Moon Duo - Mazes

2011
Spacemen 3 and Velvet Underground rolled into a ball. Pavement, Devo and The Cars rolled into a smaller ball. Then, smashed up and squeezed into Moon Duo.

Municipal Waste - The Fatal Feast


2012
Retro crossover. Probably a couple D.R.I. albums you should have before this. Heck, there's probably a couple Municipal Waste albums you should have before this one.

Burzum - Umskiptar


2012
Not really feeling this spoken word Black Metal.

Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind


1983
People say this is the weakest in Iron Maidens run of great albums. Well, I don't know about that.

High On Fire - De Vermis Mysteriis


2012
Even better than the last High On Fire record.

Angel Witch - As Above, So Below


2012
New Angel Witch sounds a lot like old Angel Witch, but not as good.

Virus - The Agent That Shapes The Desert


2011
Early Sonic Youth and Hammers Of Misfortune share a donut at the Celtic Faire.

Thot - Obscured By The Wind


2011
Faith No More meets Rammstien for lunch in France while Nine Inch Nails poisons the food.

Horse Latitudes - Awakening


2012
Big slow heavy repetitive and really slow. Repetitive.

Electric Wizard - Legalize Drugs And Murder


2012
Sounds like outtakes from one of the last couple Electric Wizard albums. Like Metallica, Electric Wizard will never live up to expectations. Two songs

Stubb - Stubb


2012
High quality 70's style stoner rock. Earthless, Pearls and Brass, Dead Meadow type guitar hero stuff.

Celebrate - Souls Abyss


Ghetto roaming blackish metal aggressiveness. Crusty two songs.

Maruta - Forward Into Regression



Crazy chaotic hardcore punishment.

-Been gettin' lots of air time in the car... when I can take it.

Implodes - Black Earth



Ambient indy.

Premonition 13 - 13



No surprises from Wino here, but I think I like this one better than some of his previous projects.

Morne - Asylum



Driving heaviness like Zororoaster.

Lonely Kamel - Dust Devil



Starts out white boy blues, but turns out...it's stoner rock.

Honeycomb Bones - Evil Age



Garagey-underground rock that's got a White Stripes vibe.

-Roots garage rock.

Electric Sister - The Lost Art Of Rock & Roll



High energy rock with some swagger. -It's sounds like a band Slash would put together or Nikki Sixx. Dudes trying to stay relevant, but their heyday was a long time ago.
