Hammerdrone - Band Logo - Large - B&W

Canadian Metal is represented with potent muscle from HAMMERDRONE and their Blackened EP: Demon Rising. Crunchy, melodic and searing guitars (Rick Cardellini, Curtis Beardy) to melt your eardrums into Metal ecstasy; all the while the vocals of Graham Harris will blanket your surroundings into a melancholy zone of Blackened welcoming acceptance.

Powerful drumming from Vinnie Cardellini provides the quaking and skull splitting ambience, with Steve Greenough administering hellish beats that shall kick the living shit out of your senses. Fabulous songs are all four; with a perfect combination of melodic and extreme to satiate a wide audience of Metal fans.

HAMMERDRONE are as legit as your favorite ale at your favorite watering hole; and this Metal band helps give the underground of Metal its grand reputation it so deserves.  Get your Metal senses scalded by HAMMERDRONE and remember the day I told you to do so. HAMMERDRONE deserves a record deal, from a Metal label we all know and respect. I absolutely cannot wait for HAMMERDRONE’s debut album! Metal be thy name.

Band To Headline Slaughterfest VI In Sydney

___________________________

A band who continually embarks on tours across the globe, France’s avant sludge coven MONARCH will head to the Australian continent for the fourth time in the coming weeks.

From July 18th through 21st MONARCH will dredge the Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth metropolises laying down an oppressive and ethereal wall of noise-filled opening support for Doom legends Saint Vitus. Just days later, on July 27th the quartet will return to Sydney to headline Slaughterfest VI with over thirteen other underground acts on the decimating bill.

MONARCH Australian Tour:

7/18/2013 The Hi Fi – Brisbane w/ Saint Vitus

7/21/2013 The Rosemount – Perth w/ Saint Vitus

7/27/2013 Spectrum – Sydney @ Slaughterfest VI [info]

A thirty-four minute down-tempo/down-tuned funeral dirge comprised of three tracks,MONARCH’s sixth full-length Omens was released via At A Loss Recordings in February 2012, surging with the band’s caustic, trademark style of slow-motion apocalyptic doom, writhing with haunting moans and layered, ghostly shrieks.

Stay tuned for more updates on MONARCH and At A Loss Recordings in the coming days.

As reported on The Winery Dogs Facebook Page:

From MP: I need to correct a huge misconception about The Winery Dogs that I keep seeing floating around the internet… this band was ONLY EVER myself, Richie & Billy!

John Sykes was NEVER a part of this band! Myself & Billy were previously working w John on an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PROJECT (consisting of all strictly John’s material).

When that didn’t pan out, Billy & I began working FROM SCRATCH with Richie (with all 3 of us collaborating together) on an entirely new band…and THAT is when The Winery Dogs were born. It is important that people understand this!!

OK, carry on….thanks! : )

HELLBASTARD “Sons Of Bitches” EP – Is Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Hellbastard - Sons Of Bitches - promo cover pic

HELLBASTARD – With a mix of Metal that features even a Reggae song (Throw The Petrol Bomb) to conclude this new Sons Of Bitches EP from the legendary HELLBASTARD, the bottom Metal line goes like this:

HELLBASTARD – Sons Of Bitches EP is Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Thrash Metal fans will have no problem feeding Sons Of Bitches into their brains, while Hardcore fans shall appreciate the pissed-off attitude and lyrics that HELLBASTARD administers. Spanning across four decades, the UK’s HELLBASTARD have created, influenced and performed Crust Punk and Thrash; and are an obvious MUST to add to ANY Metalhead’s Metal collection.

Old School and not succumbing to any Metal modernistic trends, HELLBASTARD have once again returned with new material worthy of shouting about across the continents and/or slamming down a 6-pack of ale to. Metal be thy name.

Wolfsong

BLACKOUT – New York Psychedelic Doom Trio Unleashes Three-Track Sampler

Posted in doom metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on June 26, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Blackout - We Are Here - 3 song sampler - promo coverBand To Level Brooklyn’s Acheron This Saturday

_____________________________________

With food, beer and America at the forefront, it only makes sense guitar player/vocalist Christian Gordy and drummer Taryn Waldman would meet at Gordy’s 2011 July 4th cookout in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Waldman, a former Hooter’s waitress turned big time commercial film editor, and Gordy, a one-legged bartender/artist/BBQ enthusiast were an oddball couple for NY’s heavily styled Metal scene. The duo began rapidly banging out monolithic snail-paced riffs that could party as much as they could crush. BLACKOUT — referring to blackout drunk, the absence of light, or a mobster hit on an entire family — was the only appropriate title for the band.

With a three-song demo recorded at the now defunct Headgear Studios in the bag, Waldman set out on the task of stalking and acquiring drum wizard Justin Sherrel for the bass position. The sound filled out and quickly grew like Chuck Berry’s mustache. Now with Sherrel’s nitty-gritty, rhythm-heavy mud beneath an electrical tide of riffs and explosions, the mighty river of sludge was primed to lurch forward.

Blackout - promo band pic - 2013 - #44

In November 2012 BLACKOUT recorded their debut LP, We Are Here, at Vacation Island studio with engineer/producer Rob Laakso (Diamond Nights, Swirlies, Kurt Vile). It’s a six-song relentless banger from beginning to end:  no interludes or acoustic wankery. Fittingly described as “thick, riff-led heavy psych that blends Sleep‘s stoner heyday and classic Melvins stomp with a touch of Rob Crow‘s vocal compression in Goblin Cock,” by The Obelisk in a recent live review, the band is ready for a full-fledged takeover. BLACKOUT will soon be knocking on your door like a hairy, black clad Jehovah’s Witness who wants to smoke you out and listen to Sabbath records.

Until then, rape your speakers with the band’s foundation-crumbling behemoth of a three-track album sampler, currently streaming at their official BandCamp page at THIS LOCATION.

In related news, the trio will be bringing their bottom-heavy audio pillage to the stage this Saturday, June 29, 2013 at Acheron in their hometown of Brooklyn. The FREE daytime party features barbeque from Slam Pigs and Perry Ave. BBQ, additional appearances by Skullshitter, Hector’s Pets, Zoned Out and Cold Ones and DJs spinning rock into the night!

NIGHT DEMON – S/T EP Is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

NIGHT DEMON – They’re from California. They’re old school. They’re Metal. They’re called Night Demon. The prolific Metal label known as Shadow Kingdom Records will be releasing Night Demon’s S/T EP on August 6th; best you pick up this Metal offering from Night Demon cause it’s invitingly raw, loud, and legit True Metal through and through!

From riffage on The Chalice that’s reminiscent of the legendary Scorpions classic cut The Zoo, to an underground Metal atmosphere of yesteryear throughout, Night Demon delivers the Metal goods! It’s honestly unfortunate that this is an EP and not an album of 12 songs. Stone wants more Night Demon! Now! Whoa.

Ritual reminds me that old school Speed Metal is back and the Traditional Heavy Metal spirit, musicianship, vocals and songwriting of Night Demon cannot be overlooked; not by any of my fellow Metal brethren anyways. Fans of old school Metal, NWOBHM, (early) Iron Maiden, (early) Saxon, Witch Cross, Satan, Obsession, Angel Witch, Sinister Realm and of course, Raven, are all in for a remarkable Metal surprise with Night Demon. This trio of talented Metalheads surprised the hell out of me! Metal be thy name.

Watch, listen and turn the volume up to NIGHT DEMON below! Whoa!

NIGHT DEMON – Track Listing:

The Chalice

Ancient Evil
