Estradasphere-Palace of Mirrors


Heavy hitting rock experimental rock. Definitely a cool album. With tracks that vary in style from jazzy big band to secret agent surf, from Eastern sounding folk weirdness to electronic madness. This one has something for every one. Estradasphere kind of sounds like the trans-siberian orchestra having a bad acid trip while exploring the adams family mansion.

Bathory-Under The Sign Of The Black Mark


One of my personal favorites. This album will take you "Under" to some "Dark" and "Black" places, "Under" some kind "Of" "Sign" or "Mark."

"THE"

Born Bad/Duress-Spilt


If you haven't heard duress get their demo HERE. Born Bad is pretty good hardcore. give em both a listen. It wont take you more than 5 minutes to listen to the spilt as whole so WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY

Wow what'dya know you can get their indifference 7 inch on here too

Thrones-Sperm Whale


I've never heard sludge like this before. Joe Preston's(who has played in Sunn O))), Earth, and the melvins) project is a really original take on the Sludge/doom/drone genre. The usage of drum machines and synthesizers give the album an electronica feeling. This melds perfectly with the lumbering and powerful bass riffs and the sometimes insanely effects heavy vocals. This is a very fresh take on something that i thought couldn't of gotten any better. For fans of Harvey Milk, Sunn O))),Sleep, Etc.. This one is really worth a listen.

Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place



















Another cool space-out album. The guy who showed me this called it a mix between "chillwave" and "shoegaze", and I think that's a good way to describe the album's sound. sort of a mix between Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, Moby, and Sigur Ròs. A very cool, light-hearted album, like a shimmering breeze of melodies and beats and shit.

Nico-The Marble Index


The Marble Index's sounds like an off kilter nightmare. Orchestrated by a terrible and beautiful siren(nico). With drunken rhythms on harmonium backed by folk instruments from the dark and inner most grim areas of the human mind. Beautiful and off kilter folk weirdness.
