ALTAMIRA.

Sometimes I don't want to share the goods, bro.
I'm sorry.
Every now and then though, there comes a record that just defies genre by creating the perfect brew of all things good about all things punk / metal, etc.

Serious stoner jams - but not in that "Stoner Rock" cliche' kind-of-way.
The "heaviness of the load" runs DEEP here, son.
If there was ever a record that could GET you high w/o you actually being high, here it is.

"You better axe somebody…

Altamira - Point of Impact

CROM.

Thrashy, sludged-out stoner metal complete with a million "Conan the Barbarian" audio clips interspersed between twisting-of-the-radio-dial and coke snort samples.

A fun record that works best with headphones on as it is full of nuances left and right - this just came out, so don't be a ballbag -buy it!

Crom - Hot Sumerian Nights




Now playing: Gorgoroth - Possessed (by Satan)

SAVIOURS.

Way back in the day - well, it wasn't that long ago - my first post here at L-RV was the first SAVOIURS record. Finally, these Bay Area riff-dawgs ring in the new year w/ some solid new material. These guys are defintiely giving High On Fire a run for the money in the "pummel" department. Ah it's cool though - they're all bros...

I've got to thank Cheeto & X-Angel for sending me this, those cats have been there for me in this game, and seeing as how my HD is still down, I could use a little help - THANKS, BROTHERS.
I suggest you go check their site out if you haven't already as they always serve up a full plate of "heavy".

Have a great holiday season - I'm off to the Sierra Nevadas of Northern California to hang out in the snow and rage with the Yeti...

D/L Saviours - Into Abaddon right here.

Now playing: Snake Nation - Monstrosity

GARGANTULA.

Totally punishing Nor-Cal "space heshers" who formed from the ashes of BL'AST & Spaceboy, these dudes are long overdue for some new material.
In the meantime get familiar with this...

Pg. 99 - Goodbye, Face

OLD GRANDAD.

A (hirsute) staple of the (metal) streets of San Francisco for a good long time, here's a truly solid effort into drug-addled beard-metal!

D/L Old Grandad - The Last Upper right here.



Now playing:

Eden Maine - Do Not Move A Muscle, Do Not Breathe A Word
via FoxyTunes

SAVIOURS.

These Oakland hesh-freaks lay down some thick riffery that in my humble opinion falls somewhere in between other Bay Area luminaries such as High On Fire and Crucifix (really?) as well as having a unique twist on Sabbath worship.
