Maggot Brain Are a Stoner metal outfit hailing from Spain who I found on last.fm (well worth getting involved with if you haven't already). These guys have an awesome sound, with a feel hailing back to the forefathers of stoner rock, Kyuss. The guitars are as thick and meaty as any 80's porn film innuendo, drums full and wide (possibly a more obscure 80's porn film innuendo) and they've got a great energy. Problem is the whole thing's spoilt a bit by an over zealous Spanish dude who's slightly cheesey broken English cheapens the whole deal. Plus he's far too loud in my opinion. Still, have a look you idiot.
Secondly, I was at a barbecue last night and found a C.D by Slaughter which I naturally picked up and stared at for a good ten minutes. Anyways, they're A Canadian thrash outfit that've been releasing since 1984 and they're awes and cart - If you're going to check them out, then don't confuse them with the immensely wank American band of the same name.
Thirdly, Immortal Lee County Killers explode with some aggressive blues inspired writhing, punctuated by what appears to be a crazy homeless chap with half a broken bottle wedged in his dirty clavicle. Mucky sounds for Mucky folk. It'd make a good soundtrack to a particularly brutal bar fight. Check out 'Robert Johnson' and 'Let's get killed'.
Best till last and all that, Todd have re-shuffled their line up and returned to the heavy fold with a trademark and purposefully badly recorded bang.
(Perhaps the most lackluster thrash band logo, but I love it like a retarded brother)
