Diagonal - The Second Mechanism [2012]
The Second Mechanism is second album by progressive rock band Diagonal. Opening cut Voyage/Paralysis is like a meeting of Pink Floyd, Eloy,
and Soft Machine, while the more aggressive These Yellow Sands sees
space rock guitars, analog keyboards, and Passport styled sax lines
collide for an exciting prog brew. Mitochondria contains some furious
jazz-fusion passages mixing with Tangerine Dream styled electronics (the
unison guitar/keyboard/sax lines are outstanding), which will appeal to
any fan of classic Soft Machine, and Hulks sees the first appearance
of vocals in what is otherwise a dense mix of dark prog & jazz,
complete with some searing guitar solos and stabbing sax that culminate
in an almost free-jazz finale. Closer Capsizing is a soaring
jazz-fusion meets space rock jam with scattered sax, guitar, and
keyboard melodies fluttering about the mix, with some nice heavy rock
guitar riffs and leads towards the back end of the song.

Mars Red Sky - Mars Red Sky [2011]
Time for some French psychedelic stoner rock! Mars Red Sky's debut
album is totally amazing. The stoner grooves are all over while psych
elements build up the atmosphere. The vocals manage to get you in a
hypnotic trance state. In its total, Mars Red Sky is a beautiful
well-structed album like a comet in the sky; heavy, burning and at the
same time mesmerizing and spacey.

juggernaut forging crushing
heavy metal evocative of veterans High on Fire and contemporary sonic
craftsmen, Opeth. Anciients have combined fuck-off-huge chords with
mind-altering riffage that takes you on an unfamiliar trip. Heart of Oak is their debut album!

Kadavar - Abra Kadavar [2013]
Berlin trio Kadavar have worked quickly to become one of the most
prominent acts in the European heavy underground. Their 2012 self-titled
debut sounded so organic that even the mp3s had an analog hiss, and
while they carried their songs across with an ultra-natural feel, it was
the confidence in the material and the spontaneous feel of the
performances that made Kadavar’s Kadavar such a watershed release. This is their second album.

Kadavar - Kadavar [2012]
Kadavar offer '70s occult rock at its finest and their debut
catapults them into the top tier of the '70s vintage heavy psych occult
rock on the same level as Orchid and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats.
Kadavar draw from the plentiful fund of creative ideas from bands like
Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Led Zeppelin and Witchfinder General.

Elder - Dead Roots Stirring [2011]
Elder is a sonic interpretation of the forces that surround us - the
pounding waves of ancient seas, the weight of stone colossi rising up
from the earth and the endlessness of inflamed, majestic skies. Equal
parts hypnotic rhythm, uncompromising heaviness, and soaring melody.
Continuously moving both backward towards their roots in heavy rock
while also moving forward into more progressive and psychedelic
territory since their inception in 2006. With Dead Roots Stirring, the
Boston-based trio's second full length album for MeteorCity, Elder
returns from a three year silence with five songs charting new epic
territory.
