Saturnalia Temple
Chris Barnes
February 6, 2010
 I've been interviewing heavy music bands for the better part of a decade now, and there are always a handful that really stand out in my mind as being especially compelling reads. One of these will certainly be this interview with Tommie Eriksson of Sweden's amazing Saturnalia Temple. Last year's UR EP blew me away… a aural tour down the Left Hand Path, replete with unearthly mountains of majesty and bottomless chasms of sonic doomscapes. Littl...

Funeral Circle

 New doom blood from the north, and not Nordic north this time (from where I'm sitting B.C. Canada is north, literally). After doing this interview I really was surprised that these guys were so young, yet carry the metal torch as well as any of the older school metal heads can. As I read the responses to get the editing done, I was laughing my ass off in parts, these guys were honest and up front with their middle fingers waved high and p...

Old One

 When it comes to pure, unfiltered doom there's no way on Earth you can go wrong with Morehead, Kentucky's drum n' bass duo Old One. They bridge the noisy, rhythmic abandon of Godheadsilo with the epic scope and groove of Electric Wizard and of course, Black Sabbath, making for a conquering sound that all fans of doom should put an ear to. Totally DIY in their ethic, the band goes to great lengths for their cause from recording everything themselves, doing their...

Concept Of God

 I really can't write much of an intro to this one because so much is said in the interview that it "needs no introduction". So here it is, the true "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" of heavy metal told by Steve Moseley:
Hellride Music: You guys are not only legends, but long time veterans of the doom/metal scene as well. It shows in the music, high quality metal all around, but althou...

Atolah

 Here's a look at one of the new bands on the PsycheDOOMelic Roster, Atolah, who have laid down some pretty good tunes on their debut "Relics". If you dig riff heavy sludge jams then it's worth looking into this album for sure. Given the info in this interview, it's unbelievable that more preparation wasn't involved to pull it off, it's solid on it's own, but being a demo like EP and debut it really shows some talent is present there. S...

Tortured Spirit

December 29, 2009
 This interview with Tortured Spirit actually came about because Oddy contacted me, of all people, to do an interview and review the new album and the previous release as well; he felt that Hellride was the best place for a real review. Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to really hear these guys yet in the detail that I normally would when doing an interview, especially a review (I've only listened to the download versions once or...

Black Pyramid

December 22, 2009
 I still remember my accidental discovery of Black Pyramid. Doomed to boredom and wandering the back alleys of MySpace, I stumbled upon the BP Internet space. Knowing of Andy, liking Palace in Thunderland and seeing he was laying down guitars and vocals once again, I gave the demo tracks a listen; instantly found myself hooked and finally decided to break my silence and get in touch. Since, then we've become pals and I've been following BP's work ever since. BP has...

Elliott's Keep

December 17, 2009
 Elliott's Keep should not require an introduction, they are a new essential to any metal/doom collection that rank at the top with Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Sabbath, Paul Chain, Death SS, Pentagram for the doom folks. Rarely is there a band that hits it off on so many aspects. I can't even begin to describe the necessity of hearing this album, buy the fucking thing!!!!!!! This album is one of several huge landmark doom metal albums t...

The Bottle Doom Lazy Band
Janet Willis
December 17, 2009
 A bunch of beer drinking buddies having a great time jamming producing some damn good and heavy tunes, isn't that what many of us got into this shit for in the first place? I really enjoyed picking this album up, thanks Tim (SKR) for the introduction to this band in my deeper search for more doom and metal sounds. I really collect a ton of music and am really excited when something comes along that is just a little bit unique, ...

The Misanthrope Project
by Jay Snyder
December 17, 2009
 Ah, The Misanthrope Project; heavier than a 747 being drug by a pack of elephants, but psychedelic enough to please those who enjoy winding, labyrinth like song structures and general FX fuckery as well. TMP are an all star project featuring the noted talents of Charlie Lee Beasley (vocals, ex-Mugwart) and Vince Burke (guitar, many bands), along with a trio of other lean, mean, rootin' tootin' doom hombres who want nothing more than to rob your house, take y...
