Ahab - The Divinity Of Oceans (2009)

Nautic, slow, yes, like a fucking funeral in a stormy neverending ocean, that's how i would describe this band, although some people label them as a sort of commercial doom metal, due in part of the label Napalm Records, but i give a flying fuck actually, this is one of the best funeral doom bands ever (almost all funeral doom bands are awesome, another good point of this subgenre), the truth is, that this sounds with an obvious death metal influence which is not bad at all, i would say that this death metal influence takes all the melancholic and sad feeling of the tracks, because it doesn't sound like perpetual sadness or something (very common in funeral doom), but sounds more slow and very fucking heavy, angry and desperate, leading to utter madness if you will, they tell us the story of the braves oceans and also of the famous book of Herman Melville "Moby Dick" a whale hunter, i'm sure it doesn't need any review, one of the best works ever made, an epic book, so if you like Tolkien or Lovecraft you'll love this book, and if you like bands that inspire their lyrical themes in Tolkien or Lovecraft, you'll also love this band. Simply powerful, perfect for a sunny day, i know you hate sunny days as much as i do...

Acid King - III (2005)

Suddenly i have this strange feeling and need to post some sludge stoner releases, don't know why, THC maybe, who knows, what i know is that this is a fucking awesome band, with an awesome singer, hypnotizing, slow, painful and very very distorted, i don't know but i always relate sludge, funeral doom, and stoner with hot days, sunny but cloudy, fucking awesome, isn't it? i'm just gonna say that this worth it a lot if you like sludge doom without growls, but a beautiful women singing endless songs into the blurry deep space, just lay down, do drugs, and trip fuck... TRIP!

Band: Acid King

Stabat - Corpos do Silenco Disforme em Conjuração e Consumação de Tortura (2011)

The fourth demo of this duo band from brazil, if you've listened to the other demos of this band, and you like underground atmospheric black metal, raw, and very hateful, is how i would describe this work, which is not bad at all i would say, in fact, is too short to me, but well, i really recommend this release to those who like this subgenre, like the old releases of Burzum, or Aäkon Këëtrëh....

Band: Stabat

Evil - Hammerstorm (2009)

I've heard some rumours, that they distanced from NS or extreme political ideologies, that they're not members of PF anymnore, who knows, maybe it's true, maybe not, what is a real fact is that they're awesome in the genre, yes is NSBM, this is a full length, not the best though but really good and powerful, also is good to emphasize the fact that they're brazilian, is good to know that the south american scene is still alive and loyal to the original beliefs, without being repetitive and annoying, like some bands i know...

Deafest - Through Wood And Fog (2011)

This year has not ended yet folks, there's a lot of material that will be released and enjoyed, and this is a grateful surprise, this is an EP, and i really liked this, the three full lengths of this band are good, but it seems that the band has matured, this is less underground, but more melancholic and almost reaching the "depressive black metal" label, which is the case of the first track "Fog Rolls Down The Slopes" starting with a calm feeling and the sound of the night, followed by the slow drums, and then a guitar intro towards the outcome of the song, peaceful i would say, then it turns more into that Black Metal riff and feeling, fast and powerful, of course it changes, and then we can listen that depressive riff (in my opinion, this is what i would label as "depressive"), perfect song to give us the first impression of this release, the track lasts 6:22, is an average time for a song and its perfect that way, you'll be satisfied with this, i can assure that, this is what i expected from the band, this is what i was looking for actually, is hard to find good new bands, good releases as well, but when you find it, you feel totally pleased.

Let's move to the 2nd track called "Over The Ridge", and i must say is different, not in a bad way, i liked, all the song is just awesome, seriously, it start with a chill guitar and some drums, then the electric guitar starts with the same riff of the beginning, this is in my opinion the track that marks this EP as "awesome" and almost a masterpiece, although this has 3 tracks, this will not disappoint you, the only thing i didn't like of this EP, is that it only has 3 tracks and isn't more longer, because it should be, but every good thing in the world is short and last only a few moments, does that makes life a piece of shit? maybe.

And then we have the 3rd track, "Rock Spires Above The Trees" is the longest track of the EP, at first it sounds a little bit average and not so surprising, but then you can notice that this changes and becomes more surreal and melancholic, although this is the longest track of the EP, is not as solid as the other two, this is more calm in some parts and with the same riff, doesn't mean that is a bad track, no, it's still enjoyable.

In conclusion i would give this album a 85% for being very good, worth checking out and support the band as well!

Niccolò Paganini - 24 Caprices

It was said during 1807 that this man was possessed by demonic energies, because of his fast, clean technique with the violin, and because he look possessed in the stage during his presentations, also he lived in a perpetual depression, and like many other artists he died because of syphilis, and later tuberculosis..
