VINTAGE CUCUMBER

GERMANY

EXPERIMENTAL/PSYCH/SPACE ROCK

Toady i will show you a solo project of a crazy dude from germany, he creates sound worlds of the finest somewhere between Øresund Space Collective and the style of old movie's and sound sample's of daily life...not everything is meant but some song's are really interesting and arouse curiosity what is yet to come.

Bewildering parts, playful atmosphere's, broken dream's, crazy songwriting...just different.

Enjoy and support him on his Facebook page and download his album's for free on bandcamp.

Funeral Marmoori 

Bloodrock Records  

Doom-Metal 

Italy 

FUNERAL MARMOORI released their debut album, creatively called “Volume 1” in 2011. This review is all about it. According to the Metal Archives they play Progressive Doom Metal, but I would say they are more traditional. Just listen to the first track “Funeral Marmoori”, I wouldn't call this progressive. The sound of “Volume 1” seems more 70ies Sabbath influenced with some doom passages. Like their colleagues DOOMRAISER, who I've written about a few days ago, FUNERAL MARMOORI are some doom guys and a doom girl from Italy. 

The first time I listened to this album I was not very keen about it, to be honest. Not very innovative and even for a doom band some riffs are repeated pretty often. More variety within the songs would suit them well. But the thing which really annoyed me were most of the keyboard parts. On some songs (especially 1st, 2nd track) the keyboard really ruins the song. Like some guitar parts the keyboard passages repeat themselves very quickly, but are unfortunately more intrusive. Too much in the foreground if you ask me.

I would not go as far to call FUNERAL MARMOORI a bad band. If you give the a second run, you'll recognize that they do have their moments on this album. Like the 3rd track “Drunk Messiah” and the 5th track “Black Rooster”. At least these two songs sound like respectable compositions. The rest of the matierial... even if there are good parts, there are also flaws which ruin the songs or make them a boring listening experience. FUNERAL MARMOORI have potential, but we have to wait for later albums to fully reveal it. IMHO you can skip this debut album.

...great mix of nice moments...

DISASTROID

Stoner Rock

U.S.A.

...today in the quality control of stonerhead...
Disastroid from the hot and spicy

city San Francisco with a bag full of great stuff...the self-titled album starts with a classical stoner sound like Q.O.T.S.A, Fu Manchu or a little bit like Mondo Generator...the song is named "Sunshine"... jarrr properly a smile in my face, the next song is called "Room in my Head"...a really smooth song with a exciting atmosphere and a cool structure..."Money and Guilt" comes with more speed and let groove my brain to me then "Gamera" comes out of my stereo unit...groovy and a little bit more aggressiveness...

"Eternal Home" sounds like a good song of Iguana but with the personal touch of Disastroid of course..."Happy Channel" remind me on a mix of Brain Police and Jack Black and some slower Slayer parts but i like this Song...pure Josh Homme riffing out of this band supported by a powerful voice...awesome...

The grande finale dude's and duderina's...a song to relax and to dance...space rock with some incomprehensible sound samples...great ending.
