Ufomammut - Snailking (2004)

Genre: Stoner Doom

320

I remember being first exposed to a band named Neurosis, I was never so blown away by the intensity and atmosphere ever in my musical life, especially the album Enemy of the Sun. Since then, I've been searching for bands that offer the same feelings I got from Neurosis but I had no avail. I hate it when that happens because I am disappointed with everything and music became less enjoyable. Neurosis wasn't the only the band that did this to me but that's another story.

Ufomammut may not be similar to Neurosis but this album brought back the intensity I've been looking for. However it brings it in a different way, obviously. Ufomammut are doomy, psychedelic and heavy. They're like getting sucked into the Dreamlands, and being dragged off by Nightgaunts and you have no idea where you're going.

Thomas Giles - Pulse [2011/256]

This is COMPLETELY different from Thomas's previous effort. While the electronic influence is still present in this album, it's nowhere near as prominent. Pulse is more of a progressive rock album with some electronic influence. Some songs are very different from the rest of the album ("Catch & Release" comes to mind) but everything else compliments the rest of the album fairly well. Great way to start 2011.

Full-length, Willowtip Records
January 25th, 2011



Genre: Technical Death Metal

Oh yes. The much anticipated follow up to 2009's masterpiece Everything Is Fire has leaked, and it is another slab of atmosphere laden and dissonant death metal which you should not pass up. This year is already awesome.

Curl Up And Die - We May Be Through With The Past... / ...But The Past Ain't Through With Us (2003)

EP, Status Recordings/Revelation Records
2003





Genre: Metalcore/Hardcore
Region: USA

I came across "We May Be Through With The Past..." a month back in a record store for $3, it's one of two EPs Curl Up And Die released in 2003 that are connected (I guess); the other entitled "...But The Past Ain't Through With Us."

An excellent EP set, short and sweet, and like their two full lengths are great blasts of metalcore (with a few "experimental" moments). WMBTWTP in 320, BTPATWU in 196.
