From the label that brought you doom pioneers Sleep, welcome to the stage Green Druid. Brooding, atmospheric, isolationist.

Seattle-based doom/sludge trio deathCAVE will release their “Smoking Mountain” debut full-length this August via Satanik Royalty Records.

Named after the Apache Death Cave in Arizona, deathCAVE was forged in 2018 and hit the ground running as its three members - Freiburger (Throne Of Bone, Brain Scraper), Benny Koslosky (Swampyheavy), and Tony Muñoz (Razorhoof, Worship) - are longtime veterans of the underground touring circuit.

-(16)- returns with their new album, “Dream Squasher”. Set for release on June 5th, 2020, via Relapse Records, “Dream Squasher” is a testament to the power of loss, its every moment casting the San Diego outfit into deeper, darker depths. 
 

Coming on April 3rd, on Subsound Records, “Macello” the brand new upcoming full length album by Italy’s Heavy Rock / Sludge duo Zolle, is a nutty piece of loudness, blending a Torche-like sound and rousing stadium dynamics à la AC/DC.

The fourth record of the Italian duo Zolle symbolizes the human condition of living in ambivalence, contradiction and paradox - It’s certainly a convivial record, but it’s also a bit poisoned and sometimes it simply makes you dream.

Endless Forms Most Gruesome is a musical project consisting of Juuso Raatikainen (Swallow The Sun) and Manne Ikonen (Ghost Brigade). General sound of the project can be described as muddy, sludgy and groovy. Lyrical themes are rooted to mental health issues and inner dialogues caused by them.
 
Second single, “A Thousand Years in Hell”, from their upcoming self titled album is now released and available on music services world wide.
