Gozu - Revival (2016)
Marc Gaffney of Gozu comments on the album:
“We called our new album ‘Revival’ because that’s what the group is. It’s what the four of us were going through during the writing, recording, mixing and mastering process and it’s the first album featuring Mike (Hubbard, Drums) and Joe (Grotto, Bass). To be frank, we wanted it to fucking destroy any thoughts of what we were as a band previously. For me, it is the best material I’ve written and I know that the band collectively feels as thought it’s the best work Gozu has done. We didn’t want it to sound like anyone else and hopefully people will dig it enough to let it channel them to a different setting or time. Essentially that’s what we always set out to do. Move you. If you choose to let us in.”gozu.bandcamp.com

Filτhy Huиs – Lεopαrd On My Righτ (2014)
Leopard on My Right by Filthy Huns on Spotify
Echo Park (by way of Minneapolis) motorcycle mechanic Nick Koenigs aka Filthy Huns follows his 2012 self-titled debut with a freshly iced 8-pack of stark tar-streaked roadburn meditations, Leopard On My Right. Echo-blurred metronomes rev from dive bar dub to aging engine chugs, laced with keyboard exhaust, stick-and-poke guitar designs, hungover highway vocals, and dust-choked American desolation. As before, Koenigs keeps the dead-eyed leather menace quotient high while bleaching the songs’ rock bone structures into pale, emaciated shapes (“Ancient Hell,” “Nomad Status”), occasionally dissolving into drained badlands atmospherics (“Into Oblivion,” “Stein Stugga”). Sleeveless, stained with axle grease, after midnight, a Viking in the basement with a 4-track, wind whipping through his mind. Have been loving these skeletal rider themes rendered live in various unkempt Los Angeles interiors across the last year, stoked to present them publicly for physical consumption. Mastered by Cole Gorman Weiland. Artwork and layout by Eric Carlson and Chris Hontos. ….
