Alice M. Didn’t know about those guys before the Neurot sale. Incredibly atmospheric psych / space stuff.

Slug. This is wonderful.

Meditative and tranquil, but with the knowledge that your life is coming to an abrupt end, all your deeds haunting you as you pass on.

I feel this would be an awesome soundtrack to the show, “Longmire.”

Crippled Black Phoenix, Jaye Jayle, Pink Floyd, and Only Living Witness perfectly blended and topped with a hint of Neurosis’ bleak, primal decay. Favorite track: Ephraim In The Stars.

thx neurot

OK, this is not metal, but this is one of the best written albums I have ever had the pleasure to hear. From layer to layer to layer...

Marcin Wielewski I found USX last year, and now came back to another great release of cosmic blues. I love additional instruments which create great atmosphere. Favorite track: Wolf On Anareta.

The Midnight Toker. What a find again digging through the bandcamp crates.

Dr. Slotch U.S. Christmas was a great band that put together an almost psychedelic listening experience. Reminiscent of Neurosis, but with a southern vibe, this album is well worth the price.

__________________________________________________

USX now approaches a decade of playing, recording, and evolving, and continues to blur the boundaries of heavy music with earsplitting rock that is by turns jangly, crushing, and dark. The band has often been associated with space rock, and German Rolling Stone even included the band in an article/compilation cd on the history of that genre. However, USX are not simply continuing the space rock tradition (although USX, Minsk, and Harvestman recently recorded a tribute to the British space-searchers Hawkwind ), but are rather a group of musicians who pay attention to a wide variety of music from all eras and origins. Close attention to the band’s lyrical content will show that USX is not at all concerned with outer space, but rather focuses on themes of earth, nature, and terrestrial human history. In fact, the mountains and people of western North Carolina are a primary influence on the band’s sound. And though many have focused on the band’s use of vintage synthesizers and theremin, the band does not rely on any one instrument to create its bizarre sounds – proof that brains and hands are a musician’s most important tools.
