Sons Of Tonatiuh are a band from Atlanta, Georgia that plays sludge/doom metal with a crusty punk edge and this is a review of their self titled album which was releases by Hydrophonic Records.
Drums are mostly slow beats with some midpaced parts and fast playing, while the bass playing has a very heavy tone with riffs that follow the guitars and at times has a sound of its own.
Rhythm guitars are mostly slow doom/sludge metal riffs with the midpaced riffing having a crusty/punk edge while the lead guitars are stoner/doom sounding guitar solos when they are used.
Vocals are all high piched sludge/doom/crust screams, while the lyrics cover some dark sounding themes, as for the production it has a very heavy sound that gives all of the musical instruments a very good sound.
In my opinion Sons Of Tonatiuf are avery good sludge/doom metal band that should appeal to all fans of this genre. RECEMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "To The Throne" "Adam And Evil" and "Oracle". RECEMMONDED BUY.
This is a zine dedicated to gothic and doom metal for more info contact hatredmeanswar@yahoo.com

Prophecy Of Doom Interview
1. Can you update us with what has been going on with the band since the break up?
1) Our drummer Mark runs a rehearsal studio in Cheltenham which is doing well; Jim is in a band called Warprayer; Shrew and Shrub spend some drunken time in Alehammer.
2.What was it that caused the split and do you have any plans on reforming in the future?
2) The main reason we stopped the band at the time was that it was becoming increasingly hard to find gigs and the slow metallic grindy sound that we loved to play wasn't seen as fresh. This didn't really bother us as we just enjoyed making a racket but in 1996 I (Shrew) had a serious motorbike crash which took a long time to get over so everything was put on the backburner. There are no plans to reform and play live but if i'm honest I would like to do another 7" sometime as I do miss doing vocals and writing lyrics.
3. Your early since was more grindcore and then your later stuff was more doomy, what made you decide to go into a slower more heavier direction?
3) I think the later material changed into a slower and heavier direction mainly because Shrub had more free rein to write songs so it was not really a conscious decision to change, just a different person's writing style. I like both styles.
4.What where some of the bands that you enjoyed playing with the most?
4) I've really no idea and I can never answer this question.
What where some of the best shows that the band has played?
5) Some of my favourite gigs of the past were playing at The Dome in London with the Cromags which was also filmed for the video magazine Hard & Heavy. That was a lot of fun. Also playing the Planet X in Liverpool (part of UK tour) with Deviated Instinct stands out.
6. What is the meaning behind the band's name?
6. The meaning for the Band's name was and still is, the direction humanity is heading towards. We must collectively stop and turn back or it will no longer be a prophecy it will be our DOOM!!
7. How would you describe the lyrical content of the music?
7) This is connected to the above question really, the lyrical content tries to wake conditioned sleeping robots from their egotistical slumber.
8.Out off all the releases that the band put out, which one where you the most satisfied with?
8) Overall musically and lyrically we were quite satisfied with our last studio recording of 1996 which was released on Agipunk Records (Italy) called Tri-Battle Thought Form Engagement. Some of the riffs are devastating.
9. Out off all the record labels, that the band worked with which one did you feel did the most to support the music?
9) Again I've really got no idea.
10. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and waht are you listening to nowadays?
10) I'm still listening to the stuff i've always listened to, I do like Tyrant from Sweden a lot, Extinction of Mankind and Bulletridden to name a few.
What are some of your interests outside of music?
11) We are just old gits who like to have a drink. Drinking, motorbikes, green spaces and friends.
12. Any final words or thoughts?
12.) Thanks to anyone who's still interested in POD, we really did try to be sincere in what we did and still carry those feelings with us today. Cheers for the questions.

Heinali And Matt Finney Interview
1. Can you tell us a little bit about the prject for those that are not familiar with your music?
1. this is a project that started in early 2009. we've put our 4 albums and we're currently working on 2 new songs plus our 5th album for Handmade Birds Records. our music is a mix of ambient/classical/doomgaze/drone/spoken word. Heinali is from the Ukraine and Matt is from America. we've never met in person.
2. How would you describe the musical sound of the new release and how it differs from previous recordings?
2. it's definitely our most fully-realized work. we've been striving for a darker and darker sound with each album and Ain't No Night is like black on black. that was the idea. a seedy portrait of people and places and the awful things we do to each other. there's elements of noise and drone metal and blues. we're in love with it and we hope you will be too.
3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the new release explores?
3. it's all over the place. addiction, lack of money, lack of faith, loss, rape, nostalgia, the death of America, the deaths of friends, the death of Matt's father. some of them are pulled from stress dreams. some of them are stories pulled from people close to me. most of them are things that happened specifically to me (Matt) though. the big picture would be coming as close as you can to giving up completely but still stepping back a little. it's been really tough lately and i wanted to paint that picture as brutally honest as i could.
4. One of the members lives in the US and the other in Ukraine how did you get in contact with each other and which route do you use to record music?
4. we met through a mutual friend. he used to post music from Heinali's solo stuff and Matt's old band. he recommended us to each other and we hit it off instantly. we haven't looked back. since we can't record in person for right now we do it by sending stuff to each other. we work through email and chatting online.
5. Currently you are singed to Paradgisms Records, how did you get in contact with this label and how would you describe the support that they have given you so far?
5. they contacted us through our myspace. they said they really enjoyed our music and they would love to re-release our album Conjoined. we said sure and since we were already working on a new album they said they'd like to release that as well. they've been great to us. really supportive and helpful. we feel great about working with them.
6. On a worldwide level how has your music been received by ambient/shoegaze/drone/ doom fans?
6. it's been amazing. more than we can ask for. it's always awesome to hear that people enjoy what you do and that your work connects with them. we're grateful for the response and word of mouth that our listeners have been generating. thanks guys!
7. How would you describe your musical progress over the years and what direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
7. our music started out with a lot of electronic/post-rock/classical influence. that's still all there and it will remain but we've progressively gotten heavier and darker. that was the idea. we wanted to make music that would punch you in the stomach. it will probably only get darker but there will be some twists and turns in there as well. we're constantly listening to different things and pulling influences from them so it's always changing and the ideas keep morphing. it makes it exciting for us.
8. Are there any other projects besides this band or is this a full ime line-up?
8. Heinali still does some of his solo stuff but this is the main project for both us.
9. What are some band or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
9. both of us have tastes all over the map, as cliche as that sounds. but we do share a lot of similarities. Nirvana, The Angelic Process, The Cure, Explosions in the Sky and Joy Division are the foundation. Heinali loves classical composers and you can hear it in the way that he writes music. it's incredible. we've mentioned them in past interviews but it could go on for a while. right now, i've been listening to Omega Cen by Alrakis, Tunnel Blanket by This Will Destroy You, and Blackberry Belle by The Twilight Singers.
10. Your music is very poetic, what are some poets that have had the most impact on your music?
10. thank you so much! i don't read anywhere near as much as i used to but i've never read a whole lot of poetry to begin with. i started doing that because i could never force myself to write anything long. short bursts of anger and catharsis seemed to work best for me so i stuck with it. Raymond Carver is a huge influence on the way i write. i started writing lyrics when i was younger by listening to Nirvana and being obsessed with Cobain's words so those are the big two.
11. Outside of music, what are some of your interests?
11. there's nothing outside of music. we like to read, watch movies/tv, but music is what keeps us together. it's our hearts completely and we'd be lost without it. again, that's really cliche but sometimes only a cliche can say what you mean. music is what keeps us going.
12. Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?
12. thank you again for wanting to speak with us and we hope that if you're reading this you enjoy our music. thanks!

The Ressurection Sorrow are a band from New York that plays stoner/doom/sludge metal and this is a review of their self released 2011 EP "The Scorpion Saviors Sessions.
Drums range from slow to midpaced drumming with not much in the way of fast playing or blast beats, while the bass playing sounds very strong, powerful and heavy with some doomy stoner riffing.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to midpaced riffs that combine stoner/sludge/doom metal and rock together while the lead guitars have a 70s rock feel to them.
Vocals range from clean singing, whispers and some sludge screams mixed with doom/death metal growls, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it sounds very powerful and heavy sounding with all of the musical instruments being easy to hear.
In my opinion The Ressurection Sorrow are a very good sludge/stoner/doom metal and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECEMMONDED TRACK "Scorpion Savior". RECEMMONDED BUY.

Soilent Green are a band from Lousiana that play a mixture of crust/grind/death metal and sludge and this is a review of their 1998 ep "A String Of Lies" which was released by Relapse Records during 1998.

Guitars mix some slow and heavy sludge riffing with some fast grindcore/crust riffs with no guitar soilos or leads on this e.p

In my opinion Soilent Green are a very good grindcore/crust band and this is a very good e.p. If you are a fan of sludgy crust/grind with a professional sound you probably already own this e.p. RECOMMENDED BUY.

DesolateVoid Interview
1.Can you tell us alittle bit about the band for those that have never heard of us before?
Desolatevoid was formed in 2003 out of anger, binging and boredom in Eau Claire, WI. Patrick Sova supplied the riffs, Tim Smith dropped the tasty beats, and Andy Howard brought forth the grunts, groans & squeels. After a couple of lineup changes, Brent K came in on guitar and Nick Carroll came in on low end. We released Self Medicated Psycho Therapy in 2006. After great reviews, press and live shows devastation hit. Guitarist Patrick Sova was critically injured in an auto accident, leaving him a quadropelegic (Spelling?). After getting the green light to carry on from Patrick and with new guitarist Mark Stolp in tow we've released two more albums and another is in the works.
2.How would you describe your musical sound?
It's the soundtrack to the worst bender you've ever been on.
3. What is the meaning behind the band's name?
Desolatevoid is that place you can go to in your head to escape reality and be isolated and alone and quite possibly have piece of mind by releasing raw, crude, pure hatred. Chemically induced or not.
4.What releases have you put out so far?
Self Medicated Pyscho Thearapy (CD), No Sign of Better Times (CD) and the newly released 3 way split (Desolatevoid / Last Van Zant / The Parish Split CD)
5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?
As far as shows with bigger name metal bands Deicide on Halloween 2007 (Patrciks last show), Goatwhore in March 2010 both in Eau Claire which was awesome. But any show with a good crowd response and maybe some merch sales Is awesome to us.
6.Do you have any current touring plans?
You probably won't hear about us touring for a long time... if ever due to a couple members self employment issues. Others are in school and so on. We will do 3-4 days long runs if they present themselves. Mostly we're gonna do as many regional shows as we can.
7.Are any of the members involved with any side projects, if so who are they and what kind of music do they play?
As of right now everybody's focused on Desolatevoid but past and future projects are usually in the rock / metal genres.
8. What is going on with the Crimes Against Humanity record label these days and what are some releases that you have plans to put out in the upcoming future?
CAH Records has really slowed down in the past few years due to the economy and downloading off the internet so I don't run it like I used to but will still occassionally release new music. I just released a Dresden 7” and will be doing the new Beyond Description (Japan) album soon. I don't plan out too far for the label anymore since I'm trying to focus on my screen printing business as more of a priority lately.
9.How would you describe the musical progress so far and what direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
With each release we try to make a better album than the one before. Better riffs and song structure... things like that. We still have that one great album that kicks everyones ass. As far as direction we're gonna keep churning out abrasive tunes for people to overdose to.
10. What are some bands or music styles that have influenced your music and what are you listening to nowadays?
A little bit of everything influences Desolatevoid. Elvis, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams 1, 2 + 3, classic rock. Mostly old school metal / punk. Pantera's a big one, the nola metal scene, Sabbath, Early Roadrunner + Earache death metal, Old school thrash, Grindcore. Like I said old school metal + rebels
11.How has the feedback been to you music so far by Extreme music fans worldwide?
The feedbacks been great. Every once in a while we get bad or OK reviews. Not everyone is going to like what we do. Being told we make good music by people who judge music for a living is one of the best parts really.
12.Out of all the releases that you have put out so far which one are you the most satisfied with?
In hindsight there's always something you wanna tweak or you play it a little different now. Overall we love and stand behind them all.
13.What are some of your interests outside of music?
Honestly besides home, lives + work we're all basically consumed by Desolatevoid.
14.Any final words or thoughts?
If you're one of the people who have stolen our albums online instead of buying the album at least buy some merch to help us out, otherwise you can fuck off. Support the underground, unless you want it to die. Check out Desolatevoid at www.myspace.com/desolatevoidrocks or http://www.facebook.com/pages/Desolatevoid/54679567247 You can buy DV merch from http://www.cahrecords.com/ and Itunes digitally.

The Body/All Of The Waters On Earth Turn To Blood/At A Loss Recordings/2010 CD Review
The Body are a band from Rhode Island that play a style that I would describe as being experimental drome sludge/doom metal and this is a review of their 2010 album "All Of The Waters Of Earth Turn To Blood" which was released by At A Loss Recordings.
Drums are all slow, heavy and crushing with no fast playing or blast beats being utilized, while the keyboards have a very dark and evil sound with a dark ambient feel, as for the bass playing it has a very heavy and distorted sound.
Guitars are all heavy and slow doom/s;udge metal riffs mixed in with alot of distortion and reverd and it is all rythm guitar with no guitar leads or solos present on this album, while the vocals are all high pitched screams with some weird clean singing male and female vocals being used at times.
Lyrics cover alot of hateful and depressing themes, while the production sounds very heavy and all of the instruments sound very brutal.
In my opinion The Body are a very good drone/doom/sludge metal baqnd that should appeal to all fans of the subgenre and they are very heavy and original sounding. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Curse" "Song Of Sarin The Brave" and "Lathspell I Name You". RECOMMENDED BUY.

Guitars are all heavy and slow doom/s;udge metal riffs mixed in with alot of distortion and reverd and it is all rythm guitar with no guitar leads or solos present on this album, while the vocals are all high pitched screams with some weird clean singing male and female vocals being used at times.
Lyrics cover alot of hateful and depressing themes, while the production sounds very heavy and all of the instruments sound very brutal.
