G.O.M.E. FAITHFUL ROLL CALL!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This post is basically just the suck-fest I promised when I got back. At that point, I tried to get all of your submissions posted, but in MIKE WATT fashion, I "jammed econo", and your submissions didn't get the proper posts they deserved. I see the same thing happening now, and while we appreciate your submissions, we can't guarantee proper posts. Mighty Matias has literally saved G.O.M.E. for all you guys over the past couple months. If it was just me, you might've had five, maybe ten records. With Matias on board, you're looking at 29 in August alone. That's almost one album per day. We're also getting a lot more traffic, and a lot more activity in the comments sections. You guys are downloading the music, telling people what you think, and uploading your own links. You guys kick ass.

Please forgive me if I forget anyone, but these are the people that make running G.O.M.E. fun:

The Good Captain (conspicuous by his absence as of late), Gav, Jordan, Anomic, Peluka, Scooby, Roadburner, Angelica, Rinjo, Blogs of Fury, Andres, Junkie, Ron, Iggy, Gordon, Slik, Rev. Atman, Jim, Zarakali, Brett, Yoyo, Mr. A, Rafael, Hook, Tyler, Masterburner, El Angel, Mike Zippo, Earthdog, Hersh, Lo-Res, Ogmonster, Generation Landslide, Patrick, Satanikus, Damal, El Rock Chingon, Earthdog, Adogg, Chris, Jon, and all you anonymous fucks smart enough to know that this list is really an international murder agenda.

Just kidding. Kinda.

I might not love you as much as Mighty Matias does, but I certainly appreciate your activity here at G.O.M.E., whether you're sharing links or opinions, or just offering suggestions. Thank you. You guys all kick ass.

SLO BURN - DEMOS (1996) ***RE-UP***

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's a handful of SLO BURN tracks that didn't make the Amusing the Amazing EP. Actually, they did, though in extremely limited quantities. Regardless, attaching these demo tracks to the end of an otherwise immaculately produced EP is a bit of an earsore. The songs are strong, especially "Positiva", but the sound quality is shit. That said, I present to you five SLO BURN tracks not included on the mainstream pressing of Amusing the Amazing, and simply say "do what you want".

STARCHILD - BORN INTO ETERNITY (2006)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This Georgia trio is a band I wanted to check out for a long time, but only recently did I get around to it. Being a huge FUNKADELIC fan, the band's name alone piqued my interest. I expected some groove-based heavy rock with a noticeable P-FUNK influence (similar to ASTROSONIQ or, to a lesser degree, GREATDAYFORUP). Well, as it turns out, STARCHILD's fascination with stars and space has absolutely nothing to do with the Mothership, but it does make for some fantastic semi-psych rock that should fit right in here at G.O.M.E. Born into Eternity is an amazing album, consistent in its content, chops, and experimentalism. The G.O.M.E. Faithful, at first listen, will no doubt draw comparisons to SHEAVY and SABBATH, though that will be based on the familiar tone of singer/guitarist Richard Bennett's voice. You guitarists out there will notice Bennett's chops right away, especially in the areas of writing great riffs AND songs. I'm not sure I've heard arpeggios, diminished chords, and rotating bass note melodies used to such an extent on music this heavy. Every track is a standout, though my personal favorites are "Earthless", "Love", and the title track. I recommend Born into Eternity to the G.O.M.E. Faithful as a whole. Just gloomy enough to appease the sons of SABBATH, but also packing enough octane to get the KYUSS/QOTSA crowd rockin'. Absolutely essential.

4. World Without End
5. Earthless

HERMANO - LIVE AT W2 + DEMOS ***RE-UP***

At the risk of turning G.O.M.E. into a "...formerly of KYUSS" appreciation page, here's HERMANO's 2005 live album. A+ sound and A+ performance. Highlights include "Landetta", of course, and a blistering cover of "TNT". You can still order this (I suggest the yellow vinyl), which I encourage you to do.

HERMANO - DEMOS (1999)

As a little bonus, I thought I'd also post these demo tracks. As five of the six tracks appear, in better form, on HERMANO's debut (Only a Suggestion), the set is noteworthy for the inclusion of "Never Boulevard", a rare Garcia ballad I haven't heard before or since.

ELECTRIC WIZARD - LIVE AT ROADBURN (2005) ***RE-UP***

Here's another ELECTRIC WIZARD set, this time from Holland's 2005 Roadburn Festival. It's a hell of a performance, and the sound quality is tops. G.O.M.E. visitors that dig WIZARD's earlier work will be delighted by the two-guitar version of "Return Trip". They jam it out for all ten brutal minutes before doubling that on the closer, "Supercoven". Crushing.

TEN EAST - EXTRATERRESTRIAL HIGHWAY (2006?)

This is "The desert rock All Star’s", Mario Lalli? You got it, Brant Bjork? Fuck yeah, Gary Arce from Yawning Man? sure man, they all met last year and after a couple of jamming they released "Extraterrestrial Highway", a road trip to nowhere, too "space" to be FATSO JETSON, too much Mario's FJ Guitar to be Yawning Man, yet, a nice balance between aforementioned groups, as for Brant's, he plays the bass here, so is not much his influence, though, you can fill the groove. Highlight for me is "Scrapping the Barrel", only three riffs make this the most shadowy song ever came out from Mario's guitar.
As they say, it's like Black Sabbath goes surfing, great for listening when thinking of nothing, however, I could say I expected a little more from this legends. Anyway It definitively deserves a post.

SAINT VITUS - LIVE (1989)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This live album - released by the mighty Southern Lord in 2005, but recorded in 1989 - captures Wino-era VITUS at their absolute best. In fact, Live might be a better career retrospective than the compilation intended to be just that, Heavier Than Thou. Wino is in top form here, not only vocally, but also hammering out riff after riff to accompany the grossly underrated Dave Chandler. The fact that quality SAINT VITUS boots are few and far between makes the band's only official live album (belated as it may be) absolutely essential. Every song here is a highlight, but also check for Chandler's homage to Batman during his solo break in "Clear Windowpane".

WITCH - WITCH (2005)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
To longtime G.O.M.E. guests, or anyone that's dug in the proverbial crates a bit, it'll come as no surprise that I am a huge fan of J Mascis and DINOSAUR JR. WITCH is J's doom metal side-project, though the term "doom metal" is obviously up for debate as it relates to this album. If Sabotage-era SABBATH and pre-Wino VITUS qualify, then WITCH fits the bill. The rub/gimmick here is that J supposedly subbed out his guitar duties in order to return to his original instrument: drums. Now this is mere speculation, but in my opinion, that was simply an attempt to put some distance between WITCH and J's work with DINO JR and THE FOG. I know for a fact that Asa Irons plays guitar live (with J on drums), but anybody with an ear for Mascis can hear him splitting duty with Irons on this album. For proof, one need look no further than the back-to-back guitar solos on the album's opener, "Seer". Singer Kyle Thomas contributes some guitar throughout the album, but again, Mascis' playing stands out, even amidst the chaos of this doomy free-jam atmosphere. As for Thomas's vocals, they're serviceable. He doesn't have a particularly strong voice, but J's mumbling and drawling howl certainly wouldn't work in this context. Highlights include "Black Saint" and the aforementioned "Seer", but the entire album is solid from start to finish.

SGT. SUNSHINE - SGT. SUNSHINE (2007)



I recently discover this, and I refused to download this because of their name and cover art, I thought, Oh boy, another Southern whisky-rock band, but nothing more far away from reality. It's a German band with multi-ethnic members (Egyptians, Germans, SouthAmericans, etc..) but what is more interesting is the sound they achieve, pretty hard to define, some passages will sound like Kyuss (Lots of Hommes riffs), but then they go to a more FATSO song, very dynamic album, there aren't two songs that sound the same. I recommend it for this weekend, probably the album of the year.

ASTROSONIQ - SOUND GRENADE (2002)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Before I ever even mention the greatness that is ASTROSONIQ, I need to thank Mighty Matias for kicking ass in my absence. He's brought a lot of great rock to the G.O.M.E. Faithful, and he will no doubt continue to do so. Thanks also to all you regs, and newbies as well, for being active in the comments and letting us know you appreciate what we're doing. Someday I'll get sentimental and over-appreciative and post a big fuckin' suckfest for all you guys helping with the blog, whether it's sharing links or information. But for now, I want to talk about ASTROSONIQ.

This is one of my favorite post-KYUSS bands. I'd put the "50N1C" up there with SASQUATCH and FIREBALL MINISTRY. The shit ROCKS - one listen to the title track and "Astronomicon" will prove that - but they're also a lot more diverse than most bands. ASTROSONIQ can almost "out-Kyuss" KYUSS on one track, then cover a GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION or FUNKADELIC jam on the next. To my ears, ASTROSONIQ (from the Netherlands) incorporates everything great about rock & roll into their own unique brand of music. A lot of you are thinking "Well, OK, sounds like FATSO JETSON to me", and I agree. The difference is in the songwriting. FATSO is a tried and true classic, but if they spent more time experimenting with melodies and structure, they'd probably sound a lot like ASTRO. To the uninitiated: G.O.M.E. proudly presents to you the bastard grandchild of FUNKADELIC, HAWKWIND, SABBATH, and KYUSS (of course, you also need to grab Son of A.P. Lady). Make sure you check out "Astronomicon" and "So Be It". You'll be a better person for digging them. Like the marquee reads, folks, we care about your future.

LOW RIDER - ODE TO IO (2000)



When I was a kid I thought that Sweden was all about Volvos, busty blonds and cold weather, but, there is more than that, such as great Rock groups, among them, is Low Rider, one of the finest Scandinavian that ever came out from there. After a split with Nebula they released this underrated masterpiece on 2000, and it sounds great. Off course you will find some Kyuss influence ("Anchor" track is like "Spaceship Landing" extension) and other tunes which probably will remind you to Monster Magnet, some early Fu Manchu, Atomic Bitchwax, and so on...
This is another "Must Have" if you consider yourself a proper G.O.M.E. reg.

VALIS- Vast Active Living Intelligence System(2002)**INTRO BY ANOMICELEVEN**

Mr ANOMICELEVEN who seems to be a big VALIS fan help me out with this intro, thanks man for getting involved.
What can I say about VALIS... after Kyuss broke up, Homme joined Screaming Trees as their second guitarist.. though he isn't on any albums, he toured with the band... then, of course, the Trees broke up, and Homme was working on QOTSA... There are a lot of the Seattle grunge guys on Desert Sessions 1 & 2, and the first Queens album came out on Stone Goassard's label Loosegroove... if I am not mistaken... anyways, after the Trees broke up... one of the Conner brothers.. and another Conner brother who wasn't in trees started this band... I think someone from Mudhoney was in VALIS originally.. Dan Peters maybe? Anyways... VALIS is the name of a novel by Philip K. Dick (you know... Minority Report, Blade Runner, etc)... and the main character in the novel is Horselover Fat... I don't know whether the conner bros are horselovers.. but...

Another major discovery brought to you by your G.O.M.E. fellows, since BJ turn me into Colour Haze world, I looked for everything of them and I stopped when I bumped with this, this is sort of the Colour Haze own “desert sessions”, fucking rare, but also brilliant, it’s more psych than their full releases, and way more experimental as well, but has that desert felling we all enjoy, long tracks, a lot of instrumental variations and those guitar licks that makes you grab your guitar immediately.

Che - Sounds of Liberation (2000)


I won’t be lying you if I told you this is probably one of the best records Brother Brant ever made (aside from Kyuss and Fu) this one is at the same level of the all mighty Jalamanta. With Alfredo Hernandez on drums and Dave Dinsmore (Unida) on bass, they merge in a more desert and more tight release, this is closer to Fu Manchu early days and nowadays Brant Somera Sol, is the perfect balance between all Brant ever did. This will quickly become ones of your favorites, no kidding, man

SASQUATCH - II (2006) ***BY REQUEST***

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The Ogmonster requested this Los Angeles masterpiece, and I'm happy to post it. SASQUATCH's sophomore effort is one of my favorite albums of the past couple of years. While the band's eponymous debut was excellent, II offers a bit more variety, namely the mellower moments of "Nikki" and "Catalina". For the uninitiated, SASQUATCH is an incredible band from LA that melds a traditional groove-heavy desert vibe with traces of SOUNDGARDEN and the occasional dash of southern-fried whiskey rock. Keith Gibbs currently employs my favorite guitar tone in rock. Don't let the SOUNDGARDEN similarities discourage you. Keith's guitar is probably the fuzziest in the business right now, and his voice and talent allow the band to take full advantage of memorable, but powerful hooks. Check out "The Judge" and "Barrel of a Gun", then pay the good folks at Small Stone a visit. Highly recommended.

I heard that brother Brant is involved in this, although, I can’t recognize his trade mark here.

This is a superb album, from head to toe, 50 minutes of well overdriven guitars smashing riffs and no singing at all.

MOTORHEAD - FM BROADCAST - WACKEN, GERMANY (2006)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Here's a great live set from MOTORHEAD, broadcast live last year in Germany. I saw a similar set just last October in Kansas City, and aside from a couple of ruptured eardrums, I had the time of my life! MOTORHEAD is a love-'em-or-hate-'em band, and I know it's not standard G.O.M.E. fare, but they're one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a personal favorite of mine. I wish I had a quality soundboard of the show I saw in KC. Again, it was very similar to this one, with "Just Cos You Got the Power" replacing "I Got Mine" and a longer jam on "Overkill". I believe we did well, though. The crowd was great throughout, and if I'm not mistaken, the show I attended was MOTORHEAD's sole US appearance in 2006. Phil Campbell never fails to blow my mind, and he doesn't disappoint on this set. I hate the term "underrated", because no great rock guitarists get a lot of press, but Phil's one of the greatest rock guitarists out there, and you rarely hear or read anything about him. At least in the US. Highlights include "Dancing on Your Grave", "Killed by Death", and of course the jammed-out closer, "Overkill".

COLOUR HAZE - PERISCOPE (1999) ***BY REQUEST***

This band was requested by Gordon, and I couldn't be more delighted. Even Matias is unfamiliar with Germany's COLOUR HAZE, so this could be a chance to turn the G.O.M.E. faithful on to some serious rock. I chose to up Periscope because it's my personal favorite, but there's a lot more where this came from. COLOUR HAZE is actually one of my favorite post-KYUSS bands, and they seem to evolve with each release. On this album, Stefan Koglek borrows from Josh Homme's KYUSS book as far as guitar tones are concerned, especially his lead tones. The standout to me is absolutely "Sun", which also happens to be my favorite COLOUR HAZE tune. The groove is irresistible, but the lead melody line will have all you G.O.M.E. axe-slingers grabbing your guitars as soon as you hear it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

MONSTER MAGNET - DOPES TO INFINITY (1995) ***BY REQUEST***

An anonymous member of the G.O.M.E. faithful requested this one, and the uninitiated now owe him a huge debt of thanks. My favorite MM release next to the great Superjudge is probably Spine of God, but Dopes to Infinity tends to slide into that spot every time I listen to it. This album also features my favorite MAGNET song, "Negasonic Teenage Warhead", which was actually played on the radio in '95 (those were the days)! "Look to Your Orb", "King of Mars", and the title track are MM classics as well.

1. Dopes to Infinity
2. Negasonic Teenage Warhead
3. Look to Your Orb for the Warning
4. All Friends and Kingdom Come
5. Ego, the Living Planet
6. Blow 'Em Off
7. Third Alternative
8. I Control, I Fly
9. King of Mars
10. Dead Christmas
11. Theme from "Masterburner"
12. Vertigo
