Asva - Presence Of Absences (2011)

Ok, let's get this shit together again this time, i've been a long time without checking the blog, comments are disabled forever (i think) so if you want to say something just comment the post, there was a lot of spam in the chatbox anyways, happy new year and that shit, i hope you finally considered buying original material this time, maybe this year leechers will stop being leechers and maybe they evolve into decent scum and buy original stuff, this year i'm going to post new and experimental stuff, i think the stuff i posted in the past is good (i don't know about you) but this year will be good too, i must apologize to those bands that have sent me mails about their projects, i've been busy and i didn't had time to post it although i did listened all those releases, and liked them, i'm gonna post those releases, don't panic, i don't know what else to say, i was thinking to stop posting and close the blog, but i find this very enjoyable, must follow my instinct and let the blog arise again...

So, this band has new material (is old now, but when i uploaded this, was actually new) i think is good, yes, but nothing like "What You Don't Know It's Frontier".. judge for yourselves

Khanate - Khanate (2001)

I know i know... i know you're thinking "fuck, i don't even like drone, why this guy post more and more?!?" it's because, you just need time to appreciate such a genre like this, and if you do right now, congratulations, you're fucked, your mind is wide open, Black Metal is not the last boundary in music like most people think, just when you think music can't get weirder, you found more sick shit... This time i bring to you, Khanate, a sick, sick american band, and when i mean sick i mean bizarre and pretty good, just like being kidnapped by a murderer, this is their first full length and actually the best of the band in my opinion.. i don't want to talk more bullshit, so enjoy...

Nadja - Bliss Torn From Emptiness (2005)

One of those obligatory releases, just you must have it, is a 48 min track, hard shit, more industrial influenced, is like listening to a hardest version of Mort by Blut Aus Nord, i would say is the masterpiece of this band, the very best if you liked "Touched" you'll love this...

Asva - Futurists Against The Ocean (2005)

Good, hard stuff if you don't like drone, but very good indeed, isn't better than "What You Don't Know Is Frontier", but still pretty good "Kill The Dog, Tie Them Up, Then Take The Money" is the first and mindblowing song of this album, not necessarily the best, but it gets better, the other tracks "Zaum: Beyonsense" is a whole track only with few notes, just like a Sunn O))) song, but less evil, just Drone, in the pure form of the word and genre, not fancy stuff, not so elaborated, not the best, just for fans of this genre, drone your anger and stress, light a joint, put this in the highest volume, sit, enjoy the vibration, enjoy nothingness.......

Earth - HEX; Or Printing In The Infernal Method (2005)

Nadja - Touched (2007)

I don't feel like doing a review right now.. it's curious because some people love my reviews, some people hate it, i don't think i'm good at it anyways, this is another great band in the small and fogotten genre of Drone, very good, different only because they decided not to do a slow drone like Sunn O))) they're more like Earth in my point of view... they're like a darker and gloomy version of the bests songs of Earth..

Asva - What You Don't Know Is Frontier (2008)

Without doubt, a fucking masterpiece in Drone, forget about the endless dark and gloomy track, the powerful amplifiers now are at the mercy of the spiritual ritualistic music, suddenly there's no such thing as the society, suddenly you're lost in an endless rainforest, your mind is reaching happiness, yes, happiness, abandon all hope, you're now a spirit, free, shapeless, boneless, now you're matter, you are the master of your own self, epic, melancholic and very very ritualistic, this is the pure definition of this release.. The members of this band are very experimented, hey have a lot experience in this genre, maybe that's why this sounds so fucking wonderful.

Don't start listening this release in order, you should always start with the track "A Game In Hell, Hard Work In Heaven", and if that single track doesn't changes your whole life, then you don't like drone, simple, but effective, then of course you can listen the whole release, in any order, the point is that i started in this genre with this release (and, of course, Black One of Sunn O))).), if i were a good reviewer, i would give to this a fucking 200/10, this is beyond labels and qualifications, this is Asva folks....

Boris - Absolutego (1996)

Holy shit, you need a trip?. Sometimes i envy japanese people, they're just in some way perfect, weird, but every single shit that comes to the western society is pure gold, and those things that stays in Japan are in Japan only because we are not ready for such perfection, in this case this Drone/Psychedelic/Stoner/Doom/Sludge/Ambient/Noise/Dream Pop/Rock band, named Boris after the release of the CD Bullhead of The Melvins, there is a track named "Boris"..

Let's talk about this album, is like just the soundtrack for a bad trip in acid or meth, like Sunn O))), you just stay staring at the sky with your mouth open dreaming about anything, the meaning of life actually means something to you after this (because in my case, life is meaningless, if you think life has some meaning, then this release will make you think the opposite, welcome to nihilism bro, land of the free, home of the brave..),  

is a fucking hour long, a fucking hour of noise and drone, it actually change the way you see your life and reality, it's Boris people, it's Japan, something must happen, if you wanted a radical change, this is it, if you liked Drone, Sunn O))) and others, this is the next level towards madness and ilumination, this is the ultimate, this is the miracle of the cosmic gods made through music, take it or leave it.

Fucking Protip: Listen to it, all, the whole track, without interruptions, sit, take drugs or whatever, and listen to this 01:05:34  masterpiece..

Sunn O))) & Earth - Angel Coma [Split] (2006)

Yes, yes it is, two legendary Drone bands playing together, the product of this is awesomeness, in short words, but yes the two tracks of this release are very good, the best from Earth, the best from Sunn O))), very fucking recommended if you like the genre...

Sunn O))) - Black One (2005)

Another important band in this genre, actually one of the most popular, but not in the bad way, and this is one of the best releases of this band that mix Drone with Black Metal, with a lot of colaborations from another awesome bands, such as Xasthur's member Malefic, Joe Preston from Melvins and Earth etc.., maybe a little bit different, but quite good indeed, this band works with less melodies or riffs, less than Earth...

Earth - Extra Capsular Extraction (1991)

Great band, i mean, is an AWESOME band, the pioneers of Drone, they finally built the genre, the concept of Drone started with this band, and this is the first EP, featuring in vocals, the famous/infamous Kurt Cobain, that's what most people don't know, they only know him for Nirvana, but he actually did a casting in Melvins, he wanted to be in Melvins, but he couldn't be, also he was going to be in Earth, but finally he created Nirvana, the truth is, he did vocals in the songs of this EP, it sounds good, and this is one of the best releases of this legendary Drone band, this is truly the big bang of Drone, and still one of the best bands of the genre, even they've a new full length released this year... I'm sure you can handle long songs, i believe you can, but if not, you can't appreciate Drone...

Mara - The Underground [DEMO] (2011)

Only few bands like this one make good Drone/Black Metal, both extreme genres, both actually kind of tabu in the general metal scene, mostly due to ignorance, or faggotry, the truth is, that this is a very good band, and this is the last demo of this band and i think is splited up, this band comes from the US making very good music, actually, for being a demo, is very good produced and it makes it better just because if this had a worst production, it'll be just pure noise, and noise=/=drone in my opinion, so enjoy pessimism and this repetitive drone madness...
