Black Elk - s/t

Black Elk - self-titled (2006)


Sludge/hardcore from Portland, OR. Very noisy, very intense. Good music to get drunk to, I assure you.

Men in Search of the Perfect Weapon - s/t

Men in Search of the Perfect Weapon - self-titled (2005)


Sludge metal from Leipzig, Germany. Somewhat lo-fi production. Lots of heaviness interspersed with acoustic/mellow bits. Sadly, they are broken up now.

Amenra - Mass III

Amenra - Mass III (2008)



Post-metal/hardcore/sludge from Kortrijk, Belgium. Vocals are a very unique sounding shriek, and the tracks run together into a cohesive whole.

Spenking - s/t

Spencer Kingman - Spenking (200?)


Folk by a lone guy, whose name is Spencer Kingman. Pretty sure he's from somewhere in America? Sort of nasally, whiny yet endearing vocals over an acoustic guitar.

Tarpit - There Is Nothing After Extinction

Tarpit - There Is Nothing After Extinction (2008)


Super-heavy sludge metal from Aberdeen, MD. Very low production quality, with lyrics and song-titles mostly about dinosaurs, including the dread Andrewsarchus.

Orchid - Chaos is Me

Orchid - Chaos is Me (1998)


Screamo from Amherst, MA. This album is, as one very tall falafel addict said to me before I edited this post, "an aural clusterfuck."

Indian Summer - Science

Indian Summer - Science (1994)


Emo/screamo from Oakland, CA. This record was really influential in the creation of the loud/soft dynamic of certain types of later screamo, particularly (in my opinion) City of Caterpillar and Envy. Vocals are whispered one minute and screamed the next. Behind all this, a Bessie Smith record crackles.

Isthmus - Landbridge

Isthmus - Landbridge (2008)


Proggy-sludge metal from Baltimore, MD. Inspired by the likes of King Crimson, Magma, Neurosis and Isis. Very technically oriented, with black metal-esque shrieks and lyrics about the phenomena of space.
