Ancestors - In Dreams And Time (2012)

1.- Whispers 9:10

2.- The Last Return 6:15

3.- Corryvreckan 12:08

4.- On The Wind 9:31 

5.- Running In Circles 9:44

6.- First Light 19:19

Monumental new album of Ancestors. The perfect culmination to its career so far. This "In Dreams And Time" is more progressive and epic than ever, and displays some of their influences widely, Pink Floyd would be a good example this. From the cover art untill the last second of the magnificent "First Light" we are in front of an outstanding piece of music, that surely will be between the best albums of this 2012. Enjoy it!

Kadavar - Kadavar (2012)

1 All Our Thoughts
2. Black Sun
3 Forgotten Past 
4 Goddess Of Dawn
5 Creature of the Demon
6 Purple Sage

In spite of its questionable vintage look, they are a current band! And what a band! they now how to sound like 70´s, and they do it more than well. Rock, some of traditional doom and psychedelia, following the stream of bands like Graveyard or Witchcraft with the best quality possible. A safe bet if you like that kind of delights. Enjoy it!

Arbouretum - The Gathering (2011)

1.- The White Bird

2.- When Delivery Comes

3.- Destroying To Save

4.- The Highwayman

5.- Waxing Crescents

6.- The Empty Shell

7.- Song Of The NIle

8.- Poseida (bonus track)

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!

Widowland - Widowland (2011)

01. Firehouse 3:29
02. Kaleidoscope 6:38
03. Labyrinth 9:07
04. Volcano 5:46
05. Myth 5:33
06. Orthodox 5:01

Another excelent album for the new year. The whole album is awsome, combining the doom and stoner parts perfectly with some other heavy moments (Maiden´s spirit prowling around). It has a sort of swedish style as bands as Witchcraft, but they come from Russia! Really good discovery, don´t let it go!
