Song of the Day-SardoniS-"Battering-Ram"
"Battering-Ram" is the second single taken off of the upcoming album "III" out September 11th, 2015 on Belgian record label Consouling Sounds. The song is a skull-crushing fuzzfest that rattles and rumbles with penetrating doom and furious intensity. Love the ultra-violent cartoon video which coincides with the song.

Mini-Review: SardoniS - SardoniS
As seen on The Klepto's Guide:
Damn good instrumental metal. SardoniS was sent to me by Reg at Heavy Planet to listen and review. I had actually already owned the album, but I appreciated the thought. That was back in September or October, and I just now listened to their debut album. I was in no rush because of it's instrumental nature and I've never been a huge fan of the genre. Like sludge metal, I think that I am not the ideal person to review instrumental music, just because I am tainted against it from the get-go. But I had just woken up and I wanted something simple to enter the day with so I turned on SardoniS. What followed was anything but simple, SardoniS is one of the most complex and richly sounding instrumental bands I've ever heard. The album transcends genres, all of which sounded at least half-way decent. This is something very difficult to do without the aid of vocals of any kind, and they somehow kept it all fresh throughout the album, something else that is difficult (for me) with instrumental bands. While not all the tracks were winners - it had it's share of ups and downs - it was an easy album to get through, and I didn't find myself wandering away in thought as I do with most bands. I was continuously surprised and entranced with the differences of sound, track to track. This is something to listen to, if you're a fan of instrumental stoner metal or not.

New Band To Burn One To-Sardonis
I was recently submitted a CD by a band called Sardonis and was asked if I could review the CD on my blog. I do not typically write reviews, I leave that to the pros, because frankly my writing sucks. Anyways, I figured I'd give it a shot. Here goes:
Who is Sardonis you ask? Sardonis is a crushingly heavy 2-piece (yes, you read that right) doom metal band from Belgium. They have just recently released their first EP and are currently working on their full-length CD to be released on Electric-Earth Records. Current band members include R on guitar and J on drums.
Upon listening to the first few notes the influences are apparent. Throw in a little Sabbath, Eyehategod, St. Vitus and some Venom-like thrash for a truly remarkable concoction. It is truly hard to believe that this band is only a 2-piece. The songs are well-structured and keep the listener interested with tempo changes thrown in at the most precise moments. The guitar grooves are intense and very, very heavy. I failed to mention that Sardonis is also lacking a vocalist, which is alright because the music speaks for itself. I must say that I am truly stoked about hearing a full-length album from these guys in the fall of 2009, it is unfortunate that it couldn't be sooner.
The band has released 50 white (as of this writing white have sold-out) and 500 black vinyl of their EP for purchase.
A-Side: "Nero D'avola", "Skullcrusher AD"
B-Side: "MOR", "Sick Horses"
