BONGZILLA: Gateway [Green amp-fueled sludge never sounded so good. Bongzilla return with their second full-length and boy, was the three year wait worth it. Gateway is heavier, catchier and more rockin than its predecessor Stash. If you thought Matt Pike's tone was massive, wait til you hear the low ends the boys crank out on songs like "Stone A Pig" and "Greenthumb". It's enough to loosen the filling in those rotted teeth. While the "seeds" that were planted on Stash still abound, they have loosened up their sound a bit to give it a bluesier feel. And man, do these songs swing. Even the smoked-seared vocals have a catchiness to them. Just listen to the "Califor-ny-A" part in "Stone A Pig". Wendy Schnieder has done an excellent job in capturing the band's heaviness. The production is a lot cleaner than Stash's while heavier at the same time.It seems the band has taken some cues from it's side project Cuda, by adding a lot of uptempo parts to the mix. This new element really separates them from the Eyehategods, Cavitys and Iron Monkeys of the sludge scene. In fact, Bongzilla have reached a level where new bands will be influenced by them.

5 out of 5 stars Stunning Psychedelic Rock
By Tom Chase (London)
To my pleasant shock, this album completely floored me. It was a similar feeling to that of my first Kyuss listen, the experience that got me obsessed and addicted to the stoner/psychedelic genre. Those pounding riffs, fuzzy and deep tones, laced in swirling and hypnotic guitar licks - it was a real listening experience, and one that really spoilt me for a long time, as hardly any other bands can re-create such genius. Well, Colour Haze's self-titled album has taken me back to that experience, and I can honestly say that this is the best stoner/psychedelic album I have listened to for a long, long time.

Boston metal with elements of hardcore, stoner, sludge and psychedelia!

Cursed are Canada's newest metallic monstrosity fronted by vocalist and lyricist Chris Colohan, formerly of The Swarm, Left For Dead, and Ruination. Their musical approach is a flooring culmination of political punk energy (Discharge, Nausea, His Hero Is Gone), bulldozing metal power (think early Entombed, Celtic Frost), and the all powerful earth shaking dirge (think Sleep, Neurosis, Melvins).
Cursed worked out some lethal songs, Cursed has recorded some of the most violently harsh and heavy songs the world will ever hear. They bring much anguish, as everything that is held dear by civilization will be victimized by the Cursed horde.
