(latest shirt design, © By Robin) NEGATIVE REACTION's first album in like... a decade(?!) is just about finished - right now it's in the mastering stage at Steer Run Studios, which is Ken-E-Bones' recording studio at his compound in West Virginia (he relocated there from Long Island!!!!).  Speaking as one of the few people to have heard a track from it, I can tell you that it's going to be good ...  I had the privilege of seeing them last summer, where Ken-E-Bones, as he put it, "channeled his inner Randy Rhodes".  That's not just an opinion he and myself share, but his band and a pioneer of the sludge community who witnessed it live.  Get ready to be shocked by these solos.  At this point, I think it's safe to say that his guitar-playing is superior to Matt Pike, Wino, and even Dave Chandler.  So be sure to check it out when it drops!

Is that just a rehearsal Demo ?!  if yes whats your upcoming album gonna sound like?  listening to Illryth notes many questions come to life, but one thing is certain: Doom scene is flourishing. Such amazing bands around, such powerful vibes. Illryth is one of these occasions. A top grade long-haired gang of 4 coming from Portland Oregon. Slow tunes crawling under your skin in a very Eyehategod-esque trip. Illryth its 104% authentic and legit. but we are so glad their demo recording even as a debut can be placed worthily on a wooden shelf next to very famous bands as the aformentioned.  PS. We are so amuzed when vocals sound like otherwordly audio effects. Bravo Paul.  --...
