Arc Of Ascent - Circle Of the Sun Vinyl LP
In December 1999 New Zealand's DATURA, one of Australasia's most promising Acid-Stoner-doom bands split up. After releasing the amazing "Visions for the Celestial" the band trailed of into oblivion never to be seen again, only Craig Williamson, the bass player & vocalists survived....continuing alone as one of the country's best known psychedelic artifacts LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE. In 2008, feeling the need to get back into a more "heavy stoner acid rock" direction Williamson formed ARC OF ASCENT, recruiting firstly Guitarist Matt Cole-Baker and then Drummer John Strange to complete the line-up. "Circle of the Sun" is the bands debut album and continues onwards almost exactly where Daturas "Visions" left off. The heaviness is still present, but there is an added otherworldly texture dwelling inside, the guitars are dense and direct in feel -with an Egyptian sounding slant to Matt Cole-Bakers cosmic solos, the drumming powerful, solid and dynamic...and Williamson's "Eastern" vibes raise their head in almost every song, vocally, with the extra exotic instruments he brings to the table, and the music he has written for the group. Titles such as "Universal Form" & "Cosmic Eye" re-enforce the eastern-mystic feel the band creates, lyrically recalling Williamson's Lamp of the Universe style, blending almost seamlessly with the majestic heaviness and trippy interludes that the band creates...Take a hit, re-call your inner light, and enjoy the sound of a new beginning....the time is now...

Doctor Cyclops - Borgofondo Vinyl LPPsych injected blues based retro-doom! The band is Doctor Cyclops and they kick ass! Think Black Sabbath, Witchcraft, Graveyard and even a little Siena Root.
Official Bio:
Doctor Cyclops is a seventies-style power trio playing heavy rock music inspired by a vintage sound, eldest son of glorious Black Sabbath and of other more underground heroes from the 70's and early 80's such as Truth and Janey, Sir Lord Baltimore, Captain Beyond, Witchfinder General. Even later and more modern references are warm-vintage style ones: Witchcraft, Firebird, Cathedral, Spiritual Beggars just to say some.
The project was born in 2007 in Oltrepo in a small village called Bosmenso, in the middle of the Appennino mountains. A place where winters are long and quite often really cold. Former members are Christian Draghi (guitar and vocals) and Francesco Filippini (bass), childhood friends who try to push by with their passionate love for music and good riffs. Doctor Cyclops’ music is an obscure kind of heavy old style rock, its groove made by a miscellaneous heap mix of influences, which go from the progressive to the doom stuff played with a raw and dusty wish.

Datura - Visions For The Celestial Vinyl LPFollowing the bands globally acclaimed 1998 debut album 'Allisone'. This is the eagerly awaited follow-up featuring some powerfull blasts of PSYCHEDELIC STONER ROCK, laying to rest the comparisons with Monster Magnet and Kyuss, thus created their own kind of HEAVY BASS GROOVES and PSYCHEDELIC ROCK. On this record you will find a 15 minutes track alled "Mantra" which convinces you, that the realm of psychedelic has a border with the stoner kingdom, where all the monsters live. Visions... is a cosmic stoner groove bliss-out at its very best and sees the band carving out their own sound and vision. Slower Sabbath soaked rhythms and tranced out psychedelics permeate the album throughout bridging the gap between metal and acid rock in ways not done before.

Killer artwork!
Ilsa - Tutti Il Colori Del Buio Vinyl LPA rotten slab of vile, crusty doom/death filth! Hailing from Washington, DC, ILSA deliver 9 tracks, clocking in at 40 minutes, of blown out, severely down-tuned, crust-injected death-doom. The album has been remastered for vinyl by James Plotkin for total abyssic heaviness. Parallels can be drawn to early Bolt Thrower, Paradise Lost, Axegrinder, later Anti-Cimex(think Scandinavian Jawbreaker era), Autopsy, and Winter. Disgusting horror reigns.

Jaguar - Axe Crazy In Holland 2xLP Vinyl...Once again a killer release has surfaced that especially is cool for Dutch, and in particular the older, fans ...a double LP called ‘Axe Crazy In Holland’ with recordings of the show Jaguar did on December 17th, 1982 at the Siesta Club in Hengelo. These recordings withstood the test of time really well, but they do sound quite raw. Nothing wrong with that because songs like ‘Dutch Connection’, ‘Backstreet Woman’, ‘Stormchild’, ‘War Machine’, ‘Cold Heart’ and ‘Axe Crazy’ will give you goose bumps even if you weren’t born at that time or weren’t part of the fanatical Dutch crowd that attended this show and completely embraced this band back in the day. This live album simply is a cool document about an important but somewhat underestimated NWOBHM-act. ---lordsofmetal

Lamp Of The Universe - Echo In Light Vinyl LPLamp Of The Universe, from New Zealand plays the kind of music you might imagine hearing while laying on your back in some far away garden. Each song has it's own distinct, trippy vibe, but they all flow together with amazing ease. Featuring a strong melody sung in Craig Williamson's typically blissed out, smiling voice, some of the deepest wah-wahed guitar I've ever heard, coupled with waves of trippy organ and a graceful, fluid rhythm pounded out on the skins. Combine it with swirling, bubbling liquid synth effects and tambourine psychedelic, bluesy guitar swirls around mystical piano, trancey drumming, and spacey effects in a dazzling, cosmically mellow jam that will have you floating away on gentle waves into the starry night. Lay back, and let your mind and soul wander. Totally cosmic!

Lamp Of The Universe - The Cosmic Union Vinyl LPLamp of the Universe is a gorgeously lulling cosmic trip into a paisley colored psychedelic land of celestial ragas from Craig Williamson's (Datura, Arc Of Ascent) guitars, sitar, synths, and tablas. We're talking track titles like "Lotus Of A Thousand Petals" and "Tantra Asana". Believe me, these describe the music on The Cosmic Union perfectly. Lightly strumming acoustic guitars and sitars drift throughout as the tablas and other percussion keep a simple but effective psychedelic pace. Williamson's vocals are equally light and drifting making for the perfect marriage with his music. Lots of beautifully meandering jams that will open your mind for exploring the alternate realms that you travel with Williamson to. There are aggressive moments too, particularly on "In The Mystic Light" which sounds like a jam off Amon Dti album. And love that organ and shimmering guitar on "Freedom In Your Mind".

Pagan Altar - The Lords Of Hypocrisy 2xLP Vinyl"This album is so good on so many levels, it's hard to know where to start and it's hard not to use huge grandiose adjectives. Over the top, yet not cheesy. Fantastic, yet brutally honest. Poetic, yet direct. Heavy, yet restrained as hell. Dynamic, yet completely cohesive. Classic and timeless. Heavy fucking metal, rock and fucking roll - the way it should be done. This goes way up there next to Rainbow, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Zeppelin releases in my book." ---- glenhetfield/Metal-Archives

Crushing....

Witchfynde - Royal William Live Sacrifice Vinyl LPWhere were you in 79' when the dam began to burst? Well...Tonight you are transported back to the Royal William Pub in Ipswich to a dark,smoke filled ,ale soaked venue for a pre Give Em Hell gig with the arcane occult masters Witchfynde.
Ten songs including all of the first album (minus Ready to Roll) with Steve Bridges on vocals and showcasing Montalo's amazing and criminally underrated axe work (Including the first ever live rendition of Gettin"Heavy!). Additional songs are the never before recorded Why Dontcha?...The most raging track they ever did and Twilight Lady, a mysterious epic in the vein of Leaving Nadir and Unto the Ages...utterly amazing in its dark atmosphere as is the whole gig. The show finishes off with the Sabbath's Paranoid and the gig is done.
Warning: This is not a soundboard recording and there are drop ins on Give Em Hell and Leaving Nadir and a rougher sound throughout. While a invaluable treasure to us, those with sensitive ears or weak constitutions should avoid. Pure magic for those who still believe!
