(Southern Lord’s Xibalba will take you into a hardcore mosh pit)
Cold: Xibalba (California) (7:02-13:19)
(Summoner is “rock with space”, real vocals and the guitarist JAMS)
Across Iron Fields: Summoner (Boston) (13:37-18:36)
(Column of Heaven is kind of something you have never heard before – weird, technical, fuzz, noise)
Entheogen: Column of Heaven (Toronto) (18:51-21:36)
(Reverend Bizarre is one of my favorite Finnish bands, which says a lot. They no longer exist, but have reissued another album. Just go get all their albums. Their members are also in Lord Vicar)
The Devil Rides Out: Reverend Bizarre (Finland) (22:02-28:09)
(Diesel King does a compelling take on sludge – a superior blend of great riffs that pound into your brain; from their new EP)
The Ancient And The Nameless: Diesel King (London) (29:05-34:19)
(Mos Generator will be touring with St. Vitus and have a new album in October - dirty southern rock blues)
Opium Skies: Mos Generator (Port Orchard, Washington) (34:41-39:21)
(Jess and the Ancient Ones is joining the other doom bands led by ladies – the next song is one of the “prettier” songs from the album; the vocals are fantastic)
The Devil (in G-minor): Jess and the Ancient Ones (Finland) (39:53-43:47)
(Another sci-fi occult 70’s jammy album from Ice Dragon)
Maximum Trip: Ice Dragon (Boston) (44:36-49:47)
(Feuerzeug are Swiss rockers with a lot of young rock energy, great vocals – not for the brutal fan)
Magma, Lava and Burned Karma: Feuerzeug (Switzerland) (50:02-56:08)
(Finnish record label Svart Records is releasing Bedemon’s new album in October. They started the new record in 2002, but guitarist Randy Palmer was killed in a car accident. Bedemon is an offshoot of Pentagram and had albums in the 70’s. This next song is from the 70’s, but they haven’t changed much – excuse the quality)
Serpent Venom: Bedemon (Virginia, 1974) (57:16 – end)
