Sad News: BOSSK quits

Sad news to receive this info: BOSSK, one of the tips into post rock/ post metal scene, has announced they split up. To those of you who can enjoy these guys on one of their two last shows, don't miss the chance!!!!

from their myspace:

It is with great saddness that I have to type this, but Bossk is no more.
We have decided to call it a day.
Alex has decided that he no longer wants to
be involved in the band, and we cant continue without him.
There wont be a
new album, we have cancelled all the shows we had booked. This may come as a
shock to many people, but things havent been right in the band since Nick and
Rob left earlier this year.
I want to take this opportunity to say a huge
thank you to everyone that has supported us in our time together, we have made
some amazing friends, and shared some great times with a lot of people and none
of this we could have achieved on our own.
There are too many people to thank
for all their help, but special mention goes to everyone at Eyes Of Sound
Records for their constant support. Along with all the staff at Rock Sound
magazine.
The DVD will still be released in October, and we will also be
releasing all our records in a Trilogy before the end of the year. There is talk
of adding additional footage to the DVD, more news on this when its all
decided.
We WILL be doing two final shows, one in Leeds and one in London,
more details on this when we have stuff sorted.
Thanks for the good
times.
Tom

Sad news: The end of DUSTER69

After 9 years, 4 full-length CDs, 4 professional video-clips, 4 Splits and Vinyl Singles and a lot of compilation contributions (Rock Hard Magazine Germany, People Like you Stoner compilation to mention a few) the guys decided to end the chapter of Duster69. We are still proud about the last years and we want to thank all the fans and supporters from 1999-2008.

We say THANK YOU and you can order our farewell compilation NOTHING LEFT (unreleased and rare stuff from 1999-2008, fat full-coloured artwork, linernotes, guests appearances from Calamus, Disengage, Sparzanza, Mother Misery, Stonewall Noise Orchestra) for only 6 Euros right now.
We 4 still rehearse and jam in our Studio, so far only to have fun, and maybe you will hear new music under a new name in the future.

And check out the videoclip DUSTCRUSHER from 2001 on www.myspace.com/duster69

R.I.P. Isaac HAYES

Isaac Hayes was found the 10th of August lying dead beside a still-running treadmill in a downstairs bedroom by his wife at his own house in Memphis.

Isaac Hayes was one of the first black music superstars of the '70s and its voice is one of the most peculiar into (any) music scene.

If you ever loved music, you had to enjoy Mr. Hayes' tunes. I still listen sometimes SHAFT OST...

Rest In Peace, brother.

Maligno - 2007 - Maligno

If we all talk about MALIGNO it is a must to mention the terms doom and southern rock, apart from store them among your best doom-stoner-rocks records on your shelves. That is, taking the cocktail shaker, putting equal parts of TROUBLE and BLACK SABBATH and shake it with the anger of DOWN, together along with late CORROSION OF CONFORMITY's tuned guitars... maybe... or so. In fact, MALIGNO was taking form meanwhile members were touring as a BLACK SABBATH's tribute band.

Anyway, if you are so lucky (clever if you ask for it now) to get MALIGNO's cd, you'll experience the same essence of doom into 2008, which will be the year of their second album. It will be the same feeling like if you discover today THE OBSESSED... if this could happen, heheheheh...

These "never born" arrive from Mexico, for you to know. And the sound could compete with the best producing into the scene all around the world, not for nothing is was produced by Mr. Colin Davis at Imperial Mastering L.A. Their product is a hard work with exceptional results. And I say exceptional because resulst are exactly what they wanted to mean.

Easy to understand if you check the cover of this CD: a big broken brow skull on black background together with in gothic font moniker MALIGNO. With this, what you get inside is what it is expected. Good vibe...

Some musical elements are new for the doomsters but they're not annoying on the final picture so don't worry about purity of this doom piece.

Ten tracks complete this album with no fissures and no filler. The album is almost 50 minutes and believe me you'll think it's shorter when the last track ends. And once you listen the album for a second time, some songs will make you wonder if this or that one you have heard it before some ago, and not because of similarities, which doom-stoner-rock riffs are always full of...

MALIGNO is currently releasing their new album so you better check them out the soonest!!!
