DAVID GALAS - The Cataclysm CD € 9
"David Galas is one of the former members of the legendary darkwave band “Lycia”. He has been credited with working on many Lycia releases including “Lycia-Live”, “The Burning Circle And Then Dust”, “Bleak-Vane”, “Cold” and “Empty Spaces”. Shortly after Lycia broke up in 2000, David began writing and recording new material for a solo release. All music on “The Cataclysm” is written, performed, recorded and produced by David Galas. "There need to be more albums like this one. Created between June 1999 and November 2005, "The Cataclysm" is a well thought-out piece of work that sears into you and lingers like mercury pollution in the water table. Like a phosphate burn, it keeps eating away at you, shredding away at the meat until it reaches bone." - PETER MARKS, Release Magazine. Rating 9/10

GARDENS OF GEHENNA - Mechanism Masochism CD € 6
Original mix of industrial and doom metal. Including video.
"The band seems to be the incarnation of the opposites in their name: gardens (order, peace) Gehenna (the gates of hell, chaos). Once in a while the music sounds fluent and heavy, a few moments later we are engulfed by the coolness of a drum computer (there’s no drummer to be found in the line up). All this surrounded by a cloud of brutal doom metal. The distorted elements never cast a chill over the assembly and they are melted in such a way with the natural flow of the compositions that it never deranges. " 83/100- Lords Of Metal

THE GATES OF SLUMBER - Conqueror DigiCD € 12
It was only a matter of time before Indianapolis, Indiana's The Gates of Slumber gained recognition as one of the most prominent true doom/heavy metal acts in the country. Spawned in the late '90s, the band emerged in 2004 after several demos with their debut, The Awakening, a breath of fresh air in the metal underground. The album harnessed their influences--Black Sabbath, Pentagram, St. Vitus, Cirith Ungol, Rainbow, Thin Lizzy--as a solid foundation for their sound. Its follow-up, Suffer No Guilt, was hailed as one of the best albums of its kind to come out in 2006. Conqueror is their most accomplished, tight, and focused to date. Featuring surging melodies, passionate vocals, crushing riffs, wailing solos, and a storming rhythm section, the epic Conqueror is a landmark release in underground metal.

GENGHIS TRON - Dead Mountain Mouth CD € 10
Dead Mountain Mouth is the wickedly anticipated full length album from GENGHIS TRON, and the follow-up to their imaginative debut EP, Cloak Of Love. Recorded at Godcity Studios with Kurt Ballou (Converge), Dead Mountain Mouth moves beyond the rapid-fire electro/grind genre-splicing of Cloak Of Love, and forms something more fluid and cohesive, an arcane union of digital dreams and brutal heaviness, where speedcore eruptions blossom from clouds of maximum beat-driven electronic bliss, and futuristic metal riffage seethes from your speakers. These ten gloriously-dense and triumphantly catchy jams soar through valleys of immense crush and alien vistas of 8-bit wizardry unlike anything you've heard before...

GILLA BRUJA - 6 Fingered Jesus CD € 4
'6 Fingered Jesus' sees Gilla Bruja furthering their sound, which is a crushing hybrid of the hammering metal drive of Godflesh, Prong and Helmet, the dirt encrusted sludge sound of EyeHateGod and Iron Monkey, and the ferocity of aggressive metal bands such as Skinlab and Pissing Razors. Building on the foundation of their debut release 'Tooth And Nail', Gilla Bruja will once again surprise the non-believers.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood CD € 10
Gnaw Their Tongues, an enigmatic project from the Netherlands that has wowed fans of messed-up heaviosity with the phenomenal Reeked, Pained and Shuddering CD that was released on Paradigms along with a host of super-limited CDR and cassette releases, is joining the Crucial Blast roster for the CD release of the new full length An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood, which was released as a limited edition vinyl release at the beginning of 2008 on Burning World Records. This undefinable mass of black amorphic horror is one of the most intense listens we've engaged in recently, a nihilistic pit of howling orchestral strings and blackened abstract doom, operatic female voices plunging into a fetid sewer of filth and blackness, equal parts avant black metal and splattered sludge and symphonic horror movie score. An overwhelming deathscape scrawled in jagged figures across pieces like "My body is not a vessel, nor a temple. It's a repulsive pile of sickness" or "Sawn asunder and left for the beasts", and flecked with moments of unbelievably crushing beauty that may surprise fans of Gnaw Their Tongue's previous work.

GOAT HORNS / THE TRUE ENDLESS - Split CD € 6
England's one-man purveyor of old-school blackened thrash, GOAT HORNS' combines the metal gods of old. VENOM, early BATHORY with a touch of SLAYER during the solos and a FROSTian doomy flair.
THE TRUE ENDLESS are a bit more up-to-date collective, obsessed with early 90's black metal, old MAYHEM especially, but bring with them bits of deviation, not so much in style but in some of the sound and structures.

GRAYCEON - Grayceon CD € 9
The epic, spacious compositions on display from San Francisco’s triad, Grayceon, blankets the brain in an incredibly wide spectrum of emotions. Often moody, frequently rollicking, and occasionally pummeling, these ballsy tunes not only produce an end result difficult to pigeonhole genre wise, but also regularly create a towering wall of sound that defies the fact there are only three members actually producing it. The rich, deep texture of electric cello, courtesy of Jackie Perez Gratz (Amber Asylum / Giant Squid), twines seamlessly with the meandering, finger-picked guitar wizardry of Max Doyle (Walken), and the amazingly organic, frequently frantic drumming of Zack Farwell (Walken).

GRIFTEGARD - Solemn. Sacred. Severe DigiCD € 11
Excellent debut full-length from the new Swedish Kings Of Doom! Digipak. "Goddamn, Candlemass move over because we’ll need a lot of room. ... this auspicious debut follow a very standard and loyal doom pattern. Griftegård never strays. As usual and as it should, these songs are based on extended and tired riffs (the guitar tone is perfect, not too fat, not too distorted, just heavy enough and lacking solos), a steady but dragged and well-timed drumbeat, ominous vocalizations that hover and haunt the music creating giant movements. The flow is slow but fluid, it drags everything on its path.." - Deaf Sparrow
