Arteriosus - Promo Demo

Arteriosus are a progressive doom band from Brighton. I saw them a few weeks back with my mates Here There Be Monsters and the mighty Blackstorm at The Prince Albert and was rather impressed. Normally not too into the buildy post-rockish type doom, but these guys managed to pull it off in a way I rather enjoyed! Tons of feedback and huge guitar and bass sounds, as you would expect from a doom band, and some rather nice melodic elements too. I swapped a demo CD of my band Funeral Hag for theirs and it is rather good. Just noticed you can download it for free, so here it is! Enjoy. I shall be going to see them this evening at The Hope , along with From Beneath It Devours who are also rather good.

Various Artists - Droning Earth Volume 29

The Droning Earth compilations have long been one of my favourite compilations series, collecting the best of stoner, doom, drone and sludge from across the internets and all around the world. I first became aware of them when Droning Earth Volume XIII featured my bandmates' other band Sabazius. There have been another 16 releases since then, all featuring some great material.

Volume 29 features some great stoner and doom bands, and most importantly to me at least, the track Scorched Planet by my band Funeral Hag. So go download it right now! Featuring the following bands:
Unicorpse, Taak, Citadelle, Pater Nembrot, Stroszek, Space Pilgrim, Wo Fat, Pike, Caltrop, Bezoar, Funeral Hag, Space Lizard, Huqqa

Milfist Kadawa - Still Dwellin' After All These Years

Once again, I stumbled across these guys whilst rambling about the internets. I think it was a post on some other band's wall on Myspazz saying to download their album. Anyways, always on the hunt for new free music I decided to check out the link and discovered Milfist Kadawa. They are a psychedelic doom band from Israel, and beyond that I know very little about them. The sound ranges from full on psych doom heaviness to some acoustic stuff that almost reminds me of Down in their quieter moments. However, this is likely to be followed by a massive wall of fuzz or some droning distortion. An album of contrasts, but well worth a listen!

The Shizit - The Shizit

The Shizit are an interesting project, a mix of metal, industrial, gabber, drum & bass, breakbeat and a ton of other genres. They started as a band during the late 90s they put out a few Digital Audio Music CDs through MP3.com, back in the early days of MP3. After enjoying some success on MP3.com they put out one album, Soundtrack For The Revolution (often abreviated to SoFTeR) through Alec Empire's Digital Hardcore Recordings label, and then disbanded due to personal differences.

Now they're back, or at least partially. JP Anderson was half of the original lineup, the man behind Rabbit Junk, and is now the whole band (as with most of his other projects). This new album is very much in the spirit of the original Shizit release, but sounds much heavier than its predecessor - no bad thing if you ask me!

Gama Bomb are fucking awesome! They're a thrash band from Ireland who love to thrash it out in a comedy fashion. They are so awesome that they've decided to give away their latest album for free. I don't really know what else to say about this album than that it's fucking awesome. Seriously. So go download it now, and go see them on tour. They're playing at the Engine Rooms in Brighton, amongst other places of course, on the 10th of November along with local thrashers Crypsis and tickets are only £6.50! So, go see Gama Bomb, download their album and buy their stuff!
