2008-02-02 03:15:18 by Kimberly Chun in SFBG: Noise
...sludgy soothsaying, in support of their just-released mindwarper In The Future (Jagjaguwar). If you've ever been known to hanker for end-is-nigh chug-a-ramas and sci-fi lullabies, bust out that wallet, buck: these crazed Canadians are onto something magnificently mighty Let's get the inevitable out of the way, shall we? Stoner rock - there, I...

...sludgy feel to the music), and a mix between both that sounds a bit similar to those on System of a Down and to Maynard James Keenan (Tool and A Perfect Circle). Terraforming tends to show a more eclectic experimental feel to it rather than the normal progressive metal that other bands of the same genre do The first song Amputees Make Bad...

Live Review: Fucking Orange and Madraso at 3 Kings Tavern

The Article has images
2008-07-14 07:48:25 by Dave Herrera in Backbeat Online
...sludgy, wannabe experimental heavy rock show Because there was some issue with a couple of touring bands getting to the venue late (I think one of them ultimately did turn up), the show started a little late, but it didnt make the show feel like it was dragging out. Madraso, a three-piece post-hardcore type of band from Seattle, kicked the...

PELICAN - City Of Echoes (2007)

2008-08-31 02:59:32 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...sludgy, but it still crushes. Complex interwoven guitar lines feature in the heaviness too, so it's not just a non stop heavy onslaught. Winds With Hands is the acoustic track. Very Dark in nature and a few really interesting twists too boot. The rest of the album is also very good, and not a single track I would skip either The Recording...

...sludgy hardcore I guess Towers MySpace.com - towers - PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania - Punk - www.myspace.com/toweringsound Who hasn't heard of these dudes.

Jesu - Lifeline (2007)

2007-12-23 13:11:40 by Editor in Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews
 
...sludgy melodic approach here as he did with the album and gives us 4 more great tracks The title track is the first and it really opens the EP up. But I found "You Wear Their Masks" to be the best track on the EP. Jarboe (Swans) lends her lyrics and voice to "Storm Comin On", giving us a nice break from Broadrick's monochromatic vocals. I...

Herbie enriches Joni

2007-10-13 15:58:43 by Jazz beyond Jazz in Jazz Beyond Jazz
 
...sludgy mix, 1994) have been painful. In live concerts I've caught in recent years Herbie has quite often been boring, vague, unable to catch fire or hold attentions -- unforgivable jazz sins. But on River: The Joni Letters his touch, choices and nuances seem limitless and inviting. The music is languid as still water or slow clouds, but it...

Over The (Long) Weekend ... Sleeper Horse and Kingdom of Magic @hi-dive

2007-12-26 08:43:15 by HASH0x896eebc in Backbeat Online
...sludgy metal that breaks bones with the slow tension of a vice rather than the rapid blows of a hammer, but Fairchild, Ramirez and Rogers played with a precision and proficiency that is often lacking among the stoner-rock legions. The trio only has a handful of songs in its repertoire including the mind-blowing On the Wings of the Mighty...

MINSK - The Ritual Fires of Abandonment (2007) [rated 5/5 by 1978]

2007-12-29 06:09:05 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Sludgy sound of Neurosis mixed with clima of the old, psychedelic rock, coldness of Joy Division, post-rock and krautrock. Saxophone borrowed from John Zorn (in two tracks), acoustic, tribal percussion and fantastic vocals sometimes more similar to Scott Kelly (Neurosis), sometimes to Glenn Danzig. The Ritual Fires Of Abandonment are great...
