notes: As requested, here is the outstanding Time To Burn. Brilliant chaotic and explosive songs drenched in a sad and melancholic tone, these guys bring some really unique tunes. As far as I remember, it was this band that actually got me interested in the whole Post-Hardcore/Metal genre. They were on a bit of break as far as playing goes, but as of late they have announced a few shows, so be sure not to miss those if you can. Aside of Is.Land, they have one more excellent release called “Starting Point”. Enjoy.

notes: I was under the impression that I posted it a while ago, but guess what…I didn’t. Which basically surprises me, since I was under huge euphoria after their show last year here in my hometown. This is their first full lenght, and wow is it great! 5 songs, 30 minutes of juicy, slow and thundering sludge sound! Definitely one of the best vocals in sludge genre and yeah you guessed it, it’s a female singer! She absolutely blew me away live (as well as the rest of the band), stunning performance which really puts a seal of “perfection” on this act. Check it out, they deserve the attention.

notes: As promised, another Elodea album. You can hear a change of tone here, a bit more sludgy then the demo, but still this is an outstanding album. If you didn’t know, Elodea is a type of waterweed. Educational blog ftw!

notes: Again we come to Slovenia, but this time with sludge tunes. And let me tell you right now, Elodea is quite possibly my number one sludge band. The amazing four piece brought us this demo (tape) back in 2004, followed by a hiatus after which came one more release(which I will most likely post tomorrow). All in all, they are currently working on a new album, you can hear their new song on myspace(yes, it kicks ass). Massive, powerfull, thundering sound, these guys throw a good punch to the ears, download and enjoy.

Genre: Atmospheric Sludge/Post-Metal
Country: Germany
Notes: This is a two disc album. The first disc “Hadean;Archaean” is 20 minutes of straightforward sludge, the second “Proterozoic” is atmospheric and brutal, incorporating elements of Post-Rock; this new sound is sometimes called Post-Metal. Amazing progression from Aeolian, I can’t heap enough praise on this album.
