Corrections House is a consortium of members from sludge and post-metal bands Minsk, Eyehategod and Neurosis amongst others. Drum Programming, sound distortions and a mix of urban and industrial atmospheres can be found on this heavy work, which can be… Continue Reading →
These days I’m not surprised when another funeral doom band I don’t know crosses my path. They secrete themselves in quiet corners and like ghosts they vanish when you search for them. Publicity shy often, deeply personal invariably, they can… Continue Reading →

Hang on to your hats and britches and whatever the hell else you have not got battened down against this upcoming shitstorm. It’s a wild ride and a half and even if you survive it without melting down you may… Continue Reading →
