HARSH REALM ~ Death Carries On (2024)
Press play and feel your very essence devoured into the maw of The Great Beast. A coagulate of unemotional death doom encapsulated in a bloody crust.
'Death Carries On' by North Carolina's Harsh Realm is as rancid as death metal gets, slow chugging riffs contorted into even slower, flyblown breakdowns repeatedly abused by a frenzy of hostile violence.
The only boundaries Harsh Realm has stretched is how much pain you can suffer and still enjoy your punishment!

VOLUME ~ Joy Of Navigation (a trip through the eternal unknown) 2024
Originally formed in 1993 by ex-Fu Manchu singer Patrick Brink, the band on this recording features Monster Magnet guitarist Ed Mundell, drummer Mike Amster (Nebula) and production/keyboards by Dave Catching, so you could say that VOLUME is something of a Stoner Rock supergroup
'Joy of Navigation' is the band's latest album and contains five songs of immersive psychedelic stoner. The opening track 'Mercury Pull' is a real slow burner. When it first started I thought I was listening to something by Hawkwind but the celestial petals soon unfold into a Samsara Blues Experiment like stimulant, lazily dissolving into the cosmic ether before the emotion of the song dramatically changes into a ripping, heavy rocking roller coaster.
'Mercury Pull' turns out to be the calm before an extremely fierce storm of strutting, barrel chested riffs with fuzz more or less stripped away exposing a diamond hard metallic core. This enables the album to breathe and reveals the most interesting aspect of an already thoroughly absorbing record. If you listen closely, the soloing hardly ever stops. It's either in the background like incessant chatter or posturing wildly above the mayhem, often mutated by special effects pedals.
'Joy Of Navigation (a trip through the eternal unknown)' definitely hits the perfect spot, evolving from the album 'Requesting Permission To Land' which was a musical child of its time (also an essential buy) into a modern, dynamic, sonic force.

ATOMICHAND ~ Live At La Parroquia (2024)
For me to get excited about a split record it has to be pretty exceptional. Lo and behold! Here's one genre bending amalgamation of the heavy stoner psych of Iglesia Atomica and deathly, thrashing grindsters Out Of Hand, that fits the bill perfectly.
Iglesia Atomica opens the album and I've never heard them rock harder than this. A constant chatter of barbed jams squeal and shriek from the speakers, mutated from the incessant use of the wah pedal and groaning under the weight of stoner riffs, the heaviest I've heard from the band yet.
Out Of Hand surprisingly features two members of Iglesia Atomica but any other similarities stop there. This section of the album spits deathgrind of the most poisonous kind. Angry, spiteful, with a penchant for exploring the HM-2 sound. A rollercoaster deathride, Out Of Hand live is a raging assault one minute before churning out merciless breakdowns the next.
So, a split featuring two completely different styles of music where Iglesia Atomica fries your brain in acid while Out Of Hand tramples all over the smoking remains.
