Spiritual Beggars - Another Way To Shine

Spiritual Beggars was formed in 1994 by Michael Amott, the band was started as a side project after Michael left Carcass. The band debuted with the self-titled Spiritual Beggars in 1994, and have since released albums as Michael's schedule permits, including 1996's Another Way to Shine. Spiritual Beggars are basically a reversion to true rock roots. Although this is no-way a retrogression of musical techniques. They offer intelligent and burnished pieces of euphony, that come across like a junkie of groove. In other words a musical drug, an addictive blend of severity and harmony.

Foul Agent 007 - The Misconception Between Light and Dark

An expression through the use of manipulation. The elevation of mental instruments with an intention to inspire and/or relate. An interest to delve in to the depths through the elements of sound. Foul Agent involves various sounds to conjure a simple, yet intriguing setting, which, depending on one's mood and/or musical interests, can create a calming environment. The Agent's latest release,The Misconception Between Light and Dark, pertains to a more atmospheric edge with an occasional Electronica feel. The album exemplifies a more creative side and less of a "straight and to the point" technique.

Universal Temple Of Divine Power - Hand Of God

Granted the name of this Detroit 4 piece sounds more suited to members of some Jim Jones styled Kool-Aid drinking suicide cult, but this band from the Motor City worships at the altar of early 70's blues based rock.

GTA San Andreas: K-Rose

K-Rose is a Classic Country station from the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, hosted by Mary-Beth Maybell (voiced by Riette Burdick), and based in Bone County (Fort Carson). Mary-Beth has been married numerous times, many of her husbands having died under suspicious circumstances. A few songs tend to stand out among the rest ("Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed, "All My Exes Live In Texas" by Whitey Shafer). This music is perfect for sitting on the porch on a calm, warm summer day with a lit cigarette in one hand and a bottle of Jack in the other.

Beast In The Field - Goat Isle Séance

Hailing from Michigan, Beast in the Field consists of just one guitarist (Jordan Pries) and one drummer (Jamie Jahr), and these two are able to make quite a lot of noise between them. Goat Isle Séance, their debut release, features massive, feedback-drenched riffs and rhythms, delivered in two styles: full-on gallop, and slow, doomy crawl. The recording sounds appropriately ragged and bludgeoning, done old-skool analog in the studio (making best use of the vintage Sunn, Orange and Sound City amps and classic Ludwig drum kit, for those of you keeping score).

Due to obvious drug references in many of their lyrics, Sea of Green are largely classified as Stoner Rock. They released their first EP, Northern Lights, on the Music Cartel label in July of 2000. In 2004, the band broke up amidst long-standing difficulties with their record label.
