Bron Allmusicquote:Church of Misery may very well be the undisputed (and unchallenged) kings of Japanese stoner/doom. But that's not just because they're competition is so limited. These disciples of sludge earned plenty of credibility with their first two releases, Taste the Pain and Church of Misery, so it wasn't a surprise when Yoshiaki Negisi (vocals), Tomohiro Nishimura (guitars), Tatsu Mikami (bass), and Junji Narita (drums) dropped the supremely heavy EP Master of Brutality.
Recordings that feature music this slow and thick rely completely on the groove capacity of the musicians involved. The riffs simply must be charged with an essence that's difficult to describe but immediately recognizable to aficionados of stoner/doom.
When done right, a certain timelessness comes into affect. It's as if metal never wandered so far away from its simplistic, psychedelic roots -- as if this wasn't just another subgenre in what has become an incredibly segmented form. There's plenty of said magic and ability on Master of Brutality, as each of the five original tracks (that just as with prior Church of Misery releases are each based on different serial killers) pound mercilessly through repetitive, yet sublime stoner figures. There are no high or low spots, no weak tracks to be avoided, or embarrassing experiments. On this 2001 Southern Lord release there are just six (including one Blue Öyster Cult cover) relentless, sonic clubbings.
Any serious fan of low and slow metal has a hole in their collection until they acquire Master of Brutality
quote:Call It whatever you like - stoner rock, desert rock, doom rock, just plain old rock and you come up with the best rock and roll created by the best bands currently busting their ass to bring you their sounds. This music is a blend of the best of 70's rock and roll with modern experimental riffs and beats. This is what makes 'stoner/doom rock' the best underground music scene since the 'Seattle' scene hit.

De jongens van Amen Ra, Europa's meest intense heavy sludgeband, hebben net de release van het debuut Mass II achter de rug. Dit werk, uitgebracht op Hypertension Records (Red Sparowes, Starkweather), is een van de meest mindblowing en overweldigende debuut-albums van 2006. De persreviews zijn unaniem lovend. Live slaagt de band erin alles en iedereen omver te blazen met hun door merg-en-been snijdende monsterriffs.

De nieuwe van Nick O. heb ik een tijd geleden al gehoord maar daar is weinig stoner aan.
Ik had 'm nog niet gehoord, maar daar gaat zeker verandering in komen.quote:After listening to the first release by Queens of the Stone Age after the ousting of bassist Nick Oliveri, 2005's Lullabies to Paralyze, you couldn't help but wonder where the cajones of the previous releases went. After a nationwide search, they've finally been found — on Oliveri's 2006 release (credited to Nick Oliveri and Mondo Generator), Dead Planet: Sonicslowmotiontrails. Backing Oliveri on the tracks are some of his Palm Desert pals, as well as the U.K. duo Winnebago Deal, and the results are, well, quite impressive. For those who assumed that Josh Homme was the major force behind QOTSA, Oliveri proves once and for all that he was much more of a contributor than many had believed. While Oliveri's strong suit will always be punk metal freakouts (represented here by such thrashers as "Basket Case," "All Systems Go," and the lead-off single, "I Never Sleep"), there is also some variety. In addition to punk metal, you get good, old-fashioned, ass-kicking rock & roll ("All the Way Down"), twisted riff rock ("Like a Bomb"), an acoustic tune straight out of a spaghetti western ("Take Me Away"), and a bouncy new wave ditty ("Paper Thin"). And as always, beneath all the rage, Oliveri has a knack for melody, as evidenced by "She Only Owns You" and a re-recording of an earlier Mondo classic, "So High." Also of note is "Lie Detector," whose stop-start riff bares a resemblance to "Someone's in the Wolf," off of Lullabies (or vice versa — the jury is out as to who originally wrote what). A fine album — easily the finest Mondo/Oliveri release yet. But one thing is obvious — if you combine the highlights from Lullabies and Dead Planet, you get one helluva album — and the real successor to Songs for the Deaf.

We believe them, that they have found the space. But they didn't get lost there maybe due to their stoner background. The stuff is not not too heavy and has a great diversity. Like most spacerock records the tracks are between 6 and 8 minutes long.
