Label:
Goodfellow
Location:
Los Angeles, CA
Similar To:
Mastodon, Isis, Ephel Duath
Audio:
"Fragments Of Character"
"They (As In Them) |
Intronaut:
Consisting of former members of bands such as Uphill Battle, Anubis Rising and more, the mind-expanding noise-metal that Intronaut turn out is gargantuan in size and enlightening in intelligence. Their newly released EP "Null" has easily taken on the title of the first must-listen of 2006. |
Official Website:

Label:
Kemado
Location:
Austin, TX
Similar To:
High On Fire, Corrosion Of Conformity, Mastodon
Audio:
"Iron Swan" |
|
The Sword:
The Sword easily live up to their name with their savage Conan The Barbarian-like chops. A doomy stoner outfit that pack as much modern metal muscle as they do crusty bongload-inspired chugging, the riff reigns supreme once again. |

Label:
Lifeforce
Location:
Lowell, MA
Similar To:
All That Remains, As I Lay Dying
Audio:
"Godspeed To Your Deathbed"
"Redemption... Is A Cold Body" |
Hell Within:
Originally known as Twytch, the heavily death metal influenced metalcore this Massachusets-based group lay down is readily a cut above their peers. No sappy beer-soaked bravado, just headbang worthy brutality.

Label:
Translation Loss
Location:
Philadelphia, PA
Similar To:
Isis, Cult Of Luna
Audio:
"Europa" |
|
Rosetta:
When bands as prolific as Neurosis and Isis emerge, there's no doubt many will try to follow in their wake. Rosetta are one of the lone few braving such a path who have actually managed to strike a chord of their own thanks to their fearless ambition and the limitless talent they have to back it up; fortunately enough, they also put both of these qualities to good use on their current double album release. |

Official Website:
www.russiancircles.net
Label:
Flameshovel
Location:
Chicago, IL
Similar To:
Canvas Solaris, Isis, Pelican
Audio:
"Death Rides A Horse" |
Russian Circles:
Russian Circles are a three piece instrumental band who share a practice space with Pelican and make music that is just as likely to chill to the bone as it is sear right through an ear drum. Throw in a touch of doom metal aspirations and pair them against progressive musicianship and you have one delightfully austere recipe for sonic construction (and subsequent deconstruction.) |
