Red Mess.

One of my distant relatives (from what I know probably 4/5 generations back) happens to play in a Doom Metal band. I don't even know this guy - he's still in the 'old country' as the yanks say. I just happened to be searching my pretty damn distinctive surname on Facebook low and behold.. dude happens to be in a pretty awesome Doom band. We have talked though and a Doom orientated family reunion is definitely on the cards. 

IT'S RUNS IN THE BLOOD!!!!

Mojo, Heavy Nuggets Compilations.

These were passed onto me by my Father, an irregular MOJO magazine reader. However, he was nice enough to do me a great kindness and slowly accumulated the below set of compilations! They all feature what we would consider to be proto-metal. I thought the tribute artwork for the later editions also were very tasteful. There are some familiar acts feature (namely Pentagram!) but each one of these really do feature some genuine heavy nuggets. But why spoil the fun? Take a listen for your own damn selves...
