The Stockholm-based trio offer seven songs on the 37-minute long-player, and meet heavy rock methodologies and tones with darker currents of metal and a raw progressivism in the construction. What does any of that mean? Well, they have fuzz and, broadly speaking, are riff led. \[…\] ## [HUFR Fest II Adds Denver Showcase Pre-Show w/ Cobranoid and More](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/18/hufr-fest-ii-pre-show/) _2026-08-18 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ So, in addition to the addition of the four-band lineup for the pre-party on May 13 — ‘The Denver Showcase,’ as it’s labeled below — and the badass bill for the rest of the days as has been so far revealed, HUFR Fest II announced this past week that it’s running a poster contest for \[…\] ## [Iron Jinn to Release Zeitgeist on the Run Sept. 19](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/18/iron-jinn-zeitgeist-on-the-run-release/) _2026-08-18 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ Netherlands-based dark heavy progressive rockers Iron Jinn have announced their new album, Zeitgeist on the Run, playing off Paul McCartney and continuing the Louise Te Poele artwork theme from their recent 18-minute premiered-here single “The Futurist.” The record will be out Sept. 19, released at a show in Nijmegen with zZz, and preorders are up now for those \[…\] ## [Review & Full Album Premiere: Celophys, Neanderthal](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/18/celophys-neanderthal-review-full-premiere/) _2026-08-18 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ Ukrainian solo outfit Celophys will release its sixth album, Neanderthal, this Friday, Aug. 21, through Robustfellow Productions. The band operates with Oleksandr Beregovyi as its lone denizen, and was last heard from with 2022’s Wulong, though “Paleo Dub,” which closes here, was also issued as a standalone single in 2025 and while four years matches \[…\] ## [Domkraft to Release Night Songs Nov. 20; “Void Runner” Video Posted](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/18/domkraft-night-songs-release/) _2026-08-18 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ It’s kind of astonishing how identifiable Domkraft‘s sound has become over the last decade. There’s no doubt who you’re listening to in the new single “Void Runner,” even as the Swedish trio lean into atmospherics, adjusting the balance of impact and ambience that has made their records to-date so spaciously crushing while furthering the songwriting \[…\] ## [Materializer East Coast Tour Starts Aug. 26](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/17/materializer-east-coast-tour/) _2026-08-17 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ Materializer is the two-piece of guitarist/vocalist Conner Poole and drummer Chris Poole, brothers who up until last year were bandmates in the trio The Swell Fellas. If you caught wind of that band’s 2024 swansong LP, Residuum Unknown (review here), you probably already know that the moniker didn’t really suit the album’s heavy and post-metallic atmospheres, \[…\] ## [Constance Tomb Announce November European Tour Dates](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/17/constance-tomb-euro-tour/) _2026-08-17 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ About a month ago, Washington heavy post-punk rockers Constance Tomb let it be known that the basic tracks for their new album, which is revealed to be called Exploding Head in the tour announcement that follows here, were done. Band founder/principal songwriter Tony Reed (Mos Generator, late of Pentagram, etc.) had already assembled a live trio and they’ve been doing \[…\] ## [The Ribeye Brothers to Release Shipmates of Sound Oct. 30; “Not Today” Streaming](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/17/the-ribeye-brothers-shipmates-of-sound-release/) _2026-08-17 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ Set to release Oct. 30 according to The Ribeye Brothers‘ Bandcamp page, the band’s new album, Shipmates of Sound, is also slated to be their final outing, arriving as it will more than a year after the passing of frontman Tim Cronin.

The LP, manageable at 33 minutes and maybe a little punk for the shorter runtime, does not shy away from its sense of worship, whether \[…\] ## [Quarterly Review: Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol, Tidal Wave, Thunderchief, Umma, Rifle, Brass Hearse, Svindel, Dirtmother, Hijss, Deley Sound System](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/14/quarterly-review-summer-2026-day-5/) _2026-08-14 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ Well, I have just about a full week’s worth of news to catch up on, so we must be coming down to the end of the Quarterly Review. “Planets align.

I thought about waiting until 2027 for it, putting it on the list and filing it away for the time being, and that made sense until I actually \[…\] ## [Deathchant to Release Kova Sept. 25; “Enemy” Video Posted](https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2026/08/07/deathchant-kova-release/) _2026-08-07 · JJ Koczan · The Obelisk_ Seeing Deathchant live is always a pleasure, and I’m sure the Los Angeles four-piece will be out again in celebration of their upcoming fourth full-length, Kova.

No I haven’t ripped it all up and sadly there’s no Playmobil exhibition layout.

At £40 it’s not inexpensive but it’s on a par with a reasonable motor and etched gearbox but for refining an existing model it seems good value for a higher quality drive.
