Church of Misery

Church of Misery is a japanese doom metal band with a specific extra-groovy sound that is often described as "stoner doom" but the band tends to snub this term saying "We hate trend. We hate corporate attitude. We hate the word 'stoner'. Death to false stoners!! Let there be DOOM!!" (citation from the Master of Brutality album cover artwork notes).
Band was formed in 1996 in Tokyo by bassist Tatsu Mikami (ex-Salem) and guitarist Tomohiro Nishimura, line-up was completed with singer Nobukazu Chow and drummer Hideki Shimizu.

No Anchor

Ian and Alex were born. Years later, they met in Brisbane City. Later still they formed a band. To date they’ve done very little with their band. One day they will probably record a record and tour, it’s probable. But you could also accurately say that one day they will break up, that seems inevitable. Also inevitable is the fact that Alex and Ian will die at some point in the future. Sorry. BUT...

Starvation

#1 Starvation was a hardcore punk band from Požega, Croatia, active trough the 2000's, they participated in the cult "Crust is dead" 4-way split tape with Dislike, Fight Back and Apatdridi. they also played a large number of shows #2 Starvation is some of the bleakest music to come from the US East Coast in recent times. Maybe it's being surrounded constantly by drooling yuppies or self-conscious, ironic hipsters that created the need for Starvation. Whatever it is, there's something in the air in Connecticut that makes all this doom and gloom as natural as taking a big honking dump.

Stitched Vision

Stitched Vision is Jason Campbell, once global roamer now fringe-dwelling citizen of Newcastle, Australia. His pedal-heavy synthscapes are neither nostalgic nor futuristic, but rather channel the current plight of his city of residence, unfolding as explorations of urban decay and cultural regeneration. Understated melodies sheathed in white noise – pitting the organic against the industrial – mark Campbell’s work and come to symbolise Newcastle’s attempts at rejuvenation beyond its steelworks and coal exporting harbour (the largest in the world).
