Using doom — a slow, foreboding style of heavy metal — as a template, SWAMI LATEPLATE crafts a set of songs that creeps along powerfully. The themes are simple, generally carried by subdued bass lines and ornamented by the piano like salt on a glacier. What jumps out most is Previte’s drumming. Every cymbal vibration and snare snap leaps to the foreground and, with rare exception, decays before the next strike, as much a testament to Previte’s assured playing as Saft’s engineering. The sound ...

Celestial Season are an interesting band. They formed in the early 90s and produced two classic doom metal albums, before suddenly changing into a stoner rock band. “Solar Lovers” is their second and final doom album before their radical change in style. Their first album, “Forever Scarlet Passion” was a typical doom metal release, in the vein of early My Dying Bride or Anathema: slow, heavy and depressing. “Solar Lovers” differs from that record in two main ways: firstly it ...

The Answer Lies In The Black Void is a collaboration between Martina Horváth (singer for the avant-garde metal project Thy Catafalque) and Jason Köhnen (Celestial Season, Bong-Ra, ex-The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) born out of their shared passion for doom. The debut album, Forlorn is an enveloping exploration of the doom genre and the myriad means of expression within it – journeying from a classic old-school sound to something more contemporary, then expanding further into sludge and industrial terrain, also incorporating elements of Martina’s background in ...

From Roadburn.com where they are scheduled to play in April 2022: Another band slated to appear in 2020, Tau & the Drones of Praise participated in Roadburn Redux back in April, helping to tide us over in yet another year with no physical edition of the festival. Their hypnotic neo‐folk performance featured an appearance from Clannad’s Pól Brennan, and dived headfirst into their back catalogue of psychedelic delights. No‐one could accuse them of phoning it in. We’re thrilled to announce that this acid‐tinged psych troupe will ...

First US compilation for this much beloved, yet often overlooked, UK group capturing highlights from their entire recorded legacy. Emerging from the British 1967 Psychedelic scene, Kaleidoscope released two fine albums (Tangerine Dream, Faintly Blowing) and several non-LP singles with Fontana before switching to Vertigo and evolving into the folksier and more progressive Fairfield Parlour in 1970. This newly remastered collection includes their hit “Bordeaux Rosé” plus key album cuts like “The Sky Children”, “Snapdragon” and the tour-de-phase “Music”. Also included is an early demo from ...
