Then after our first jam or two, he mentioned he had a bass player friend, Rhys, who might be keen to try playing with us. Anyway, I sent him an email, not expecting it to come to much, but when we jammed it just worked. I think he mentioned Electric Wizard and The Sword, I forget what else.
It was a drummer, Josh, saying he was keen to start playing music of a stoner/doom persuasion. I was ready to give up on the whole band thing when I saw someone else’s ad on Gumtree. I had a couple of jams with different people, but we weren’t enough on the same page. Not being from Melbourne, I didn’t have a big network of friends to go through, so I tried a lot of classified ads and forums on the internet. I had been trying to find people for a band for some time. In the great words of Gared, “We should start back.” Joining me, your Dungeon Master Gram the Son of Sam, on this perilous quest is a bona fide Knight of the Roundtable is the band’s founding member, Jono.įor people in the greater doom community who might just be hearing about your band, Roundtable, let’s get down to the fundamentals. You are about to take a journey with me to uncover the Secrets of the Roundtable! There is only one way to find out for certain, so throw on your High on Fire ‘99 tour shirt for +6 to your armor, strap on your six-stringed axe to get +10 for your attack, roll two ten-sided dice and turn to page 742 of the Grimoire of Merlin The Magician.
Still, I felt I was closing in on something. First stop: “Abarath Pass.“ Who or what, I wondered, is Abarath? Googling it, I discovered there is an “Abarath” Level 30 character in League of Legends, now playing somewhere in North America.
I was on a quest to find out what these musicians were on about. The trio have written a rich and fascinating story, overlaid on their debut record Dread Marches Under Bloodied Regalia (2015), which came out October 29th. There are many ways of sizing up Melbourne band ROUNDTABLE. This one gets high marks from the Goate, who is well-pleased, indeed, with this offering of sun and sound!Ī Chat with Melbourne’s ROUNDTABLE By Gram “Son of Sam” Pola (D&S Australia) Pictures by Melbourne Metal Photography I absolutely enjoyed listening to these 8 tracks from start to finish. Sun Mammuth’s Cosmo (2015) is instrumental heavy music at it’s finest. The guitar really does the singing here, so you never miss vocals - not for one minute - and the rhythm section is teeming with life. It’s hard not to get excited listening to “Evocations I & II,” especially when the stoner-psychedelic vibes are captured so vibrantly in a rich, full-bodied recording like this.
Fans of bands like Kyuss and Truckfighters will find themselves almost magnetically drawn to Sun Mammuth. Now, we have a new release before us by the aptly named SUN MAMMUTH, of Lousada. One of the lesser known, but burgeoning European scenes is Portugal, where the Reverence Festival is growing year by year and attracting bands and fans from around the world. Zakk Wylde & Mike InezĮnter Sun Mammoth’s Sun-Drenched Landscapes By Billy Goate (Editor in Chief) Album Art by Gomes da Selva Hell, William Fuckin’ Shatner even makes a guest appearance with Zakk Wylde and Mike Inez (which song? WHICH SONG? Why “Iron Man,” of course)! I mean this thing is PACKED with goodies You have got to get your mits on this one.ĩ.

It’s got a bunch of doom-stoner bands on it: Pentagram, Mos Generator (Tony Reed is on FIRE!), Cancer Bats (of course! Remember, they have the famous alter ego Bat Sabbath), Weedpecker (nice to see our Weedian brothers getting a higher profile!), Wo Fat, Bloody Hammers (covering “Changes”!), Stoned Jesus, Witch Mountain (Portland, represent!), Golden Void, House of Broken Promises, Scorpion Child, Ulver etc. So there’s this most EXCELLENT double album of Sabbath covers that came out recently called ‘Sweet Leaf - A Stoner Rock Salute to Black Sabbath’ (2015 - Deadline Music).
