Church of the Cosmic Skull - Black Slug

CHURCH OF THE COSMIC SKULL is a twofold entity: a new religious movement who seek to free mankind from their material possessions and unify all living beings into a singular cosmic whole; and a 7-piece supergroup based in Nottingham UK playing Prog/Psych/'70s Rock/Pop. For fans of BLACK MOUNTAIN, GHOST, KING GIZZARD, UNCLE ACID. The combination of guitar, hammond organ, electric cello, bass and drums is a tip of the hat to the MAHAVISHUU ORCHESTRA sound, but with six-part QUEEN-esque vocal harmonies and THIN LIZZY pop-rock structures.

Brought together by songwriter Bill Fisher, the group features some of the best musicians in the universe:

Michael Wetherburn - Hammond Organ & BV (HELLSET ORCHESTRA, ULYSSES STROM)
Loz Stone - Drums (IRON SWAN, RESCUED BY WOLVES)
Sam Lloyd - Bass & BV (YOU SLUT!, PILGRIM FATHERS)
Jo Joyce - Backing Vocals (Solo Artist)
Amy Nicholson - Electric Cello & BV (HELLSET ORCHESTRA, POLYMATH)
Caroline Cawley - Backing Vocals (DYSTOPIAN FUTURE MOVIES, CLUB AC30)
Bill Fisher - Guitar & LV (MAMMOTHWING, DISTILLERY BLUES BAND)

Today's tune "Black Slug" is taken from the bands debut album "Is Satan Real?". Directed, filmed and edited by Tom Walsh

Tune Of The Day - Top 50 - 2015 (40-31)

Here is the second batch of 10 records that we have choose to qualify to the best albums that 2015 have given us. Here is the albums between 40 - 31. Today's tune will be publish later on this evening. So here we go!

40. Saxon - Battering Ram

SAXON, the classic NWOBHM band that year after year give us a new record, "Battering Ram" is the twenty-first studio album that really rocks!

39. The Night Flight Orchestra - Skyline Whispers

"Skyline Whispers" is an excellent album that have a great swing where the 70’s muscle meets the 80's poprock.

38. Uncle Acid - The Night Creeper

With "The Night Creeper" does UNCLE ACID spreads their wings and explore some new sounds, but the main psychedelic horror is still the basic and the sound is still very unique UNCLE ACID.

37. Black Vulpine - Hidden Places

"Hidden Places" is an excellent album that mixes desert grooves with occult/doom vibes and themes.

36. Tau Cross - Tau Cross

Rob "The Baron" Millers project TAU CROSS have given us a cleaver album with lots of variety.

35. Lik - Mass Funeral Evocation

A band that loves DISMEMBER makes a record just for fun that ends up to be a real killer.

34. Jess and the Ancient Ones – Second Psychedelic Coming: The Aquarius Tapes

The Finnish psychedelic rock band have released another flawless occult rock masterpiece.

33. Thåström - Den Morronen

Den Morronen is the more darker follow up to his previous master piece "Beväpna dig med vingar".

32. Paradise Lost - The Plague Within

"The Plague Within" is a really strong PARADISE LOST, a record that grows every new spin.

31. Avatarium - The Girl With The Raven Mask

"The Girl With The Raven Mask" is the second release from the doom master Leif Edling. Here the creativity have been very high and created a brilliant album, but with a late release and to few spins to climb higher. It's a position that I'm sure I will regret.


Today's tune will be posted later this evening. Cheers

Uncle Acid - Runaway Girls

The British psychedelic doom metal band from Cambridge, "Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats”  have recently released a new single ”Runaway Girls” together with a new video, see below.

Their music is heavily influenced by the late 1960s when heavy metal was emerging. Allmusic praised the band's ability to recreate a particular aspect of this era, describing the band as "celebrating the Summer of Love's soul-chilling autumn: a blasted landscape, post-flower power, resembling Altamont's killing fields, reeking of the Manson Family murders, and, naturally, sounding like a mish-mash of all of the apocalyptic musical forces that converged upon that era.

The band toured internationally during 2013 and 2014, and played at festivals including Roadburn, Download, Hellfest, Roskilde, Bukta Tromsø Open Air Festival, Montreaux Jazz Festival, Øya Festival, Valkhof, Beacons, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Off Festival, and Soundwave. They supported Black Sabbath on sixteen dates of their Reunion Tour in Europe in November and December 2013. After touring in New Zealand, Australia and Europe in early 2014, their schedule for 2014 includes Maryland Deathfest, Nova Rock Festival, Eurockéennes, Copenhell and Pukkelpop festival.
