Released without warning or hype in January of 2006, Intronaut's debut EP, Null, helped get the year started on the right foot, and instantly nominated the brand new group for the exalted office of Extreme Progressive Metal Ministers, only recently vacated by Atlanta's increasingly mainstream-embracing Mastodon. With their full-length follow-up of barely six months later, the logically named Void, Intronaut arguably consolidated their candidacy with seven new tracks of equal, if not greater compositional merit than what had come before -- although their debt to Mastodon's early works, as well as predecessors like Today Is the Day and Lethargy, remained not only obvious but, some may argue, overpowering. In any event, notable Void offerings like "Gleamer," "Nostalgic Echo," and "Rise to Midden" proved almost as demanding, yet rewarding, to digest, as they no doubt were for Intronaut to conceive and perform: positively head-spinning in their technicality and improbably heavy, to boot. But, as was the case with that promising EP, these challenging songs frequently reveal moments of astonishing calm and even beauty amid their semi-intelligible, grunted vocals and Byzantine arrangements; including the swathes of atmospheric "intro(naut)spection" found within the continent-shifting riff tectonics of "Fault Lines" and "Iceblocks," and the jazzy breakdowns interspersed among the metallic hyperactivity of "Teledildonics" and "A Monolithic Vulgarity." All of which contribute to Intronaut's, thus far, very strong and consistent musical platform for office, leaving only the verdict of those voters or listeners who might turn up at the polls, and there's no reason why shouldn't show up en mass. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Purchase Void CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Isis Panopticon CD (2004)
Void
 $13.05  
If the glacial dynamics of previous metal and hardcore abstractions Celestial and Oceanic didn't prove that Isis was a heavy band in every sense, then Panopticon should do the trick. The title comes from 18th century philosopher Jeremy Bentham's prison design, which was later referenced by Michael Foucault in the 20th century. The idea is that a centrally placed guard or watcher can keep track of a large number of prisoners, and it excited Bentham and concerned Foucault. Heavy stuff for a metal band, huh? Both are quoted in the liner notes, bookended by aerial industrial photos laying out society's open sprawl. It fits perfectly with the epic music on the disc itself, which ...
| | Clutch Pitchfork & Lost Needles CD (2005)
Void
$10.69 
Includes the complete PITCHFORK 7" EP (1991) and rare bonus tracks.
Pitchfork & Lost Needles includes Clutch's debut 7" in its four-song entirety and augments that with unreleased tracks and demo versions. As this set proves, the veteran quartet began as a band crouched between the Melvins, a viscous form of hardcore (think a slower, more economic Sick of It All), and the literate but still loud post-punk of Jawbox. "Wicker" is in blistering half-time, its layers of needling guitars and Neil Fallon's yawping proclamations ("Pacemaker! LIFE TAKER!") skinned to their barest, most powerful essence. "Arcadia" is three minutes of stocky thud, the sort of thing flannel-shirted bullies would blast from crappy boom boxes in the early '90s. The unreleased tracks are equally strong, from the low-slung grind of the perfectly named "Nero's Fiddle" to the relatively upbeat "Passive Restraints," a song tailor-made for pissing off parents or turfing lawns. "What Would a Wookie Do?" and "Bottoms Up, Socrates" date from ...
| | Mouth Of The Architect Ties That Blind CD (2006)
Void
$11.55
Funny how progressive metal pioneers Neurosis existed in a virtual creative vacuum for almost a decade before the similarly inventive Isis tapped into their musical teachings, expanded upon them, and, in turn, magically opened the floodgates for hundreds of other bands to materialize from the ether and begin weaving monumental trance epics of their own design. Naturally, as has always been the case with new trends in popular (and even not-so-popular) music, the hordes of faceless bandwagon-jumpers greatly outweighed the promising successors, which included Arkansas dirt-encrusted sound technicians Rwake, Chicago instrumental alchemists Pelican, and, for our purposes here, Ohio's magicians of sublime melancholy, Mouth of the Architect. For you see, although they construct imposing ...

On its sixth album, Brazil's most famous head-banging outfit takes a page from the nu-metal book but, more importantly, combines its brutal thrash-metal sound with indigenous music from its homeland, occasionally utilizing the percussion and chants of the country's Xavantes tribe to powerful effect. The biggest standouts are the lively, acoustic-guitar-driven "Itsari" and the epic closer "Canyon Jam," both improvisations with Xavantes musicians that make for welcome contrasts to the record's intense bombast. Elsewhere, Brazilian percussionist Carlinhos Brown drives the rhythm-laden "Ratamahatta," a track that exemplifies the quartet's distinctive brand of "tribal metal."

Void
$8.49
In the mid-'90s, the world of Latin pop was in dire need of an old-fashioned romantic singer, somebody who would be able to reproduce the charisma of legendary crooners such as Jose Jose, Roberto Carlos, or Palito Ortega--a new artist who would bring back to the genre an injection of old-fashioned ...
| | Desert Sessions, Vols. 7 & 8 CD (2001)
Void
$12.35
Josh Homme's Queens of the Stone Age have risen above the generally sound-alike stoner rock genre by virtue of their clever, intricate songwriting and virtuoso musicianship. Hanging out and recording at Rancho de la Luna Studio in Joshua Tree, CA, Homme and various musical pals have also released a series of Desert Sessions, which rely on neither the kitschy '70s references nor the recycled Sabbath riffs that their stoner rock brethren venerate. Instead, Homme and pals concoct a varied group of rich, elaborate compositions which conjure up an exotic world of gem-loaded desert caravans and opium-smoke-filled harems. Among Desert Sessions, Vol. 7-8's many fine moments is an appearance from Mark Lanegan singing on "Hanging Tree," a top-notch rock tune benefiting from Lanegan's grunge-era voice and some hypnotizing background effects. Another great smoke-out tune is "The Idiot's Guide," where Homme's whispered falsetto is particularly effective. This song wanders around like an acid casualty lost in the desert after a rave. But it's the caravan-like marching tunes that really stick out, "Don't Drink Poison" and "Up in Hell," ...
