Same Road - Bar Camp: Czas Na Zmiany (2010)

'Tracks 1-4 & 10 are improv/jams. Track 2 is for performance of Andrzej Ciesielski and track 3 for performance of Robert Knuth (who is actually shouting in this track). Tracks 5,6 & 9 came from "Muzyka do mycia okien" and we play these live very often. Track 7 is one of our new tracks and 8 is one of our first tune ever. The last one is a soundtrack to a movie we've all been watching at the end of this night. So as I said: 100% live, in one microphone, 15.05.2010'

Same Road - Cinema Optica (2004)

'Formed in 2003 in Koszalin, Poland. Our goal was to create long, guitar driven tracks in the vein of krautrock, psychedelic, noise music. We try to experiment with the sound and the different ways of recording. It led us to the point of 100% live records and freely changing structures within each track.'

Great & interesing improv/jam band, thanks to Emil for sending me these (Bass). For more info & alt. downloads visit sameroadnoise.blogspot.com.

The Puritan - Lithium Gates (2008)

Crushing doom from Finland with Sami Hynninen (Reverend Bizarre, Spiritus Mortis) on bass & vocals. Compilation album, includes the sold-out MLPs "The Puritan" and "The Black Law".

'Cold, bleak and crushing “Lithium Gates” is a compilation of The Puritan’s two previous limited edition 12” vinyl albums “The Puritan” and “The Black Law”, both released by Swedish label I Hate Records. “Lithium Gates” is an aural disavowment of mankind, The Puritan is focused almost completely on the hatred and rejection of mankind and the death of current culture. No catharsis here, no light. Not a good time doo-wop-shooby-doo record by any means.' -Spinefarm records.

hYPNOTIC hYSTERIA - Feed On Me (2010)

Here's another band request (by Dowi/ guitar) with a little review.

hYPNOTIC hYSTERIA from Bergamo, Italy. 'Feed On Me' is the band's third album, expect something different with all kinds of influences. From tasty stoner/ fuzz/ grunge to alt- progressive rock..

Songs like 'Inside Your Mouth' & the single 'Feed On Me' kept me coming back for more. These tracks have a really interesting, catchy and even slightly dramatic tone to them, this sound makes hYPNOTIC hYSTERIA kinda fresh and unique to the genre. The third track 'Vaniloquentia' is a small, acoustic-ambient part that gives some early breathing space before going in the next 4 tracks. 'I Can't Hear You' somewhat reminded me of Tool when I first heard it (twitchy riffs/ drums & more powerful vocals) while the opening riff in Feed On Me is somewhere between Truckfighters & Dozer. So solid songwriting, great vocals + a healthy dose of variation make this album complete, and with only 7 tracks it's not a demanding listen at all. It rocks & it hypnotizes, Check it out:
