Band:INSECT ARK
Album:Marrow Hymns - LP
Label:Profound Lore
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Comprised of Dana Schechter (bass, lap steel guitar, synthesizers) and Ashley Spungin (drums, synthesizers), Insect Ark’s intensely visual music weaves interludes of fragile beauty with crushing passages of swirling doom, spinning like a backwards fever dream. “Marrow Hymns” is a wordless song, a hypnotic voice that screams and whispers from a place deep in the furrows, from the bones, from the blood.
Defying easy categorization, INSECT ARK’s uncommon sound is in part the amalgamation of these two women’s passions: Schechter’s sinister bass lines and unconventional use of lap steel guitar (and her complete omission of electric guitar), and Spungin’s lucid, exacting drumming and synth work with her own hand-built analog noise pedals (Ormus Electronics).
Formed in 2011 by Schechter as a solo project, from its inception INSECT ARK has been about creating work that transports, both physically and psychologically. Spungin joined in 2015 for touring support of “Portal/Well”, and over the next year, INSECT ARK became something much greater than the sum of its parts. Both women have roots firmly in making work with no borders – they are DIY makers, multiinstrumentalists, gearheads, and visual artists. Spungin studies live sound, studio recording, programming and analog electronics; Schechter composes music for film and is a video maker/animator for film/TV. A full-length video counterpart for live shows is to come shortly, integrating sound and visuals to build immersive sonic landscapes that echo in the empty spaces where the earth divides, offering the listener - and the band themselves - utter sensory submersion.

Band:OLD TOWER
Album:Stellary Wisdom
Label:Profound Lore
Format:cd
Genre:Black Metal
OLD TOWER is the creation of a mysterious entity from The Netherlands known as The Specter who, through the vessel of OLD TOWER, creates alluring yet meditative otherworldly synth music that transports the listener to a long forgotten age of memory’s past. OLD TOWER is a reflection of The Specter’s personal inner world and experiences in real life, a dimension and a metaphor for the world that everyone experiences, but cannot see or do not want to feel; the solitude and darkness
that resides in us all. OLD TOWER is a resistance towards modernity and the shallow values which our society is built upon.
The visions that are formed when consuming the sounds of OLD TOWER are that of mystical desolate landscapes, majestic ancient ruins, deep dark decrepit dungeons, murky chambers, and ghostly moonlit forests. Meditative audial spells dedicated to the eternal
For fans of early Mortiis, the ambient side of early Burzum, and Tangerine Dream...

Band:POWELL ST.JOHN
Album:Sultan Of Psychedelia - LP
Label:LION PRODUCTIONS
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Psych/Garage Reissues
Powell St. John is unquestionably one of the true founders and innovators of the acid rock sound. A listen here will leave no doubt as to why he has earned the title “Sultan Of Psychedelia”. Archival recordings of pure rootsy psychedelia by the obscure but iconic 1960’s Austin, Texas musician/songwriter who not only wrote the timeless rock classic 'Bye, Bye Baby,' but also four songs on the legendary first two 13th Floor Elevator albums, "Psychedelic Sounds” (1966) and “Easter Everywhere” (1967). Aside from his songwriting relationship with The Elevators, Powell’s musical credentials include stints with The Waller Creek Boys and a young Janis Joplin, the early Austin psych band The Conqueroo, and Mother Earth with Tracy Nelson.
Over the years, Powell’s songs have been recorded by such artists as Boz Scaggs, Janis Joplin, Doug Sahm, The 13th Floor Elevators, Mother Earth and Roky Erickson. Boz called Powell a fantastic songwriter, Roky referred to him as a first-rate harmonica player and Tracy said he was “the most significant and profound and the least appreciated artist of the era.”
The twelve songs on this, the first ever vinyl album of Powell’s music, are a mesmerizing mix of psychedelia with basic blues influences, soulful harmonica, brilliant electric guitar that fuses trembling vibrato, effects and fuzz, some “Elevators type” jug and even some Spanish influence on at least one song. The lyrics are masterful strokes of acid-inspired, thoughtprovoking
storytelling. The legendary Roky Erickson joins Powell on track nine, 'Right Track Now.' Other artists participating on this album include: John Ike Walton and Ronnie Leatherman of the 13th Floor Elevators, Mary Ann Price from Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, and Frosty Smith, drummer for Lee Michaels, Rare Earth and others. Appropriately, 'Kingdom Of Heaven,' one of the all-time LSD anthems, starts the album.

Band:GREEN SEAGULL
Album:SCARLET FEVER
Label:MEGA DODO
Format:cd
Genre:Psych/Garage
Taking their name from a mis‐heard Rolling Stones lyric, Green Seagull are the latest band to burst out of London's burgeoning neo‐psych scene. Their harmony laden baroque/freakbeat sound draws upon influences such as the Left Banke, the Kinks, and the Association.
The band formed in 2016 when Paul Nelson (New Electric Ride) approached Paul Milne (Hidden Masters / Magnetic Mind) to work on some songs together. A shared enthusiasm for late 60s baroque psychedelia and 12‐string jangle soon blossomed into a prolific songwriting team, and before long the duo had more songs than they knew what to do with.
They were joined shortly after by Sarah Gonputh on keys and Elian Dalmasso on drums, and the newly minted quartet set about recording a demo in their rehearsal room on an old cassette 4 track. These lofi recordings pricked up the ears of Mega Dodo Records, who immediately signed the band for an album deal. Released in June 2017 their debut single 'Scarlet / They Just Don't Know' drew rave reviews from the likes of Shindig! magazine and airplay from Mark Radcliffe, Gideon Coe, and Marc Riley on BBC 6 Music.

Band:big bad brute
Album:THE GREAT WHITE
Label:Transubstans
Format:cd
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Big Bad Brute is a three-piece rock band from the southern plains of Sweden. They will leave an emotional skid marking the hearts of music fans who like heavy riffs, pounding drums and gnarly licks. With one foot in 70’s rock, one in 90’s alternative and a fingertip in 80’s hardcore, they’ve created what they call “a unique sonic blend”. In reality it’s a complete rip-off, but the band asks that you do not offend them by telling them or anyone else. In early 2017 the band got in touch with Transubstans Records and the two agreed on working together. Out of the dozen songs from the pre-production, eight were selected and re-recorded for what was to become their debut album “The Great White”. While it’s no concept album, there’s certainly a thematic affinity among the songs, both musically and lyrically.

Band:APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE
Album:FROM GOLD TO ASH
Label:Cruz Del Sur
Format:cd
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
The doom bell tolls roughly every four years for Indiana’s Apostle Of Solitude. Formed in 2004 by former The Gates Of Slumber drummer Chuck Brown, the band followed their 2008 “Sincerest Misery” debut with “Last Sunrise” in 2010, then, in between two splits and a demo, released “Of Woe And Wounds” in 2014, which also served as their first album for Italy’s Cruz Del Sur Music. Just in time, Apostle Of Solitude greets the legions of doom in early 2018 with their fourth studio album, “From Gold To Ash”.
Recorded in September 2017 at Russian Recording in Bloomington, Indiana with studio owner and engineer Mike Bridavsky, “From Gold To Ash” offers seven songs of ambitious and equally aching doom. Largely defined by the heartfelt and emotive vocals of Brown, “From Gold To Ash” covers a wide spectrum of doom, from thundering gallops, mid-tempo bashers to reflective, melodic romps. With songs as voluminous as this, it’s no surprise the songwriting process for Apostle Of Solitude (who are rounded out by guitarist Steve Janiak, bassist Mike Naish and drummer Corey Webb) is one of deliberation and utmost care. “From Gold To Ash” starts with the savage and gritty guitar chugs of “Overlord”, and gradually starts to take shape with the Sabbath thunder-clap of “Ruination Be Thy Name”, a cut that features some of Brown’s most elaborate singing to date. After the soft peddles found on interlude “Autumn Moon”, the slow-crawl guitar harmonies of “Keeping The Lighthouse” and dominating lurch of “My Heart Is Leaving Here” find Apostle Of Solitude playing at near-funeral doom tempos. The sorrow continues with “Monochrome (Discontent)” and “Grey Farewell”, where Brown unfurls soulful, yet melancholic vocal lines, which, according to the singer, was a point of emphasis during songwriting sessions.

Band:OLD MOTHER HELL
Album:Old Mother Hell
Label:Cruz Del Sur
Format:cd
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
There is nowhere to hide as a power trio. Musical shortcomings are easily exposed. Chinks in the sonic armor are painfully evident. The common utterance that “A band is only strong as its weakest member” couldn’t ring truer. Bands with a high number of members can easily mask its deficiencies - not power trios. Some of metal’s best three-man outfits —Destruction, Motörhead and Sodom — have the commonality that there is no weak links. The same applies for one of metal’s most exciting new power trios, Germany’s Old Mother Hell.
Old Mother Hell was formed in 2015 from the ashes of another local thrash act, Hatchery, by Wener, bassist Ronald Senft and drummer Ruben André. The band recorded their self-titled debut album in May 2017 at Rama Studio Mannheim with producer/engineer Jens Siefert at the helm. The album’s six songs are smoldering, anthemic bodies of work, as Wener’s impassioned vocals and simple, yet powerful riffs work in perfect tandem with the Senft/André rhythm section. The end result is a striking balance between mountainous epic metal and a straightforward attack, with doom influences present, even as the band is playing pure, take-no-prisoners metal.
And to top it all off, Old Mother Hell did things the old-fashioned way: Hammering the songs out in their rehearsal room, then recording them at Rama Studio Mannheim with little overdubs. The band’s self-titled debut has already caught fire across Europe, with the album receiving “Demo Of The Month” and “Self-Produced Album Of The Month” in Rock Hard and Deaf Forever magazines, respectively. The positive reception couldn’t have come at a better time now that Italy’s Cruz Del Sur Music is handling the album’s exclusive digital,vinyl release and compact disc re-release. But alas, the journey
has just begun for Old Mother Hell, who, in their brief existence, has already exceeded their own expectations.

Band:SACRED LEATHER
Album:Ultimate Force
Label:Cruz Del Sur
Format:cd
Genre:Metal
A fierce blend of classic and thrash metal, fully capable of unleashing an all-out blitz (“Ultimate Force”, “Master Is Calling”),
dealing mid-tempo bashers (“Watcher”, “Power Thrust”) and perhaps best of all, offering an epic, towering ballad in the form of “Dream Searcher”, which, according to lead vocalist Dee Wrathchild, is the most ambitious track on the record. “It’s centered around the theme of heartbreak. A man has lost his love and is only able to be reunited with her in his dreams. He is poised to suffer eternally in reality, but in the realm of sleep, he is able to revisit her.”
Heavy metal with this kind of conviction is not to be taken lightly. On “Ultimate Force”, Sacred Leather brings the hammer and anvil, the silver and steel, magic and might, providing one of the most convincing representations of metal to be heard in 2018. “Heavy metal represents individualism in the face of conformity and an escape from reality,” concludes Wrathchild. “You can crank it up, bang your head, and you will always have thousands of brothers and sisters in heavy metal that connect with what they are hearing as much as you do. It’s timeless. It’s power. It’s the ‘Ultimate Force’.”

Album:korto
Label:Six Tonnes Du Chair
Format:7INCHVINYL
Genre:Garage Punk
Korto is a diesel motor launched without mercy on the highway of supersonic kraut rock married to space punk and
drugged by synthetic pop.
Backed by a burning bass/drum, between psychedelic steamroller and afrobeats, an acidic or graceful guitar, and some
nonchalant vocals, the trio is outside of any weary labels : Korto is not heir of an era or from a movement, but rather of an
image that we’ve given carte blanche. Korto is a 3-wheeled race car that combines the past to future, advocates free public transportation and doesn’t order dessert at a restaurant. The band would invite Turing Machine, The Ex, The Young Gods, Goat or even Fela Kuti for a meal in a road house and leave without paying for it.

Band:MYNTH
Album:PARALLELS
Label:SEA YOU
Format:cd
Genre:Alt Rock
Mynths seconds album Parallels alludes with melancholy. The sinister feeling of Plaat II is vanishing and is transmitted into optimism or at least black humor. Mynths sounds is optimistic, less melancholic, has a brighter sound as we are used to. It´s more pop than trip hop and downbeat, less pondering heads and more dancing feet. I don´t do black / I paint with colors only.
In the studio, they acted more like a band and toured in Bulgaria, Mexico and Israel what influenced their production process: live drums and more guitar are involved and they exchanged their whole synthesizer set to prevent to slip back into old patterns. Paralles is however a transformation. Although twins Giovanna and Mario had a distant relationship - one in Berlin and one in Vienna - during writing process, they kept touch via music and they worked parallel alongside. Parallels is a familiar conversation between siblings, separated and reunited, nostalgic and cheerful.

"“Now, this is some serious shit to speak about. Altarage are as real as they get, though there’s no way to decipher
who in the hell they are. They could be an entirely new band in the excellent Spaniard extreme scene. Either way,
they could be some kind of supergroup we don’t have the way to know about as well.”

Band:HESYCHIA
Album:Metanoia
Label:cyclic law
Format:cd
Genre:Avantgarde/Electronic
New project by Austrian Arthur Rosar (former member of Abigor, Walser…). The album is a meditation on freedom from all passions (apatheia) and repentance (metanoia) through fundamental concepts established by early christian mysticism (the desert fathers) with respect to zen buddhism and pre-christian European traditions. An aural guide to force the removal of all illusions and be in total awareness of the eternal now, forging a stillness of the soul, going beyond the mundane. The music is a savvy achievement of total surrender through improvised analog atmospherics and field recordings. Recorded during lent 2016
A.D. by Arthur Rosar with Erik Mayer at Bethlehem, Vienna. Artwork by Dehn Sora.

Band:SHEDIR
Album:Falling Time
Label:cyclic law
Format:cd
Genre:Avant-Garde
First solo work by Italian musician Martina Betti. “Falling Time” is an aural ticket to a non place. Swirling ambient sounds made of processed field recordings converge into a richly textured and harmonically layered narrative. The tracks scan the phases of ascension to a suspended and formless destination, free from the bounds of time and space: a rite of passage. We are nowhere, a journey with no boundaries or restrictions transforming the smallness of ordinary life into transcendent magnitudes.
Building on constant cinematic tension, frictions and collisions of sounds, through which the mind is transformed, freed from daily dualities, at one with it’s psychic abilities.

Band:GANKINO CIRCUS
Album:Die Letzten Ihrer Art
Label:BESTE! UNTERHALTUNG
Format:cd
Genre:Folk
Gankino Circus / "Die Letzten ihrer Art" : a folk and world music concert show and an exuberant finale.
‘Anarchical, crazy, brilliant’, that’s what Süddeutsche Zeitung, a big German newspaper, wrote about one of Gankino Circus’s concerts. Talking about concerts, when these four musicians perform, it’s more of a world-music play, a cabaret spectacle, a subcultural sensation than just a concert. Gankino Circus attack their homeland’s musical tradition with breakneck tunes and boisterous enthusiasm and lay it at their audience’s feet exuding their unique sense of humour.

Band:RON MOOR
Album:YOUTH
Label:MandO MUSIC
Format:cd
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
Ron Moor does not want to compromise. At a time when we categorize, when we sanitize, Ron Moor makes both a cloudy and clear piece of art. With catchy and melodic anthems and intimate ballads, the music of Ron Moor takes us from the confines of early 2000s Nu-Gaze to the current hyper-electronic destructuralism, through the powerful radical 90s alternative rock. Unsatisfied by nature, he controls brilliantly the full range of his art, made of vintage and modern pieces, alternating uncompromising mainstream-like rock and incisive artistic vision. Rocked by the music of American bands of the 90s, Ron Moor built up his own asserted artistic universe very early. His music vacillates between an ultra-airy pop and a alternative rock with indisputable efficiency, mixing brilliantly powerful guitars and breath-taking electronic pads, reminding bands like Biffy Clyro, Nine Inch Nails, Failure or My Vitriol.
