The Almighty SNAIL now playing...

Snail

"Terminus"

Self-Released

2012

Snail reunited in 2008 after 15 years of slumber, added long-time friend and guitarist Eric Clausen, and unleashed “Blood” (Meteor City)—what many said was one of the Top Ten stoner/doom records of 2009. Not merely riff-rock, “Blood” combined fuzzy guitars and a pummeling rhythm section with layered, soaring melodies rarely heard in the genre. In a time of industry turmoil, the record went from blood-red to “in the black.” The record even attracted the attention of underground music legend Henry Rollins, getting multiple plays on his “Fanatics” radio show on influential Los Angeles station KCRW."

I have been a fan of SNAIL for a number of years and they are back with their best album to date - TERMINUS.

Terminus is a 10 song collection featuring some of the best psych/doom/stoner metal riffs of 2012. This album is getting a lot of praise from various blogs and websites and its not hard to see why.

It simply is a brilliant must have collection of standout tracks that any great Stoner Metal band would be proud to call their own.

These guys are like a more trippier psych version of ShrineBuilder. So if your into that great band then check out these awesome Stoner Metallers.

Their new album is available on BandCamp Pay Anything You Want Type Deal. So headover now and download your copy now. If your feeling generous then please make a small donation to this great band.

Believe me this album's free download status will be gone in no time.

The album is brilliantly produced and is one of the freshest sound album I have heard this year. All of the songs are brilliant examples of top-notch Stoner Metal that will have you coming back for more.

Especially tracks like "Recursion", "Matchbook" and "Burn the Flesh".

Fucking Awesome - Just download it now. You need this album in your life. It's seriously that great.

Part Chimp | "THRILLER"

"Thriller"

Rock Action

2009

Thriller feels absolutely huge. It sounds like it was recorded in a wind tunnel full of amp stacks, so full and immersive is the sound. Album highlight ‘Dirty Sun’ rumbles, screeches and crashes like an oncoming thunderstorm, anthemic vocals straining against the wind and the rain of guitar and battered percusion. Opener ‘Trad’ is detuned desert rock, powered by new recruit Tracy Bellarie’s (ex-Ikara Colt) furiously overdriven bass. The filthy raucousness of ‘Sweet T’ shows how fuzz and distortion should be used: as a system overload, the music straining to escape the confines of the speakers or headphones.

That sense of humour exhibited on record title and case manifests itself musically as an absurdist sense of bombast, with nine minute album closer ‘Starpiss’ leering and lurching between full throttle fuzz pedal to the metal and detuned fret mangling. This isn’t Muse we’re talking about, however, and whilst the tapped solos might raise a grin, there’s never the feeling that the record has descended into the histrionic.

I don’t think I’ve managed to capture just how enjoyable and driving the music contained onThriller is. Maybe it’s because the hooks are so gigantic, or the execution is so taut, but there’s something indefinably special about this record. It deserves to be played again and again, and not just as proof that Hydrahead and their US associates don’t hold the monopoly on breakneck rock music. Part Chimp they might be, but Thriller is one hundred percent prime rock and roll, that stands head and shoulders above the other knuckle dragging apes.

Fatso Jetson's "Archaic Volumes" slip into the glove...

Fatso Jetson

"Archaic Volumes"

2010

Cobraside

No doubt it’s with a characteristic tongue in his cheek that Fatso Jetsonguitarist/vocalist Mario Lalli sings “These archaic volumes won’t ever really be heard” on the title track of the band’s sixth full-length, Archaic Volumes(Cobraside Distribution), but there’s something about the use of the word “really” that sets the line up for multiple levels of interpretation. The “volume” pun is one thing, but the line also seems to be saying those of us hearing the album aren’t really hearing it. There’s more behind the music and words than a surface listen can reveal. This is, as repeat visits to Archaic Volumesreveal, the complete and utter truth.

Fatso Jetson’s first studio album in eight years’ time since the release ofCruel & Delicious — there was the vinyl-only Fatso Jetson Live in 2007 – is rife with complexity, whether it comes in the tight, careful riffing of the infectiously catchy, harmonica-laden opener “Jet Black Boogie” or the casual surf influence topped off by Vince Meghrouni’s saxophone on “Back Road Tar.” Fatso Jetson has always been a complex band, meshing the members’ love of early ‘80s SoCal hardcore punk (read: Black Flag) with the more open tones consistent with the desert they call home, but the maturity on display with Archaic Volumes goes beyond genre meshing into individual expression, as the lyric-heavy near-psychedelia the band manages to fit into closer “Monoxide Dreams” would confirm.

And then there’s a completely different level on which to experience the album. The alliterative rhythm section of drummer Tony Tornay and bassistLarry Lalli are flat out astounding on “Golden Age of Cell Block Slang,” working the kind of swing into the song that Chris Goss’ Masters of Realitywas reaching for on Pine/Cross Dover and fell comparatively short of. They work equally well in the straight desert push of second track “Play Dead” and the cover of The Cramps’ “Garbage Man,” which Mario’s vocals turn into an anthem and mission statement for the band at this stage in their career. While I’m pointing out highlight tracks, the pulsating crunch of instrumental “Here Lies Boomer’s Panic” finds all of Fatso Jetson firing on all cylinders,Meghrouni belting out jabbing sax notes in line with both Lallis and Tornayand still managing somehow to stand out in the mix.

Blood or Love. The almighty soul of DAX RIGGS...

DAX RIGGS

"We Sing of Only Blood or Love"

Fat Possum

2007

We Sing of Only Blood or Love, is Dax Riggs' first album under his given name, sounds much like his work with his previous project Deadboy and The Elephant Men and with has a rad Misfits/Samhain vibe going at times.  Sonically this record is pretty tame. From punk rock anthems such as "Wall of Death" to, in my honest opinion the best track on the LP, the almost dance worthy song entitled "Ghost Movement".  The man just has too much soul.  Period.  Not that Acid Bath wasn't an amazing metal/sludge band.  Dax Riggs has an incredibly unique way of getting the blues across and does he ever.  He's seen his fair share.  Welcome to Dax Riggs' nightmare party!

Here's a taste....of "Ghost Movement"
