With AVATARIUM, Doom legend Leif Edling (Candlemass, Krux) has built up a fantastic new band where tough lava riffs meet seventies Hammond sounds. But above all, the incredible Jennie-Ann Smith is enthroned, whose gripping blues voice (Janis Joplin sends her regards!) gives you goose bumps. (Review: eclipsed 10/2015)
Mick Moss is a child of sadness here again. "The Judas Table", the sixth album of his Antimatter project, is again overflowing with self-doubt and well-founded world-weariness. His art this time is mainly to transfer the moods of these darkly colorful song still lifes directly to the listener. Which in this context makes the work its most intensive to date.
