THE PRODIGY - HOTRIDE
Video-clip by Daniel Levi for The Prodigy
http://happydanny.com + www.myspace.com/theprodigy

This video was rejected by the band...
Liam Howlett : "I thought the song deserved a more intelligent video and not one that was shocking 4 the sake of it. We already made the best ever video like that with smbu. Nothing wrong with violence as long as there is a point."

SLUDGE - Scarecrow messiah - 2000
www.myspace.com/sludgedoomers


Download it for free on their Last.fm

First album of this Swiss Sludge/Doom/Hardcore band formed in the early nineties. Recorded by themselves in their rehearsal room in the end of 1999, then mixed by Fredrik Nordström. Scarecrow Messiah still remains my favourite one, although their last albums sound really evil too.

BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS - Self Titled - 2008
http://www.myspace.com/sadhusonofabitch


Download

They are from Germany. And they are great.
Formed in 2005.

"Nexus", the centre of something, or a connection, as any dictionary will tell you. Appropriately for Black Shape Of Nexus as the suffocating heaviness of their music functions either way - they can be the centre of your worst nightmares or the connection to all those dark places where you don’t ever want to go. Or both. Pummelling you with painfully slow doom and finishing you off with acrid, harsh drones, B·SON give down-tempo a whole new meaning."

www.myspace.com/prolyphicandreanimator

Download

First release of Sage Francis label.

Great feeturings inside :

Sage Francis, B. Dolan, Alias...

Definitely recommended!

"In 2005 Sage Francis initiated this marriage of beats and rhymes by connecting a multi-talented producer (Reanimator) in Chicago with a highly skilled lyricist (Prolyphic) from his hometown of Providence. Their unique talents and special ingredients simmered for 3 years, which mixed the best of both worlds"

Sage's first album.
Great classics inside, like :
Crack pipes, Personal journalist, Climb trees...
Absolute must-have!

"A white guy from Rhode Island decided to rap about his personal life as form of therapy and lyrical inspiration. The result is an album full of razor wit, brutal honesty, clever wordplay, and memorable beats (courtesy of Joe Beats, among others). As he describes himself, "Sage Francis. Anti-socialite. Secret Admirer. Student Loaner. Continental Drifter. Professional Bootlegger. Spin Doctor. Self Referentialist. Road Runner. Personal Journalist."

Thanks to Stonerobixxx!
(password : robixxx)

Stoner/Drone/Doom from San Francisco (USA).
Sounds like a mix between Electric Wizard and Yob.
Absolute must-have!

"Songs start small, with single notes, delay pedal musings, and minimal figures. These gestures generate answers, which yield synchronicity, addition, and momentum. Before you know it, you are six minutes into a song, and it is crushing your pelvis and tear-gassing your face."

SAMOTHRACE - Life's trade - 2008
www.myspace.com/samothraceproject

Download

Sludge/Doom from the USA.
Loud as fuck!
You have to get this one into your collection.

"Despondent and post-apocalyptic, Samothrace’s debut album, Life’s Trade delivers doom that is raw, emotional and captivating. Thick, slowly driving riffs swallow the listener whole, enveloping them in a shroud of dark, yet comforting bleakness. While vocalist Bryan Spinks screams and growls in the distance, southern tinged, Allman Brothers-like solos tear at your every heart string. Throughout this stellar album you’ll find moments of clarity, melancholy and crushing power."

HABSYLL - mmviii - 2009
www.myspace.com/habsyll

Download

Drone/Doom from France.
Two songs for about 40 minutes of absolute drone terror.

"Unbelievably heavy and slow amplifier overload! Two long tracks of uber-doom which is seemingly devoid of any coherant structure and exists only to open up a black void in your stereo speakers through which to suck out your very soul. Habsyll sound to me like a less happy-go-lucky Khanate, or Monarch without the hipster irony. Totally morbid!"

SUMA - Let the churches burn - 2006
www.myspace.com/sumanoise

Download

Swedish doomers.
Absolute must-have!

"Pretty much the definition of slaying for days, Let The Churches Burn, an 8 track LP from Swedish sludge metal unknowns Suma, is on par with a viking breaking into your house, pillaging your shit, raping your women and stomping on your face. And the worst part? He didn't even wipe his fucking feet at the door."
