Zac's "Double Dose": The Civil Dead / Juggernaught

The Civil Dead: Bird Bones 

Droners unite! This first dose will take some patience, but fans of Earth are sure to enjoy The Civil Dead's summer 2012 release Bird Bones. The brains behind the project, Christopher Langer, resides in a strange realm where drone collides with some interesting genres like folk and western music. Like most good drone jams an overwhelming feeling of isolation blankets the listener. Bird Bones is a small five track EP, but spans an enormous forty minutes. Spin my favorite track Bird Bones (Nest of Teeth) below and check the rest of this fresh drone at bandcamp.

Juggernaught: Bring the Meat Back 

This weeks second serving is a testosterone-infused South African quartet labeling their murky classic blues as MAN-ROCK. Juggernaught got started in 2008 with a relentless touring schedule, playing some of the biggest festivals South Africa has to offer. Late in 2009 the four-some released their debut Act of Goat. In 2012 Juggernaught continued with tradition, slingin' ax heavy guitars and pounding their chests with whiskey soaked fists, producing and releasing their sophomore effort Bring The Meat Back. Check out their latest video, title track, Bring The Meat Back in all its' meaty glory!

New Band To Burn One To: MERLIN

HEAVY PLANET presents...MERLIN!

BAND BIO:

Imagine a world besides yerown. A world with no Industry. A world with no Electricity. A world where magic and law were the same, and science was in the stars. Imagine yerself walking in a dark, grassy field, in the middle of a forest with trees so immense, you cannot see the sky. Fog covers the ground beneath yer feet, and glowing mushrooms tower above. Will 'o' Wisps fly around you. There's a st ram up ahead, pouring into a small pond of glowing blue water. The color is amazing. You see a nearby furry creature drinking from it. Suddenly it hears a sound and runs. You remained silent, and turn around. Suddenly a black armored giant, with two glowing green eyes is running toward you. His face covered with a skull. You don't know what to do. Then, from behind you, coming out from the stream, a naked woman, more beautiful than anything you've ever seen in yer life hands you a staff of gold. You take the staff and aim it towards the giant. You utter four words you've never heard of and fire spews from the crystal ball at the end of it. He explodes. You turn around and she's gone. You wake up.

Merlin is like that dream, only you'll never wake up.

THOUGHTS:
"This is probably some of the most fucked up shit I have ever listened to, and I mean that in a good way. I have always enjoyed music that goes out of the boundaries and makes you perk up and say what the hell. This band from Kansas City simply known as Merlin is the ultimate head trip. Their music is a mixture of eerie sound effects, doomy passages, creepy spoken word and middle earth-like instrumentation. The band has only been together for eight months but have managed to record a full-length album, an EP and a live album which are all currently available on their Bandcamp page. Check them out, but be prepared for something utterly unique."
