It was already with 2012’s eponymous debut album that KADAVAR casted a spell on all fans of solid riff-driven yet doom-like 70’s hard rock à la BLACK SABBATH or PENTAGRAM. Marrying this with the spacy psychedelic approach of early HAWKWIND and mixing in a distinct own touch while preserving their icon’s warm vintage charm can doubtlessly be considered the trio’s key to success.
Following the release of their Nuclear Blast records debut “Abra Kadavar” and a highly ambitious touring schedule through Europe, the UK and the US, including appearances on most major rock festivals, Kadavar was established as one of Doom Rock´s biggest names.
2015 saw the release of their eagerly awaited 3rd studio album “Berlin”.
The LP landen on 18 on the German charts and traditional Metal publications such as Metal Hammer and Rock Hard gave rave reviews.

Real rock‘n’roll cannot be faked. It is the immortal celebration of prized atavistic values – power and volume, sweat and adrenalin, uncompromising good times and the invigorating squall of past, present and future colliding. Those with the artistry and soul required to make music that stirs the blood will never stop chasing that distant horizon, and so Horisont have both the name and the know-how to blow minds and disperse life’s oppressive clouds.
Since forming in 2006, this Swedish quintet have steadily established themselves as one of Europe’s premier underground rock bands.
Their first two albums – 2009’s Tva Sidor Av Horisonten and 2012’s widely acclaimed Second Assault – made it plain that the band have tapped directly into the heart of heaviness and guitar-wielding derring-do. Now, with their latest masterpiece, the vividly realised Time Warriors, Horisont are raising their game, refining and re-defining themselves and leaving the competition spluttering in the dust.
“Odyssey” was released in September 2015 via Rise Above Records.
“On the night of November 6th, 1979 Black Sabbath was at their most drug addled and explosive standing. They were on tour supporting their newly released Never Say Die album and had a night off in Los Angeles. After knocking back a few drinks at the infamous Rainbow Bar, they decided to check out the local rock scene at the Whiskey A-Go-Go. Arriving late, they caught the tail end of a set by The Circle Jerks. Feeling intimidated yet inspired, they rented a rehearsal space and spent the rest of the night jamming. For an unknown reason they exclusively played Thin Lizzy material and Keith Moon was sitting in… These events never took place. But if they did, the results may have sounded similar to Los Angeles’s The Shrine. Formed in 2008, The Shrine play a houserocking breed of heavy, psychedelic, riff based Rock n’ Roll. Their debut, recorded on vintage reel-to-reel tape, by local hero Dave O. Jones and under the auspices of the notorious Chuck Dukowski, is the perfect soundtrack to any debaucherous gathering of longhairs. If you and your rag-tag group of riff-raff friends are planning a road trip to Humboldt County to “Score”, this is the album you need to be listening to on the way. The Shrine is Josh Landau on guitar/vocals, Courtland Murphy on bass, and Jeff Murray on Drums.”
RARE BREED is their new full length album produced by Dave Jerden is coming out on Century Media Records October 30 in Europe and January 15 in America. Cover art by Kris Kirk, the 3rd now in the series with the Wolf, this time taking a trip deep into the jungle.

Arriving from Herndon, Virginia in a psychic blizzard of garage-birthed fury and fuzz-crazed abandon, Satan´s Satyrs stand proud as a malignant manifestation of all that´s debauched and demented in heavy music. What’s more, their incoming third album, “Don´t Deliver Us”, beamed in from a metaphysical zone of over-amped ´70s power trio action and exploitation-movie malice, may well be the most gory and glorious thing they’ve thus far wrenched into creation.
“We wanted to recapture the primitive thrust of rock ´n´ roll to our sound” asserts frontman Clayton Burgess, also of Electric Wizard, who indeed recently achieved the considerable feat of completing a Stateside sell-out tour performing double-duty in both bands. That was an absolutely exhilarating experience for us in Satyrs, he enthuses. It made us so much tighter as musicians and bandmates.”
