    Iceman - Blast From The East EP

    in 2014

    Posted

    This EP and the artist is my new catch. Oh man, Iceman, what kind of discovery it is! Often it happens in life that the best finds we make are those that were non-expected. So was this. I was checking psyshop and discogs if the long awaited Sky Technology album'd become available and since it wasn't I went on surfing previous material provided by Sita Records. And this was the stuff I came across. Been on repeat for two days now 24/7. Wondering why this release hasn't attracted a single comment underneath the review. All three tracks are available in Soundcloud and they have thousands of kilos plays: Return to the Classix has over 48 kilo plays.

     

    This is nitzhogoa to the core in all its cheesiness and drama. Just the way I want it if I listen to nitzho. I have hard time listening to combos that are representing goa and nitzho. I am an on-off person. Mostly I listen to goa but if I listen to Nitzho it has to be it. Nothing in between. This EP is an answer to that shout. Getting familiar with it I have to reconsider all the comments to various goa releases I have made during the path: stating something being "mindblowing".. "awesome".."phenomenal"...why did I do that because those superlatives belong to rarities like this EP and The Gate from The World Beyond compilation. I should have saved my breath: this is phenomenal and mindblowing.. a few else maybe are in addition but not many. Or then I just have to invent new magical words to my vocabulary ;-) starting with this. How about " a release to kill for"? Good nuts are hard to find says a squirrel. I have to renew my whole thinking of evaluating the goa tracks and cultivating the praise after hearing this hell of a ride. Thanks for the review. I am glad someone paid attention! And yeah, Eyal Iceman: you have a new die-hard fan!

     

    This EP goes easily to my top 5 of all albums/EP releases in the genre of goa including subgenres.

    Generally speaking; since I recently joined psynews, I have been slightly surprised on a positive side how psy/goalisteners have also heart for metal. Often I find it rare to come across with this kind of a match among ppl, so I am pleased to meet some soulmates on this forum, really. The wider perspective one has to music the better, so why to narrow it down? So I am glad this thread is nourished in here. Rock on, ppl!!

    Rings Of Saturn are dope. Seriously this is future of extreme metal.

    Death and trash blended..sure very interesting. Officially deathcore. Dunno about these subgenre definitions, but yeah, even though I am very picky concerning metal especially (read: hard to get even a chance in my listening palette) I found this listenable even though I am fond of pure vocals blended with growls (normally so, i.e. excluding COB and a few others like Lost Society, hah): a thing that's not existing here. But I listened the whole album through and consider it a victory, Richpa, for what you presented :-D

    "V/A - The World Beyond"

    in 2015

    I guess it is time for me to comment on this topic, too. The World Beyond is a cohesive, skillfully brought-together album with some serious highlights like The Gate. Those who know me have already heard through facebook how this spesific track kinda changed my life since I was in a heavy metal listening period for long and did not pay attention to so much goa..until I heard The Gate. Dammit! Such a devastating listening experience it was and still is on a daily basis. Ppl might not believe but this The Gate def is my number one goa track ever brought into the existence. Listen to the basic beat!! Who produces that if not the best psychiatrists in the world = the best psychedelic music producers on the fuckin' planet <3 <3 <3 The gate is such a baby, a zero level, and I will never let it go!

    Thergothon from Finland-one of the pioneers of funeral doom. Hasn't been active for about 20 years. One and only album is this, lovers will love and haters will hate.

     

     

     

    The fanbase is still wide as shows the compilation album released by Russian Solitude Productions in 2009: Rising of Yog-Sothoth Tribute to Thergothon

     

     

     

    Review: http://www.metal-rules.com/review/viewreview.php?band=Various+Artists&album=Rising+Of+Yog-Sothoth%3A+Tribute+to+Thergothon

     

    "A little background is necessary. Thergothon are widely considered the fathers of the sub-genre ‘Funeral Doom’. The Rockdetector book, the A-Z of Doom, Gothic And Stoner Metal says, “Thergothon are renowned for releasing one of the most melancholic and bleak doom albums of all time.” (p. 410) Coupled with the facts that the band only recorded one album and broke up before it was released, and the fact the that their only album, STREAM FROM THE HEAVENS, was the first album on the esteemed Avantgarde Musc label, (AV001), this is one of the true gems of doom metal. This an innovative band that is truly deserving of a tribute CD, moreso than perhaps a 13th or 14th tribute to Ozzy!"

    Lectro Spektral Daze - Out of Body Experience EP

    I happen to like male vocals. Flowy starting track with those provided with nice echo auxiliaries and acid and bit of full-on impact that I crew up loving the genre with; makes a valuable listening experience. The whole release then continues as such and doesn't let me down. On Ektoplazm the current rating is 90,91% with 99 votes. I think it is too little. I was the 100th to vote, gave 5 stars. Looking forward to the new album, absolutely!
