New Drugs Dragons LP finally dropped today and HOLY SHIT!!!

Drugs Dragons

"S/T"

Dusty Medical

2010

Well...It's official!  This is THE grimiest, filthiest(in every sense of the word), purest rock and roll album I've heard in years. Sleazy licks and chords wail out of Tony Sagger's guitar amidst awesome tongue and cheek lyrics bellowing from vocalist, Puke Drugs. It hits you in the fucking throat right from the get go with the track "Carnivore". Elements of Psychedelia start to bleed in as the record moves on creating a unique sonic vibe that a lot of bands lack.  The only way to describe this sound is...Anthemic!  With song titles like... "(I'm In A) Braingrave", "Chuds In Love". and "Drug Vultures" It's a guaranteed party!

Pet Genius | "S/T" LP

Pet Genius

"S/T"

Hydra Head

2007

Since his time in Cave In, Stephen Brodsky has had an active following (and release calender). Their 2003 album Antenna landed a major label (which didn't last long) release and presented a poppier, relatively softer sound that wasn't generally accepted by the long-time fans. This direction was also displayed in his solo project preceding the label jump, and in newer projects New Idea Society and last years short lived Octave Museum. The sunshiny day approach worked well but left many people wondering where the big riff went. Well, Brodsky is back in business with Cave In counterpart Hydra Head, and he's brought some old friends with him. Pet Genius is rounded out by another part Octave Museum on bass and the Doomriders drum demon, officially Johnny Coolbreeze and J.R. John Junior, respectively. They released the unreleased Elvis Demo not too long ago and toured lightly, which left many in quiet anticipation of this self-titled full length. The album opener "Doomsday" shares the dirty reverb and stripped-down song structure that the EP introduced, as Brodsky howls his oh's the whole way through until they stumble into the more peaceful "The Visiting Dynamiter." This pattern repeats itself once more past the would-be hit single "Walls of Etiquette" and "Man of the Mountain," where the simple riffs and steady beats leave me puzzling what Black Sabbath would have sounded like at Woodstock. A curious double take sitting at the center of the album finds Brodsky in release of some salty noodling, and the power half-hour is over after two more bass lines you couldn't chew on enough to soften up.


Pet Genius is Boston's answer to a savvier White Stripes, the kind of noise rock a Beach Boys raised eight-year-old Buzz Osborne dreamt of. It's more of a nuisance pet than a genius, something that keeps outsmarting you despite its lower trophic level, something you can't see hiding under the glass coffee table and behind those fauxhogany rabbit statues you keep by the front door. Not quite as catchy as "Get Out" and not nearly as heavy as "Moral Eclipse," we are looking at a new era that is still unmistakably Brodsky, something that lacks in complexity and originality but redeems itself in execution. Your neighbors won't be confident enough to yell at you for playing it too loudly. -- LG

It's Cave in Week @ the bloody glove this week...

Why Not Kick off Cave In Week with a SUPER HEAVY Hydra Head Classic... 

Zozobra

"Bird of Prey"

Hydra Head

2008

 This is Caleb Scofield's (Cave In, Old Man Gloom) second release under the moniker, Zozobra, entitled "Bird of Prey".  For the sophomore effort Caleb enlisted Isis' Aaron Turner for the recording and mixing,  not only that...Aaron Turner also plays drums on "Bird Of Prey." Zozobra uses doom, psychedelic, sludge and traditional metal to construct songs that are noisy and groovy. The low end rumbles as downtuned guitars deliver ominous riffs.
 Zozobra changes things up, with some songs being reasonably straightforward and others much more progressive and experimental. Layers of instruments build into a cacophony that's crushing without being overwhelming.
 Scofield's vocals range from vicious screams and violent yells reminiscent actually of Stephen Brodsky's vocal style on Cave In's 1998 Classic -- "Until Your Heart Stops", and also one the of the raddest things about this record is that Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Kid Kilowatt, Stephen Brodsky) lends his voice for some of the actual singing parts that are much darker than what you'd here on most of his recent material.  It's the passion and emotion in Caleb's very powerful voice though that makes "Bird Of Prey" the Hydra head classic it is!  It is incredibly well produced, constructed, and when the 30 something minute record comes to a close, just like the end of Floor's "S/T" lp... you wish there were a couple more songs.

More great DOOM... Southern Lord's Earthride latest now up @ thebloodyglove

Earthride

"Something Wicked"

2010

Southern Lord

 Maryland doom has become a hallowed institution within the international heavy music scene. Whether it's the crabs, the crime or the salty sea air, whatever the magic ingredient is that inspires so many sweet riffin' bands to form is alive and well within the hairy chests of Dave Sherman and his merry band of bikers. Earthride are fresh from the studio, with a spankin' new record in hand. 

 With 'Something Wicked,' they more than prove that the proud tradition of Maryland doom will continue on. "I think it's in the water," Sherman told Noisecreep. "And because a lot of the music that comes out of here is inspired by Black Sabbath,Witchfinder General, Pentagram, the Obsessed and Asylum!"

 For the band's fourth release, they decided to eschew the traditional route and instead take matters into their own hands, creating Earth Brain Records. 'Something Wicked' was recorded with Chris Kozlowski (Blue Cheer, Pentagram, Spirit Caravan, Trouble) on old-school A-DATS. 

Sherman explained, "We decided to release the record ourselves, because we didn't want to involve a middleman. We wanted to be more like a fiercely independent Fugazi! We will get all the profits without anybody dipping their hand in the pot. We've been on Southern Lord in the past, which was awesome, but we're trying to handle it ourselves."

 Not only will the record come lovingly packaged from Earthride themselves, but the inside booklet of the CD will include a little something extra for the more morbid (or accident-prone) fans: actual X-rays and MRIs from various injuries sustained by the band's members over the years.

 Sherman divulged their origins, saying, "In a fit of adrenaline, I broke my foot jumping off a stage in Germany while on tour with Earthride while singing the Down song 'Bury Me in Smoke.'      Eric has a bad back and might have to get an operation, so we have his spinal X-rays there. Rob had an infection in his nose and had to have it operation, so that's an MRI of his head. Kyle broke his hand twice. We're a hurting group of individuals."

 It's not too hard to understand why a band that bills themselves as 'biker doom' have gotten knocked around once or twice. -K. Kelley

Drugs Dragons

"S/T"

(2010)

Dusty Medical Records

Rock'n'roll is an elusive beast; only a small percentage of those who attempt to harness it can even come close. Rock isn't about selling out Madison Square Garden, it's about getting a room full of people to believe in what you're doing; to subscribe to your version of the gospel.

The truly amazing thing about Milwaukee, WI's Drugs Dragons is how close they come to distilling the essence of "rock" into a recording. Live, they're intense and unpredictabel. Sweat, blood, and beer appear in equal measure at their shows, and, like all good rock bands, volume is a necessary ingredient. Astoundingly, their new self-titled LP is easily the equal of their live performance, capturing the energy and vitriol of vocalist Puke Drugs' sweaty snarl, as well as guitarist Tony Sagger's chunky chording and the on-the-edge rhythm section of bassist Zorach Dragons and drummer Erroric Mildew.

Drugs Dragons formed in spring 2009 from the remnants of Milwaukee's beloved Night Terrors. Although their stated influences range from early Alice Cooper, the Cramps and the Dead Boys to such modern icons as Clone Defects and the A-Frames, Drugs Dragons have forged their own path among the two million or so bands currently active. They're not interested in climbing the charts; they want to get in your face. And this record will do exactly that.

Boasting song titles like "Carnivore," "Rat People," and "Sunscraper," Drugs Dragons' Dusty Medical Records' debut (following a pair of sold-out 7" releases on their own Terror Trash label) is set to take the band to the next level, whatever that may be. Recorded by fellow Milwaukeean Justin Perkins (who has also worked with Jaill and The Goodnight Loving), Drugs Dragons will no doubt be the soundtrack to many a party, and many a nightmare, for years to come.
