Essence - Lost In Violence


2011
Modern Metal strongly influenced by Thrash, without being retro. Sounds like late model Exodus without the super mega-production. This is more listenable.

Ice Dragon - The Sorrowful Sun


2011
Rory : "Is that Ozzy"?
Jim: "No, for your information, this is Ice Dragon."

ONE HOUR LATER

Jim : "Do you think Ice Dragon is from another country"?
Rory : "What makes you think that?"
Jim : "Well, ther name is Ice Dragon for one thing".

No, but seriously folks. Very cool old school Sabbath sound with that kick back vibe. Keep on smokin' them joints!

-This has got some boom box production qualities as well.
-Early Sabbath sound that's stretched way out and get hypnotic on your ass.

Electric Earth - Touching The Void


2011
Hard rock commercial metal lite. This album seems to go on forever and ever. I will never listen to this again.

Magdalena Solis - Hisperia


2011
Brian Jones and Pink Floyd share the hash pipe in India 1968 style. Throw this on in between Umaguma and OM during the DJ set at your next opium den sex party.

Wo-Fat - Noche Del Chupacabra


2011
Mid 90's influenced stoner type rock like Nebula ect. They also take off and do full on extended lead guitar space jams like Earthless, but heavier and grime yer like Porn (men Of). As far as current bands go they remind me of Sasquatch who sound like they from Texas doin' stoner rock, but they're from L.A. Wo-Fat actually is from Texas so somehow you can hear the ZZ Top in there. One of the cooler releases this year. Which you would expect because Texas has been having a heatwave for like three months and wild fires too.
