If there has to be just one band in the new millenium which could compare to the 90's forefathers and creators of misanthropic mind-altering Sludge (GRIEF, DYSTOPIA, NOOTHGRUSH) it has undoubtely to be New Zealand's METH DRINKER. The level of NOISE and HATE created by these three sociopaths remains unmatched.
This is absolutely unmissable stuff which keeps hundreds of people worldwide hunting for their records even a few years after the band ceased to exist."

NEW RELEASES FROM CACTUS!

CAC050 - SIGMUN "MMXII" CDep
Sigmun is from Bandung, Indonesia. They played heavy driven Psychedelic, Blues Rock tunes in the vein of older bands like Led Zeppelin or the latest new bands like Graveyard from Sweden. Great energy, tripping and powerful high pitch vocals from their vocalist, Haikal Azizi are a simple explanation to describeSigmun.
Taken from their website regards to why they called emselves, Sigmun: "Their interest in Sigmund Freud concepts of unconscious mind and their love for the whimsical world of surrealism are evidently showing in their lyrics. enjoying the exploration of absurdism and juxtaposition in their writings, Dali, Magritte and Chirico might have influenced them as much as Page and Iommi did, paintings made out of hazy poetry and heavy echoed chords."
This CD featured 5 songs in nearly 27 minutes which 4 of them had been previously can be stream for free which was courtesy from the band. Cactus had agree to release the 4 songs + 1 new recorded songs, and had take care of the mastering process, which is done by Jack Control of Enormous Door Mastering in Texas.
