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.



1. Magic Spell (5:06)
2. Blind Mountain (4:39)
3. Misty Valley (6:44)
4. Picking From The Box (4:19)
5. Nowhere To Go (6:21)
6. Entering Into Peace (6:05)
7. Sour Stains (5:48)
8. Another Way To Shine (4:50)
9. Past The Sound Of Whispers (5:58)
10. Broken Morning (1996 Demo) (2:26)

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).



1. Deep In The Caves (5:29)
2. Breath Of The... (6:10)
3. Discovered: The Large Iron Core (9:03)
4. Upon The Hard (7:43)
5. Moth Amigo (3:52)
6. Goat Isle Seance (12:22)

Sea of Green - Northern Lights

Sea of Green was a Toronto-based rock band combining elements of metal and psychedelia into their sound. The band was formed in 1999 by Travis Cardinal, Eric Kuthe on bass, and Chris Bender. 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.


1. Move The Mountains (5:03)
2. Look To The Sky (4:24)
3. If You Want My Soul (4:52)
4. Time & Space (3:28)
5. Change With Me (5:45)
6. In the Sun (3:24)
