Zak Riles - Zak Riles (2008)

Grails guitarist Zak Riles branches out for the solo LP, but still retains that Grails sound we all love.  Great Psychadelic/Chillout album.

Koloss - End Of Chayot (2011)

Yo everyone, sorry it's been such a long time, why is life always so fucking busy eh? Anyway first post is Koloss, a sludge/doom band from Svetlanda, Sweden. Short but great debut album.

'Heavy, dark tones and beautiful, melancholic and melodic passages is what defines the sound of KOLOSS. The lyrics are often portraying an apocalyptic world. The vision is the future and the message is that change is necessary.'

Sunn O))) - White2 (2004)

This is an interesting one.  Thick Doom/Drone from Duo Sunn O))).  On my first listen I was not hugely impressed to say the least but slowly I've found myself going back to Sunn O))), again and again.  Maybe you'll like it maybe you won't, but hey give it a listen atleast.

Russian Circles - Station (2008)

Station by Chicago's three piece, Russian Circles is not another album to be stamped by the ever crushing 'Post Rock' genre tag. 
An instrumental album with huge songs that rise and fall, some great work on guitar and bass, however the highlight of the album is Dave Turncrantz, the drummer.  Really original and creative drum work which is great to see, in what is slowly becoming a slightly 'stale' style of music throughout the music community.
Sick stuff

Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites (2005)

Really great album, two sepearate CDs from Rosetta, a post metal outfit. One, crushingly heavy, the other consiting of amazing soundscapes. When played together the CD's simultaneously create some of the most interesting and engergetic sounds to date. Great concept, great album.

Ulver - Shadows Of The Sun (2007)

As you can see from the backdrop I am a huge fan of Ulver and Shadows of The Sun is one of their best.

This album takes time and a few listens to get into, but stick with it because this album has quickly become one of my all time favourites and contains some fantastic tracks .  Very dark and melancholic but soothing at the same time and some of the best album art I've ever seen.

Take it easy and enjoy.

High on Fire - Death Is This Communion (2007)

Fourth full-length from California's, High On Fire.  Led by Mike Pike, formerly of the legendary Sleep, these guys play thundering sludge/stoner metal with thick riffs and slicing guitar solos. What more could you possibly want?

If your at all a fan of Kyuss this is a must. Great vocals, great riffs.  Awesome stoner album.

Grails - Black Tar Prophecies Vol's 1, 2, & 3 (2006)

Some of the best stoner/psychadelic music I've heard for a long time.  Rock, jazz, free-form freakouts, droning soundscapes, plodding dubbed-up and out bass, they are all here giving the record a great '60s and '70s feel . Dark and amazing, absolutely beautiful music.

Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde (2007)

This is an incredible Shoegaze/Post Rock/Black Metal album from France's, Alcest.  The project is led by a guy called Neige who creates beautiful music which draws influences from many genres.  Fans of Black or Downbeat Metal this is a album you should definitely have a listen to.

Callisto - Noir (2006)

When I first starting listening to Post-Metal and Sludge,it all began with Callisto.  The Finnish Sextet's second album Noir contains influences of progressive, ambient, sludge, jazz and many others and as a result is one of my favourites.  Fans of ISIS etc should dig this shit.

Jack And The Bearded Fisherman - Places To Hide (2011)

I know this has featured on Stonerobixx's Blog recently but I couldnt resist.  A great stoner rock/sludge album from some dudes in France, definately worth a play through.
'Taking into their itinery the neanderthal blues, they will cross through troubled waters and musical fury. They will navigate between melody and impatience, skirting still pools of tension and waves of explosion…'

BoC / Quiet Lakes - Missing Endings (Split) (2011)

Just got sent this one to review a few days ago and I'm really impressed.  The album starts with Breakfast of Champions a Tokyo based band playing metal and rock n roll with some great Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) style vocals, the riffs fucking kick ass.  This then leads into  Quiet Ocean from Ontorio, an awesome display of bleak soundscapes, showing influences of Drone/Post Doom/Post Rock.  Well worth downloading and listening and I wish the two groups all the best. Drone on.
