Album:THE WORD - VOLUME ONE - SHOWS 1-4
Label:GRUDGEFUL PRODUCTIONS
Format:DVD
Genre:Rock
The Word was a UK television programme that was broadcast on Channel 4 between 1990 and 1995. It was a magazine type format programme that included music, interviews and lifestyle features. Whilst the programme did have a high success rate with audiences particularly the younger audience moving into the 18-25 age bracket the show also attracted controversy. There were however many memorable moments contained within the programme in a musical sense and the show is credited with giving Nirvana their first international television exposure performing Smells Like Teen Spirit and also the first television exposure of Oasis performing Supersonic. There were many hosts of the programme but the anchor was journalist and broadcaster Terry Christian who stayed with the programme for its entire run. This DVD is part of a three DVD set of releases that contain some of the highlights from the five series which were broadcast between August 1990 and March 1995. The content actually stands up to scrutiny and as such it is easy to see why The Word became compelling viewing.
In Volume One you can relive such highlights as River Phoenix being interviewed by Amanda De Cadenet and Snoop Dogg’s experience with Rod Hull and Emu. Musical highlights include Oasis performing Supersonic and Nirvana performing Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time on European TV. The individual DVDs also feature extensive notes by The Word presenter Terry Christian. This is the first time that these performances have been released commercially and as The Word commanded a large cult audience over its five year run there is a large and dedicated audience now waiting to buy these DVDs.
Includes - First ever TV appearance by Oasis • European TV debut of Nirvana • Plus appearances by L7, Primal Scream, Pulp, En Vogue, Arrested Development, Happy Mondays, Manic Street Preachers and Cypress Hill

Band:VATTNET VISKAR
Album:VATTNET VISKAR
Label:BURNING WORLD
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Brandon Stosuy, Pitchfork (7.9): "Of late, black metal in the United States-- however excellent it might have been-- has often hinged on headlines and talking points. But Vattnet Viskar has no manifesto with which to proselytize, no extreme ideology or infamy over which to bicker, and no yarn about life on the ol' Cascadian farm with which to allure. Sure, to an extent, they're vegan environmentalists from Plaistow, New Hampshire, a town so seemingly quaint that its official history includes a proud section about something called "The Deodorized Order of the Skunk" and another about how local Girl Scouts have "helped shape the moral and civic sensibilities of Plaistow girls for many decades." Aside from some surprisingly wide-eyed lyrics that explore general themes of existential nihilism and a desire to tear down antiquated systems and build anew, none of those concerns really become a factor here. Vattnet Viskar is simply a strong start from a band that has tapped into the current transmogrification of black metal and proclaimed-- quickly, restlessly, and enthusiastically-- that it has something to say about the process."

Band:THE JIGSAW SEEN
Album:GIFTED
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Psych/Garage
With their third album in two years, The Jigsaw Seen are back with a new one to add to their artistically ambitious canon. The Jigsaw Seen's previous releases, Bananas Foster (2010) and Winterland (2011), received great reviews, both charted on the CMJ Top 200 and received airplay worldwide. Gifted was mastered by distinguished recording engineer Peter Mew (The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie) at Abbey Road Studios in London. The Jigsaw Seen goes right for the gut as Open Up The Box Pandora kicks off the proceedings with the proto-garage crunch of Jonathan Lea’s tremolo guitar. Teddy Freese pounds out the gospel according to Bo Diddley, while Tom Currier’s bass weaves its way along, most inventively. As the mysterious contents of Pandora’s box are about to be unleashed on the world, Dennis Davison conjures up a primal harmonica wail to bring the opening declaration to its exciting conclusion - The Jigsaw Seen's previous releases, "Bananas Foster" (2010) and "Winterland" (2011), received great reviews from UNCUT (UK), The Sunday Times (UK), The Independent (UK), The Daily Mirror (UK), Blurt, Glide, Babysue, Big Takeover, Dagger, PopMatters, All Music, iTunes and many other publications and websites.

Band:VOID MOON
Album:ON THE BLACKEST OF NIGHTS
Label:Cruz Del Sur
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Void Moon strikes a deadly blow with their debut album, "On the Blackest of Nights", proving once again that Sweden is a country where doom metal traditionally lives and prospers.
The roots of Void Moon's music are undoubtely deeply buried in the historic tradition of Metal, following the path drawn by the godfathers of doom (Black Sabbath and Candlemass above all); but Void Moon's atypical offer will also please fans of Solitude Aeternus and contemporary bands like Hammers of Misfortune and Grand Magus. An atmosphere of resigned pain and claustrophobic suffering flows on the entire work, finding its uttermost expression in songs such as the title track and the lamentous "Among the Dying"- with momentary outbursts of anger perfectly characterized by Jonas Gustavsson's vocal performance. Performed by musicians who are fans in the first place, "On the Blackest of Nights "represents a genuine and sincere offer to any lover of decadent and oppressive atmosphere of which Doom metal is about.
Void Moon was formed in early 2009 by bassist Peter Svensson and vocalist/guitarist Jonas Gustavsson along with drummer Thomas Hedlund. A first demo was released during the spring 2010, later released as a 4-track 7’’ EP entitled “Through the Gateway” 7” EP by the German label Metalbound Records. Following the release, Erika Wallberg joined the band as lead guitarist and in April 2011, a second demo was released, entitled "The Mourning Son".

Format:CD
Genre:Zombi/Goblin
For Fans of Fabio Frizzi, Goblin, Bruno Nicolai or Stelvio Cipriani
This German Duo is creating music with such an Italian Sound it could be easily used for an Giallo or Poliziotti made nowadays. You can hear some Fabio Frizzi influences especially with the choirs and some Nicolai in the Harmonies but then again it all sounds so unique and fresh. Sospetto shares pleasant musical memories with you, most of the time creepy and mysterious, then with a scent of happiness and a glimpse of reconciliation, but always untouchable, like the scale of different murders: cruel, but emotional at the same time. 15 tracks of audible black gloves, bloody razors and fateful affairs, like a soundtrack of a never filmed giallo.

Band:TWEAKER
Album:CALL THE TIME ETERNITY
Label:PLANETWORKS
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
Chris Vrenna garnered a name for himself in the early days of Nine Inch Nails, and then later producing or co-producing various artists (including Marilyn Manson, Rasputina, Xzibit, Lords of Acid) and providing remixes for U2 & Weezer (among others), and soundtrack work. In 2001, for example, Vrenna composed the dark, eerie instrumental soundtrack of American McGee's Alice. And it was also in 2001 that Vrenna unveiled his tweaker project. Best described as a blend of alternative pop/rock and electronica, tweaker blends an intriguing mix of influences and atmospheres. Dark and moody, call the time eternity is an electronic fever dream ride through a late night breakdown. Machine gun staccato percussion blends and churns with strings and synths to create a cohesive piece of work.

Band:MANTRIC MUSE
Album:MANTRIC MUSE
Label:Transubstans
Format:CD
Genre:Prog Rock
If you are into music based on a totally free and non-restrictive approach you could choose to spend a few hours with the new untitled CD from the Danish band MANTRIC MUSE. All the songs on the CD are made from a large catalogue of jams, which have been mapped, dissected and then re-created into parts. The different parts have afterwards been rearranged towards whole songs. Hereby, the base and the structures of the songs avoid most formal rules and fixed concepts (except the overall concept of organizing jams). The band tries to maintain the special freshness - the here and now - of the jams in the songs, so listeners can sense the present vibe of the original jams in the songs. Normally MANTRIC MUSE describes their music as music for neural travelling, and potentially the songs, which are all instrumental and also quite long, crafts a short break from the everyday life. Recommended för fans of ÖRESUND SPACE COLLECTIVE, OZRIC TENTACLES, VESPERO.

Band:THREE SEASONS
Album:UNDERSTAND THE WORLD
Label:Transubstans
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
After a very successful debut album and a largely appreciated 7-incher, THREE SEASONS are now working on a new full-length LP! The album is a twisting and turning mixture going to many different places while at the same time never leaving the sound of Three Seasons - the grooving, hard-hitting drumming and dynamic bass married with characteristic lead vocals and a most wicked guitar sound. It's a strong foundation of an original band, who clearly have developed and found their sound! Here you'll find folky grooves, Hendrixian guitar leads, rock-solid riffing, and more still... These Swedes deliver yet another amazing release you'll have to get your hands on ASAP!
An essential record for anyone into LED ZEPPELIN, JIMI HENDRIX, DEEP PURPLE, THE DOORS or bands similar..

Band:INNER ODYSSEY
Album:HAVE A SEAT
Label:UNICORN DIGITAL
Format:CD
Genre:Prog Rock
Inner Odyssey doesn't boast a myriad of technical show-off, but rather a delicately constructed flow of songs that form an album as a whole, where music and lyrics intertwine. Influenced by modern prog pillars such as Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater or Riverside, as well as old prog legends like Genesis, Pink Floyd or Yes, they aim at making music that is taken for what it is. Focusing on the feelings and emotions that music allows to be channelled as well as interesting song structures, rather than emphasizing any particular style, they try to let the music flow as it must, following the themes and lyrics to where they mean to be taken, dragging the audience along. The concept behind their first album is to invite the listener to sit down and open their minds to the music, to take part into highly dramatic events through fictional characters, plunging you deeply into the intriguing and strange beauty behind passion and misery, an inner odyssey.

‘This tremendous, dynamic album sits proudly atop the heavy psych heap. Savage riffs, throaty vocals, heavy and precise drumming, badass lyrics, woozy studio effects – all are present and correct.’ – Endless Trip
Originally issued in October 1968, this deranged blend of acid rock and proto-metal is widely regarded as one of the heaviest albums ever made up to that point. It’s presented in its definitive version here, complete with rare photographs, two bonus tracks and a full interview with lead guitarist Randy Russ.

8thSin was formed over 12 years ago, released their first album in 2004 ("Sinners Inc") and the second in 2005 ("Angelseed & Demonmilk"). The third album named "Cosmogenesis" was due to be released in 2006 but didn't see the light for various reasons. Apart from the frontman IT (from Vondur, Ophthalamia, Abruptum, War), 8thSin also holds well known guys Michael Bohlin, Johan Husgafvel (both part of the band PAIN) and Zacharias Ahlvik. Michael and Johan have been touring heavily all over the world with PAIN for the past 5-6 years so things have been postponed a bit, to say the least. But finally the third album will see the light in 2012 with all recorded songs intended for Cosmogenesis, as well as loads of extra stuff found in the process. It concludes the last bit of the trilogy that the 8thSin albums were intended to be, and It also holds two great covers of Depeche Mode and Venom.
Features members from Pain, Vondur and Ophthalamia!
Features guest appearances by members from Hammerfall, Kamelot,etc!

Eleven tracks, close to each one, poetic, where instrumental grace is appealing dreams and melancholy, somewhere between Erik Satie and Sigur Ros !

Band:AD PATRES
Album:SCORN AESTHETICS
Label:KAOTOXIN
Format:CD
Genre:Death Metal
Most probably the most expected debut full-length from a French Death Metal band in ages, “Scorn Aesthetics”, even if the band’s demo was already really impressive, succeeds in surprising the listener by the high-level of production, musicianship and song-writing involved so many long-running outfits are still only dreaming of. Brutal and technical, yet very melodic with catchy and memorable songs, the album hooks the listener upon the very first listen, never falling into the ultra complexity trap while still being incredibly heavy and intense.
