4.- The Highwayman

Very interesting record, the fourth one of the band. Nice mix of slow stonerized rock, folk and psychedelia, all of it wrapped in the caractheristic voice of  Dave Heumann. The record is inspired in The Red Book of Carl Jung and it really has "something" that hooks you up. Don´t let it go!

3.- Eat, Sleep, Homicide

Hatred, rawness and sonic violence. A perfect mixture between old school punk/hardcore and sludge. Think about Ratos De Porâo, Okkultokrati, Rwake, Ramesses... mix them, shake them, and you´ll get this spawn! Brutal!

Sky Shadow Obelisk - Una Lux Una Sonas EP (2011)

1. Colony Collapse 12:32
2. Una Lux Una Sonas 10:22
3. Dead Star Valley 09:34

Second EP of these death/doomers. A good mix between down-tempos with rythms closer to old school death (Colony Collapse) and some doom/drone soundscapes (Dead Star Valley). Interesting work, although it is only 3 songs, each other diferent, but it makes itself a bit short. We´ll keep watching this band.
