Track of the Week #3 – Lord Dying ‘A Wound Outside of Time’

This crushing new song from Portland’s sludgers, Lord Dying, is fast becoming the soundtrack to my week (not thematically, it’s just thick with an infectious doomy groove). Taken from their new album ‘Poisoned Altars’ due 26th January next year on Relapse Records. As a big fan of their debut, Summon the Faithless, this track’s already proving to be a good omen for what they have … Continue reading Track of the Week #3 – Lord Dying ‘A Wound Outside of Time’

Offspring ‘Smash’ 20 Years Old (Yesterday).

OK, I’m a day late to the party and I didn’t even buy streamers, but it’s just come to my attention that ‘Smash’, The Offspring’s classic third album was 20 years old yesterday. Not particularly exciting new in itself, plenty of things happened 20 years ago [insert one of the thousands of Cobain tributes here]. But, for me, ‘Smash’ was the definitive album that took … Continue reading Offspring ‘Smash’ 20 Years Old (Yesterday).
