Evoke Thy Lords - Drunken Tales
stoner doom

"This one time, in doombandcamp, Evoke Thy Lords stuck a flute in their... mix." A great stoner doom jam with the added twist of near full-time Forest of Equlibrium-like flute. Perfect to chill to as the Northern Hemisphere heats up.

Rammstein - Ljubljana, Slovenia - 30th April 2013 21.05

During their "Made In Germany European Tour", the path of mighty German industrialists Rammstein led to the Slovenian crime scene once again, their second appearance here (the first was back in 2005). These fellas are uniquely famous for their spectacular live performances, leaving nothing to coincidence. Explosions, fire, lovely multi-colour flames, all kinds of pyrotechnics that you cannot think of, burning people, etc. On the other side they are masters of interpreting love and hate in the way of excessive perversion and bizarreness. All of that combined with a heavy sound of more... (by Abattoir)   Read more ››

Heidevolk - Batavi (2012)

Some albums can strike you as excellent examples of the genre with which they are labelled, the music contained within sounding exactly as one would desire and clutching closely onto the crux of said genre. On the other hand some give you a clear indication that they are just another run-of-the-mill output that fails to offer you anything beneficial. With their fourth release, entitled Batavi, Heidevolk offer an all too familiar tale of likeable folk/viking metal. Question is who is going to be... (by R'Vannith)   Read more ››
