DOOM OVER LEIPZIG 2014 fuhr schwerste Geschütze im ausverkauften UT Connewitz auf! | rolled out heaviest artillery in the sold out UT Connewitz!

UT Connewitz, Foto credit: Mike Wiener

Unser Resümee zum DOOM OVER LEIPZIG 2014 lautet ganz eindeutig: Top Bands an einmaligem Veranstaltungsort und tolle Stimmung! Wenn man die Entwicklung des Leipziger Festivals betrachtet, hat es sich zu einem Doom-Event der Superlative gemausert. Dieses Jahr warteten die Veranstalter mit den Genre-Größen ESOTERIC, WINDHAND, INDIAN, CONAN und KONGH auf, die allesamt und dem guten Klang im ehrwürdigen UT Connewitz sei Dank, ein Doom-Brett nach dem anderen ablieferten.

INDIAN, Foto credit: Mike Wiener

Auch den Sludge-Jüngern wurde die volle Eyehategod-Kante mit GRAVES AT SEA und SOURVEIN geboten, in deren Folge nicht wenige Gäste entzückt grinsend herumliefen. Maximal melancholisch gruben sich die akustischen Stücke von 40 WATT SUN in die Herzschmerz- und Seelenleid-geprüften Publikumsherzen. Kein geringerer als Ex-WARNINGs Patrick Walker überzeugte mit seinen zutiefst berührenden Stücken. Auch wenn ich an der einen oder anderen Stelle die verzerrte Gitarre vermisste, gab es das ersehnte "Footprints" von WARNING noch als Sahnehäubchen oben drauf.

SOURVEIN, Foto credit: Mike Wiener

THE BODY sorgte für die passende Drone-Note und CIRCLE sowohl für das optische und tonale Überraschungsmoment im Festival-Billing. Man stelle sich den Frontmann mit Addidas-Trainingsanzug, Nieten-Armgürtel und gestochenen Heavy-Vocals vor, dazu die entsprechenden Gitarrenriffs, Hamond-Orgel-Attacken en masse und eine mit homoerotischen Einlagen durchzogene Performance, dass kein Auge trocken blieb. Musikalisch tanzten CIRCLE klar aus der Festival-Reihe, waren aber auch nach dem äußerst unterhaltsamen Auftritt in aller Munde.

CIRCLE, Foto credit: Mike Wiener

OLD MAN GLOOM begeisterte alle Fans von Riffs wie GODFLESH sie seiner Zeit spielten. Nur bei INTER ARMA fiel es mir schwer, Gefallen an der zuweilen anstrengend Schwarzmetall-lastigen Musik zu finden. Das war aber bei der Menge an hochkarätigen Bands an allen drei Tagen zu verschmerzen und ich maximal zerdoomt.

Warum das UT Connewitz so ein einmaliger Veranstaltungsort ist? Fragt einfach bei NEUROSIS nach, die während jeder Europatour zwei Konzerte auf der Bühne im ältesten Lichtspielkino Deutschlands geben. Oder Jon von CONAN, der es mir kurz, bündig und auf den Punkt ins Ohr flüsterte: "What an awesome venue!" Recht hat er. Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Jahr wenn es wieder heißt: DOOM OVER LEIPZIG!

MOUNTAIN WITCH: Neuen Sound & neue 7-Inch-Scheibe gibt es am 14ten April! | New sound & 7-Inch vinyl to be released April 14th!

MOUNTAIN WITCH aus Hamburg haben seit ihrem Doom-Album "Scythe & Dead Horse" eine unglaubliche musikalische Metamorphose vollzogen. Mit den zwei Songs auf der neuen 7-Inch-Scheibe "Snake Wand" entschlüpfen sie wie ein Schmetterling dem Kokon und breiten die Flügel aus, um die Welt mit 70s-BLACK SABBATH-O-Tönen und DEEP PURPLE im Blut zu begrüßen. Kein Wunder, denn von letztgenannten stammt der Song "Black Night", den jeder Heavy-Fan kennen sollte. Diese Cover-Version rockt wie das Original. Das selbstkomponierte "Snake Wand" steht dem in nichts nach und fängt den Spirit der guten alten Seventies wunderbar ein. Sichert euch die Vinly-Variante auf der Bandcamp-Seite von MOUNTAIN WITCH und die digitale Version gleich für unterwegs dazu!

-------------------------------------------------

Hamburg based MOUNTAIN WITCH have made an unbelievable metamorphosis since their Doom album "Scythe & Dead Horse". With the two tracks on the new 7-inch vinyl, called "Snake Wand", they escape the cocoon like a butterfly and spread the wings to welcome the world with 70s BLACK SABBATH tunes and DEEP PURPLE in the blood. No wonder, because the track "Black Night" is taken from the last mensioned and should be known by any Heavy stuff fan. This cover version rocks like the original. The self-composed "Snake Wand" is as good as that and catches the seventies spirit perfectly. Get hold on the vinyl at MOUNTAIN WITCH's Bandcamp and make sure to purchase the digital version for the walk too!

SERPENTINE PATH: Infos zum zweiten Album bei Relapse | Announce Info for Second Relapse LP

Following a two-year release stretch since their bold self-titled debut LP was issued, Relapse Records this week unveils the release details on the highly-anticipated second LP from New York City-based morbid sludge metal executioners, SERPENTINE PATH, who will bring forth their most demoralizing and anguish-filled slow-motion chaos yet, with the newly-completed Emanations.

As with their first album, Emanations was recorded by the band's Jay Newman, after which it was honed to devastating perfection at Audiosiege, the album capturing forty-five minutes of true sludge punishment with seven brand new songs from this true underground all-star team. Sure, the pedigree is undeniable, but regardless of their "members of" status, SERPENTINE PATH is one of the most scathing sludge acts on the planet. 

Emanations will see parole via Relapse May 27th, 2014 on CD, LP and digital formats. A new trailer featuring a sample of the audio, as well as the cover art by in-house Relapse artist Orion Landau and more has been released. View the trailer HERE, and place preorders for the album HERE.

BRUNT: Hypnotic experimental Doom from Guernsey (UK). Get your digital copy now!

"You'll definitely feel the full force of this new Guernsey trio. The absence of a vocalist draws plenty of attention to their hypnotic experimental music which ebbs and flows like a strong swamp tide.The music is lead by classic stoner rock riffs, dripping with thick overdrive to create a sludgy fuzzy bluesy sound backed by the solid doom drums/bass grooves of the Mariess brothers." - Vale Earth

FROGSKIN: Finnisches Sludge-Monster hat Split-7-Inch mit den Doomcrustern LÄHDÖN AIKA veröffentlicht! | Finnish sludge monsters released a Split 7-Inch with Doomcrusters LÄHDÖN AIKA!

FROGSKIN / LÄHDÖN AIKA 7” EP Release date 4.4. 2014 

(82-Records / Rusto-Osiris / Rämekuukkeli)

Bands which have played already ten years have experienced quite a lot already. But I bet also this release has a special kind of significance for both groups. At least one reason might be the fact, that these bands are not exactly well known for making plenty of releases. A kind of slowness comes naturally with the style they play, producing sludge and doom takes time. Although these genres bound to be very dark, heavy and sorrowful, at least with this release you don't have to mourn because of the failure.

MOS GENERATOR and Ripple Music announce new project on the heels of their latest album, "Electric Mountain Majesty"!

Classic MOS GENERATOR Album Songs for Future Gods gets the complete Tony Reed Makeover for Reissue on Ripple Music!

*********************************************

"If there's such a thing as fusing some soul into a doom palette, MOS GENERATOR has achieved that. Seldom will you hear an unambiguous merge between the two outside of BLACK SABBATH's "Sabotage". Tony Reed (guitar, vocals), Scooter Haslip (bass) and Shawn Johnson (drums) have tapped into a loud vibe featuring sinister and coarse nuances yet with something revealing far more heart.” ~ BLABBERMOUTH

"As pure an example of heavy rock as I've heard...more swagger than rage...a heavy rocker's chorus-loaded paradise." ~ THE OBELISK

"Mos Generator are eclectic classic rockers who apparently do not like to crystallize their music according to a rigid standard. On the contrary they apparently like to explore the gifts of forty years of heavy music in freedom." ~ DOOMMANTIA

*********************************************

RIPPLE MUSIC and MOS GENERATOR have a long history of teaming up to bring the world the best in heavy stoner rock! Now, their latest collaboration is being unveiled.

Originally, Mos Generator main man Tony Reed teamed with Ripple Music to release his then active band, Stone Axe (Stone Axe I, Stone Axe II, and Stone Axe Captured Live) and both parties knew they had to work together to bring back the raging sound of Mos Generator. At that time, Mos Generator had been inactive for five years, but Reed and Ripple Music broke that silence with the glorious LP/CD combination package of the 10th Anniversary re-issue of Mos Generator’s long-out-of-print debut album. Originally a CD only release, this was the debut album’s first ever release on vinyl (Available in the Ripple Store).

The response was so strong that Tony Reed re-united the band and soon released the critically hailed Ripple Music release, Nomads (also in the Ripple store) which led to resurgent tours of Europe and an ever-expanding audience for the heaviness of Mos Generator.

Now, on the eve of their Listenable Records debut release Electric Mountain Majesty Ripple Music and Tony Reed once again announce their team-up to bring the definitive, “Director’s Cut” version of the Mos Generator masterpiece album, Songs for Future Gods. Completely remastered, this re-issue of the 2007 release (originally on Small Stone Records) features a completely new mix and two songs from the aborted recording sessions from January 2006. The digipack also features modified cover art and packaging. This is the album as it was originally intended and still redefines the sound of Mos Generator, a sprawling celebration of heavy amplification, fret-board psychotropics and kick-ass heavy rock. Songs From Future Gods is classic Mos Generator and this is the definitive cut of the album.

While in the Ripple store, you can also check out Tony Reed’s solo album, Ediz Hook, his psychedelic work as Heavy Pink, the classic Stone Axe albums, as well as other Mos Generator LP’s, 10” and CD goodies like Tales From the Vault, The Vault Sessions, Destroy! The Mos Generator, and The Late Great Planet Earth. Keep your eyes open for more Ripple Music and Tony Reed collaborations to come soon.

MOS GENERATOR is:

Tony Reed (guitar, vocals)

Scooter Haslip (bass)

Shawn Johnson (drums)

Fri 09.05.14 PMK, Innsbruck, Austria. (200)

Sat 10.05.14 Lofi, Milan, Italy.

Sun 11.05.14 Romandie, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Across two full-length albums a concept emerges, and on their latest album, entitled, "The Feather Tipped the Serpent’s Scale", the themes pick up right where the band’s acclaimed debut LP, "The Unkindness of Crows", left off. In this installment, the crows documented in the first album have battled the sun and were burned back down to earth as black snakes, the concept of the album focusing mainly on the snake and its various mythic and symbolic incarnations. Ultimately, the great ancestral snake is transformed from its lowly beginnings back into a bird soaring upon the thermals. Demonstrating the cyclical nature of being.

"The Feather Tipped The Serpent's Scale" was recorded with Randall Dunn at London Bridge Studio (as with the first album), the record boasts some of the most mesmerising and monstrous riff transformations from Eagle Twin to date.

Having seen them live many moons ago, I can attest to their monumental sonic force and power, demonstrating perfect symbiosis between guitar and drums. I really cannot wait for more people to see them!

"Oblation" will be released on Digipak CD, various coloured LPs, cassette and merchandising on April 25th, 2014. All formats can be pre-ordered on Season of Mist’s e-shop. Cover art and tracklist of "Oblation" can be viewed below:

FLOOR are back. The trio formed in 1992 achieved legendary status with only one full-length, their self-titled debut album "Floor" (2002) and despite splitting two years later. Their first line-up consisted of guitarist and vocalist Steve Brooks, Anthony Vialon on guitar and bass, and drummer Betty Monteavaro. The latter was replaced by Jeff Sousa in 1993, while Brooks and Vialon dropped the bass in favour of two low-tuned guitars. This line-up released several cult vinyl 7" EPs until a first break-up in 1996. The guitarists returned with Henry Wilson on drums for one show in 1997. Following hard on the heels of KYUSS, FLOOR are brothers in spirit to the desert rock feeling of shimmering heat, the pound and stomp of heavy engines, and a burning taste of diesel in the air. After breaking up again, Steve Brooks moved on and formed TORCHE with massive success. Yet the guitarist and singer still agreed to a reunion tour in 2010 to celebrate the release of "Below & Beyond", which encompassed the trio’s complete material until that point in an 8-CD/10-LP box set. Heavily enjoying the experience and further fuelled by the exponentially grown following during their hiatus, FLOOR decided to record a new album. Now "Oblation" picks up where "Floor" left off more than ten years ago. Adding a dose of doom and a dash of drone, the new album crushes with a powerful production. CONVERGE guitarist Kurt Ballou mixed the album at GodCity Studios (TORCHE, KVELERTAK, HIGH ON FIRE) and the mastering was done by Alan Douches (BARONESS, BLACK TUSK, MOTÖRHEAD). Lean back, crank up and sacrifice to the gods of stoner rock with this mighty "Oblation".
