(Death-Grind)
http://www.totalvomit.org/

Lauantaina 21.01.2012, The Rock Pub, Kokkola, Finland

Blasting and lisergic sludge stoner doom metal in the vein of bands like Electric Wizard, Sleep or Eyehategod hailing from Kotka. with menbers from Total Devastation, (12 years career death metal band).
"The Descent" , the first full lenght just released by the band, proves why demonic death judge are gettings a really interesting band in the international doom metal scene. something that began previously with their 2 previous ep´s, a really big surprise in the doom scene, with killer and adictive tracks like "Kneel" or "We Follow No Light".

"The Descent" is a really ambicious work after their e.p.'s, expanding their influences into more progressive composions where u can listen vibes/influences, apart of their signature doomy sound) from bands like Mastodon to Led Zeppelin.
"The Descent" is having really good critics in finnish metal media and also all europe.

sabado 19, la residencia, valencia
domingo 20 df hollander, sevilla

WE ARE THE DAMNED desde portugal llevan un tiempo siendo un nombre mas que añadir a la lista de grupos tales como BLACK BREATH, TRAP THEM o los ultimos ROTTEN SOUND, todas bandas que tienen en comun ser deudores del sonido creado a princpios de los 90's por los suecos ENTOMBED: death metal de la vieja escuela, crust n' roll, punk,... ese sonido inconfundible de guitarras del death metal sueco,..

WE ARE THE DAMNED no son nuevos en la escena musical, varios de sus miembros tocan o han tocado en bandas como TWENTY INCH BURIAL, MORE THAN A THOUSAND. o su banda "hermana" recientemente disueltos ATENTADO.

WE ARE THE DAMNED editaron su primer disco "the new shape of hell to come" en 2008. al principio eran una formacion con una cantante femenina al frente, con la cual hicieron sendas giras por el reino unido y suecia. tiempo despues, vinieron varios cambios de formacion, ricardo correira guitarrista paso a a las voces y ricado cabrita, bajista de MORE THAN A THOUSAND entro como guitarrista, y con esta formacion regrabaron su primer disco, re-titulado "resurrection plague" editado en el 2010 con un sonido mucho mas aguerrido y feroz que bien les pondria al lado de grupos como BLACK BREATH sin ninguna contemplacion. el pasado abril su segundo y flamante disco "holy beast" editado en el sello aleman bastardized records (que edita a DARKEST HOUR entre otros grupos) y que ha significado una continuacion con respecto a su primer disco, con un sonido mas veloz entorno a un crudo, diabolico e endiablado brutal crust death n'roll, una vez mas, solo comparable a los americanos BLACK BREATH.

SINK in Sweden

2011-10-19T05:59:00.000-07:00

The amazing finnish band SINK will play 2 gigs at the end of oct. in Sweden, here all info:

SINK
Fin. svart/kaos kontrol

28.10.2011 @ Skånes Konstförening, Malmö
29.10.2011 @ Gårdaskolan, Gotheborg

SINK can be considered one the most secret hidden in north europe, concretely from finland. from their black metal background they are creating a really unique sound (black metal vibes, ambient, drone,...) that goes, in fact, if u see one of their performance, beyold musical labels like black metal for example, they have a unique sound like nobody does in this moment.
as i say below:
"The Process» (their first full lenght) album could be the perfect soundtrack for a night in the woods during the finnish winter… or just try to imagine the blackest Sunno)) «disarmed» of heavy guitars, jamming with Pan Sonic in these dark woods too…"

SINK comes from Pori, Finland, and they released during last 2008 one of the most interesting and innovative albums about drone-dark-ambient music experimenting with dark atmospheric drones, minimal electronics and certain black metal vibes. sink are, with other finnish great band like the north sludge myth Fleshpress (those have co-released the album in their own label), one of the most interesting acts coming from scandinavia about dark and experimental sounds.

The Process» album could be the perfect soundtrack for a night in the woods during the finnish winter… or just try to imagine the blackest Sunno)) «disarmed» of heavy guitars, jamming with Pan Sonic in these dark woods too…

their live performances (those normally with many improvisated parts ) are considered a really extremely cathartic and dark experience. they were choosen by the finnish band Callisto for supporting them in the finnish tour for their last album in spring of 2009, and later in june they toured in south europe.

In march of 2011 came out their ep "truth & severance" and in oct. 2011 Sink will release their next album "The Holy Testament" in the finnish label Svart Records (Killing Joke, Steve Von Till, Pentagram,..)

WE ARE THE DAMNED from lisbon, are a name to add to the list of bands like BLACK BREATH or TRAP THEM or the latest ROTTEN SOUND, bands with a high influence by the sound create in early 90's by ENTOMBED: swedish old school death metal guitar sound, crust-punk, death n' roll,...

WE ARE THE DAMNED are not new in the musical scene, some of their members has been playing or play in bands like TWENTY INCH BURIAL, MORE THAN A THOUSAND or ATENTADO, the other project of half all their members.

WE ARE THE DAMNED's second album "holy beast" came out last april, released by the german label bastardized records (DARKEST HOUR among others), has been a big step forward from their first one, focusing their sound into a raw, blasting and evil crust-death n'roll just comparable to bands like the americans BLACK BREATH.

el grupo fines FUN, que se les podria considerar algo asi como los "shellac o jesus lizard nordicos" van a girar por el estado en el proximo mes de mayo, he aqui mas info de la banda:

FUN, desde helsinki y formados en el 2001, son la respuesta, desde los paises nordicos al sonido post-hc noise rock creado en los, 90's por bandas como SHELLAC o THE JESUS LIZARD y, sellos como Touch And Go o tambien Amphetamine Reptile. FUN son el grupo con una trayectoria mas solida en cuanto a estos sonidos que hay en el norte de europa. su carrera lo demuestra, claramente: han girado por europa anteriormente, han compartido, escenario con bandas como THE JESUS LIZARD, NOMEANSNO, POLVO o DEERHOOF, y han grabado, su penultimo disco "Zu-pa!" con Steve Albini en, Chicago en los estudios Electrical Audio, y el ultimo "New, 13" con Bob Weston, tambien en Chicago, este ultimo, recien editado el pasado mes de octubre.

FUN sin duda alguna tiene uno de los directos mas potentes y convincentes en cuanto a estos sonidos en Europa, teniendo notablemente los ingredientes que han caracterizado a las mejores bandas del estilo (vease SHELLAC o HOOVER), sonido tenso y musculoso, perfecta compenetracion y un impecable perfectisimo dominio cada uno con su instrumento.

Miguel A. Garcia (xedh) y Jon Imbernon (ex-guitarrista de grupos como fallen, ximel o le noise y actualmente en ura) cruzaron sus caminos en los años 2006/2007 dando fruto a varias improvisaciones, un par de temas (nunca acabados) y varias actuaciones en directo, entre ellas una en la sala bilborock de bilbao en diciembre del 2006 dentro del festival MEM junto al japones Merzbow, y Sons of Bronson entre otros.

el pasado verano del 2009 se vuelven a juntar desechando parcialmente el material y las intenciones de hace 3 años, con la pretension de ahondar mas profundamente en las posibidades a explorar en una "conversacion" entre un intrumento como la guitarra electrica y la electronica.

electro-acustica, noise, ambient, drone-metal,... "Turku" es la primera colaboración que se edita de los vascos. Edición limitada de 40 copias numeradas a mano, impresión a color en portadas y disco, en fundas de plástico, empaquetados en fundas de plástico selladas y que es editada por el sello for Noise's sake, un sello de música experimental, con sede en Madrid (España). especialiazado en cualquier tipo de sonidos de ruido/experimental/free/improvisación/no-wave/electrónica en CDR y casetes copiados y hechos a mano y en ediciones limitadas.

------------

Miguel A. Garcia (experimental music basque artist know also as xedh, or valvula antiretorno) and Jon Imbernon (ex-guitarrist of bands like ximel, fallen or le noise and still in ura) crossed their ways in 2006/2007 for first time, playing some impros togheter, composing 2 tracks (not finished yet) and a few live perfomances like one in december of 2006 as part of MEM festival at bilborock venue (bilbao) with Merzbow, and Sons of Bronson.

Now, after 3 years they join again leaving behind partly the old intentions and material and with the pretention of to practice and explore more deeply the posibities of a "conversation" between electric guitar and electronics.

electro-acustic, noise, ambient, drone-metal,... Turku is the first collaboration edited of both musicians, Limited edition of 40 hand numbered copies, color printing on covers and disc, housed in plastic sleeves, packed in sealed plastic bags release by for Noise's sake, an experimental music label based in Madrid (Spain), specialized in any kind of noise/experimental/free/improv/no-wave/electronica sounds on handmade and limited CDRs and cassettes..

+
THATHIANA KHANKHANA
(Pasaia, doom-punk con miembros de grupos como TRIGGER TRAVIS, FREAKNATION,..)

sabado 11 de septiembre 21:30, gaztetxe de zarautz.

Desde Dorset llega esta genial banda de sludge doom con 2/3 de la formación original de Electric Wizard que creó clásicos del stoner-doom como 'Dopethrone' o 'Come My Fanatics'. No te esperes una fotocopia de los Wizard, el sonido de Ramesses es propio e instrasferible: oscuro, lisérgico y extremo, plagado de riffs serpenteantes y ritmos obsesivos en la onda de Unearthly Trance, Winter, Volition, Godflesh...

Han dicho de RAMESSES:

“Misanthropic Alchemy es toda una muestra de que uno puede volver a inspirarse en los viejos clásicos para crear algo mágico e hipnótico aún a día de hoy”
Reacciones Negativas

“Ramesses inject their dense, weighty doom with a level of mantra like malice that borders on the autistic”
Metal Hammer

“Where was this tsunami of a band from? Who was this? Did I know them already? I’m sure they’re called Ramesses on the sleeve... wasn’t there a band called Ramesses in the ‘70s on Vertigo? What the fuck is going on?”
Julian Cope at Head Heritage (talking about The Tomb, Head Heritage’s album of the month - February 2006)

“Ramesses are currently one of the most important bands in UK metal”
Rock Sound

“This is bleak sludgy doom at its most hostile; a drawn-out, torturous swamp of lobotomised Sabbath riffs and tonsil-gratin howls. You could really ruin a good party with this”
Kerrang!

“To describe Ramesses’ sound simply as ‘doom’ is to do it a huge disservice; it’s a diseased, leprous, decaying, festering slime of rotting putrid malevolence... it’s a soundtrack to a vision of Hell in necrocolours!” Zero Tolerance

EAGLE TWIN
(U.S. Southern lord)

Behold the debut album from Eagle Twin. Although Eagle Twin is a very new entity its helmsman: Gentry Densley is no stranger to innovative, heavy music. Densley was the musical visionary and leader of the legendary Jazz, Prog, Rock, Metal, Hardcore group Iceburn from 1991-2001.

Iceburn has been called the greatest and most important musical offering from Salt Lake City since the Osmonds! Gentrys' playing has been very influential to alot of successful modern music groups such as: Isis, Pelican, Sunn 0))) etc..

In order to disseminate his majestic and mountainous riffs in the present day he enlisted massively behemoth skinsman Tyler Smith. The drums are not only a driving force that efficiently steam rolls over you they conjure a repetitious mantra that is eerily infectious.
Although Iceburn was primarily a instrumental force with Eagle Twin Gentry is much more vocal and the depth of his lyrics is endless. His vocal evocations bring to mind the hoarse rasp of Tom Waits and Howlin Wolf but possibly channeled through Tuvan throat singers! His voice, is used much like an instrument and often times creates a unique drone of its own. The riffs and music definitely have familiar reference points (Caspar Brotzmann Massaker,Earth, Sunn 0))), Melvins etc..) but are crafted in a way that stands miles beyond the others.

"The Unkindness of Crows" was recorded to tape in Seattle by Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn 0))), Kinski, Ascend).

POMBAGIRA
(U.K. black axis records/mordgrimm records)

Formed at the crossroads between 2006 and 2007. The programme of intent is based on a strong acknowledgement to the forces associated with the downtrodden.

The name PombaGira comes from the Afro-Brazilian religion of Quimbanda. Within the confines of this religion for those socially marginalised, PombaGira's attributes are strength and protection. She is the wife/consort of Exu, a trickster spirit that has in the past been mistaken for the devil. She is the protectress of the downfallen, prostitutes and the weak. She commands obediance and is considered to have a fiery constitution. Because she 'serves with both hands', an adage describing her flexible approach to how she treats humans, she is to be feared and revered. If you treat her with respect she will potentially grant you what you wish, however, if the compact is made and then broken she will unleash a surge of destruction that will leave no-thing standing. It is this kaleidoscope of hidden depth and potential within the expression of the life world, here enfleshed, that is made manifest through the medium of sound. It is this thin veneer between the hidden and the seen, the fixity of a reality and the possibility for exploration into the sphere of the invisible that defines the inspiration for the band.

The Crooked Path is the course upon which we tread, to the faint-hearted it is a journey that one should not take.
First LP is now out, it is available through this site and is also available through Shellshock distribution the same can be said for Black Axis Abraxas. Equipment we use those who may be interested: 2x 1973 Sunn Model T 150 watt/ Sunn Model T 1976 150 watt/ sunn 2000s 120 watt/1975 Orange 120 OR/Laney Klipp 100 watt 1975/ 1975 Selmer SV 100 watt treble and bass amp/1970s Simms-Watts 100 watt/ 1972 Impact by Status 120 watt/ 1973 Sound City 200 watt modified amp.

Action Beat vuelven a la peninsula de gira!. la "orquesta" mas ruidosa de noise-rock y no wave vendran el proximo mes de noviembre, esta vez con nuevo disco, titulado "beatings", en Southern Records de nuevo, el cual sera presentado en Bletchley, su ciudad natal, en un concierto con un monton de baterias invitados que dara comienzo a esta gira su enesima gira Europea.
interesados en montarles algun concierto en las fechas todavia disponibles por la peninsula podeis poneros en contacto aqui.

he aqui su bio y algunos videos de su estruendoso y energetico directo:

Action Beat son una banda de noise-no wave/punk de Bletchley (Milton Keynes) con influencias de los primeros Sonic Youth, Glenn Branca, The Ex y los japoneses Boredoms y con grandes dosis de improvisación en sus conciertos. En el escenario pueden llegar a ser de 5 a 14 músicos y normalmente son al menos entre 3 y 4 baterías, 3 guitarras, un bajista y una guitarra barítona.

Action Beat fue concebido en el 2004 por James Carney y Don Malean. Al principio eran un dúo de batería y bajo para posteriormente ambos pasar a tocar guitarras y contar con una caja de ritmos durante el periodo 2004-2006 en la que tocaban incansablemente y sus conciertos eran extremadamente ruidosos y caóticos (acababan con el kit de batería por los suelos y ellos semidesnudos). Fue en el 2006-2007cuando reformaron totalmente el concepto de la banda dentro de un periodo de reajustes reclutando numerosos músicos y pasando a ser de 1 a 3 o 4 baterías (dependiendo de la ocasión), un bajista, y una guitarra barítona. En enero del 2007 graban 2 temas semi-improvisados en los estudios Southern. Más tarde graban en el mismo estudio otros 3 temas con arreglos de trompeta, violín y saxofón. Estos 5 temas compusieron su primer disco "1977-2007 - Thirty Years of Hurt, Then Us Cunts Exploded".

Action Beat han dado alrededor de 500 conciertos por el Reino Unido y Europa, habiendo tocado y girado con bandas como Do Make Say Think, Zu ,Dalek, Oxes, Usaisamonster, OvO, entre otros. Su forma de actuar está claramente marcada por el DIY y es por eso una de sus motivaciones es tocar lo máximo posible. Su directo es altamente histriónico y contundente a partes iguales y esto ha hecho que Southern Records (Karate, 90 Day Men,...) haciéndose eco del directo de la banda (3 o 4 baterías sonando a "pleno pulmón") les haya fichado, sacando a finales del 2008 su segundo y flamante álbum "The Noise Band From Bletchley" que vendrián a presentar en su tercera gira estatal en poco mas de un año en mayo del 2009.

Su proxima gira europea sera entre Octubre y Noviembre del 2010 donde presentaran su segundo disco para Southern Records, tercero de su carrera, titulado "Beatings" y que vera la luz en el proximo mes de Octubre.

ALUK TODOLO FINSTERNIS TOUR

2010-05-18T07:09:00.000-07:00

the genious and dark power trio known as ALUK TODOLO plans to tour in france spain, portugal and switzerland in the next month of may (12-24), they are known for create a unique mix of black metal vibes and dark atmospheres mixed with monolithic kraut rock patterns creating a really cathartic sound...

part black metal ocult fiend (just you can check their my space profile: http://www.myspace.com/aluktodolo) and part kraut rock snaut kraut menace, ALUK TODOLO is a power trio formed in 2004 performs what they call "ocult rock", a methodical exploration of the powers of the musical trance. The band conjures rabid obsessive rhythms and abyssal disharmonic guitars, subliminal spiritualist vibrations and bizarre, magick summonings. ALUK TODOLO reduces psychedelic improvisation to a bare, telluric instrumentation, in which dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass.The band’s sound is monolithic and stabbing, hypnotic but unpredictable, minimalist yet teeming: a dangerous, noxious coil of all things black. they have releasing their albums on the north american label public guilt (DALEK, ZU, o HABSYLL among others...). and they have toured in the U.S. supporting in New York the 70's kraut rock myth FAUST, and the band is supported by Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), KTL), Albin Julius (Der Blutharsch and the infinitive church of the leading hand), Guy Pinhas (The Obssessed)
