Cathedral – The Garden of Unearthly Delights – Review

April 21, 2006

This is an awesome, eclectic, mature record, and it’s clear that the band enjoys pushing their playing, writing, and arranging skills as far as they’ll go.

Bent Outta Shape – Stray Dog Town – Review

April 21, 2006

April 21, 2006

Grand Magus – Wolf’s Return – Review

April 21, 2006

The Abominable Iron Sloth – Review

April 14, 2006

Members of Will Haven and Oddman playing sludge metal like EyeHateGod. Screamo vocals, trudging riffery, and the odd d-tuned swing of an ogre lumbering along.
