Devil-Time To Repent Review

Time to Repent, the debut album of norwegian doomsters Devil. in 2011 this record was released, a quasi concept album. The band took notes

from Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Witchfinder General, and Saint Vitus. Focusing on curses, and an occult theme, with witches and damnation steady, this album

is pretty classic and impressive. Very raw production, not a bad thing, its pure. They have the bluesy realm of early Sabbath on breaking the curse,

an upbeat, bluesy waltz song called Break The Curse, going on a about "true love's kiss won't break the curse I know", makes for a great introduction.

The next track Blood is boiling begins with an awesome riff, and lyrics about being haunted at night by a witch he saw

burn at the stake, that he loved. So catchy though. The title track of the album, has a great fucking riff, a great hook, and fantastic lyrics.

The thing about these guys is, as simple as the songs are, you kind of feel like you're in medieval times if you allow your mind

to drift with the music. They build that kind of atmosphere and vibe, screaming WITCHES ON FIRE! It's brilliant, really.

Crazy Woman is a more upbeat song, with a chorus of "She will never let you down, she can wrap her legs around a snake," which is a fucking

fantastic line. These guys are raw, and have the right grooves. Open Casket starts with a riff similar to that Symptom Of The Universe by Black Sabbath,

it is quite a great headbanger. Catching a hint of Venom here. Death Of A Sorver is kind of similar to Candlemass, with softer medieval parts

but played a bit more folky. It's a great song, one of my favourites on the record. At The Blacksmiths almost sounds like an outtake from

Black Sabbath's 1970 debut album. Its a heavy bluesy doomy smoke filled riff. Howling (At The World) is another example of a great riff and a groove.

This production is so raw it's lovely, and damning. When this album came out, they opened for Electric Wizard, and you can see the fitting of the bill.

Marty Mayhem And The Liabilities-Live At The Rifle EP

Marty Mayhem And The Liabilites are a band that formed out of the ashes of the glam punk rock n roll band, The Smokin' Prophets. Marty and the band split, due to creative differences. Marty, the frontman, and lead guitarist of this three piece Punk Rock N' Roll band are phenomenal. The EP is Live, at The Rifle, at their first gig. It's four new tracks, which are in a different direction than the Prophets, but still retains the spirit. It's a bit darker, and real, on songs like Am I A Ghost, sings of being an outcast. It sounds more mature than the prophets, less glammy. They are a powerhouse live band, raw, and real. Marty has really come a long way, from being Lead Guitarist/songwriter in Hollywood Trash, to being a great frontman. No ego, and a serious, talented, amazing musician, singer, and frontman. His voice is like a raspy, pissed off Johnny Thunders, and a hint of Kurt Cobain. This band, for this being their first live gig, are tight as hell. The so

I sat down with D”Priest and discussed the beginning of his tenure in the band and Londons future. When did you decide you wanted to sing in a rock n roll band?

Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats-The Night Creeper review

The Night Creeper, by Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats, is their third record, and it shows them progressing. And its fucking fantastic. It has the riffs and vibes of Black Sabbath, with haunting vocals, and a sense of melody that most Stoner Doom Metal bands lack. There are hooks, and dark vibes. It's incindiary. And if anybody doubts their legitimacy, they opened for Black Sabbath on the UK leg of their last tour, which in Doom, that's a hell of a endorsement. They don't copy Sabbath, they put their own dark, melodic spin on the genre. This record is absolutely phenomenal, dark, abysmal, eerie, and filled with incredible freakin riffs. With lyrics that are reminscent of old school b movie horror films, they create an atmosphere that literally makes you feel like you are walking down a dark alley in the cold English rain. With songs like Waiting For Blood, Pusher Man, and the title track, slow, sludgeing Sabbath-esgue riffs, Iron Maiden like guitar harmonies, a
