    It's a rare pleasure to have two sonically similar releases in the same span of time. Some would even refer them to being AOTY contenders overall. If you haven't picked up a copy these albums, and are looking to check it out, here's a low-priced combo with Drug Honkey's limited CD and Jupiterian's 8-panel Digipak CD.

  • DRUG HONKEY - Hail Satan (Reissue)
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This is the massively underrated sophomore full length by this surreal atmospheric doom/sludge band. It's regarded by many as the turning point in the band's career and if you ask me, it's unlike any other out there. Here are a few copies from the Russian label that reissued this one recently (it's been long sold out!) at the same price. Listen to their infamous song Heroin here - youtu.be/TqPYh4cewvQ

    Includes unlimited streaming of Cloak of Skies via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

US band DRUG HONKEY have always been a step ahead of their peers, if there were any in the first place. Their brand of death/doom is something nightmarish, vaguely psychedelic and exudes a post-apocalyptic quality too. They've taken the vision of GODFLESH and added their own twist to it, making it darker, surreal and morbid. And yet there's a strangely reassuring quality to their atmospheric music. There's a form of tenacity in their music of the same kind that will have you crawl ahead in life despite all its inherent ugliness pinning you down. They are taking things to a different level, with guest contributions from the legend himself, Justin K. Broadrick (GODFLESH, JESU) and Bruce Lamont (YAKUZA, CORRECTIONS HOUSE) with his saxophone eeriness, and having the hand-painted artwork of Paolo Girardi (INQUISITION, CHTHE'ILIST) represent the pulsating sickness of this ambitious and unconventional release.
