"This album is a collaborative effort and the sum of its parts. The basic riffs and song structures were done by myself and Gary Arce, but the contributions from Tony Reed, Lisa Alley, Ian Graham, Mario Lalli, Nick Oliveri, Bill Stinson, Per Wiberg and Alain Johannes make this record what it is.
There was never a discussion of what kind of music we wanted to make.
But if I had to describe it there are elements of Soundgarden, Pink Floyd, Yawning Man and Fu Manchu."
Bob Balch of Fu Manchu

"Back in December of 2010, I went into a house in Joshua Tree California to record another solo record. About 4 days into the sessions, I decided to abandon the 8 songs I was working on, told my long time friend and engineer, Tony Mason, to start rolling tape and I proceeded to play drums in my natural improv style. After multiple drum track performances were captured, I then started layering guitars, bass and percussion in the same improvisational spirit. I essentially decided to "jam" by myself for the rest of my scheduled sessions. I decided to call the collective tracks, Jacoozzi. At the time, it reminded me of the feeling of my first solo recording sessions for my first solo release, Jalamanta.... only more "free". "

Zolfo - Delusion Of Negation
6-panel Digipak CD
Italy’s underworld is a somewhat fervent environment lately and the Apulian Sludge/Doom-mongers Zolfo has rightfully earned a place in such realm.
Their debut work ‘Delusion Of Negation’ evokes a smoking creature that will utterly please fans of Iron Monkey, Ufomammut and Bongzilla alike.
Huge riffs and loud amps proceed hand in hand with the slow-paced yet unmerciful drumming while the vocal delivery is harsh as hell, non-human at times.

Mastered at Skyhammer Studio (UK) by Chris Fielding
Cover artwork by Inchiostro Lisergico

PENTAGRAM's fourth studio album "Review Your Choices" marked the band's sixth comeback after several changes of line-up and label.
Main-man and singer Bobby Liebling has kept his band alive for over 35 years now and might easily be awarded the title of "longest serving cult band" – highly acclaimed by fans, press and fellow musicians alike.
"Review Your Choices" marked the return of multi-instrumentalist Joe Hasselvander to join Bobby Liebling in his eternal quest of creating the heaviest sound possible. The album features a mix of re-recorded lost Liebling tracks from the 70's and stellar new numbers penned by Hasselvander, which gave "Review Your Choices" an extra heavy feeling.
Dive down deep into gloom and despair with this classic Doom recording.
NOMAD is a high quality Polish Death Metal formed by members of BEHEMOTH, VESANIA and DEVILYN. In spite NOMAD has obvious parallelisms with others of their country mates they achieved to polish their songs into a more interesting dynamic on its complex structure decorated from insane brutal tight blast beating slay driven riffs to the accurate melodic and neck breaking segments. Something important to be noticed it is the skill they have to provide almost every song an identity on its own yet conceptualizing the album as a whole. Not too many bands have that ability today..
CD comes with slipcase and contains a bonus track.

One of the most morbid and bloodiest death metal bands from Germany crawls out of his tomb and after 1.5 years of abstinence comes back with a almost half-hour new mini album.
The title of this new masterpiece is 'ABATTOIR'. And that's exactly what the songs on the album sound like: bloody, creeping, aggressive and murderously tight.
SLAUGHTERDAY presents 4 brand new songs, which show a clear development of the band, without losing their style and their own character. In addition, there are 2 cover versions, one song from the masters of Doom Metal TROUBLE and another track from the early years of finnish AMORPHIS.
