High on Fire - Death is this Communion [2007]

I have this friend of mine who has this "fixation". Whenever we speak about something that it is bizarre, for instance, about a man being decapitated while having sex with a horse (it's just an example ¿OK?, we actually don't speak about things like this, not that I remenber ) then he tends to say: wow! gore gore. The thing is that he doesn't say the words with the right pronunciation, but he says literally "gore gore" as we do in spanish, adding emphasize on the letter "e", on purpose.
Now, you may think what's the big deal about this? I mean, What is it to do with the band I'm about to post? The thing is that this band I'm posting right now, it is a band you may regard as "gore gore". To ilustrate, imagine the next scene between felipe(the man with the fixation) and Sixto (the one with stoner blog):

Felipe: Hey Sixto how are you man?
Sixto: I'm fine.
Felipe: What are you listening to?
Sixto: Oh! I'm listening High on Fire, Death is this communion.
Felipe: Wow! I listened that album the other day, gore gore.
Sixto: Yeah! It is in fact, gore gore.

The Sword - Gods of the Earth [2008]

Well, I was thinking in posting something fresh and brutal, and I came up with the last work of The Sword. In just two years the band have gained a considerable status, within the scene of new metal and stoner. More thrash, some chumps say this album is overloaded with. I can only say that The Sword first album was awesome. It does not matter if they are not sparking off a new sound or style, which is worst, they are playing within a genre we are used to, and its been years since something surprising came from that scene. So what makes The Sword a remarkable band is that virtue, they just play rough and brutal using the same elements a thousand bands around the world are using, except they use them better than those thousand of bands. That's a kick in the ass! I have really nothing further to say, let The Sword speak for itself. Get it now!

Tracklist:

01 - The sundering
02 - How heavy this axe
03 - Lords
04 - Fire lances of the ancient hyperzephyrians
05 - To take the black
06 - Maiden, mother & crone
07 - Under the boughs
08 - The black river
09 - The white sea

Torche - In return EP [2007]

Torche is a north american band from Miami, Florida, whose tendencies stretch from stoner to sludge and doom metal. Certainly, such blend makes Torche quite an interesting project, which worth to listen. Musically speaking, Torche uses middle-slow rough repetitive compases, sporadic ghastly guitar choral solos, without lacking thundering unforeaseable passages of pure wrath. The band's sound is often compared to that of The Melvins, in what refers to master the formula. Well, that's quite an statement, considering the Melvins' status, so judge for yourselves. Torche burns!

Tracklist:

01 - Warship
02 - In return
03 - Bring me home
04 - Rule the beast
05 - Olympus mons
06 - Tarpit carnivore
07 - Hellion

Orange Goblin - The Big Black [2000]

Nowadays Orange goblin is considered a, heavy metal band with an agressive punk influenced sound? Yes, that's sounds like what the hell?, but I really don't care about it, because their first three albums were stoner metal. As a matter of fact, this particular album is their last stoner one, before they changed to something different. TO be honest, I haven't even heard what they sound like these days, it just gives me the creeps, because they were doing good stuff and gaining some status...well, regardless the band's desicions, "The big black" remains as it is, and that's cool. Just get it!

Tracklist:

01 - Scorpionica
02 - Quincy the pigboy
03 - Hot magic, red planet
04 - Cozmo bozo
05 - 298 kg
06 - Turbo efalunt (elephant)
07 - King of the hornets
08 - You'll never get to the moon in that...
09 - Alcofuel
10 - The big black

The sword is one of those band that are making quite a noise these days. Since their debut album it seems that they just have not have time to rest, but only to make good stuff. When speaking about their influences people fingers to Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, just imagine such blend. I got nothing else to tell bu to listen their stuff, because these austin, texan pals know what they're doing.

01 - Celestial Crown
02 - Barael's Blade
03 - Freya
04 - Winters wolves
