Om is a duo formed in 2003 by the rhythm section of the disbanded doom metal band Sleep. feature Al Cisneros on vocals and bass and Chris Hakius on drums. This is their second and in my opinion best record.

Levon Helm Dirt Farmer

A departure from the kind of thing i usually post on here, Levon Helm's 2007 album Dirt Farmer. His voice is gravelier than ever after treatment for throat cancer. All the songs are about farming and he sounds like the real deal. Get this.

Harkonen

This band has had a lot of line-up changes and releases to keep track. They formed in 97' and split up after their last release 05'. They had a couple releases under Hydra-Head and splits with These Arms Are Snakes and Breather Resist. The vocalist went on to form Helms Alee who are also very good. Here are the Grizz (2001), Dancing (2003) and Like A Virgin (2005) albums.

Cynic Focus

Cynic were a short lived early nineties progressive death metal band. Part growled part synthesized vocals featured members of Death. This album tails off a little after the first two songs but its well worth downloading for them alone.

Dog will hunt!

Suicidal Tendencies, Suicidal Tendencies

My of my all time favorites from my youth, a friend gave me a copy of this one on cassette and i wore it out for a couple of years. Not considered a hardcore band because of their later more metal albums but this one was their best.

Dr Hunter S Thompson University of Colorado 1977

An excellent quality - and highly entertaining - live recording from back in the day from a man who will never be equaled in terms of writing and such.

The man left us with a wealth of peculiar, eceentric, and right-fucking-on insights on life, the status quo, counter-culture, politcs, America, drugs, war, the law, rock 'n roll, and literally left this weathered pebble of ours with a bang.

take off eh!

This has to be the strangest "soundtrack" I've ever heard. After hitting it big on SCTV, the McKenzie brothers (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) made the transition to LP and then to the big screen in "Strange Brew," which was a take-off on "Hamlet" (!!). Despite Bob and Doug's claims that "this isn't our second album," it most certainly is. The album mainly features their comedic banter, along with the title song and a few excerpts from the score (but they're "those guys who talk over songs and wreck 'em"). It barely qualifies as a soundtrack, but it is an essential companion piece for fans of the film. It's really a shame that this one hasn't gotten a CD release. I've owned this album for over 20 years (as you can see in my new banner above), but I have to give credit for the rips and scans to Check the Cool Wax. This rip would doubtlessly be better than one of my own... Make sure to check out the scans of the sleeve in the rar!

Breadwinner

Breadwinner was a math rock-band based in Richmond, Virginia composed of: Pen Rollings (guitar), Robert Donne (bass), and Chris Farmer (drums). Rollings had previously been a member of hardcore punk outfit Honor Role. Merge Records released two 7-inch singles and one full-length CD, Burner (1994), comprising the two out of print singles and 3 unreleased tracks, after the band had broken up. The group has been called "the consummate math band and are one of the key bands in the early history of math rock. The metal band, Lamb of God, have cited Breadwinner as a major influence on their music.

Münn

Great droning black metal from the label Woodsmoke out of Salem, Oregon. The production on this one is not great but if anything it adds weight to the theme. Imagine a Burzum rehearsal tape only darker and more drawn out.
