Weatherhead

Helms Alee is a 3 piece band from Seattle, Washington. One guy with a beard (Ben Verellen of These Arms Are Snakes), and two chicks. They all share vocal duties and scream and stuff. Sometimes they all sing together in harmony and it sounds beautiful. The music reminds me of Torche and other similar heavy/stoner/orange amp using/metal that seems to be ever so popular these days. Enjoy this unique band who know how to actually write songs.

Nucleus

Dawnbringer, once Death Metal, now Heavy Metal band from Pennsylvania have tightened their belts for their newest release. Featuring Chris Black of Nachtmystium fame, Dawnbringer have tweaked their original sound for something new that can only be described as Heavy Metal with elements of Doom, Stoner, NWOBHM, and even Black Metal. The riff's and guitar work on this album are purely amazing and definitely outshine previous efforts from this band. "Nucleus" will definitely go down as the bands best release so far, so check it out!

Black Sleep of Kali

Black Sleep of Kali hail from Denver, Colorado. They play Stoner Doom Sludge Metal in the vein of such acts like Torche, High On Fire, Baroness, and Mastodon. I know that every "heavy" band that comes out today gets those sort of comparisons. However, Black Sleep of Kali bring a breath of fresh air to the genre. "Our Slow Decay" brings the catchy style of Torche with the riffs of High On Fire. Some songs even remind me of the Foo Fighters on steroids (torche has received the same comparison, i know) That's probably the best way to describe it without getting too generic. Basically, if you like any of the bands mentioned above, you'll most likely enjoy this record. Also, if you're tired of this genre, this will be your one exception. It's definitely worth a listen and trust me fruit loop, you won't be disappointed. Then when you're done, stop by their myspace and purchase their record (using the above links). Enjoy!
