Reverend Bizarre - Death Is Glory... Now 2009 (Best Of)

2010-11-19T23:19:00.000-08:00

This was a badass move on Reverend Bizarre's part. It's pretty much all of the songs featured on EPs/Singles/Demos/splits besides Return... and Harbinger... And that completes my Reverend Bizarre posts.

Reverend Bizarre - III: So Long Suckers 2007

2010-11-19T23:11:00.000-08:00

This is pretty much the end of Reverend Bizarre. After this they released numerous splits/singles/EP's that were just covers or old songs. So here it is, RB's last full length, coming in at a whopping 2 hours. Had to borrow the link, but if it doesn't stay up I'll upload the album in two parts to mediafire.

Reverend Bizarre - Harbinger of Metal EP 2003

2010-11-19T15:32:00.000-08:00

Another great release from Reverend Bizarre. The weird thing about this "EP" is it might as well be a full length album. It's over an hour in running time and features one more song than their debut did, but I'm not complaining. Anyway, this has a really badass Burzum cover.

Electric Wizard are classic stoner doom from the UK. They released their first album in '95 but it was between 2000-2004 when Electric Wizard released these three classics of the genre. We live is my favorite of the three.

Man, to be honest, this is probably the first extreme metal band I ever listened to. I found out about these guys on mp3.com (I know) years and years ago. Pretty cool I finally found the material again. Black/Death metal from the Netherlands

Lately I've been getting into a lot more of the straight forward doomy deathdoom bands. This another recent find, and probably the first Irish doom band I've listened to. Sounds like really heavy doom metal with death metal vocals. Definitely check em out.

I was talkin to someone about the Finnish band Slugathor and we both agreed the 2009 album is the best work these guys have put out so far. That's not to say their previous two full lengths weren't good, but Slugathor really steps it up on this album. Solid crushing deathdoom.

Mar de Grises are a great Chilean deathdoom band that have three full lengths out right now. These guys do an awesome job of blending death with lots of doom influence, both heavy and symphonic at times. Draining the Waterheart is easily my favorite release from these guys.

These guys actually formed in Finland back in the day in 1993, but only started putting out demos in 2005, and came out with this album in 2009. I read a review that summed these guys up pretty well; imagine Asphyx, Autopsy and Incantation in one and you have this album.

I'm pretty sure they sing in Russian so I have absolutely no idea what they're saying, but the music is pure quality. Classic deathdoom from Russia, another remnant of the 90's. Also, the vocalist died in a fire.
