AHNA

Seriously fucking feral sounding crusty grind meets brain-throttling sludgecore. I had honestly never heard of this band before I picked the CD up on a whim a couple months ago, but fuck me this stuff is HEAVY.

Intonate

Ok, real quick blurb 'cos it's 3am and I'm really just waiting for this stupid lightning storm to be over so I can hop a shower and go the fuck to sleep, but in a lot of ways I feel like what Anata was to melodeath Intonate are to dissonant Immolation/ Incantation worshipping caveman DM, and that's saying a lot because I really, really, fucking loved Anata.

With Intonate you get the same swirling vortex of inter-dimensional terror that a lot of these dissonant bands fuck with, but laced with killer doomy riffs and enough soaring, spiraling, melody to make the whole thing really memorable (hell, even "catchy" if you're the sort of person who hums whacked out DM riffs to yourself while you do the dishes).

Powerful stuff.

Simply Saucer

If Hawkwind was a particularly feral Stooges worshipping proto-punk band from 1970's Canada they probably would have sounded a lot like Simply Saucer.

Majorly recommended if you dig Chrome, Devo, Helios Creed, the MC5, and the real early Pere Ubu stuff as well as the aforementioned Stooges and Hawkwind.
