The Atomic Bitchwax – 3 – Review

October 28, 2005

Jam rock without the jamming parts, a collection of cool-sounding stuff that doesn’t really cohere into anything memorable or captivating.

Hermano – Dare I Say – Review

June 13, 2005

Guys from Supafuzz, Earshot, and Orquestra del Desierto link up with Mr. John Garcia, who peddled his wares in Kyuss, Sloburn, and Unida. All great rock units.

Black Nasa – Deuce – Review

December 29, 2004

Resumes include Godspeed, Atomic Bitchwax, Scene Killer, Gallery of Mites… Y’know, ’70s rocker stuff, proto metal, grunge, and greasy Southern ID’d stuff.

Orquesta del Desterto – Dos – Review

June 21, 2004

Massed acoustic guitars, soulful vocals (Stahl is one of the best in the scene), and melodies that evoke the beautiful, wide-open swirl of a desert sunset.

Spirit Caravan – The Last Embrace – Review

March 8, 2004

A two-disc odds’n’sods compilation existing mostly to make available the tracks from the two out-of-print full-length albums, Jug Fulla Sun and Elusive Truth.

I Am Vengeance – Review

February 22, 2002

This soundtrack works threefold; as a sampler of classicist doom-rooted metal, as a complement to the film, and as a listenable disc from horns to tail.

Blind Dog – The Last Adventures of Captain Dog – Review

June 1, 2001

Hard and heavy first offering from a combo who sits between the orthodox post-Kyuss reality of groove-riding molten metal and regenerated kickass rock.

The Quill – Review

June 1, 2000

Straight organic metal bridging ’70s hard rock structure, ’80s clarity and punch, and ’90s editing flow and power.

Eternal Elysium – Spiritualized – Review

June 1, 2000

Like Solarized, Eternal Elysium heard all those Hendrix, Santana, Frank Marino records everyone’s cool uncle had, but it didn’t fuck ’em up.

Unida – Dozer – The Best of Wayne-Gro – Review

September 1, 1999

Four tracks by Unida, a band which includes Sloburn/Kyuss singer John Garcia. Unida doesn’t have the greasy groove side as much as the bludgeoning groove side.
