Like Black Holes In The Sky: The Syd Barrett Tribute

Syd Barrett's singular vision has influenced countless musicians across the globe. His slightly cracked songwriting, in both in his solo work and his short-lived time as the driving force behind Pink Floyd, gave birth to an entire generation of progressive and cutting edge artists. That generation influenced the next, which in turn influenced the next, and so on. Now, on this album, over four decade's worth of some of the biggest names in avant-garde metal and rock have come together to pay tribute to this madcap genius. Featuring some of the most influential players in the history of heavy music (including Justin Broadrick, Jarboe and Pentagram, as well as members of Voivod), Like Black Holes in the Sky: The Tribute to Syd Barrett is a hard-rocking, psychedelic trip through the mind of a musician the likes of which will never be heard again.

Career Suicide - Cherry Beach E.P.

So you long for the days when hardcore sounded like punk? Then Career Suicide is the band for you. Career Suicide is a fantastic band from Toronto that has been sending waves through the hardcore scene since they formed in 2001. Rather than adopt the more modern tougher, heavier sound that hardcore has nowadays, they chose to emulate band such as Circle Jerks, early Black Flag, The Germs, and D.O.A.

This particular E.P. was pressed up for their tour of the UK and Ireland and has yet to be released in America. When it is released it will most likely sound quite a bit different according to the band's site.

2) Double Life
3) Your Body, Not Your Soul (originally by Cuby and the Blizzards, 1968)

Cavo

This review is for their 3" self titled, its the only real description I could find for this band but gives you a good idea what to expect on this album as well.

Japan's mysterious Cavo, who just happen to be labelmates of the amazing (and amazingly monickered) Bathtub Shitter, and feature a member of Corrupted! The first two tracks are a bit misleading, a hazy pagan ritual of gutteral almost-throat singing, temple bells and slow chants. Reminds us a bit of Ghost or Comus. But the ritual quickly grow in intensity until it's a chaotic swirl of tribal drums, shouted vocals, sludgy low end, repetitive riffs, and thick viscous ambience. Like a primitive mix of the Boredoms and Crash Worship. The tribal melee continues, interrupted briefly with one more ambient interlude, all low end rumble and groaning vocalisations, sounding like Keiji Haino with strep throat fronting Earth. Toward the end of the record the sludge coalesces into a weirdly catchy Viking style sing-a-long, lots of WOOOAH OOH OHHH's until things wind down in a truly creepy ritual of spoken female vocals, clapping, manic chanting, shouts, screams and whistles. Comus meets the Boredoms? The Wickerman performed by Corrupted? Boris covers the Incredible String Band? More amazing and baffling Japanese weirdness!

Wicked Lady

Wicked Lady exemplifies the "record collector" bands that gain new life through reissues: in this case, Kissing Spell's albums The Axeman Cometh and Psychotic Overkill. Their appearance marked some belated recognition for the power trio, which Northampton singer-guitarist Martin Weaver formed in 1968 with drummer "Mad" Dick Smith and bassist Bob Jeffries. However, Wicked Lady never came within a whisper of the stratospheric status attained by Cream, or the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The band's liberal use of feedback -- and large biker following -- kept them relegated to clubs, even during the twilight hours of the psychedelic era. Awash in drink and drugs, Wicked Lady split up in 1970, but Smith and Weaver soon regrouped with new bassist, Del "German Head" Morley. The new lineup duly set about documenting its existence, as captured on Psychotic Overkill -- whose feel is looser than Axeman Cometh. The effect is a shotgun marriage of Black Sabbath-style rifferama, supported by a less risk-taking rhythm section. Weaver's vocal style lacks charisma, but his wah-wah and fuzz-driven guitar style carries the day. The highlights include a bluesy cover of Hendrix's "Voodoo Child," the sex 'n' drugs snapshot of "Sin City," and the howling, 21-minute epic, "Ship Of Ghosts." But Wicked Lady's erratic ways proved too difficult for clubowners, who eventually refused to let them play. (At one gig, the band reportedly played the same song over and over until an irritated management pulled the plug on them.) Wicked Lady imploded in 1972, but Weaver rebounded that same year by joining the Dark, a more psychedelic- and progressive-outfit.

Pink Floyd's "Animals" [1977]

Yes. A non-obscure 70's rock band.

Animals is a concept album, based on the flaws of capitalism. Various castes in society are represented as different types of animals (Dogs as the businessmen, sheep as the powerless pawns, and pigs as the ruthless leaders). Although this album mainly attacks capitalism, several components are similar to George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm": In the book various animals (mainly pigs, sheep, dogs, etc.) represent different roles assumed by individuals in a communist society.

If you ask me, this is their best album. Fuck The Wall, fuck Dark Side Of The Moon. This is where it's at.

Cromagnon - Orgasm

This albums seriously just blew my mind. Heres a description from some dude on waffles.

The opening track is an industrial / black metal dirge backed up with bagpipes. Keep in mind, this album was made in 1969, many years before either black metal or industrial music was invented. Also keep in mind that this album was made by a pair of pop-music professional studio musicians. Lots of drugs were involved. I have no evidence to back up that statement, but it goes without saying. The album continues to get stranger, with collages of sound and music that conjure the most horrible imagery. This album induces fear among the sane. It climaxes at the seventh track, Toth, Scribe I, when the slow-dawning realization of what the listener is actually listening to reveals the true depths of insanity to which these people have sunk. I don't whant to give it away...

One small correction, the album was originally released in 1968.

Download this shit. NOW.

Lucifer's Friend - Self Titled

Lucifer's Friend was a 1970s German hard rock and progressive rock band who often incorporated elements of jazz and pop music.

Despite the band's German origin and progressive rock stylings, they are not usually classified as krautrock which had a more electronically oriented sound.(shits from gayopedia)

This is the first album by heavy metal/progressive rock band Lucifer's Friend, released in 1970. There are many Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin influences heard throughout this album, most notably the dark lyrics heard on many songs, especially the song "Lucifer's Friend." There is a little controversy that "Ride In The Sky" is a rip off of the "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin, but this is not true due to the fact that "Ride In The Sky" was written before Robert Plant wrote "Immigrant Song."

Dark - Round the Edges

Dark - Round the Edges CD. Reissue of infamous 1971 UK private pressing hard psychedelic rock acid guitar monster! Also contains 4 bonus tracks!This LP is a long lost rock classic. Some folks consider this to be progressive rock, I however would consider it as pre-progressive in that it was more like Blue Cheer than it was any of the other prog bands emerging at the time.

The guitar is hard and fast and the vocals run hot and cold. The first side of the album was luke-warm from an overall standpoint ... side two however is excellent. The playing is superlative and the vocals are kicked up a notch to match the intensity of the music. There are only three cuts on side two, but they certainly get the job done and prove how talented a band they could be when they got down to business.

There is more to like than dislike when you listen to this album. I would suggest you listen to side two first then side one, you will see how their sound takes on different elements and influences, some stronger than others. The bottom line is that this is a worthwhile collector's piece and a slice of rock music worth hearing, especially if you are a progressive rock enthusiast interested in the development of the genre.

Warlord - Self Titled

Mega-rare previously UNRELEASED recordings from the mid. 70's by this dark UK underground doom band. We are talking no-nonsense heavy duty SABBATH style occult rock by a group of drug-crazed muse's with a genuine interest in witchcraft and the black arts. A nice homely bunch to introduce to the vicar when he comes over for tea and fairy cakes on a Sunday afternoon. Probably the heaviest Audio Archives release to date, more potent than Dark and more doomy than Black Widow. Includes additional live material, full band history and magnificent medieval war-cry artwork.

Paternoster - Self Titled

Upon throwing this record on, I was immediately drawn into a dark, vivid opera clad with churchesque organs(creating a nice and almost ironic accompaniment to the album's recurrent theme of religious skepticism), howling, throat-burning vocalizations and a hint of Krautrock influenced basslines.

The first track of Peternoster's self-titled 1972 album, 'Paternoster' begins with a Latin chant that progresses into a frustrated, poetic recitation over the consistent drones of a church organ, soon becoming a short jam that sounds like the doors drowning underwater(trust me, this description fits it). The following tracks live up to the album's initiation with the exception of Old Danube, which seems blatantly misplaced.

The album gracefully closes with the clever 'Mammoth Opus O, who's last 25 seconds deliver one of the most memorable conclusions to an album in Progrock history in that it concludes the album with a sudden shift to a light sound that seems to literally laugh at the listener out of complete insanity.

It is almost indispensable that every Progrock collector hears this album for its beautiful themes and elements that are guaranteed to provide a moving experience.(review stolen from prog archives)
