    Ask KIUAS

    Maybe you already know this, but in the U.S., Kiuas albums (and those of other Spinefarm artists) can easily be ordered from The End Records - eventually. There's always a delay of some length between the Finnish and worldwide release dates. If, like me, you don't want to wait and don't mind...

    If you STILL can't get enough of Ilja Jalkanen . . .

    . . . and for that matter, Markku Näreneva, check out the Iconofear 2003 (recorded in 2002) demo, Dark, if you haven't already done so. The whole thing (along with some of their later, post-Ilja & Markku recordings) is downloadable here : http://www.mikseri.net/artists/?id=41612 I'm...

    If you can't get enough Ilja Jalkanen...

    ...(and who can?), check out his bluesy side project: The Original Slowhand and The Evil Minions Radically different from Kiuas, of course, but worth hearing.

    Hatecraft

    Just finished listening to that new Hatecraft demo and I agree with Opacity--it's quite excellent. As soon as I read in Monroe's post that Lex and Max from the glorious, brilliant Mechanical Poet were involved, I HAD to check it out. I hope I'll be able to order it--haven't had much luck with...

    This Haven - "My Year Zero" - Brilliant Metal

    This Haven are a very special Swedish quartet whose music takes the best qualities of melodic metal, along with some prog, stoner, and hardcore, and distills them into a highly original style all their own. Creativity, ambition, and an exceptional understanding of sound dynamics inform their...
