Sonic Flower – ‘Sonic Flower’/’Rides Again’ (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Posted by | Jan 21, 2021 | ,

The name of Tatsu Mikami will be one well-known to aficionados of the more psychedelic end of the doom metal spectrum, as the distinctive-looking bassist has towered over the Japanese scene like a modern-day Godzilla, mainly thanks to his role as the driving force behind the serial-killer obsessed Church of Misery. It could be argued, I suppose, that Sonic Flower is a long-omitted sidebar to the CoM storyline, as the first of this coupling of albums was released back in 2003, while the second has lain gathering cobwebs in a Tokyo vault for the better part of 15 years, finally being dusted down and thrust, belatedly, into the light of day.

London based three-piece post-punkers False Heads created quite a stir with the digital release of their debut album ‘It’s All There But You’re Dreaming’ last year, with the band netting one million streams on Spotify and over 500K on Apple Music, and gaining radio support at R1, 6music and Radio X amongst others. Plus, Iggy Pop is a fan, which can’t be a bad thing. This month sees the album re-released on physical formats, which promises to bring the album to an even wider audience.

Being a lifelong obsessive of horror film and a fanboy nut for ‘90’s industrial and metal, John M was more than intrigued when this crossed his desk. JoeyDiabolic is a kindred spirit of the horror/White Zombie Fandom who has been releasing singles that meld the two worlds together for a while now (including homages to Friday The 13th and Halloween), and he finally got to JM’s happy place – the wonderful carnival that is A Nightmare On Elm Street.

Edenbridge – ‘The Chronicles of Eden Pt. 2’ (Steamhammer/SPV)

“Well, we’ve had one greatest hits album, yes, but what about a second one?” When you’re a band that have been around as long as Edenbridge, that’s exactly the kind of question you end up asking yourself. With a career that has spanned over 20 years and resulted in ten studio albums and three live albums, there’s a lot of music to take in! But fortunately, the band released their first greatest hits ‘The Chronicles of Eden’ in 2007 that covered the first five albums, and now the aptly named ‘Chronicles of Eden Pt. 2’ is here to provide an easily digestible form of the most recent five albums from 2008 to the present day!

20 Watt Tombstone – ‘Year of the Jackalope’ EP (Self-Released)

If you were asked to describe 2020 in one sentence, you could do worse than “it was a Jackalope of a year”. Death blues duo 20 Watt Tombstone were in the midst of touring with Doomstress in March when the madness of the pandemic hit. As venues cancelled shows, they headed home to Wisconsin, only to spend the next nine months watching the chaos unfold. Tough for a band who are known for their love of the road and especially given the high of their 2019 European tour. So, they put their effort into ‘Year of the Jackalope’, their third release since they took on the ‘Tombstone identity in 2001 (previously ‘The Goddams’). This EP title represents the barely believable, warped reality that 2020 became.
