For those who’d go exploring, the World in Sound back catalog provides considerable terrain to cover. Though their contemporary work with acts like The Flying Eyes, Samsara Blues Experiment, Doctor Cyclops, Prisma Circus, etc., is exemplary, a whole other side of the German imprint is dedicated to rereleasing albums of the original psychedelic era, circa-’68 […]
It’s a big world and there’s a lot to review in it, so I won’t do much to delay. This time around covers both coasts of the US as well as Europe and even Australia, proving once again that heavy knows no borders and seems to be at home wherever it goes. It’s a pretty […]
Second week in a row I’m trying this, since the universe didn’t seem to collapse on itself after the first one — unless you count how bad I fucked up lineups; they’re fixed now. Once again we cover some pretty wide ground geographically and stylistically (also alphabetically!), so let’s get to it: Buddha Sentenza, South […]
Heavy stuff from all over the world. These have all been available for a little bit, and I’ve included audio and links as much as possible.

One doesn’t even have to get through the nine-minute entirety […]
You could sit down five times to try to describe Caustic Casanova‘s sound and come up with five completely different takes. And that’s why it’s fun. Unpredictable in their post-grunge, noise-rock-informed, heavy indie individualism, the now-four-piece will issue Glass Enclosed Nerve Center, their new full-length, on Oct. 7 through Magnetic Eye Records. It’s their second album for the […]
The Obelisk Questionnaire is a series of open questions intended to give the answerer an opportunity to explore these ideas and stories from their life as deeply as they choose. Answers can be short or long, and that reveals something in itself, but the most important factor is honesty. Based on the Proust Questionnaire, the […]
Well, this is where we hit and pass the halfway point. It’s been a good week so far. Busy, but good. I hope you’ve found something that you dig or agree with or whatnot. I know it’s kind of hard to dig through 10 releases at once, but even if you see cover art that […]
