Jucifer - If Thine Enemy Hunger

Jucifer is one of those bands that people can't classify into any specific genre except heavy. This duo creates heavy, sometimes hypnotizing riffs that are chopped up by moments of clarity and melody. 

Fans of sludge or a lot of music on Relapse will enjoy this. A friend of mine said it had reminded him of L7, but I've never listened to them so I wouldn't know. If you enjoy female vocals and heavy riffs, check this out.

Lucifer Was - In Anadi's Bower

I happened across this little gem last summer while I was diving into the 60's and 70's psych rock and proto metal. Since then, it's become one of my most played and enjoyable albums found during the dig. 

In Anadi's Bower was released in '72, not long after Black Sabbath's debut. However, this is no Sabbath clone. Although Lucifer Was contains tinges of the Sabbath sound (you'll hear it in Darkness very well), along with a hint of Jethro Tull with the use of the flute, they're more of a prog rock band rather than proto metal or psych band. Which begs to question how I found it during my psych rock and proto metal treasure hunt, but it doesn't really matter.

The title track is amazing and also contains slightly heavier and haunting guitars. The band also employs the use of odd instruments like the Mellotron on the album.

If you're into the early rock and proto metal, you'll enjoy this. It's not as "progy" as most prog rock bands, which I tend to be rather picky about and I know others are too.

Don't call it a comeback...

Okay, so the title is lame, but I guess what I was trying to say is that I have returned from an extended hiatus. Just remember, kids, don't ever move in with a girlfriend/boyfriend unless you are absolutely, positively and incredibly sure that you want to. 

/Lesson for the day.

The internet was non-existant where I was living and I couldn't upload anything at work for obvious reasons, but I have started to pick some new albums to upload to this blog and hope that all of you haven't become tired waiting for new material to pop up on here.

Also, I have received a few questions about the Candlemass album. It's there for a limited time for a limited amount of people. I usually don't even upload anything that well known because a) if you want to download it you can find it yourself and b) the album drops on April 2nd, so you should buy it anyway like I plan to. I just happened to find a source for the album and decided to download it because I couldn't wait. If you really want to hear it, Candlemass has it streaming on their myspace. It's an absolutely amazing album. The post on this blog will only be up until April 2nd when the album is released.

So, if you've enjoyed what has been posted on here so far, stay tuned. I've got a bunch of rare and hard to find stuff coming up.

Candlemass - "Death Magic Doom"

The new album from Doom masters, Candlemass, has finally arrived. As of right now, I am hosting this for a select group of people. This will be a limited download here on Tons-O-Tunes and only open to a select few. Sorry. You can hear the album streamed from Candlemass's Myspace.

*The download link has been removed. The album is now available and I encourage anyone who wants to hear it, or who may have had the privledge to hear it already, to go out and buy it. Thank you. More uploads of obscure crap coming soon.

Sons of Otis - "Templeball"

If you want heavy, this shit is heavy. Heavy and laden with about twenty pounds of marijuana. These guys take stoner doom to a whole new level, in my opinion. Heavy riffs and atmospheric vocals with a tone of Saint Vitus. They even do a Vitus cover, so you know these guys are legit.

The "Windows Jam" is an excellent highlight on an album full of hallucinigenic highlights. *note* Highlights made with many swirling colors and sound. Listening to this album while under the influence of marijuana or any psychadelic drug may induce complete kick-assery. Check it out sober too. It's some good shit.

Mile High - 5:17

Nothing - 5:24

Vitus - 6:38

Super Typhoon - 5:51
