[upcoming bands] Black Shape of Nexus

Black Shape of Nexus are a band from Germany. They added me on myspace saying that it was cool to find people who also enjoy SPK's music: they sure have a fine musical taste too.
They started around 2005. Their genre is doom metal, I'd say.
Here it is their myspace (or click on the image). Their official website can be accessed here. Soon there will be an interview with them.

Below is a video of the band on one of their gigs:

A Storm of Light "And We Wept the Black Ocean Within"

A recent band (they started around 2007), they are sometimes labeled as post-metal and other times as doom metal. From Brooklyn, not all this trendy hype bands are born: this band is a fine argument.
This record has a more doomy approach, according to my ears. Their music features slow and dense rhythms, with guitars raging the air with their high distorted notes. Blend despair with music and you get A Storm of Light.
The tracklist is:

1. Adrift (the albatross I)
2. Vast and Endless
3. Black Ocean
4. Thunderhead
5. Undertow (the albatross II)
6. Mass
7. Leaden Tide
8. Breach (the albatross III)
9. Descent
10. Iron Heart

My favourite tracks are: "Black Ocean", "Mass" and "Iron Heart". The whole album is great though: and it's the band's debut record, don't forget this. Since then, they've released 2 more albums.
Their myspace can be accessed here.
The album is available here.

Below is the third track, "Black Ocean":

Boris "Amplifier Worship"

Sound waves that will blow your mind... this is what Boris specialize in this album. Great masterpiece concerning the sludge and doom metal music, this record was released in 2003 on Southern Lord.
The tracklist is:

1. "Huge" – 9:14
2. "Ganbou-Ki" – 15:44
3. "Hama" – 7:30
4. "Kuruimizu" – 14:27
5. "Vomitself" – 16:57

"Huge" is a great track, which features fantastic vocals and a great characteristic doom metal approach that we can expect from Boris.
"Ganbou-Ki" is a drone doom metal track that's long and pushes you to new boundaries among despair.
"Hama" could be inserted into the sludge metal category, also a good track that includes lots of guitars.
"Kuruimizu", like "Hama" is more sludge metal. Also a nice bet that Boris have done [although I prefer a lot more their drone doom metal songs].
"Vomitself" definitely their strongest drone song, slashing people's ears with their guitar sustained tone pieces.
The album's lenght is 64 minutes. Worth hearing it, specially their doomy stuff.
Get it here.
