Heavy Baby Sea Slugs have made an EP here that gets better with each listen and you will find something a little bit different with every time you put it on.

With their latest release ‘II’ Monarch offshoot Endless Floods have released an album almost as bleak as the times in which it finds itself in. We caught up with the Bordeaux doom-mongers to ask a few questions.

Weltesser know how to write riffs, horrid, off kilter riffs that have a real unsettling quality. ‘Crestfallen’ is fucking awesome!

Endless Floods play a minimal, tectonic brand of doom that borders on drone-like ambience, seeped in melancholy, grief and anguish. With ‘II’ they push at the edges of what doom can do – and set a high bar for the genre in 2017.

I met Julia a few years ago when she was drumming in Throne, she’s awesome. These days, she’s tub thumbing in two very different acts, Casual Nun and Grave Lines who have both smashed Cosmic Carnage this year. Here’s what’s going on inside her thinker.

Lower Slaughter came and played our SMASH IT OUT all dayer at the Windmill back in August. They were so awesome I picked up Barney the bassist and threw him, we liked them so much we invited them back for headline show at the Unicorn in November which was also fucking awesome. Here’s Barney’s thoughts.

We met Taz two years ago when Undersmile played one of our gigs with Slomatics at the Windmill. We were shocked to see Undersmile broke up this year but this was cushioned by just how awesome Taz and Olly’s new band Drore are, FUCKING HEAVY! Here’s what she had to say for herself on all things 2016.

Steve Myles is in the bands Cattle, Groak and Clenstch as well as being part of the collective that runs the CHUNK! venue in Leeds. We grabbed a few of his precious minutes to talk about the year he’s had.

Ghold have had an insane year, touring with Bongripper, a performance at Incubate and we were so fucking chuffed when they agreed to headline one of our shows under a church in Camberwell. Let’s find out what’s going on in Aleks’s mind.

Christmas comes early for Hey Colossus fans in this thunderous collection of rare tracks.

2016 may well go down in history as one of humanity’s worst ever years. Not so for Khemmis, whose sophomore album manages to improve on its predecessor while retaining its core elements.

Kunal not only plays in one of the the most ferocious bands on the planet but also runs killer DIY label called Superfi Records which continues to churn out intense release after intense release. Here’s what he has to say for himself.

A record of just blasting fierceness, disdain, and a general kick in the pants to these miserable times.

Spore Lord | Facebook | Bandcamp Spore Lord arrive with their debut album In the Beginning, containing eight tracks of psychedelic-tinged doom metal, the album features mammoth riffs and grooves straight out of the 70s. The ban …

The world is not short on instrumental stoner/metal bands. Do we really need another one? With ‘In the Beginning’ Spore Lord make a compelling case that yes, we absolutely do.

It’s a pissed off, explosive album with a rare uniformity and a well-maintained standard of absolute excellence.

Sander van den Driesche caught up with Conjurer bassist Andy Price at Damnation Festival to chat about all things Conjurer, their upcoming album, spiders and of course, biscuits.

Sander van den Driesche sat down with Johannes Persson from Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas when they played at Damnation Festival in Leeds recently.

Multitude of effect pedals equals massive heaviness as Ufomammut, Grave Lines, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard spark at a pre-bonfire night evening at The Underworld in London.
