Darkest Era – The Last Caress of Light

An awesome debut which points towards even bigger things, I can’t recommend this album enough.

Grifter – s/t

Man, these guys have really nailed this style down. Anyone who digs Clutch, Bulletwolf, Orange Goblin’s more recent stuff, Diablo Red, COC, WCO, hell, KISS at their heaviest, or any of the fine bluesy psychedelic rarities previously unearthed by Ripple Music will wanna sink their teeth into this.

Today Is The Day – Pain Is A Warning

With its giant thundering riffs, and left-field ballads, Pain Is A Warning is at times eye-opening, but without a doubt it’s another welcome addition to the Today Is The Day catalog.

Disma – Towards The Megalith

Towards the Megalith is crushingly heavy – like monolithic pillars being dropped on top of you. Firmly anchored in the OSDM realm, the album features a demoralizing mix of harsh, seriously downtuned, doom-laden dirges that crawl along on split knuckles.

Iron Claw – A Different Game

This is a solid, dynamic, vintage rock ‘n roll record, 13 tracks spanning 57 minutes yet hardly a dull moment to be found.
