Castevet - Obsian

2013

This is rockin' atmospheric Black Metal. Six songs. Five,six,seven minutes long. Throwin' in some experimental/progressive.

Chronobot - Chronobot

2013

Desert/Space rock like Monster Magnet and Sleep. Basically instrumental.

Doomriders - Grand Blood

2013

With a name like Doomriders you might expect a big heavy plodding beat down, but these guys smoke and rip like a noisy AmRep band from the 90's. Similar to Cutthroats 9 and that is high praise coming from me.  

Danny Brown - Old

Rap Hip/Hop. Starts out pretty aggressive. My friend Ron used to say, "It's all about the beats". I have to agree with that. Hip Hop for me is 90% production, and with people with skills can Rap over that, it can put things over the top. Gangster, but after the first few songs the aggression lets up.

Blood Ceremony - The Eldritch Dark

2013

Folky 70's retro rock. Good stuff. I little more flute than I need personally in my retro rock. Do I need to mention Black Sabbath? Cool sounds.

Britney Spears - Britney Jean

2013

Dance music. Sounds like commercials. There's nothing really catchy that jumps out at all. That's what's suppose to happen with music like this. Bland. The soundtrack to a fake good time.

Boston - Life, Love and Hope

2013

You should listen to every other Boston album before you listen to this one. This album reminds me of having to get out of bed. This is the least enjoyable thing I have listened to in months.

Persuader - The Fiction Maze

2014

Triumphant Power Metal. These guys play this kind of music very well. It's just not my thing. They almost win me over though, but not quite really. I can only take this in small doses. A few songs have some super awesome riffs, then it kills it for me when the vocals pop up. Keyboards come in half way through the album, but they take a back seat.

Summoner - Atlantian

2013

Mellow doomy stoner rock. Heavy rythym section. Guitars go back and forth from the crunch to psychedelic melodies. Cool songs. Good band. It's not all mellow they rock out too, it's just not aggressive...and you'll hear some Black Sabbath in there. Little bit of Iron Maiden too, really good album.

Primal Fear - Delivering The Black

2014

Sounds like 80's Metal. Reminds me of bands like Lizzy Borden or Skid Row, or maybe early Queensryche, but with just one ballad. Good songs. These guys play this kind of music really well.

-This album is on heavy rotation round these parts February 2014. This is the tenth album from these guys and the first I've ever heard.

Lunamare - Lunamare

2013

Keyboards are predominant here. Indie rock. Space rock. Semi - aggressive guitar burried behind keyboard.

Tombstoned - Tombstoned

2013

I like this. They get some good jams going and introduce some new elements here and there. Reminds me of early Electric Wizard without the excessiveness.

Dune - Progenitor

2013 

Kyuss on steroids.

Infinity - Non De Hac Terra

2013

Black Metal with good production and Immortal like vocals. Solid Black Metal, not sure if this really stands out from the pack. Five and six minute songs.

Cauce - Cauce

\

2013

This bores me. Psychedelic rock out similar to Earthless. Soundgarden like riffs. They're jammin' their Kyuss type grooves. Maybe it's the production that makes this sound sterile.

Boudain - Boudain

2013

Big Stoner rockin'.Like 16 playing High On Fire...or vise versa. You might be reminded of Sleep and/or Black Sabbath while listening to this.

Cave - Threace

2013

Instrumental Jazzy/Funky progressive rock. I only like this a little.

The Japhies - 22/3

2013

High energy rock with Stoner influences. In the neighborhood of Mudhoney or White Stripes. I'm hearing some70's rock influences.

Watchtower - Watchtower I

2013

Early Electric Wizard with some Church Of Misery thrown in. Stoner Sludge. This is how you do it.

Arabrot - Arabrot

2013

Reminds me of Tomahawk. Polished noise rock.

Red Fang - Whales And Leeches

2013

Really catchy stoner metal. Easily accessible. You'll hear some Mastadon or Melvins type influences in there.

Magic Circle - Magic Circle

2013

Doomy stoner rock. Simple production that fits the music. 70's inspired but feeling modern enough. Good songs. This actually feels like one long song with different parts. Six songs about 40 minutes long.

Pasadena Napalm Division - Pasadena Napalm Division

2013

Retro Cross Over Thrash. D.R.I. whattsssupp! I really liked this kind of stuff when I was a teenager in the 80's. This feels like a novelty act.

Rainbows Are Free - Waves Ahead Of The Ocean

2014

Sleep/Earthless/Kyuss type Blues based rippin' rockin' Stoner.

Mammatus - Heady Mental

2013

Progressive rock that gets a little nutty and gets a little awesome.

Death Angel - The Dream Calls For Blood

2013

I grew up being a huge, huge Death Angel fan. This album however just doesn't do it for me. Believe me I've tried. The super human production for one thing just makes it hard to listen to.
