Valient Thorr
Total Universe Man (Vinyl LP)
Label: Volcom Origin: USA
180 gram vinyl! Start with a fat dose of The Hellacopters. These bastards play it so tight. The singer makes me think of Iggy, the pace makes me think of Motorhead, and the vibe makes me think of MC5, but we have some spaciness here that will make this of more interest to Stoner Rock fans. The things is, the playing here is so good that Valient Thorr could call themselves prog with just a few more chord/tempo changes. They bring the rock to the party, and they smoke...

Valis/Kandi Coded
Split 7 inch (Color) (Vinyl 7")
Label: Volcom Origin: USA
Limited edition of only 500 hand numbered copies on pink vinyl. While unmistakably VALIS in sound - think boozy, bluesy rock - there’s a definite “Truckstop“/“Miss Ice Cream Cool” vibe to the song. That makes sense, seeing how the song’s about a woman coked to the gills and looking for trouble. This was the bonus track on the band’s recent Dark Matter, and if the rest of the album’s as good as this, I ought to go revisit it. On the flip side is Kandi Coded, who trade gr...

Valkyrie
Man of Two Visions (Black) (Vinyl LP)
Label: Kreation Origin: USA
Limited edition on black vinyl! It's that relentless, take no prisoners approach that's the hardest to recreate when the tape's rolling, but Man of Two Visions comes close enough to hammer home the central strength of the group – their ability to fuse classic rock with classic metal and classic doom. It's The Scorpions' In Trance and all of the essential Thin Lizzy records mixed with the first two Iron Maiden albums and leavened with a crushing dose of Pentagram and St ...

Valkyrie
Self Titled (Black) (Vinyl LP)
Label: Kreation Origin: USA
Extremely limited edition on black vinyl! I first heard of this Harrisonburg, VA outfit with their Sunlight Shines EP, a three-song collection of some of the finest Pentagram by way of Hawkwind doom out there. Unlike a good number of their doom contemporaries, Valkyrie guitarists Pete and Jake Adams aren’t afraid to lay down some serious soloing. It seems like every song is aching to explode with some harmonized leads or some back and forth dueling. Valkyrie is ...

Valkyrie/Bible of the Devil
Split 7 inch (Blue) (Vinyl 7") (Import)
Label: Heavy Birth Origin: Netherlands
Limited edition on blue vinyl. Bible of the Devil from Chicago, IL are a rocking combo with a heavy double guitar attack. In five years they made four great albums that, although all very good, show a definite increase in craftmanship and songwriting skills. So far the band put out two split 7"s with other bands: with fellow Chicagoans The Last Vegas in 2004, and San Francisco's ‘The Lord Weird' Slough Feg in 2006. Last year they picked Rockbridge County, VA's doom meta...

The Valley
Self Titled (Color) (Vinyl 10")
Label: Self Release Origin: USA
Limited edition of only 500 copies in black splatter on purple vinyl!! This Seattle trio brings upbeat and bombastic energy to the table they call rock. This is good pop sensibility with the love of a Big Muff pedal. The Valley is most influenced by early Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, and Mudhoney. I really cannot stress enough the energy this release exudes. It just never lets up and there is this perfect marriage of sing along melodies and fuzzy riffs. The production i...
