Music of the Week – Grimm Jack – Hang ‘Em High

Time for some more hard rock! Grimm Jack was (and is) one of the best indie hard rock / sleaze bands of the ’80s. They released a couple of tapes (Go for you guns, Partners in Crime and Jailhouse Tattoo) but never got the attention they deserved, despite great songwriting skills and incendiary energy. The […]

Music of the Week – Wildside – How Many Lies + a small update

Time for some sleaze metal! Enjoy one of the finest unlucky bands of the Sunset Strip of the early ’90s. Known before as Young Gunns, Wildside released one of the very best sleaze metal albums, “under the influence”, beating Guns n Roses and Motley Crue at their very own game. However, sleaze was beginning to […]

Music of the Week – The Legendary Golden Vampires – A Young Girl Is Gone

Time for a very nice garage tune, with a slight of Nick Cave sound too, from the German ’80s. Very little is known about this obscure band. Their name is a reference to the “the legend of the seven golden vampires” horror b-movie.

Music of the Week – Orodruin – Epicurean Mass

Orodruin is the doomish and riff-filled creature of the talented John Gallo. This is the title track of their 2003 album, Epicurean Mass. It’s a very good slab of psychedelic doom metal, immersive and hypnotic, when the genre still wasn’t popular in the metal scene as it is today.

Hello!

Music of the Week – The Zolge – (No Dream) In A Target

Excellent track from the 1986 “in a target” single, and one of Zolge’s finest songs. Enjoy the different influences that the genius of Mr Haruhiko Ash blends tastefully into this track, with some tasty female vocals as well :)

Music of the Week – Jonathan Wilson – Desert Raven

This is a very retro-sounding folk / psychedelic song. It seems like out of the hippie ’60s, but in fact it’s from 2011…off the album “gentle spirit”. Enjoy!

Music of the Week – Morphine – Cure For Pain

One of Morphine’s best known song. Classic bluesy sound (bass + sax) at it’s best.

Music of the Week – Funeral Party – Dream of Embryo

Time for some Japanese coldwave! Funeral Party released only this 7″ in 1986 (this song is the B-Side), plus some tracks on the “vision of the emotion” compilation (1985), both under Pafe Records. Cover art is drawn by Suehiro Mauro, a famous mangaka known for his sadic-erotic-psycological-plain psycho aesthetics. Enjoy!
