From Vancouver, Canada, Haggatha's first LP offers a truly heavy landscape of slow, downtuned riffs. After being blown away by their live performance and previously released seven inch, I had to hear this full length. Truly a band that deserves some attention. Order the LP if you like this!

Cygnus - Heresy of the Stargazer

2011, Dark Descent Records

Cygnus was formed by members of various Edmonton metal/hardcore bands to unite their visions of slow heavy music and the usage of copious amounts of marijuana. This demo is the result of that collaboration. Featuring 6 tracks, Cygnus weaves together their influences from Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, Eyehategod, and Grief to make their spaced out brand of sludge Available on Dark Descent Records on green cassette tape, limited to 250 copies. For those without tape decks, I present a rip.

Begrime Exemioius - Impending Funeral of Man (2010)

2010, Dark Descent Records

"Begrime Exemious combines the best aspects of Demilich, Grand Belial's Key and even a little Argholsent to form their bulking brand of metal. The reason I think those bands are particularly apt as comparisons is because not only do they fit in terms of style and genre, but like those bands, Begrime Exemious is a unique, riff-first type of band. I am not sure about you, but when I think metal, my first thought is always the riffs - a surprisingly significant flaw of a lot of bands these days. But Begrime Exemious has riffs in abundance and a style that carefully balances subtle melody with hefty brutality and really sets them apart from a lot of other metal practitioners. " - DiabolicalConquest.com

"Begrime Exemious combine thrashy d-beat drumming with death metal rhythm guitar and tons of heavy metal/hard rock solos -- sounds crazy, but it works! The non-stop avalanche of riffs give this record plenty of impact, and the varied lead work helps to make each song memorable. There are even some doomy breaks here and there; the slow parts lend this album an extra dose of evil atmosphere, a la mid-period Morbid Angel. The vocals are great as well: they're quite catchy, and delivered with tons of range, yet they absolutely drip with sickness!" - vorfeed.net
