The UK based occult doom entity DEAD WITCHES– the band founded by Mark Greening (Ramesses, ex-Electric Wizard, With The Dead) – return with their sophomore album release. (more…)
The Glitter is Back… CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC presents the Vinyl and CD Reissue of ‘The Glitter of Infinite Hell‘. Originally released in 2017, the album was long sold out in physical format.
For those patient dwellers of the heavy subterranean purgatory – you now have hope! On March 5th, the gates were opened again. ‘The Glitter of Infinite Hell‘ reissue for 2020 is offered in three formats – two Gatefold Double Album options: the Super Limited “Helloween II” Splatter Vinyl Edition and the Limited Color-In-Color Splatter Vinyl Edition, as well as the Limited Edition Compact Disc.
4 Songs, 4 Sides, 75 Minutes of Hell-Bound Metal for your Doom on and on and on pleasure.
CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC formed in Brooklyn, New York in 2013. These Post-Doom instrumentalists have steadily built a reputation as one of the few truly great DIY riff-heavy underground bands playing today. Patiently and deliberately developing a unique sound that melds riff-dominated Stoner Rock with Heavy Doom, their live show is a multi-sensory atmospheric display, offering a true experience and companion to their albums.

The band celebrated its fifth year anniversary in 2018 by releasing ‘In Search of Heavy‘, a four CD Box Set, which quickly sold out. In 2019, the band has retained solid footing without falter, achieving the bold goal of releasing two albums in one year. ‘Evil Eye‘ on April 30th (Walpurgis Eve), and ‘Second Sight‘ on October 31st (Halloween). We have no doubt that for 2020, this band has only just begun to stoke the flames of perdition…

Pummeling, pulverizing, punishingly dense stoner doom…there’s nothing like it, huh? Especially when presented as “intoxicating party sludge” by the band themselves, in this case the UK’s BONGCAULDRON. The band will be releasing their new studio effort “Binge” on November 30th via APF Records. (more…)

My friend Jim Forrester, affectionately known by the name Rev. Jim, was murdered by strangers while talking on the phone with his wife outside of his work at The Tattoo Museum in Baltimore City. Jim was former bassist for Sixty Watt Shaman, currently of Foghound and Serpents of Secrecy.
There is also a benefit show tonight at Cafe 611 & Guido’s Speakeasy, located on N Market St, Frederick, Maryland. This event will feature 13 bands on 2 separate stages. All proceeds go to his family.
There is a significant and growing reward for information leading to the arrest of his killers. The Church of Satan’s philosophy advocates Lex Talionis, the law of retribution. Justice will be served when his killers are punished to the full extent of the law.
