This is some pretty awesome thing posted by the band in the shoutbox here, Wreck and Reference, "doomy experimental rock" would be the best label.

Another Mary Halvorson project, this time it's dissonant noise pop. She's even singing here.

Harvey Milk - Special Wishes

Equal(?) parts metal, noise, grunge and pure emotions, of that fuck you all kind.

he's got a LOOOOOO(aaargh)OOOOOOVE

Extra Life - Made Flesh

Second album by the awesome Extra Life. Some say it's more accessible than "Secular Works" but whatever, both are great. This one is heavier on arrangements and synths. The best feature of the band, the chants/vocals are unchanged and thank G*d for that.

Varghkoghargasmal - EP, split w/ October Falls, Drowned in Lakes

Three records (outa four, the demo is missing) in a single archive. Varghkoghargasmal play "wooden black metal". It's louse, lo-fi, half-improvised outsider music, sounds like jazz or surf rock sometimes. It's awesome.

The Wizar'd - Pathways Into Darkness

The Wizar'd used to be a medicore, slightly underinspired trad.doom band. It took them 6 years and numerous releases to find their sound and create something really worthy. 2010's "Pathways Into Darkness" brings us great, harsh trad.doom with amazing expressive vocals. Yeah, the singer is bad. But was Ozzy a good singer, technically? No. Is Albert Witchfinder? Not really. Ol' Rusty Vintage Wizard Master (hail cheesy doom stage names) has this raw, indeed rusty voice and he's finally not affraid to use it.

Jucifer / Show of Bedlam split

I dig it when a split has a "famous" and a new band facing each other. Though both collectives are "new" for me, as this is the first time I'm exposed to either of them. Two 'girly' bands. "Female fronted metal". You know, like Nightwish and Evanescence.
Jucifer deliever a fair dose of harsh punkish sludge(core). Now, Show of Bedlam is a promising newcomer, with a mix of retro, psychedelic sound, doom and twisted female vocals. My personal favourite is "Miss Johnny Shirt", where the vocal palette includes spoken word, 70's singing and screams.
