RETRO GRAVE/TROUBLE – Interview with Oly Olson
This month metal centre chats with Oly Olsen; probably best know to some of you as the drummer from legendary doom band TROUBLE. Over the last year TROUBLE has released their first album in over ten years as well as touring Europe and America. Oly has also been busy with his other band RETRO GRAVE; whose EP earlier this year brought us a great taste of traditional doom.
REVEREND BIZARRE „So Long Suckers”
This album marks the end of an era for a truly great doom metal band. REVEREND BIZARRE have been pleasing doom fans for over a decade, but now their time has come to lay the Reverend to rest.
ARGUS „Spring demo 2007”
This has been around for a while now, but this demo is phenomenally good for something the band is allowing people to download for free. The band contains Butch Balich who some of you may know from PENANCE.
DARKTHRONE „F.O.A.D.”
For any long time DARKTHRONE listeners dont be expecting, Under a funeral moon or, Transylvanian hunger. The album has taken a more thrash orientated direction. Think MOTORHEAD or VENOM with a black metal tinge.
TRUCKFIGHTERS „Phi”
Swedish stoners TRUCKFIGHTERS have been establishing themselves nicely over the last few years. Their previous album gravity X was a solder stoner album in the vein of KYUSS.

VARIOUS ARTISTS „Noone gets out alive”
This compilations covers six tracks from bands confirmed for the no one gets out alive tour taking place later this year. I did wonder if this was going to be more of a psychedelic compilation from the name (lyrics from the doors five to one), but sadly it wasnt to be.
CENTURIONS GHOST – Interview with Rich
Londons CENTURIONS GHOST have gone from strength to strength. They have been bringing us heavy, crushing metal for almost five years now. The band mixes elements of doom, black and death to devastating effect. The band has spent the last year touring America and Europe and has just played a support slot for CANDLEMASS. Rich from the band was kind enough to answer some questions for metal centre.
OUR DYING CONCEPT „Our Dying Concept”
The band name would seem suitable. They dont really have any concepts of their own so theyll just replicate others.
GENTLEMENS PISTOLS „Gentlemens Pistols”
This is only the debut album from GENTLEMENS PISTOL. When you look at what the band has already achieved you would expect them to be a bit further into their recording career.
