Magic Circle

Here are a couple of tracks from Magic Circle, a traditional doom metal band featuring members of Mind Eraser (thats what I've read anyway). The vocalist sounds a lot like Ozzy Osbourne and indeed the music isn't too far off Black Sabbath either. Fans of Pagan Altar, Trouble, Pentagram, Candlemass and of course Black Sabbath will love this sound. There was supposed to be an LP coming last year (?) but I can't find any information about it, so if you know anything I'd love to know. These are just 2 tracks from youtube that I've converted to mp3 for your listening convenience. Seriously awesome stuff, if you don't enjoy these songs then there is something wrong with you. Oh yeah, and they are playing Chaos in Tejas this year so check them out there, I know I will be.

Züül - Out of Time (2010)

This was released last year?! Its just like the fuckin' glory days of heavy metal man - Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Manilla Road, Saxon and all of your other classic bands. Real heavy metal seems to be making a bit of a comeback these days but I'm not complaining, time to grab those old ripped jeans, Slayer tshirt and leather jacket out of the wardrobe and rock out to some awesome tunes. This one has some killer artwork too. True heavy metal lives!
