How m...July 10, 2006

Cast Shadows on Dragons
Featuring former members of WHEN DREAMS DIE, "Cast Shadows on Dragons" by ROBOTS AND EMPIRE is a strange mixture of stoner rock heft and spacey doom that has its moments, but too often loses momentum because of its unevenness. Clearly rooted in BLACK SABBATH and bands such as THE MELVINS, as well as...June 18, 2006

You heard it when "Volcano" was released in 2002 and you'll undoubtedly hear it with the release of "Now, Diabolical". The new al...June 5, 2006

Pick a band, any band, and if they incorporate any sort of tribal drone, ethereal wall-of-noise roar, mystical third-eye ravings or percussive punk-driven art house nihilism in their music, you can likely thank KILLING JOKE for the influence.
