KODIAK "is not a band that you just play for enjoyment; it needs time and attention, but when it locks you in its slowly developing, pachyderm-paced punishing groove, KODIAK has a lot to offer, proving that monotony and monolithic heaviness are enough to make great songs, if you know how. Kodiak definitely know it." (rock-a-rolla)
BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS "Germans Black Shape Of Nexus enveloped everyone in a bleak miasma of hatred and despair." (Terrorizer); Appropriately for BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS as the suffocating heaviness of their music functions either way – they can be the centre of your worst nightmares or the connection to all those dark places where you don’t ever want to go. Or both. Pummelling you with painfully slow doom and finishing you off with acrid, harsh drones, B-SON give down-tempo a whole new meaning.
KODIAK | NADJA - SPLIT CD/LP
Heavyweight gatefold covers. 180 pieces on 180g clear vinyl with black and blue splatter, 320 pieces on 180g black vinyl.
This split-LP from the canadian shoegazers NADJA and the still new and fresh german band KODIAK comes up with two sidelong, complex tracks. Complex in the sense of combining atmospheric instrumental fields with very dark symphonies. Intense!
NADJA: ''In doom and drone, genres where much of the stuff can sound remarkably similar, here is a band that stands apart as a beacon. Nadja have the deep drones and all the darkness of doom, but also have intricate melodies that permeate their long dirges...What's commendable about Nadja is the alchemical experimentation with the genres resulting in a unique concoction of doom metal, drone, shoegazer layering, and avant-rock explorations.''
KODIAK: is not a band that you just play for enjoyment; It needs time and attention, but when it locks you in its slowly developing, pachyderm-paced punishing groove, Kodiak has a lot to offer, proving that monotony and monolithic heaviness are enough to make great songs, if you know how. Kodiak definitely know it.

KODIAK - S/T LP
If you like Switchblade, Pelican, Earth or A Storm Of Light you should definitely check out the debut of these great guys from Germany! 2 songs, 40 minutes of algid and monolithic soundscapes - comparable to a long lonely haunting trip through the arctic. With a guest cello appearance of Emily from Audrey. Definitely better than your current favourite instrumental metal band! Haha
available vinyl colors: ice blue vinyl (150), clear vinyl (350)
