Crawl. fuck u fuckin' fuck... From Texas

The Howling Void - The Pearl of Our Collection

I'll be fucking right if I call this band the pearl of our collection. It's almost unbelieavable that this can be a one man act from Texas, and by far it's one of my favourite preferences in the genre. Beatiful is every tinest bit of this release. Great, great, fucking awesome funeral doom album with crushingly sad autumnal atmosphere released by the Russian label Solitude Productions. Highly recommended. 

Interview with Stephene Hoffman, man from Swamp

Steven Hoffman lives in Indiana. He creates and records rocky, sometimes ragged, sometimes viscous sludge doom, with a lot of inclusions of hardcore and stains of stoner rock. In the year of the white rabbit he released his first disk - a three song EP, which he vigorously promote in every possible social network - on Last.fm, Bandcamp.com, Myspace. It's free to download, of course. The artwork is created by himself. He plays the bass, with his guitar he creates tenacious riffs, savouring of oriental spirit, lead passages and other sounds without which no one decent sludge release can do.  Very unexpectedly, taking into account his constitution, he vigorously roars into his mike something about sludge. We had an oppotunity to ask him a couple of questions, concerning his music, his views on some issues. Here are his answers to our questions.

Monument of Urns - The great unknown one

There is very few information about this reticent project in the web. But we know something for certain. We know that this music is like a stodgy larva slowly weightin' you down, and below, and infra then beneath. We know that the voice sounds like a wail muffled by the thickness of the prejudice and the common sense which tied by the environment; it's like a wail breaking away anything and anyone. That's all we know. More truly  - almost all.

Swamp (USA) - Fathomless moor of Architoa

Swamp is Stephen Hoffman's one-man band. Based in Indiana, US.

This guy plays leisured and viscous kind of sludge/doom and you can find a good lot of information about the project if you just follow the links contained under the "Moarrrgh!!1" button.

P.S. Stephen kindly agreed to give us an interview which is going to be published soon, so keep checking us out.
