Orquesta Del Desierto – Review

October 4, 2002

Featuring members of Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Goatsnake, and Fatso Jetson, this thing is full of acoustic guitars, horn sections, and mellowness.

Nebula – Dos E.P.s – Review

September 20, 2002

Dos E.P.s compiles eight songs (remastered and remixed for this re-release) from out-of-print EPs on MeteorCity and Man’s Ruin, plus three new songs.

Eternal Elysium – Share – Review

July 5, 2002

This is one heavy band. Fully-rounded groove to kick-ass action with plenty of big, whopping blues rock underpinnings, rhythmic propulsion and guitar sustain.

March 15, 2002

Lowrider – Ode To Io – Review

September 1, 2000

These guys owe much of their sonic palette and most of their procedural structure to the gods of desert thunder, Kyuss.
