6).
Snail – “Feral” (597)
As
far as tone and mood are concerned, “Feral” is far from untamed. To the touch,
these eight cuts are smooth, the production doing what it needs to do to keep
this beast domesticated. At the end of the day, though, this beast is hard to
ignore, which is the justification for the album’s name.
5).
Colour Haze – “To The Highest Gods We Know” (879)
Whether
the band is up on stage nonchalantly kicking ass or their records are spinning
on a turntable, Colour Haze is one of few bands that has consistently produced
music of quality and integrity. “To The Highest Gods We Know” is no different.
Though this album may not fully exemplify the band due to its
short running time, it is an album that will stand proudly as the latest
addition to the Colour Haze discography.
4).
Weedpecker – “II” (913)
Weedpecker
have created a sonic experience that demands your full attention as this is one
of the most powerful Stoner Metal albums you'll hear all year. II is a
contender for one of the albums of the year. Brilliant.
3).
Sacri Monti – “Sacri Monti” (1091)
Sacri Monti's debut album is one that surprised me in a big way.
Yeah it did take around 4 to 5 listens to fully appreciate the whole
experience. So expect to take your time with this album. All in all Sacri Monti
have created a stunning debut album.
2).
My Sleeping Karma– “Moksha” (1421)
What
can I say? My SLeeping Karma are one of those rare bands who follows their own
path 100% and that's called freedom and liberation. Add excellent instrument
skills to this and you have 'Moksha'. Rarely will you find a band
or an album this good. We all make our own decisions but I urge you to seek out
this band and follow in their foot steps. Your life will be so much better for
it!
1).
Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats – “Night
Creeper” (1737)
If
the record will be met by their adoring fan base with the same hype and
admiration 2011’s insatiable ‘Blood Lust’ was, or be deemed as an adequate
successor to the robustness of ‘Mind Control,’ only time will tell. What we do
know, however, is that it’s another impressive release from this consistently
unique and enrapturing Cambridge quartet.
