10 Song Playlist – Delivering the Riffs
- My War – Tooled up and Ready for Action: Hardcore/sludge outfit that featured the late (and amazing) vocalist Johnny Morrow. Most know him from his older band, Iron Monkey.
- Minsk – White Wings: Neurosis-esque featuring Sanford Parker. They also did an amazing cover of Rory Erikson’s “Stand for the Fire Demon.” Highly recommended.
- Let the Night Roar – Sleep: High on Fire sound/tone. And no meandering riffs. Ending riff of this song is absolutely punishing.
- Leechmilk – Of Wall: Unheralded sludge band do their worst on the split EP with Sofa King Killer.
- Knut – Wyriwys: Another post-metal/rock outfit. Too many black rimmed glasses and plaid shirts in this genre but this song sets them apart.
- Grave in the Sky – Here Lie: Two bassists, effects and trance-inducing riffs from Israel. Turn off the lights and hide the firearms. The soundtrack to the end of the world.
- Gaza – Bishop: No explanation needed – off one of the finest CD’s ever made. If you don’t own “He is Never Coming Back” go out and get it NOW. Play at loud volumes at all times.
- Federation X– The Hatchetman: Two guitars played through bass amps (at least that’s what it sounds like to me). Catchy as hell, rock.
- Dax Riggs – Sleeping with the Witch: Legendary singer/lyricist brings the goods with his solo work. Haunting voice and lyrics. The fact that he hasn’t gotten extensive radio play assures me that there is a conspiracy against great music.
- Cavity – Damaged IV: One of the top sludge bands of all time hit the jackpot with the “Supercollider” release. Not a bad track on the album and this song is absolutely devastating. The soundtrack to a night of binging and sinning.
