Sixes: Methistopheles LP (Acid God Edition)

June 12, 2018 by mugwumb

This I picked up from the Post office today, album titled “Methistopheles” from group called Sixes. This is heavy, literally, filled with dirty sludge/stoner/doom/crust & darkness. Evil stuff released by Poisoned Mind Records (one of my favorite ones). This is still available from the source, even that deluxe edition I chose not to purchase this time (little low on money because this doomed house of mine is sucking all the extra pennies). This version here is “Acid God” one (limited […]

Unreqvited: Stars Wept To The Sea LP (splattered)

June 12, 2018 by mugwumb

Within a year my third purchase from Unreqvitet, debut album first on cassette, later on vinyl and now this latest one on splattered vinyl (this version is more likely sold out by now). As some of you already know I’m bad with putting artists on some specific genres.. but let’s try. Atmospheric blackened metal is the closest genre I can come up with, piano/strings/ethereal & haunting vocals, and here we got a winner. Love that debut and now the feeling […]

Bathory: Hammerheart LP

June 7, 2018 by mugwumb

Finally, one of the greatest has returned home. Bought this original copy from one domestic seller via Facebook market place. I paid 30€ for this and was quite relieved that the condition was this good, no disturbing noises while spinning under the needle. Cover has some marks but so what. Released 28 years ago and still sounds amazing. Great one, no doubt. “When the wind cries out my name And time has come for me to die Then wrap me […]

Egypt: Egypt 12″ (green)

June 7, 2018 by mugwumb

Once again a band I haven’t heard before (shame on me..).Bought this as used just because I got it quite cheap. Nice die-cut cover if I may say. Well, now that I have listened this few times I have to say I kinda like this band a lot (lucky me because I bought this without knowing what was coming). Haa, now I have another band to follow. This version is limited to 125 copies and it seems that copies have […]

Father Sky Mother Earth: Father Sky Mother Earth LP (white)

June 6, 2018 by mugwumb

Doom & drones, two tracks, one per side crushing your mind. Earlier this year I bought their “Across the River of Time” on cassette and planned to purchase this one on tape too.. Actually I’m quite happy that I didn’t because as a vinyl lover I found out that this one was about to be released on vinyl too. So here it is, on white vinyl (ltd. 250) and still available via Dirty Filthy Records. Recommended if you find drone […]

Messa: Feast For Water LP (orange/black)

June 6, 2018 by mugwumb

Well, I skipped this bands debut (can’t say why..) but then I came across with this one, their second full-length and I was sold. Don’t know how to describe this record.. it’s like doomed metal with some darkened jazz in it or something. Anyways, it sounds freaking good. Love the atmosphere on this album and those vocals.. Must get my hands on that debut album too. I bought this copy of mine via Aural Music (according to Discogs there should […]

At Death’s Door – A Collection Of Brutal Death Metal LP

June 5, 2018 by mugwumb

Hah! I blame this record for my addiction for Death Metal. I remember buying this record (in 90’s) just because the cover looked so awesome (and was stupid enough to sell it years ago..). Oh boys & girls.. On that moment started my on/off relationship with older Death Metal. Awesome collection even though there are few more-like Thrash metal bands included like Exhorder & Cerebral Fix (and even Sepultura). This has been on my wantlist for years and now I […]

Year of The Cobra: Burn Your Dead 12″ (clear w/ black & orange splatter)

June 5, 2018 by mugwumb

Year of Cobra, my favourite duo and their latest one that I grabbed via DHU Records earlier this year. I totally missed the launch of this EP and all those special versions but I’m more than happy I got my hairy/sweaty hands on this via DHU (released by Magnetic Eye Records). Love this one, and you should too. Magnetic Eye still have some nice variants available so what are you waiting for?

Night Runner: Thunderbird LP (Deluxe edition)

June 5, 2018 by mugwumb

I’m still here.. Just realized that it has been way too long since the last update. Let’s start with this one I got from Poisoned Mind Records few months ago. Second full-length from Night Runner. Thunderbird is the title of the album. I missed Night Runners debut (deluxe version) year ago just because I took few beers too much, passed out & missed that dlx version.. Would like to thank Poisoned Mind for the copy I got for free (pink/black […]

Ulvesang: The Hunt LP (purple)

April 21, 2018 by mugwumb

Beauty. That’s all to say about this latest from Ulvesang. Found this band a year ago, bought their debut and fell in love. This newest one came yesterday and.. there’s love n the air, once again. Loving the atmosphere on these albums, acoustic so-called neo-folk giving me chills. Listening this album takes me to some distant, yet familiar place. This beauty is limited to 200 copies on purple vinyl and 300 copies on black. Still available from Nordvis and I […]

The Ugly Kings: Darkness Is My Home LP (red/black/white marbled)

April 21, 2018 by mugwumb

A damn nice blues/hard rock album from this australian band. I listened this album via BandCamp few times and result of those moments can be seen on the picture above. Bluesy rock with touch of darkness, what else can I ask? Highly recommended album even though this has nothing to do with stoner/doom/sludge. Jus give a listen and you know what I mean. Still available from Kozmik Artifactz on white vinyl if you are interested. Yeah!!

Kuolema-duo: s/t LP

March 26, 2018 by mugwumb

Bough this album earlier this year and for your information this records holds little different music than I usually like to listen. Kuolema-duo, roughly translated it means Death-duo, simple as that. These two Finnish ladies perform psalm-like folk with very dark lyrics (in finnish). I was quite surprised that one half of this duo I already know from my past. Anyways, really like this album and I also bought their previous long play on cassette as it was also available. If […]

Black Road: s/t EP 12″ (DHU Exclusive version)

March 26, 2018 by mugwumb

Yet another release from DHU Records. This EP from Black Road arrived few weeks ago (if I remember right, been messing up days lately). Hell yeah this is one damn good release, bluesy-fuzzed-stoner-rock and oh I love Suzi Uzi’s voice. This copy here is DHU Records exclusive version, limited to 90 numbered copies. And for your information, this and other two variants (plus cassette version that I still have to purchase) are still available from the source, DHU Records. Wondering […]

Been so busy on job & fixing the house that I haven’t managed to update this blog of mine.. It doesn’t mean that I haven’t received some quite awesome vinyls thou. This single-sided EP from Dawn arrived nearly a month ago and still I find it pretty damn good. Fuzzy stoner rock from Australia released by awesome DHU Records. This DHU exlusive version is still available from the source (just like those two other variants), DHU Records. You can also […]

Clouds Taste Satanic: The Glitter Of Infinite Hell 2xLP (bone/bronze & gold oxblood splatter)

March 5, 2018 by mugwumb

I’ve known this band for some time now but it took quite long to purchase their music in physical format. Instrumental stoner/doom/sludge/call-it-whatever-you-want is quite new thing to me and I like it!. Like this so much that I must grab their previous records too. Great example how many great bands there is and how limited our time is to find all these treasures, some you might find and some you’ll obviously gonna miss. Really happy that I came across with […]

Unreqvited: Disquiet LP (splattered)

February 25, 2018 by mugwumb

Already have this record on tape but it didn’t prevent me to purchase this on vinyl too. I like this shoegazing/black metal just because the atmosphere it’s creating. Black metal puritanists surely have their opinion about music like this but I do not care about that. My purchases are based on the fact that I like every damn record I buy. Beautiful blackened music on this splattered vinyl still available via Ordo MCM. I like this one and I surely […]

Clint Heidorn: Pasadena LP

February 25, 2018 by mugwumb

Oh what a beauty this latest release from Clint Heidorn is. Been a big fan of his music since I bought his debut album “Atwater” seven years ago.. what makes me wonder how fast years are passing by. Thing here is acoustic, avantgardish field recordings etc. and this new album is.. can’t even describe how amazing this is. Thanks to Clint for his music, would love to hear music from him much often. This record arrived within two days from […]

Malevolent Creation: The Ten Commandments LP

February 25, 2018 by mugwumb

Hey, that’s not a stain nor fault on the vinyl you see on the picture, it’s just a reflection of ceiling lamp. To the point -> Been hunting down these early nineties death metal releases for some time now and weeks ago I managed to grab this one from Malevolent Creation. Never managed to hold this release on my hands back then, actually I only read some reviews from Metal Hammer but never came across with a physical copy. Can’t […]

Valonyrkki: Kohtuuton LP

February 25, 2018 by mugwumb

Well, very strange release from Svart Records. There’s only two tracks on this psychedelic album by Valonyrkki (translation could be something like “lightfist”). The one behind this psychedelic record is Ville Pirinen, well-known comic artist and hard-working musician. More info about this project can be found for example from Discogs (https://www.discogs.com/Valonyrkki-Kohtuuton/release/11444972). This is limited to 100 copies on black wax and still available from the source, Svart Records. Recommended if you want to clean your ears & mind with this […]

Olde: Temple LP (die hard edition)

February 24, 2018 by mugwumb

And here’s a one I waited so much that I even purchased tape version even though I vinyl version preordered. Heard about this band (and their debut album) first time through STB Records few years ago. I bought that debut album straight away and since STB signed the band I have been waiting for more. Here it is now, Olde’s second album and damn this is good. If you like your stoner/sludge/doom played with hint of hardcore mixed in it, […]

Earth Witch: Out Of The Shallow LP (orange)

February 24, 2018 by mugwumb

It took only one song to hear via BandCamp and I had to purchase this debut album from Earth Witch. I really like this kind of stoner/doom/blues/whateverwecallitnowadays. Hopefully I found a copy of this raw diamond via Cursed Tongue Records (really surprised that this still is available). I’m really lost with bands & records of this “genre” but I really try keep myself on the map. This record has been given hours & hours spinning time in this household and […]

Portal: Ion LP (silver/black mix)

February 21, 2018 by mugwumb

Hmm.. this is frightening record, like their previous ones. This Australian group takes you on the journey between dimensions, leaving you to float alone in the void just to tear you back to their chaotic realm. Still remember watching their video of “Swarth” years ago and I was just… wow! And with this new one the reaction is still that same. Like I said, frightening record. Ordered this copy (ltd.100) from Profound Lore when it was announced and it’s no […]

Entombed: Same Difference LP

February 21, 2018 by mugwumb

Entombed is Entombed, what else can I say. Maybe not the one of the greatest record this band has done but surely it’s still rough diamond compared to punch of other bands & their records. Entombed has always been so close to my heart that I just can’t say anything bad about their records. Few years ago this album was repressed with crowd funding like few other their records. I had a copy of that repress but some evil force […]

Dead Sea Apes: Recondite 2xLP

February 21, 2018 by mugwumb

Dead Sea Apes.. I fell in love with their psych/drone inspired post-rocking instrumental music since I heard their collaboration album with Black Tempest called “The Sun Behind The Sun” five years ago. Oh, I think that I have all their vinyl releases so I can be called a fan or something. This double album is some kind of compilation but that didn’t stop me purchasing it (even though I’m not that big fan of compilations). I recommend this group if […]

February 21, 2018 by mugwumb

Never got a chance to get any of those Emetic records versions (I was at work while those came available and I missed the one I was after, then I missed all the other versions..). Hopefully all mighty STB Records came to rescue all of us who were left behind & announced repressing this one. Die hard version was little too expensive (with shipping) to me so I snagged this Obi version instead. Whole package came in perfect condition (like […]

Incubator: ‎Mc Gillroy The Housefly LP

February 21, 2018 by mugwumb

Don´t know about you but I think that this album by Incubator, “Mc Gillroy The Housefly”, goes straight to my top ten of early 90′ death metal albums. I came across with this album few weeks ago, never heard about this band before. I was checking out my “wantlist” on Discogs and somehow I found myself listening to this album via Youtube. Bought the vinyl via Discogs while it was available and now it has been spinning on my turntable […]

Yeeeeeessssss… after years & years hunting process is finally over. This brilliant album has found its way to me. Bought this from some Discogs seller because he had quite reasonable prize on it. Records are in damn good condition and even cover.. well, it could have been in perfect condition before this seller decided to ship it with those worst ever mailers (I have talked about in few of my previous posts). Some corners of the cover has taken some […]

Doomstress/Sparrowmilk: Split 12″ (DHU exclusive color variation)

Few weeks have passed and I have been way too busy at work to even listen any of the new records that have arrived. Even though I should be sleeping at this moment I still want to say some words about this split album from Doomstress/Sparrowmilk. Both bands are new to me so this split is quite good way to get familiar with these artists. What it comes to Doomstress, sounds gooood… heavy as hell and I can even taste some […]

Sepultura: Arise – Rough Mixes Limited Edition For Rock In Rio LP

January 19, 2018 by mugwumb

For years I have tried to find this album with decent prize tag on it and suddenly I came across with this version. Have to say that 25€ is quite decent prize considering that the vinyl itself is in pristine condition. I don’t mind the fact that these are rough mixes, after all this sounds much better than that recorded cassette I have been playing for years. Still missing a vinyl copy of “Beneath the Remains” but I’m working on […]

Haa.. somehow I have purchased great pile of cassettes during last few months. Never thought that I would turn back to this format but here we are. There is more than one reason why cassettes have found their way to my heart.. This format is way more cheaper, these arrive without a doubt in much better condition than vinyl records and most of all, in some cases cassettes are the only physical format available. Some of these albums I already […]

Yes, I purchased this “poor man’s” semi die-hard version from Riding Easy Records (couldn’t afford to purchase neither that “Faux Leather” nor “Denim” version) and like I said it has been here with me sometimes now. This version was limited to 100 copies with some kind of printed extra cover (nice way to add some extra price to album..). Anyways, once […]

Havukruunu, finnish black metal act has released their third album and surprisingly I had to purchase it. Even though I’m not that good with this genre I really like some bands and Havukruunu surely is one of those with their folk/black metal blend. About a year ago I purchased their debut full-length, Havulinnaan, and it was love at first sight and now this new one is taking that love to next level. This album is limited to 350 pieces of […]

Holy freaking hell, I fell in love right away. Brilliant blend of stoner/metal and even a hint of some thrash metal influences mixed together. I’m digging this album (actually listening to […]

If I remember right I never did own any VoiVod records on vinyl back then (only few cassette copies).

Twelve-inch arrived nearly two weeks ago from one of my favorite labels, Totem Cat Records. Great release and really hope to hear from this band soon.

Really like this album, seems that I like most of these synthwave/soundtrack albums released lately.

Oh, my first touch with Monarch! Have to say it’s not bad one. I really don’t know what genre I should place this record but at the end who even cares. Album is hazy, doomed, droned & shoegazing and all these makes it sound just.. awesome. Can’t even imagine better record playing on the background while sitting on the balcony and watching how the autumn sun slowly glides along the horizon. Nice one indeed.

Seems that my vinyl puritanism days are far gone.

Haaa.. It’s the latest full-length from mighty Necro Deathmort. It’s damn nice to see how far this band has reached. I remember ordering their CD years ago (actually it was between 2011-2012) called “Music Of Bleak Origin”.. Still that album sounds amazing like this new one. Overland is like apocalyptic soundtrack to some sci-fi movie, hmmm.. like this new Blade Runner. Great record and those who are interested of electronic/experimental soundscapes should certainly check this out. Vinyl available on four […]

Luckily I’m quite open-minded so I decided to give this record a chance.. Relentless Mutation is filled with so much energy it’s like to […]
