Electric Wizard - Dopethrone [2000]


All hail the Wizard. Dopethrone is the most recognized release from Electric Wizard and my personal favourite followed by Come My Fanatics... Great stoner/doom with sludgy riffs. Tasty jams to be found on this album. Definitely good tunes for when you wanna get stoned off your ass. Electric Wizard are from Dorset, UK and are fronted by the infamous Jus Oborn. They've been around since '93 and are releasing a new album this year which I'm fucking ecstatic for. This release is pure gold and I recommend it to those of you who live under a rock and haven't already heard it.

Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda [1994]


Organized Konfusion. Truly old school underground hip-hop. Great shit. My favourite hip-hop album, probably. Imagine if 36 Chambers-era Wu-Tang were a jazzy hip-hop group. That's Konfusion. The group is comprised of Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po. They formed in 1989 and recently reformed in 2008. This is quality hip-hop and I suggest if you dig shit like that, then get this album.

Carnivore - Retaliation [1987]


IF YOU CAN'T EAT IT OR FUCK IT, THEN KILL IT! I got into this album a little while ago and instantly fell in love with it. Funny and demented lyrics meets damn good thrash/speed metal. This band was fronted by the late Peter Steele (R.I.P.) and if you're familiar with his other works (Type O Negative) you'll know he was quite the fellow with a demented twist on everything. Anyway, great album. I suggest you check out their self-titled as well.

Insect Warfare - World Extermination [2007]


I figured I'd get this show on the road with easily my favourite grindcore album. Fucking World Extermination. What can I say about this album besides the fact that it's godly. Ripping guitars, fast as fuck brutal vocals and insane drumming. Holy fucking blast beats. Don't forget the album art. It's incredible, in my opinion. Little bit about the now defunct band: they were from Houston, Texas, only released on full-length (this album) and they hate poser grind with a passion to kill. People that are saying grind is dead, check this fucking album out. Mind blowing shit.
