CDs:
Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. – In Search Of The Lost Divine Arc CD/2xLP (Important Records)
Acid Mothers Temple’s new album heads in a completely different direction from 2012’s Son Of A Bitches Brew. Harder, faster, and more riff-rock oriented, In Search Of The Lost Divine Arc is here to slay. AMT skews their vibe between Zeppelin and Beefheart, coming out with another classic ripper in the process.
Acid Mothers Temple – Absolutely Freak Out (Zap Your Mind!) [2001] 2xCD (Staticresonance)
Reissue of the 2001 album (previously vinyl-only), plus 40 minutes of exclusive bonus material.
All Pigs Must Die – Nothing Violates This Nature CD (Southern Lord)
Although the band’s members hail from Hope Conspiracy and Converge, they turn their more crust punk/d-beat-driven aggression outward with APMD.
Marc Anthony – 3.0 CD (Sony Latin)
New album from the Latin superstar, his first original tropical music recording in nearly a decade.
Armed For Apocalypse – The Road Will End CD (MRI)
The sludgy four-piece from the small Northern California college town of Chico have worked relentlessly to leave their imprint on metal.
