Minimalist composer Heinali and poet Matt Finney join forces to make some of the greatest 'doomgaze' yet. A genius collaboration to the core. Highly recommended.
Vessel I's V#I# Infinity Tour Demo combines the lo-fi will of bands like Orrery and combines them with the serene scope of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Check the article for a free download.
New blood! There’s nothing much better than unearthing an obscurity before most of the world, especially when it’s quality. This is precisely the case with Toronto’s Godstopper though it’s a riddle to work out what it is these guys even play.
A review of Pallbearer's stunning debut demo: Melancholic doom of the highest grade.
Here at LURKER we’re no strangers to decent ambient music. In the past we’ve been lucky enough to be introduced to the darkened, brooding calm of Sequences and the shambling free-folk of a death cinematic, two projects that have been creating beautiful and meticulous soundscapes for some time but remain regretfully unnoticed by the wider...

Aug 28, 2010 • Deleterious are a four piece outfit from Holland. The band were bought to my attention by Mr. Japenga, who handles drum duties for both Deleterious and Terzij de Horde, at the latter bands recent UK show. The band have made the latest EP, ‘Highly Recommended’, available to download on their website. If you like the...

Aug 27, 2010 • The tape only label Novisible Scars has been granted permission to make Vestal Claret’s sold out final EP available for free download as a final farewell from the band after they called it quits last year. Vestal Claret performed exceptional Satanic doom/heavy metal of a high calibre and to be quite honest, it’s sad to...

Aug 17, 2010 • Sunyata Recordings, ruminating somewhere in these great British isles, is a small independent label that has taken to gathering, releasing and supporting a great collection of bands that ooooze talent. The Sunyata Recordings August 2010 Sampler is a free download. The label has planned releases from all of the following bands in the immediate future:...
I downloaded this a long time ago and totally fucking forgot about it. On first listen, it’s pretty damn good! So I thought I’d direct those also unaware towards a free download of The Arm And Sword Of A Bastard God’s demo, first made available from the band’s myspace way back in early 2009. TAASOABG...
This split was spewed forth from the vaults of ChristHammer Records last month and displays some ferocious underground black metal spirit from three promising American bands; Killgasm, Shitestrom and Valdur. California’s Killgasm steamroll the proceedings with tongues planted firmly in cheek for their brand of offensive and trashy blackened grind. Opener Shit On Her Corpse is an enjoyable...
Ok so… Anchorites are a “chaos magick/social libertarian/stoner/discordian/post-civilisation/arts collective” from Brooklyn, NY. Being assaulted with a string of bizarre and divergent ‘ideologies’ is made all the stranger when they also make it clear that they are “vehemently anti fascist, rascist, homphobic, sexist, xenophobic, police, state and any other form of scum” as well. Clearly Anchorites...
Lurker is being spoilt in regard to the amount of death metal we’re being sent. And good death metal as well. As in pant-shittingly scary death metal. Last month we were treated to the unstoppable death/grind of Dethroned Emperor and the oppressive gloom of Anhedonist. July opens with a release from the Netherland’s Primal Order....
