Ultraphallus - ULTRAPHALLUS formed in Liége, Belgium in 2004, and after a succession of album releases and high profile European tour slots they are back with their third album and a new sound. "Sowberry Hagan" was recorded in just four days in a farm near Liége. The album combines their well-honed sound of cacophonous guitar riffs juxtaposed with hypnotic, ambient doom whilst also experimenting with new sounds. They have certainly pulled out all the stops for "Sowberry Hagan" as they have also recruited the help of special guest Eugene Robinson (Oxbow) who carries his trademark voice for an epic eight minute ambient-rock track. The result is an album more dark and more encompassing as ever before.
"...a grisly new force at large in extreme music" - ROCK-A-ROLLA
"Kiddies, this is one dark experience that irrigates your heart and blasts open your wintertime synapses; one motherfucker of a T R I P, perpetual and ever-unfolding like some ambient panto of Metal Deluge" - JULIAN COPE

Hey Colossus - With a mission of creating "subterranean rumblings of sludgy rock using three guitars" rarely has a band been more appropriately-named than HEY COLOSSUS. HEY COLOSSUS has concocted an utterly crushing sound based on he inspiration of the MELVINS, BLACK FLAG and BLACK SABBATH, and other influences including bands like CAN and BEEFHEART into what sounds like a truckload of distortion pedals falling down a cliff onto a mountain of anvils, just to see how much noise it'll make.
"Combining cyborg-like Krautrock rhythms, the clangorous bass of Killdozer and the howling white noise of Wolf Eyes" - NME

Night Shark - debut gig for these N16 based transients, but you'll probably recognise most of them if you've ever been to the Stoke Newington Wetherspoons. Crash Worship meets Herb Alpert on acid.
