Unkle K's Bands of the Week

Cheap Art
Blistering fastcore/powerviolence from Atalanta. 14 tracks in about 12 minutes. Not all foot to the floor, some nice build ups and catchy parts.
Bandcamp

Dark Buddha Rising
More occult drone/doom madness from Finland, and what a nasty beast it is. Massive, heavy sound; epic, repetitive riffs of doom. This isn't for everyone but those that enjoy this style will rejoice.
