Weed Metal. One man band project that's doomy.

Blue Oyster Cult -

1983

Yeah, this album is really in that Toto, Asia, Phil Collins 80's wimp area. B.O.C. has always straddled the line. Sometimes it works out like Fire of Unknown Origins, but it's a fine line and it tipped the wrong way on this album. This album doesn't even suck.

2018

Killer Sludge.

2018

Big heavy rocking along the lines of Sleep. I like this one. Just three songs. Looking forward to more.

Spacerock. Duh.

Rough Spells - Modern Kicks for the Solitary Witch

Vocals similar to Ann Wilson singing for a darker rock band. Catchy stuff.

2018

Occult rock. Similar to Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats.

Murdered By A Woman - Murdered By A Woman

2018

Ethereal vocals experimental doom. Pretty cool ep.

Maggot Heart - Dusk to Dusk

Luger - Hellraisers of the Wasteland

2018

The album starts out speedy NWOBHM style, but turns into heavy stoner metal, and sleazy bluesy metal and eventually returns to evil Thrash metal. Cool album.

Extreme sludgy speedy angry rockin! Angry two songs.

Kingnomad - The Great Nothing

2018

The Great Nothing is the second album from Sweden’s Kingnomad. A 42 minute trip from the inner workings of your mind to the outer reaches of the universe. Opening with some Beach Boys-esque harmonies the tone is set for your upcoming flight. A journey of emotions, cautiousness, enthusiasm…you’re constantly propelled forward through space and time. There’s also foreboding and mystery. The vocals are soothing and always comforting. You never have to worry Kingnomad is always in control. Sweet production that serves the music perfectly. Progressive rocking that is a pleasure to listen to and never a chore. There’s Jazzy rock elements that are soothing and dreamy, you just along with. Kick back in the back and let Kingnomad do the interstellar driving.
