Atomsmasher - S/T

I haven't touched this blog in a long while... until I recently found out it shows up on Google. Well shit. Here's the first release of James Plotkin's Atomsmasher, later renamed Phantomsmasher, featuring Dave Witte on the drum set, with plenty of grinding madness to fill up some 40 minutes of electric fun.

Isis - Mosquito Control / The Red Sea (Japanese Edition)

These are the first two EP's by Sludge monsters Isis, packed and released together in Japan with two bonus covers for Godflesh and Black Sabbath. Isis began from the start with the philosophical themes to each album, as notable in the Mosquito Control in the use of mosquitos as a main theme and a metaphor for the failure in relationships between humans.

The second part of the edition includes the Red Sea EP itself, along with the original demo songs recorded by Isis prior to the release of the Mosquito Control. Electronics provided by Jay Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed.


CD 1 - Mosquito Control
CD 2 - The Red Sea

O.L.D. - Old Lady Drivers

O.L.D.'s first album from 1988, featuring some pretty innovative humoristic Grindcore, themed after, as the title suggests, old ladies, mostly in a mocking attitude. Very unusual for a Grindcore album, but hey, that's James Plotkin for you.

Earth - Pentastar; In the Style of Demons

The 5th release of the originators of Drone Rock/Metal from 1996, featuring a much rockier sound than the albums that preceded it, but still extremely minimalistic and at times even sludgy.
