THE BROUGHT LOW - RIGHT ON TIME (2006)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Whiskey rock from Brooklyn? Well, not exactly, but THE BROUGHT LOW does bring a tractor trailer's worth of southern influences to the table. Our main man Jordan requested the debut, which features "Goddamn God Bless", but G.O.M.E. decided to post the band's most recent release, Right on Time. It's the better of the two albums, in my opinion, as well as a stonerrock.com favorite. Equal parts AC/DC and LYNYRD SKYNYRD, THE BROUGHT LOW is a band I thought would rival QOTSA on mainstream radio and Billboard charts. Of course, QOTSA has a multinational conglomerate pimping their records while THE BROUGHT LOW's two albums have been released on Tee Pee and Small Stone, respectively. A throwback to simpler times, when rock & roll was both fun and powerful, Right on Time is highly recommended to the Faithful.

ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY/HALFWAY TO GONE - SPLIT (2000)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Here's a split release from everyone's favorite sons of the south, ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, paired with New Jersey (and SOLARIZED) expatriates HALFWAY TO GONE. As splits go, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more likely tandem. Aside from both sides kicking ass to the Nth degree, this split is also notable for being H2G's debut. "Thee Song" might actually be the highlight of the record, though it's hard to overlook the mighty ATP's two contributions. I enjoy the more recent Kyle Thomas ATP stuff, but these tracks are a trip down memory lane...back to the Johnny Thockmorton-fronted Man's Ruin days. Four fantastic shots of the absolute top shelf of whiskey rock.

1. ATP - Heavyweight
2. ATP - Rabdos (The Strangler)
3. H2G - Darktown Strutter

COLOUR HAZE - CO2 (2000)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The G.O.M.E. Faithful seems to really dig COLOUR HAZE, so I thought I'd share this gem from 2000. While COLOUR HAZE eventually became a unique band of a class all their own, this particular record displays a very distinct KYUSS influence. While not quite up to the standards of the band's more recent efforts, CO² is a very solid desert-inspired rock album, and shows many signs of the brilliance that would come later. Highlights include "Motormind" and the epic closing title track.

1. Get It On

ACRIMONY - A SOMBRE THOUGHT [DEMO] (1992) ***BY REQUEST***

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This one's for our main man Roadburner (sorry for the delay, bro). The rest of you can take it or leave it. A lot of people hate ACRIMONY, calling them knockoffs, wanna-bes, poseurs, trend-hoppers, and various other disparaging names. Hell, I believe G.O.M.E.'s own Mighty Matias put it bluntly on this very page: "I don't like ACRIMONY". Well, this demo from '92 is proof positive that ACRIMONY did indeed ape, or attempt to ape, the desert sound. A Sombre Thought is death doom with some thrash/speed metal passages. Based on this tape, you'd never in a million years imagine this band releasing some of the best desert-influenced groove-based rock of the old century. If I haven't made myself clear, let me come right out and say it: I love ACRIMONY, but I never listen to A Sombre Thought. Thank god these guys discovered KYUSS.

VIAJE A 800 - DIABLO ROTO DË (1999)


Stoner rock from Spain, these guys offer a heavy psych very similar to Los Natas when it comes to song structure, nice mellow acoustics, great ambience, a bit dark from time to time, but it worth to have a listen. It has all you demand from an European band plus they sing in Spanish in some tracks, so.....

OPERATOR GENERATOR - POLAR FLEET (2001)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Yet another forgotten Man's Ruin casualty, brought to you by G.O.M.E. In 2001, as the legendary Man's Ruin was circling the drain, they managed to crank out this surprisingly consistent and thoroughly enjoyable album from San Jose's OPERATOR GENERATOR. As you're all no doubt aware, some bands had better luck than others when it came to getting their music heard post-Man's Ruin, and OPERATOR GENERATOR were, unfortunately, one of the more overlooked bands. As for the music itself? They owe the requisite debts to SABBATH, but there's a lot more going on here. These guys were equally influenced by the experimentation and melodic sense of late '60s/early '70s psych rock. Polar Fleet is a bit brief, but it's a great rock & roll record that will have no trouble holding your attention. "Soul of Lavamore", featuring an electric sitar, is worth the cost of admission alone. Highly recommended.

DEAD MEADOW - DEAD MEADOW (2001)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This is a band I haven't seen discussed much here at G.O.M.E., so I thought I'd offer up their debut. It took me some time to really catch on to Washington DC's DEAD MEADOW, though now I can't get enough of them. To be perfectly honest, Jason Simon is still far from my favorite vocalist, and DEAD MEADOW's eponymous release is far from their best work, but it's a great place to start. The pieces were already in place, from the fuzz-fest opener "Sleepy Silver Door", through the trippy ballad "Dragonfly", all the way through the closing "Rocky Mountain High" (no, not the John Denver song of the same name). Perhaps most interesting are the bizarre twists and turns between those tracks. Is this stoner rock? Neo-Psychedelia? Indie rock? I'm not particularly fond of compartmentalizing music and attaching cute little labels to it. DEAD MEADOW is amazing in the sense that they're absolutely impossible to categorize.

ACRIMONY - THE ACID ELEPHANT EP (1995)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I intended to post this one a long time ago, but, for whatever reason, I never got around to it. ACRIMONY was one of my favorite bands, and The Acid Elephant EP is no disappointment. I find this brief collection of songs to be the perfect compliment to the classic Hymns to the Stone. "Spaced Cat #7" is ACRIMONY at its absolute best, and I'm sure you'll all agree that "The Bud Song" definitely serves its purpose. Overall, The Acid Elephant EP is essential to the collection of any ACRIMONY fan.

THE ELEVATOR SESSIONS - UPDATE

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Alright, GOMIES (© Mighty Matias), I'm finally mellow enough to post some information regarding THE ELEVATOR SESSIONS. It isn't much, but here's the plan:

-- Everything at this point is merely speculative. I think I know what will work best, but Gordon and I are going to try it out on a cover of "Zombie Eaters". Like I said before, the best way to make this work is to share a sound editor. I'm in the process of sending Gordon some stuff (sorry I didn't get to it yesterday, bro...long day, then Big Biz/Melvins show!), and we'll see how it works from there. It's easier to all use the same sound editor because it enables us to transfer multi-track files, add and subtract from them EQ them, and mix them. When Gordon and I get "Zombie Eaters" knocked out, I'll hopefully be sending the file to our main man Jimmy Morbid, over at S2S, for some crazy keys. I don't want any of you to feel left out, this is just two or three dudes making a quick trial run in order to figure out how exactly we're going to make this happen.

-- Alright, so many of you have stepped up to contribute I can't even remember you all! I've kept the previous post bookmarked and will check the comments often. One of these days, when I'm not so fucking lazy, I'll post a roll call with contributors/instruments and all that jazz. 'Til then, I can honestly say that we need someone to step up and say "I'm a good singer"...or at least "I'm a good shouter/growler/screamer".

-- We also need drums. Or at least someone with the gear to program semi-believable tracks. I hate real mechanical-sounding drums, and I'm sure the G.O.M.E. Faithful does as well. If that's what we have to do, though, then we'll have to do it.

-- MORE BASS! Gordon is the man, and he stepped up first, but I doubt he wants to play bass on every song. If so, then fuck, it might as well be Worldwide Undergordon! I'm going to play a little bass, but we need you guys to speak up now and commit to the project.

-- Be patient. This is gonna be a long process. It'll be incredible when we're finished, but it's gonna take some time. I still need to get with a couple of my buddies, who are G.O.M.E. LURKERS (not FAITHFUL...fuckin' cunts), as well as X-Angel, when we finish "Zombie Eaters".

This shit is gonna rock!

If you've been hanging around G.O.M.E. for very long, then you know that we like to throw you the occasional curve-ball. This is one that I think a lot of you will dig...especially if you're familiar with the brilliance that is TURBONEGRO. I believe there is something for just about everyone here, as long as you're in on the joke. TN is all about being absolutely outrageous, and the bands here honor the originals accordingly. The G.O.M.E. Faithful will appreciate appearances from NASHVILLE PUSSY and a Homme/Oliveri/Grohl-powered QOTSA. Other great renditions come by way of HOT WATER MUSIC, PEEPSHOWS, MOTORPSYCHO, and the great THERAPY?.

THE ELEVATOR SESSIONS?

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mighty Matias recently brought this up to me, and I loved the idea, so I thought I thought I'd pass it along and gauge interest while he's on highatus (© The Good Captain).

The majority of G.O.M.E.'s most active visitors are musicians themselves. Many of them are playing gigs or writing songs as I type this. The technology is available for all of us to collaborate, pass tracks back and forth via email, and work out some fantastic original rock. I'd love to do something like that! Even if we're the only ones that ever hear it, it'll be a lot of fun, and I think everyone would get a big kick out of it. Plus, it'll be QUALITY ROCK & ROLL, which is what G.O.M.E. is all about.

A few members of the Faithful are in active bands, already writing and recording and performing. We could include their tracks, but hopefully encourage them to get involved in the improv process. Like I just told our main man Rinjo, we could steal Erykah Badu's title: "Worldwide Underground". We've got USA, Argentina, Chile, Germany, UK, Australia, and Japan, plus many others ready to jam and make some good music. Worldwide indeed!

So I need to know what you guys think. Are you a musician? Are you interested in contributing to "The Elevator Sessions"? Are you just a rock & roll enthusiast but not a musician? Are you interested in hearing what your G.O.M.E. peers can come up with?

I think it's an awesome idea, and I look forward to your comments.

TOADLIQUOR - THE HORTATOR'S LAMENT (2003)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This one's for Tito and X-Angel, but should appeal to a great deal of the G.O.M.E. Faithful. The download statistics don't lie, and EYEHATEGOD's Take as Needed for Pain is the second most downloaded record in the history of the blog, so TOADLIQUOR should fit right in. The Hortator's Lament can be described with one word: BRUTAL. Don't let the literacy and proggy nature of the song titles discourage you. While the album is actually a collection of previously-released wax-only tracks, with a few unreleased songs added for good measure, it plays like a concise LP. Highly recommended to G.O.M.E.'s sludgehead contingent, as well as open-minded doom enthusiasts who appreciate SOURVEIN, GRIEF, and the aforementioned EYEHATEGOD.

MELVINS - HOUDINI LIVE 2005: A LIVE HISTORY OF GLUTTONY & LUST (2006)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
A Live History of Gluttony & Lust is the acclaimed "live" version of the classic Houdini record. Never a band to court convention of any kind, LHG&L is not "live" in the traditional sense, but in the purest. There is no crowd noise, because there is no crowd. There is no between-song banter, because there's no audience with whom to engage said banter. No, friends, this is not a concert recording, but rather a live recording of King Buzzo, Dale Crover, and Trevor Dunn playing Houdini in an abandoned warehouse. The sound is immaculate (as one generally expects from a MELVINS recording) and the performance, in my opinion, outshines the 1993 studio recordings. Over the years, Buzz and Dale have proven time and time again that they're comfortable pushing the creative envelope as far as they see fit. It keeps the band inconsistent and unpredictable, which makes them interesting. Despite all their token ribs and pranks, LHG&L proves that, to paraphrase an ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY song, rockin' is indeed their business.

EARTHRIDE - TAMING OF THE DEMONS (2002)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After the prompt dissolution of SPIRIT CARAVAN (a trait unsettlingly common among Wino projects), bassist David Sherman passed his four-string to Rob Hampshire, grabbed his little-used SM-58, and formed EARTHRIDE. Taming of the Demons is damn near flawless, though the first thing most G.O.M.E. regs will notice is the fantastic sound of the album. This immaculate production is compliments of none other than Mike Dean, of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY fame. Let it be said that EARTHRIDE isn't breaking any new ground. The band knows its strengths and plays to them without much deviation or experimentation. Upon first listen, the uninitiated and the skeptical might think Big Jack has pulled a prank, uploading a MOTORHEAD 45 at 33 speed. In fact, if the opener, "Valiume 10", doesn't remind you of On Parole, then you're probably reading the wrong blog. Sherman's vocals, displayed occasionally with SPIRIT CARAVAN, do recall Lemmy, and at times they seem like an odd fit coupled with such groove-heavy rock & roll. The oddity works, though. Just check out "Under a Black Cloud" for proof. There's a distinct southern influence to this record, along with some trappings of traditional doom metal, but EARTHRIDE never loses its focus or its groove. Highly recommended to fans of CORROSION, CROWBAR, DOWN, SPIRIT CARAVAN, and anyone that just wishes MOTORHEAD would slow down more often.

CAVE IN - BOOTLEG (2003)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Not exactly standard G.O.M.E. fare, but as I've said in the past, as go Big Jack's moods, so go his G.O.M.E. contributions. I've been on a big "post-metalcore" kick as of late, though you'll never hear me utter that lame fucking genre tag, or see me type it, again. Cave In, currently on indefinite hiatus, is (was?) the great Caleb Scofield's pre-ZOZOBRA vehicle. In fact, some of the songs on ZOZOBRA's Harmonic Tremors were initially intended to be CAVE IN songs. Despite abandoning their hardcore roots in favor of melody (and a Lollapalooza appearance, not to mention a failed run at RCA) and structure, CAVE IN has released some excellent music. This record is a great primer for skeptics, released in very limited quantities and distributed for free by the band itself. Kicking off with a ZEPPELIN cover, followed by three demos and a CODEINE cover, and closing with a brutal live recording of "Inspire" (check for the "Twist of Cain" parody at the end!), CAVE IN's self-released Bootleg is a hidden gem in the crown of a brilliant and multi-faceted band. Recommended to fans of OLD MAN GLOOM, ZOZOBRA, ISIS, and all things Caleb Scofield. For more info from the band itself, click here.

DELMAR - NATAS (1998)


Their first release on Mans Ruin (R.I.P.), the one which caught everybody's attention, yet, not their best for me, but you have to think we are talking about 1998.

This has been chosen as one of the 10 essential albums of the entire genre by stonerrock.com, isn't overrated? Well you figure it out....

THE ATOMIC BITCHWAX - BOXRIFF (2006)


This is a debt for all our gomies, some time ago, our friend Scooby Doom (No longer with us bcz he was kicked out of his job for abusing of Internet) so, here is one of the best live performances heard in quite some time, pretty damn solid and precise set and 4 new studio tracks that totally bring it, make this one, one of a kind. I wouldn't say it's a live record if it weren't for the ambience and drum reverb, the guitar sounds closely the same than the studio recordings, I would ask some more improvisation, but that's me. ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
Anyway, since I'm very glad how the blog is running, I added some bonus for you to enjoy.

SIXTY WATT SHAMAN - SEED OF DECADES (2000) ***BY REQUEST***

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This one was requested by our main man Peluka after a stroll through the playlist to your right. SIXTY WATT SHAMAN is a band I enjoy, despite occasionally treading a little too close to retro novelty rock for my tastes. This band often reminds me of a less-campy GRAND FUNK RAILROAD...though I guess recalling GFR in itself is quite campy. Daniel Kerzwick is one of the better vocalists in "stoner rock", and the band certainly isn't afraid to experiment. "Fear Death by Water" is a highlight, as is the very ZEPPELIN-esque "Roll the Stone". Overall, it's a hell of a record, but you keep waiting for the band to find its own unique voice, and that's something they fail to accomplish on this otherwise impressive release.

There's a lot to be said for KALAS. First and foremost, Matt Pike's involved. If you don't know what that means, then chances are you've inadvertently stumbled across the wrong blog. KALAS also features CRUEVO's Paul Kott (guitar) and Scott Plumb (drums). The rub here is that the legendary Pike only plays guitar on one song, acting almost solely as the band's lead singer. Singer. Take it literally. Some will say Pike simply needed an outlet for his more melodic stuff, as opposed to the brutality of HIGH ON FIRE, but the truth is that KALAS features Pike's most inspired writing and vocals to date. I love "Dragonaut" and "Blessed Black Wings" as much as the rest of you, but in my opinion "Frozen Sun" is better than both of those Pike classics. This is one of those essential records that slips under everyones' radar until years later. People who claim to sit through Dopesmoker sober will continue to bash KALAS, but G.O.M.E.'s never been about posing. It's always been about great rock & roll, and that's exactly what this band brings to the table.

BRANT BJORK - JALAMANTA (1999) ***BY REQUEST***

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This one's for Seth who just happened to drop in and find himself in good company. Another Man's Ruin classic, and arguably Brother Brant's best record. A lot of you prefer Brant's more rockin' stuff, and I certainly respect that, but I've always found Jalamanta to be an experience unto itself. We know Brant can rock, and we know he also loves soul, funk and jazz. Jalamanta is a little light on the former, and heavy on the latter three. That, in my opinion, makes this album absolutely essential. For the most part, Jalamanta is a one-man-band that sounds like a jam. The only other musician present is G.O.M.E. fave Mario Lalli, and his contributions are limited and under the proverbial radar at best. This is Brother Brant's show, and he morphs into Prince and makes a one-man-band sound like a live jam. Absolutely essential, but don't look for KYUSS or FU MANCHU or BB & THE BROS. sounds. You can't have a closed mind here. Regardless of your preferences, though, it'll be impossible to walk away from Jalamanta without respecting Brant Bjork.

KYUSS - DEMON CLEANER EP pts 1&2


A collectors item, the great thing about this EP are the two Pre-Circus versions of Rodeo and Hurricane, which sound very similar to edited versions, except for Garcia's singing tone, plus other voice effects, the live tracks has acceptable sound quality too, so, there's no much to say, it's Kyuss man..

The first CD has the following songs on it:
1. Demon Cleaner
2. Day One
3. El Rodeo (pre-Circus)
4. Hurricane (pre-Circus)

The second CD has these songs on it:
1. Demon Cleaner (yeah, again, but I left out from the file, it’s the same in CD1)
2. Gardenia (live)
3. Thumb (live)
4. Conan Troutman (live)
The live tracks were recorded at Marquee club, Hamburg (Germany).

GONZALES - GONZALES (2004)



This post is more like an exercise for you my “Gomies” than a proper post, in fact, I don't like at all this band, but, you never know, may be some of you will appreciate it. I was searching on my collection what to post and found this one, don't know how or why it came to me, but the idea of this post is to test how much riff in this album can you recognize, I 've found more than 5, some of them very obvious.
The band sounds tight, has some good instrumental skills and sound quality it’s up to standard, but they totally lack of inventiveness man, in my country we call that just plain “aggravated burglary”.....
I read somewhere that the record that followed this one (Torero-2006) it’s actually better, but, to be honest, I didn't bother to dig it.
To balance you guys for this weak post I added some bonus that could be useful for some of you.
Sorry man, I'm running out of ideas....haha

EARTHLINGS? - EARTHLINGS? (1998)

Earthlings?, yeah man, Earthlings, that forsaken bunch of Palm Springs veterans, great album, if I have to define it, i'll put it somewhere between Orquesta del Desierto and the earliest Desert Sessions, definitively a different approach to what we know as Desert Rock, some passages reminds me also to Jalamanta, and after a few listens, you'll be able to recognize Dave Catching's musical concepts.
I think this was a pretty damn good conceptual album, a bit ahead for that time; it still sounds fresh and clean. You heard it first on G.O.M.E.


1. Nothing
2. Saving Up For My Spaceship/Illuminate
3. Reaper (Don't Fear This Child)
4. Cavalry
5. Happiest Day Of My Life
6. Conversing Among Misfits
7. Mars On Fire
8. Stungun
9. The Dreaded Lovelies
10. Icy Halls Of Sobriety (I Dare Not Tread)
11. Triumphant March Of The Buffoons
