Avalanche On Play Volumes 1 and 2


Avalanche On Play is a tribute to the music of Justin K Broadrick (of Godflesh, Jesu, Curse Of The Golden Vampire, Greymachine and many, many other projects). Unlike most tribute albums, this one features entirely new songs as opposed to covers of songs Broadrick has worked on. The music from the compilation is entirely provided by the users of the avalanchers.co.uk forum. Some users were discussing how much Broadrick had influenced their music, and decided to put together a tribute compilation. Obviously this project found massive support in the forums as they ended up releasing two volumes at once with a total running time of 2 hours 11 minutes!

The music itself is somewhat varied, as one might expect given Broadrick's varied output over the years. Songs range from Jesu-like shoegazing misery to more relentless Godflesh style bleak industrial pounding. I've rather enjoyed all of it, so hopefully you will too!

Huata - Open The Gates Of Shambhala


Huata are a stoner doom band from France. Riffs as big and fuzzy as Electric Wizard, but a little more lethargic (if that's even possible) and growlier, more Ramesses like vocals. This EP is their second release and features five tracks, with a running time of 34:18. Well worth a listen!
