Priestbird - In Your Time

"While this trio’s last LP, Book Of Sand, was a stirring, orchestral affair released under the name of Tarantula AD, Danny Bensi, Saunder Jurriaans and Gregory Rogove’s re-emergence as Priestbird finds the three-piece rocking harder than their past form could ever suggest." - Drowned in Sound

Hazmat Modine - Bahumat

"Even though Hazmat Modine came together as band in New York City, when listening to their music, one would think they were world travelers from various corners of the earth. Built upon a foundation of traditional blues, Bahumat is an extensive journey that’s catchy enough to sway even the most adolescent minds to old school roots music. Quirky and inventive, file this one under world-inspired rhythms of yesteryear -- as if such a genre actually exists."- decoy music

Ektroverde - Ukkossalama

Laiho, along with Circle mainstay Jussi Lehtisalo, also appears on Ukkossalama (Ektro), the fifth and best full-length by the freeform Ektroverde. Though this jazzy side project’s previous studio ventures intermittently suffered from inconsistency or automated stiffness, the ensemble’s latest offering has finally duplicated the potency, spontaneity and funky looseness of its live shows. Nine performers stretch out and spiral heavenward, luxuriating in interlocking sax solos, acid-drenched guitar dribble and detached, impromptu talk-singing. Intergalactic echo and delay washes over everything in sight. Clocking in at over 26 minutes each, the two closing improvisations spectacularly exhibit how Ektroverde’s intuitive jamming never strays into haphazard dullness." - Jordan N. Mamone, Dusted Magazine (from a great feature called Finland Calling)

Paine - Dioxidetunnel with a Red-Light and Endless Feeling

"Paine (translation: Pressure) combines the strengths of guitarist/keyboardist/voice manipulator Jyrki Laiho (ex-Circle), drummer/keyboardist/bassist Juha Ahtiainen (Ovalki; ex-Circle), drummer/bassist Janne Peltomäki (ex-Circle) and drummer/bassist Veli Nuorsaari (Kuusumun Profeetta). Despite a reliance on taut, oppressive structures that recall their mother band, these veterans have rapidly established their own identity by carving up hollow-eyed, sci-fi metal with unmatched efficiency and exhilarating force. The quartet’s sleek, muscular four-song debut, Dioxidetunnel with a Red-Light and Endless Feeling (Kaaari), boasts the brawniest organic-meets-industrial rush since the glory days of Chrome or Hawkwind. Mysterious, spoken samples hover over controlled, robotic riffing, like some NASA broadcast gone horribly wrong. An obvious choice for EP of the year." - Jordan N.

Morkobot - Mostro

"Mostro, the second work of Morkobot, is a sensorial experience in which different musical genres become so extreme you cannot find a definition able to describe the music.
From John Zorn to Black Sabbath, from Pink Floyd to Primus, from Godflesh to Hawkwind... past and present seem to messed up in the magic pot of sound called Morkobot."

Jesu - Sun Down/Sun Rise EP

Sun Down' / 'Sun Rise' is the fifth release by Jesu. It was released on 12" colored vinyl in two formats through Aurora Borealis on April 23, 2007. The album had already been released as a bonus CD appended to the Japanese version of Conqueror issued via Daymare.
According to Broadrick's blog, the EP was originally intended for an end of 2006 release[3], prior to the release of Conqueror (which was projected for early 2007 in the same entry) and may therefore be considered to fall in between Silver and Conqueror from a continuity standpoint.

Lorus - Deluge

"What would happen if Tool, Melvins and Mogwai all had a gangbang in the back of a tour bus? Their bastard offspring would be called Lorus. Raised by King Crimson with a little strict discipline from Mr. Bungle, Lorus is an avant metal band formed by guitarist Dylan Burr and keyboardist Alan Lawrence. Lorus' music blends divergent genres and synthesizes them with a heavier end, finding new and groundbreaking avenues for heavy music."

The CJ Boyd Sexxxtet - Fleur du Mal

"The CJ Boyd Sexxxtet are an experimental art collective, performing ambient chamber music on bass and many cellos. They also have an affinity for playing in the nude, and feel that music is inextricably linked to sexuality, something that is conveyed by their driving, thrusting compositions with or without the accompanying nude press photos." - silent ballet
