Band:VARIOUS ARTISTS
Album:INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE
Label:VOLCANO PUBLISHING
Format:MAGAZINE
Genre:Psych/Garage Reissues
"INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE - The Shindig! Guide To Spacerock"
This special edition of Shindig! explores spacerock’s peculiar mix of heavy riffs and electronics through the age of the space race, the resulting sci-fi explosion and the mindexpanding influences of the acid-fried ’60s and beyond. We trace spacerock back to its roots with the soundtracks of the ’50s, including Louis and Bebe Barron’s FORBIDDEN PLANET, through to the incredible work of JOE MEEK on ‘Telstar’. In addition, we will cover the social and cultural context of the moon landings, scifi literature and the spaced-out cinema that shaped the end of the ’60s. In this environment came early spacerock efforts from THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, PINK FLOYD and THE BYRDS. One band arrived at the close of the decade to define the genre – HAWKWIND. Just as influential in their own idiosyncratic way were GONG with their Radio Gnome trilogy. Several artists pursued the electronic side of spacerock, such as SILVER APPLES and FIFTY FOOT HOSE, whilst the BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP added a distinct Britishness to proceedings. The Germans also produced their own unique contributions to the idiom with AMON DÜÜL II, NEU and ASH RA TEMPEL. At the close of the ’70s several artists such as CHROME utilised the punk spirit to reinvigorate spacerock. The magazine will take the genre through the ’80s and ’90s with HERE AND NOW and OZRIC TENTACLES and the cross-pollination of the indie scene with SPACEMEN 3 and LOOP. Taking things up to the present day and proving the genre is still in rude health are the likes of ASTRA, THE HEADS and WHITE HILLS. There will also be numerous diversions through key spacerock obscurities as well as articles from the likes of Johnny Truck, Patrick Lundborg, Ian Abrahams and Rich Deakin.

Band:DEAD MAN
Album:DEAD MAN
Label:Crusher
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
This highly acclaimed debut album by Swedish band Dead Man was originally released in early 2006. After high demand a re-print is now up for release on Crusher (cc:Vidunder,Spiders,Hoisont...) as a Black vinyl LP
“Goin’ Over the Hill,” the lead track on Dead Man’s self titled debut, is all sorts of retro classic rock awesomeness. The main riff is killer, and when the drums swell and singer Kristoffer Sjoedahl belts out, “I’m going over the hill, to see my baby,” you know you’re in for a treat. It’s a definite “Hell yeah!” moment. Comparisons can be drawn to Witchcraft, another band who poses the question “What era are these guys from anyway?” But Dead Man is less enamoured with doom and is more prone to folksy moments and Grateful Dead inspired hippy rock amidst their proto-psych jams. And while I’ve never been a fan of the Dead save for a few songs, Dead Man sits well with me. It’s buoyant, feel-good music that places playing and song craft above all else.” -John Pegoraro (Stonerrock.com)

This is the brand new full length from Portland, Oregon's Gaytheist. The album is 12 tracks and 27 minutes of pummeling yet melodic punk-metal that Spin.com has hailed as "combining the howl of the Jesus Lizard with the pop-leaning mania of Torche to thrilling effect". Add to it a live attack that has been rendering audiences throughout the Northwest deaf and dumb with excitement, this could be the year that the rest of the world starts to pay heed to what Gaytheist has to offer.

Band:RABBITS
Album:BITES RITES
Label:GOOD TO DIE
Format:LP & DOWNLOAD
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
What to do about this Rabbits problem? When last we heard from this Portland aggregation they had released their first full-length LP, Lower Forms, "totally absurd... in the best possible way" [A.V. Club]. All Music Guide said "in time, one could see this making a lot more sense." Bites Rites, the new release on Good to Die Records, opens a deep portal into the mind of the superorganism that is Rabbits. And something in that mind is not right. Like many that came before them, with success and worldwide fame came the predictable descent into bitterness, jealousy, paranoia, and eventual madness. The toll taken is obvious in both the sound and substance of the new record. Rabbits descended down into a Felony Flats basement with someone named Fester to ratchet up the sonic insanity. Guitars became grisly fried noisemakers and drums an off-the-rails machine shop (still no bass-how is it so HEAVY?!) with vocals from some deranged lunatic backed by a Family-spawned youth crew.

Band:MONOGAMY PARTY
Album:FALSE DANCERS
Label:GOOD TO DIE
Format:LP & DOWNLOAD
Genre:Punk / Proto Punk
The original trio of Monogamy Party was a powerful enough thing. Just take another spin through their neck snapping debut EP Pus City -- a record the Seattle Weekly called a "gritty, well-crafted noise rock wonderland" -- right now, if you don't believe us. Monogamy Party is now a foursome, adding guitars to the mix, and the results are downright explosive. On False Dancers, they burn things to the ground and build back anew on the ashes, using influences like early Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, and Arab on Radar as their blueprints.

Format:LP & DOWNLOAD
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
Recorded with the mighty Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Russian Circles, Sandrider) at his Red Room Recording in Seattle, No, Never! is as unfuckwithable a punk statement as you’re likely to hear this year. The 14 songs are no frills, no bullshit blows against evils both internal and external. Along the way, the band sets itself among the pantheon of other modern punk greats like Ceremony, Fucked Up, and Trash Talk.

Band:VOIGHT KAMPFF
Album:VOIGHT KAMPFF
Label:Deranged
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
It is with great pleasure that we offer in collaboration with Rock Bottom Records the debut album by VOIGHTKAMPFF. These 7 songs were originally released as a limited cassette Voight-Kampff began as Run Down in 2005 when Sulier and Swanson-White came together due to a shared love of darker moodier punk. After both had been in hardcore bands they decided to try something a little weirder. A 2 song 45 was done after passing songs back and forth and was belatedly released in 2012 on Baltimore’s Firestarter Records. At this point the songs were already written for their debut full-length and the two decided to make a clean break from RD with a name change and stripped down format which would involve only the two of them for recording purposes. VK has played roughly a show a year since 07 recruiting different friends to flesh out live line-ups including Doom Town’s Ashley Hohman and Tom Valli, Bryan Clarkson and Shaun Morrissey from The Humanoids, Matty Coonfield of Bug Chaser and Tone Rodent, Phil Schwarz of Rock Bottom Records, Ted Howard of the 86’ed, and Brad Stiffler of Condominium. The duo is currently at work writing for their second LP and has plans to finally tour and increase their activities.

Band:PLEASURE LEFTISTS
Album:2ND
Label:Deranged
Format:LP
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
On the follow-up to their 2 song EP on Katorga Works (which features both songs off the EP), Pleasure Leftists have expanded upon the moody post-punk they're known for. With these songs, however, the chorusy bass is much more prominent than on their 12 inch debut EP and brings a darker feel to the sound. On first listen it seems easy to compare that sound to that of bands like Masshysteri or Terrible Feelings, but give it a few more spins and you begin to find a lot more depth and weirdness than the often straight-forward approach of the aforementioned. The most notable standout of PL for me is the rare and fiercely original vocal approach of lead singer Haley. Prior to being recruited, Haley was known for her radio show, and since has begun her own solo project called Kiernan Paradise, which sheds light on a more electronic synthy background. Her often incoherent banshee croons set a mood which envelops and entrances you, and the guitar and bassist are smart enough to back it up subtly and simply with jangly leads and dutiful rhythms. Not at all what one might expect from two former members of 9 Shocks Terror, but good enough to make you forget any comparison or dissection. "Hunger Split" accents the rest of the songs perfectly with its surprising brightness in the midst of the otherwise-broody record. The ensuing "Not Over" conjures some Twee elements with its soft loose guitars and driving bass.

Band:ESKIMO CALLBOY
Album:WE ARE THE MESS SPECIAL EDITION
Label:REDFIELD
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Special Edition including exklusive packaging and a bonus track. Limited to only 5.000 copies worldwide.
With their sophomore Eskimo Callboy take another big step forward. Their sound mixes a lot of danceable riffs into a catchy brew, that is garnished with mean breakdowns and deep shouts. From one second to the other the listener is catapulted from the glossy disco dance floor into a sweaty moshpit and a few moments later he finds himself in a nightclub where he gets another shot at the bar. For Eskimo Callboy “We Are The Mess” is the perfect continuation of modern, danceable guitar music, which is also perfectly presented in their first single. You can jump, dance, mosh and cuddle. The range of their musical style goes from club hits like “Final Dance”, designed for the very last party of your life, over to “Broadway’s Gonna Kill Us”, a make-out song in a gloomy outfit, up to “Voodoo Circus”, a lightning-swift song including the deepest moshpart that was ever written…

Band:VITJA
Album:ECHOES
Label:REDFIELD
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Having delivered a matchless studio performance after months of fully focused songwriting, it was top producer Aljoscha Sieg who was chosen to take charge of producing and mixing VITJA's debut album at Pitchback Studios in Cologne. Both parties acknowledged that none of their previous musical projects had even been slightly as acute and complex as creating this album. "Echoes" turned out to be nothing less than a jaw-dropping masterpiece of heavy music on a technical and constructive level hardly ever before reached by a European band. With "Echoes" VITJA created the first massive pillar of their very own legacy. A legacy of intense and claiming music, recondite lyricism and indestructible volition.

Band:DEEP
Album:VOL.1
Label:Transubstans
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
OK, so you hear about a lot of bands fetching inspiration from the 70's / 80's heavy scene. Now here's a band that does more than fetch inspiration from that era - they ARE that era. Italian sludge masters DEEP has with their debut album "Vol. 1" successfully turned back the clock 30 years, combining fast fuzzed-out riffs with doomsday drum beats. This is an utterly retro sounding production with raw distorted guitars, and a feeling of old satanic sacrifice, taking the best from then and now. Right up the alley of old PENTAGRAM, old DEATH SS, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, and new comparisments of ORNE, WINDFALL and LORD VICAR to mention a few.

Band:ELEVATORS TO THE GREAT SKY
Album:CLOUD EYE
Label:Transubstans
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
ELEVATORS TO THE GRATEFUL SKY (ETTGS) hails from Palermo, Sicily, a place where scorching heat makes music - and stoner rock, in this case - particularly angry and dazed. Combining 70's heavy rock riffing with psychedelic flights, doom metal dirges and a whole palette of influences, ELEVATORS TO THE GRATEFUL SKY aren't afraid to roam across different styles while keeping their fuzzed-out wall of sound intact. This record is embraced by a beautifully drawn artwork - made by Sandro (vocals) - that really embodies the psychedelic experience and allows you to join the turbulent world of ETTGS. Don't miss out on this stone-rocker from Transubstans records! Recommended for fans of SLEEP, DOZER, KARMA TO BURN, KYUSS

Band:WHITE FANG
Album:STEADY TRUCKING FOR SUMMER
Label:METAL POSTCARD
Format:CD
Genre:Punk / Proto Punk
LOUDER THAN WAR - "Imagine if The Beatles were those guys you invited over to crash at your place after a controlled substances snack-binge and stupid movies all-nighter. You give Paul McCartney (Rikky) a bucket in case he needs to throw up and doesn’t feel he has enough confidence to make it into your bathroom on time. Meanwhile George Harrison (Unkle Funkle) is passed out on the floor with sharpie drawings of dicks all over his forehead. Kyle is Yoko Ono, suggestively slurping a popsicle stick on your sofa (not saying he’ll break the band up or anything, he just makes a good looking woman). Jimmy could never be as grouchy as Ringo, but for a moment, picture Ringo with an affinity for drunken piggy back rides and wigging out with a paper bag over his head during live performances. Simply put, the White Fang boys have the canny songwriting instincts of bands that have achieved legendary status and a permanent place in pop culture history, but they are all the better for perhaps not being aware of or greatly concerned at all about this."

The actual line-up was formed in 2010 which contains well experienced musicians who should also be well-known for some of their other acts such as GodHateCode, Afgrund, Distaste, Thirdmoon or Ultrawurscht among others. At live shows, U.G.F. are always convincing with a concrete-wall of sound and insane stageacting, leaving the crowd flattened behind. So far the guys have supported bands like Pro-Pain, Crowbar, Totenmond, Hatesphere, Final Prayer, Disbelief, No Turning Back, The Sorrow, First Blood and played various Festivals all over middle Europe. In 2013 however the time has come for U.G.F. to come up with new material to sincerely kick all hard-music-lover's butts. The musical style is a bastard of Death Metal and Hardcore, uniting elements from Doom to Thrash along with a good dosis of groove.

Band:PHOBONOID
Album:ORBITA
Label:DUSKTONE
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Phobonoid is a one mand band from Phobos. With a musical background in the DIY punk/hc/noise/metal scene, Phobonoid is a musical and cinematic journey through the darkest part of the extreme sounds, blending black metal, doom, industrial and electronic sounds from the outer space. Except for the mastering (done by Karl Daniel Liden at the Tri-Lamb Studios in Stockholm) everything has been self-produced in Phoboinoid's home-studio, since the production itself is an active part of the project.

Band:BTONG
Album:HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS
Label:GREYTONE
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
B°TONG is Chris Sigdell, former member of the German experimental industrial group NID (1995 - 2005). With B°TONG he reaches for the nether regions of experimental electronic sound and has established himself as an acknowledged and known professional soundscape artist. His music is a choice of dark, brooding layers of sound, high-pitched tones and weird electronic sounds that give birth to images of darkness and tranquillity, the solitude of an icy polar night or the equivalent of an underwater journey into a bottomless pit. To create these soundscapes, he uses found samples and self-made recordings and processes these on the computer together with recordings of his own voice and other vocal samples. There are no traditional instruments involved. In a live-situation Chris Sigdell relies on playing metalsheets, electric toys and various kitchen utensils. The sounds thus generated are put through various effect-pedals giving him that trademark sound.

Band:BIOGENESIS
Album:THE MARK BLEEDS THROUGH
Label:SOUNDMASS
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Originally formed in 1996 by front-man Chaz Bond (Jacobs Dream, Human Paradox), 13 years have passed since the release of their debut album "The Mark Bleeds Through" (2001, Rowe Productions). It has been little know, until now, that BioGenesis spent 3 months in the studio working on the recording of what was originally intended to be their debut album, which we are now releasing under the moniker of “The Mark Bleeds Through: First Blood”. After turning in the recording it was rejected by their label for not being heavy enough. The band returned to the studio to record the entire album from scratch in just a few days, resulting in the heavier (but arguably subpar) official debut.
With a style that crosses genres, you can expect an album spanning from power metal to death metal, with a touch of progressiveness – a sound which is uniquely BioGenesis. Influences include Iced Earth, Cannibal Corpse, Fear Factory, Deliverance, Disturbed and Nevermore.

Band:NERODIA
Album:PRELUDE TO MISERY
Label:Masterpiece Distr
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Formed in 2004 by guitarist & vocalist Giulio Serpico Marini October 2012 is a crucial month for Nerodia: David Folchitto (Stormlord, Screaming Banshees) is recruited to help on drums and Marco Montagna (VII Arcano) is called to arms on lead guitars. The renewed and proud combo unleashes its first bullets in a live set with Aura Noir, setting the basis for a what will be the 2013 version of Nerodia: faster, heavier, more direct and more raw than before! Time rushes but the 4 are ready to store down the new energies on record, so in no time new tracks are settled and recorded and the “Prelude to Misery” EP sees light. The EP sounds old and modern at the same time. Venom meets Possessed shake hands with Satyricon, Destruction bangs with Immortal.
