The Review:

 

2016 has been a tough year for music fans. We've lost too many great musicians and we've seen the end of some truly great bands this year. But-- the Doom genre is still thriving, great music keeps coming out and The Order of Israfel have again delivered us a killer album to keep us going!

 

Titled "Red Robes," their sophomore album is a crushing slab of classic doom. Twin guitar harmonies permeate the arrangements; slow, lumbering beats intermingle with high-energy, uptempo passages; stark vocals deliver creep out lyrics; all in support of their almighty neck breaking riffs.

 

Aside from the great song writing, excellent musicianship, and fresh riffs, what really stands out on this album is the production. The guitars are fuzzy yet articulate, the drums sound like you're sitting in the front row at an intimate venue, and the bass is low and growling. The vocals are stark and sound virtually unaffected. The brutally spartan vocal sound is the perfect match for singer Tom Sutton's unapologetic style. He's not here to show off vocal chops or wow you with vocal gymnastics, his style is more subtle than that, drawing you into a bleak world of doom and destruction, monsters and chaos, not unlike the early Hammer Horror films of the 1960's and 70's. Love it or hate it, he's putting himself out there and not hiding behind any studio magic.

 

Another standout is the wide range of energy and tempo on this record. The songs take their time, building from slower, crushing tempos to upbeat, high energy rock passages in a way that catches you off guard and punches you in the face.

 

I can predict some listeners scratching their heads about the acoustic ballad, "Fallen Children." At first listen, I did, but as I've spun the album a few more times this track has grown on me and it offers a brief break from the riffs before dragging you back in with the upbeat track, "A Shadow in the Hills."

 

With little exception, the songs on "Red Robes" are long. Final track "The Thirst," clocks in at nearly 16 minutes, but these songs need to be long. The band masterfully navigates from passage to passage in a way that, similar to progressive rock, takes the listener along for the ride.

Arcana 13 - "Danza Macabra" (Album Review)

By: Doza Hawes

Album Type: Full Length

Date Released: 11/03/2016

Label: Aural Music

This album is all about the groove, mixing swampy simplicity with killer vocal hooks. The production is modern and clear, but without sounding overproduced. The guitars are nicely fuzzed out, the bass is growling, and the drums sound crisp and natural.  Creepy keyboards and psychedelic sound effects weave in the background, tying the album together and never letting you forget that these are songs inspired by one thing:  horror.  Overall I would go so far as to say “Danza Macabra” is a contender for the Sludgelord list of top Doom releases of 2016

“Danza Macabra” CD//DD//LP track listing:

1. Dread Ritual

2. Arcane XIII

3. Land of Revenge

4. Oblivion Mushroom

5. Intermezzo (Bonus track for limited vinyl)

6. Suspiria (Goblin cover)

7. Blackmaster

8. The Holy Cult of Suicide

9. Hell Behind You

The Review:

When I heard about a new band from Italy that were inspired by classic Horror films and featured a Goblin cover on their debut album, I expected to hear creepy, all-instrumental progressive rock with insane technical wizardry, influenced by bands like classic Yes and King Crimson. I was wrong. Dead wrong. Instead, I got what could be a contender for the Sludgelord list of top Doom releases of 2016. Instead of proggy technical instrumentation, Arcana 13 delivers crushing riffs. Instead of the mind-bending arrangements and bizarre time signatures that we usually get with prog rock, Arcana 13 keeps it simple and brings us a classic Occult Doom album that is masterfully put together.

Titled “Danza Macabra”, the album is inspired by legendary horror classics by Dario Argento and Mario Bava (among others), such as “Inferno”, “Suspiria”, and “Mask of Satan”. Sealing the deal, they enlisted classic horror poster artist Enzo Sciotti to paint the album cover, of which he commented, “This is my masterpiece…perhaps the best horror ever!” It is truly a beautiful album cover.

What is interesting about this album is that, while paying tribute to the classic Doom masters such as Sabbath and Pentagram, the band have clearly been doing their homework and staying in touch with what is current in the Doom scene. I hear tributes to bands like Ghost, Sleep, Witchcraft, and Church of Misery, but without sounding like overt plagiarism, more like love and respect for these great bands. The vocals are clean with some fantastic harmonies; the only screaming you’ll hear is from the various horror movie samples that meander throughout the songs. The production is modern and clear, but without sounding overproduced. The guitars are nicely fuzzed out, the bass is growling, and the drums sound crisp and natural.  Creepy keyboards and psychedelic sound effects weave in the background, tying the album together and never letting you forget that these are songs inspired by one thing:  horror.

Their cover of Goblin’s Suspiria theme is a super cool rendition, taking the song in a groovy hard rock direction that is sure to make your head nod. If you’re looking for insane double bass blasts or technical guitar shred, you won’t get that here. This album is all about the groove, mixing swampy simplicity with killer vocal hooks. “Danza Macabra” is a great rock album, a great Doom album, and its infused with the band’s clear love for classic horror. Give Arcana 13 a listen and turn it way up. You might want to pick up one of their limited edition red blood spatter vinyls, if they haven’t already sold them all!

Hexvessel - "When We Are Death" (Album Review)

By: Doza Hawes

Album Type: Full Length

Date Released: 29/01/2016

Label: Century Media Records

All in all, the album marks a stark departure from the band's previous offerings, stripping away the atmospheric, acoustic folk instrumentation and eerie choir vocals for a mainly electric guitar-centred rock and surf sensibility.  I definitely recommend giving this album a chance, see what happens when traditional forest dwellers put down their folk instruments, pick up an electric guitar, take some acid, and head to the beach.

“When We Are Death” CD//DD//LP track listing:

1. Transparent Eyeball

2. Earth Over Us

3. Cosmic Truth

4. When I’m Dead

5. Mirror Boy

6. Drugged Up On The Universe

7. Teeth Of The Mountain

8. Green Gold

9. Mushroom Spirit Doors

10. Hunter’s Prayer

11. Last Lovers In Hell (bonus track)

The Review:

After years of summoning spirits in the forests of Scandanavia, Hexvessel needed a vacation-- so they went to the beach, or so their latest album implies.

I first discovered Hexvessel whilst browsing the line-up of the legendary Roadburn Festival back in 2012. Described as "enigmatic, spirit-trafficking, Finnish forest-psych weirdos," I had to give them a listen based solely on their description. The music of Hexvessel, which spans 3 albums and a 2-song 7", began as primarily acoustic, atmospheric, and trance-inducing.  Their eerie, captivating sound has held my attention ever since, as I revisit their catalogue quite frequently.

In 2013 they released “Iron Marsh”, which took a slightly new direction, adding electric guitar and some rock elements to their sound, but primarily kept the ethereal quality of their earlier records.

The latest album from Hexvessel, “When We Are Death”, continues the altered trajectory set in their previous record, and goes much further in its electric instrumentation, revealing a band experimenting with new sounds and musical avenues (for them at least), primarily into the realm of surf rock, psychedelia, and alternative pop. The album, as a whole, is much more diverse than their previous offerings, which might be a bit jarring to listeners expecting the transcendent forest spirituality of their previous albums. If you can abandon any expectations you might have, based on their previous recordings, you might be able to get into "When We Are Death."

The opening tracks, “Transparent Eyeball”and “Earth Over Us”, immediately let the listener know that the band is taking a new direction. Centred around the electric guitar, these tightly-constructed psychedelic surf rock songs are upbeat and a far departure from the spirit realm of the forest. Track 3, “Cosmic Truth”, brings us back to the band's acoustic roots, and is a shining gem on this album. Lyrically, it's captivating, and the lilting vocal melodies combine with a melancholy piano drone to create a truly beautifully crafted song. “When I'm Dead” returns to the upbeat psychedelic/surf formula, with an interesting electric slide guitar meandering throughout, and a prog rock-inspired ending. “Mirror Boy” is a minimalist, soothing and stripped down tune, reminiscent of earlier records. “Drugged up on the Universe” sees the band venturing into a harder, yet spacey, perhaps Hawkwind-inspired bad acid trip. “Teeth of the Mountain” is a finely-crafted psychedelic rock song, with a beautiful mellotron overlay.

“Green Gold” continues along the same lines, finding a nice middle ground between the acoustic and electric realms that this album inhabits. “Mushroom Spirit Doors” gives us one last upbeat tune before the album seems to leave the beach and return home to the forest and close the album with the haunting melodies of “Hunter's Prayer”.

All in all, the album marks a stark departure from the band's previous offerings, stripping away the atmospheric, acoustic folk instrumentation and eerie choir vocals for a mainly electric guitar-centred rock and surf sensibility.  I definitely recommend giving this album a chance, see what happens when traditional forest dwellers put down their folk instruments, pick up an electric guitar, take some acid, and head to the beach.

Interview: "Colossus: a Decade of Demented Debauchery"

By: Erik Sugg

As most lovers of heavy are quick to tell you, there is nothing like a band who knows when to stop dicking around and when to cut to the chase to deliver the goods. We have a near-unlimited supply of heavy metal in this day and age, but it is a rare to find bands who give you that fine balance of energy, power, and a shameless love for all things fantastical, while also maintaining a sense of precision, fun, and general badassery. Some lay it down slow and low, others pack a hard, fast punch with speedy riffs, galloping rhythms and lightning leads. North Carolina’s Colossus are certainly the latter. After a solid hard-partying decade of slaying stages alongside groups like Slough Feg, Skeleton Witch andValient Thorr, Colossus is currently celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a new video, titled “YOU DIED.” I caught up with the band’s vocalist, Sean Buchanan, and their drummer, Milton “Doza” Hawes, to discuss the good times they’ve had as a band, and their hilariously demented video, (which features possibly the best deathride through hell ever imagined.)

Sludgelord: So Colossus has been going strong for 10 years now. Congratulations! Most bands don't even make it for half of that. What's kept you all together for so long?

Sean: Honestly we just really enjoy what we do and our fans have always been super supportive of it. We also all get along really well, the days of band fights are long behind us.

Doza: I think it comes down to the fact that we have a shitload of fun together. Our music is in the spirit of fun, which is really an extension of the fun we have together as people, and those good vibes naturally branch out to our fans. We love hanging out and bullshitting, riding around between cities in the van, recording in the studio-- it's always a killer time and none of us want it to stop!

Sludgelord: Your new video is a rocking tune, is really well made, and is damn funny. Humor seems to be a big part of what Colossus is all about. What would you say is the most hilarious memory for you guys as a band?

Sean: Man, there are so so many. Not sure how many would translate but I do remember one time we went to a party after a show and nobody there had actually been to our show. When they realized we didn’t know anybody there they kicked us out. Our previous drummer Ben Smith decided to take off his shirt outside and then wander around inside pretending to look for it while we all watched through a big plate glass window. Then when he came back out the guy who lived there followed him and was like, “Oh you guys are friends with Shirtless Dude? Come on inside!” That was pretty damn funny.

Doza: Humor definitely is a big part of what we do, not that we make joke songs per se, but we have a damn good time and are one of the few metal bands that smiles onstage. There are so many ridiculous memories, it's hard to pick one, but the Colossus Challenge always brings out some hilarious moments. It works like this: If someone can beat each band member at a test, either physical or mental, they win a prize. We had a literal giant challenge us recently, a very drunk 7 plus foot tall metalhead with long hair and a sweet GWAR tattoo. He had to beat Ry, our bass player in a beer chugging contest. He lost. And then projectile vomited. All over me. I got puked on by a giant?! Yes I did. It really happened.

Sludgelord: The people of Raleigh definitely love to party with Colossus. Since you guys are an active touring band, what other cities would you say people have really gotten into you guys?

Sean: We have a ton of awesome friends all over but I think some of the largest concentrations of fans are in Detroit, Columbus, Athens, Wilmington, Austin to name a few. Our buddies in all those places always hook us up with fun shows and crazy times.

Doza: Wilmington NC is incredible. So many great bands and music lovers down there that really support us. Same for Athens GA, amazing town and people. New York has been most welcoming of Colossus. Columbus Ohio is always a blast. Detroit Michigan is home to our kindred spirits, the Beggars. We try to tour at least once a year with those awesome dudes. They aren't necessarily a metal band, but they completely rule and our shows mesh perfectly.

Sludgelord: Maiden seems to be an obvious influence for Colossus. What other bands have inspired you?

Sean: I heard the Lord Weird Slough Feg’s (Now simply  know as Slough Feg) Atavism on a trip out to California shortly before the band formed and later realized how much it had inspired me. Always been heavily influenced by Rob Halford’s golden pipes, and although I can’t sing like him I’ve always respected Dio’s lyrical skills.

Doza: As a drummer, I'm super into Cozy Powell, especially his work with Rainbow. Vinny Appice, either with Sabbath or Dio, is probably my greatest influence. He has incredible feel and the way he throws firework barrage drum fills into a song is just perfection. Before I do anything with Colossus, I always check out Scott Travis. His modern interpretations of older Priest songs are so on point for me.

Sludgelord: Doza, you also played briefly with the doom legends, Hour of 13, and also toured and recorded with Bloody Hammers. Both killer bands, but both very stylistically different from Colossus. From a musician's standpoint, do you feel it benefits you to try different things?

Doza: Thanks for the kind words about Hour of 13 and Bloody Hammers, much appreciated. It has been an honor to play with each of those bands. I have gotten to play some amazing shows with both of them, the 2014 European tour that Bill (guitarist of Colossus) and I did with Bloody Hammers was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I learned a ton about touring and playing huge shows. Download festival was amazing. Musically, it's definitely made me a better musician to branch out and play with different bands. Colossus is 110%, full blast the entire time, whereas the other bands I have played with have been on the doomier side of the spectrum, with slower tempos and more air in the songs. I love both!

Sludgelord: Colossus has played with many great bands throughout the years. You recently played an after party for Mastodon, Graveyard, and Clutch, and have an upcoming gig with Nashville Pussy. Who are some your favorite bands that you've played with?

Sean: The big shows are a blast but most of my favorite memories are of bands that are fun to tour with like The Beggars, Thunderlip and recently Sunshine State.

Doza: We've played with so many killer bands!! Valient Thorr - Those dudes put on a hell of a show and they're super awesome people as well. Slough Feg -This show happened before I joined the band and I hope to get to play with them some day, they're a huge influence on Colossus! He is Legend - We played with them at the Soapbox in Wilmington and there was a line around the block to get in. Sold out show! Also: The Beggars from Detroit, Savagist from GA, White Tiger and the Bed of Roses, Salvacion, Thunderlip, and the rest of the Wilmington, NC scene. Demon Eye, Solar Halos, Caltrop, and the amazing Raleigh/Triangle NC Metal scene. Despite all the challenges of this day and age for musicians, great music is still happening and we're proud to get to play with these killer bands.

Sludgelord: One thing I love about you guys is your shameless love for fantasy and sci-fi. Your songs reference everything from Conan to Dune to the Song of Ice and Fire. As kids who grew up during the '80s, the time when a major fantasy/sci-fi boom was happening, was there a particular film or book that has truly resonated with you? What would you say is your all-time favorite and why?

Sean: I have yet to write a song about it because the final book hasn’t come out yet but I can’t wait to read The Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss and then write a song about The Kingkiller Chronicles. It’s some bad ass fantasy, I highly recommend it. And he’s not a billion years old so hopefully he’ll actually put out the last book! Also reading the Wheel of Time and pretty excited about doing a song or two from there.

Doza: For movies, it was Conan the Barbarian. That is still one of my favorite movies of all time. It's perfect. Next would be the animated Tolkien movies. Those blew my mind as a kid, as did the Last Unicorn. I have posters of Krull, Ice Pirates, and Solarbabies in my practice room. I was an avid reader as a kid, and CS Lewis really spoke to me. I read all the Narnia books, 7 I think? And his Space Trilogy is really fun, I've read that over and over. I love older Sci Fi that was written before the scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century. What they imagined back then was so much cooler than what actually happened. Currently, I'm reading Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, by Fritz Leiber. These books are hilarious barbarian adventure stories and have influenced several Colossus songs.

Sludgelord: So what's next for Colossus?

Sean: We are planning to film a live concert DVD for the bands 10^th anniversary this fall so fans who have never seen Colossus can experience the live show. We’ll be bringing back some past band members to perform, should be a fun time. And we also are working on finishing a new full length that should be out soon.

Sludgelord: Anything else you'd like to add?

Sean: Thanks to Sludgelord for premiering the video! Hope you guys like it and check out our website to for any news about upcoming releases and tours!

Doza:  On behalf of Colossus I'd like to extend a huge thanks to Jonny Gillette, who did a tremendous amount of work on our video for "You Died." He came up with the concept, produced, directed, and edited the video, and is an all around awesome dude! Also Sherri Di Fillipo put in countless hours building our cave set and doing some ultra rad claymation. Finally a huge thanks to all our friends and fans who came out and got weird with us, this video was a huge blast to make, we hope you enjoy it!

Check out the premiere of ‘You Died’. Enjoy!

14. Epitaph (Drum Track)
15. Apocalypse (A. Trapalis Violin Version)

Review:

In the world of extreme metal, George Kollias needs no introduction. He sits in an elite class of metal drummers, where speed and 4-limb independence are taken to the limits of human ability. If there were an Olympics of extreme metal drumming, he would be vying for the gold against heavyweights like Derek Roddy, Gene Hoglan, or Flo Mounier.

Outside of that world, the conversation goes something like this:  After I put on track 3 of ‘Invictus’ during a road trip, my friend's response: "Whoa that drumming is insane! What band is that?"

Me: "George Kollias."

Friend: "Cornholio?"

Me, laughing: "No man, it's the drummer from Nile, George Kollias."

Friend: "George Cornholio?"

Me: "Forget it..."

If you don't get this pop culture reference, you've never seen the show Beavis and Butthead, and I feel bad for you. Also, that is a real conversation I had last weekend.

But this brings up a valid point, why not name the project something more-- metal?

After doing some research, I discovered that George has an extensive fan base and they rabidly love his music. It started with his instructional videos on YouTube, which have millions of views.  He recently got an enormous response to his self-recorded songs, which he intended only to be backing tracks for his drum instructional videos and live clinics. The fan response was so positive, that he decided to take the songs to the next level, adding vocals, better production, guest musicians, and releasing the songs as a full-length album on Season of Mist, which is available now.

Without a doubt, the guy is an incredible drummer, but when "super musicians" like this put out a solo album, the music too often takes a backseat and serves merely as an accompaniment to showcase their virtuoso musicianship. Not so with ‘Invictus’, the debut solo album from George Kollias!  This album is a face melter. Not only is the musicianship top notch, the songs are an excellent collection of beautifully composed, blistering technical death metal. The vocals sound fresh and inspired, the guitars are blazing, and the drums are exactly what you want from George Kollias: a perfect blend of envelope-pushing technical wizardry and head-nodding musicality.

For his solo debut, George plays all the instruments and does most of the vocal tracking, with various guests appearing throughout the album, including members of Nile and Rotting Christ.  To prove that the album is not just about blast beats, the opening track is a creepy intro with spoken word, followed by the title track, which begins as a relatively sparse and downtempo song that then builds step by step into a magnificent blast beat assault. 

Track 3, ‘The Passage’, hits you like a brick wall before breaking down into a hand percussion interlude, then slamming right back into double bass mayhem.  What I also like about this album are the atmospheric sound textures peppered throughout. They give the ear a break from the intense blast beats, add another layer of sonic texture, and serve to link the songs into a cohesive, flowing album.  ‘Invictus’ is a 55-minute ride from hell on the back of a motorcycle driven by a post-apocalyptic warlord. The songs take mind-bending twists and turns, from crushingly slow to some of the most intense blast beats ever recorded.

The album is more than a vehicle for George Kollias's phenomenal drumming, the song writing is excellent and the album stands on its own.  He could easily have named this band an actual band name, and possibly reached more listeners... do the words George Kollias sound very metal? I think if you were to ask George or any of his fans, the response would be, "Who gives a fuck?" This album is a personal achievement for George and a labor of love between a humble musician and his fans. I have a feeling we will be hearing more from him down the road sooner rather than later.

Whether you are a musician who wants to get schooled by some of the most technical playing on the planet, or if you're a genuine metal head who just loves heavy and extreme music, definitely check out this album, which is downloadable for free on his website, or available on CD and LP. I'll be getting this one on vinyl for sure!

Zombi is:

Steve Moore

A.E. Paterra

Review:

For fans of late 70's, early 80's horror and sci-fi movies, Zombi provides the ultimate soundtrack to a time when good guys and bad guys alike had mullets, dangly ear rings, and lazer sights on their pistols.  A time when cars exploded for no reason and international terrorists stole floppy disks containing industrial secrets and sold them to the highest bidder. A time when karate could solve all your problems and the undead walked the streets at night. If you enjoy Lamborghinis jumping hundreds of feet, landing unscathed, or motorcycles traveling through time, then listen to any Zombi record.

Zombi is a Pittsburgh-based instrumental duo, featuring Steve Moore on Keyboards and bass guitar, and Anthony Paterra on the drumset. The band is inspired by movie soundtracks of the past, think John Carpenter meets Neil Peart. Collecting tracks from their first 2 EP's, the Anthology is now available for the first time on vinyl, thanks to Relapse Records. 

The keyboards are thick and lush, but the virtuoso drumming of the band's later recordings is largely absent.  Instead, the first 9 tracks feature simple programmed drum loops that serve as a basic accompaniment to the eerie keyboard arrangements. As an avid Zombi fan and regular listener of their other albums, I was a bit thrown by the lack of a live drumset on this release, but once my ears adjusted, I could appreciate this album for what it is: a document of a great band in its early stages and the soundtrack to a non-existent horror/sci-fi movie.  The movie would be dark, low budget, gritty and violent, set in a dystopian future. There would definitely be cyborgs-- maybe an army of zombified cyborg hybrids with lazer cannons on their shoulders.  There would be creepy chase scenes through dark labyrinths, heads exploding, and karate, lots of karate.

The opening track, "Sequence 1," is a creepy, slow-paced piece in the lower register that conjures images of reanimated corpses lumbering through dark alleyways. I could see myself cranking this one on Halloween to scare the pants off young trick-or-treaters. As you progress through the album, each song could be the background music to a different movie scene. A slow pan through the laboratory of an evil corporation, then protagonists desperately climbing through airducts, with zombies clawing at their heels. You get the idea.

The final track on the album, "DMC-12," launches in with a furious prog-inspired drum assault. This is the kind of drumming you find throughout their later albums: fiery, thoughtful, and perfectly executed.  It's a truly fun album that serves as a solid prequel to the band's first official release (and my personal favorite), 2004's ‘Cosmos’. If you've ever seen a Dario Argento film or Tom Selleck's Runaway, you'll understand what this album is trying to achieve. I can't wait to pick this up on vinyl.
