Check some more great shit at Doomloads!
Three piece band formed in Perth, Australia in 2006.
This is their first and only release to date.
Instrumental Sludge/Doom at his best.
Crude, Raw and Crushing as fuck.
Highly recommended!
"Relics, is without a doubt, a record for pure Sleep and Electric Wizard fans. Brutal low end howls, bad ass bass driven bowel moving crushing riffs, thick heavy pummelling drums and a dirty heavy fuck off fuzz that would destroy speakers in seconds when cranked to 11."

Cheers to Stonerobixxx for this one!
Guitar/drums duo formed in Belgium in 2006.
This one is their first full-lenght.
Instrumental Stoner/Doom at his best.
Much recommended.
"We're pretty skeptical of the two man band, a lot of the time we end up wishing a bass/drums duo just had a guitarist, or that a guitar/drums duo had some more low end. There are of course exceptions : Godheadsilo, Om, Ruins, and you can now add Belgian duo Sardonis to the list. The latest blast of kick ass heaviness from MeteorCity. So Sardonis are a guitar and drums duo from Belgium, who traffic in epic, heaving, monstrous instrumental metal, equal parts classic stoner rock, old school doom and post rock/post metal or whatever you call it. Needless to say, you won't even notice the lack of bass here, the sound is massive, the low end crushing, and the riffs killer. We'll be the first to admit that instrumental rock can definitely get boring, often sounding like it's unfinished, where you're constantly expecting the vocals to kick in at any minute, but Sardonis solve that problem by crafting super catchy songs that are as much about texture and timbre and mood as they are about rhythm and riffery. Slipping from slow motion lurching crush, to wild frantic blasting, to woozy meandery drift, to full on Sabbathy dirge, this is some seriously heavy, seriously atmospheric shit, the chords not always predictable, the melodies veering of into strange directions, the band sometimes locking into totally mesmerizing trancelike jams, but just as often, exploding into bursts of in-the-red downtuned psychedelia. It's hard to say exactly what it is about these guys, it's a little bit of everything, some sort of alchemy between the two, and their ability to conjure these songs, riffs, this tone, the overall sound, whatever it is, it fucking rules, and we find ourselves unable to stop listening. Which is always a good sign..."
