Sons of Alpha Centauri – Pull (Exile On Mainstream)

Following on from 2021’s Push we now have the other half of the gym split. Well maybe this is not for workout freaks but rather those that love catchy as covid alternative metal /post hardcore with pop hooks and melodies…. Continue Reading →

Gaupa – Myriad (Nuclear Blast)

With Desert Rock, one would be forgiven if your mind jumped straight to the 90’s and the iconic sounds spawned from the Palm Desert area. Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Yawning Man are all bands who spring to mind and the… Continue Reading →

Amon Acid – Cosmogony (Helter Skelter / Regain Records)

Amon Acid haven’t been around that long. Starting life as a duo in 2018, founding members Briony Charvas and Sarantis Charvas have enlisted John Sutcliffe to create a power trio in the truest sense. “Cosmogony” finds the band continuing to… Continue Reading →

Stöner – totally… (Heavy Psych Sounds)

“Let me tell you a story. Me and Nick were jamming for like four or five hours or so and we’ve played together for years and I said “Let’s call the band Stöner” and he said “Yeah!” True story.” Such… Continue Reading →

Temple of Deimos – Heading to Saint Reaper (Argonauta Records)

Cards on the table time folks; despite being supposedly “knowledgeable of” and “in tune with” the current stoner sound, an impression apparently formed by those who have met me, but are not close to me, I’m no oracle of the… Continue Reading →

Mud Spencer – Fuzz Soup (Argonauta)

One person projects are de rigeur these days. No time for band members when you got the vision and skills. Instrumental? Of course – don’t need no shouty egotists to take me where I want to go. But …. a one man… Continue Reading →

Stöner – Stoners Rule (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Wow, heavy, heavy, heavy! Like there’s so much to take in with this release man! Okay, bad jokes aside, and that’s the only kind I do, and vaguely serious amateur music reviewing head in place, there is so much history… Continue Reading →

Sunnata – Burning In Heaven, Melting On Earth (S/R)

Poland’s Sunnata deliver their fourth long player since their formation back in 2013. More than your straight-ahead doom band, they offer up a more rounded music experience that pulsates and immerses the listener. “Crows” opens the album with slightly psychedelic,… Continue Reading →

Slomosa – S/T (Apollon Records)

Tundra rock? Fuzzy, desert stoner metal from Bergen, Norway? Yep, you read that right. Slomosa have dropped their debut long player after having built themselves a nice little reputation in their homeland. The band released the singles “Horses” and “There… Continue Reading →

Louise Patricia Crane – Deep Blue (Peculiar Doll Records)

I am not alone having a whole lotta love for musical collective The Eden House. Formed by musicians with various past ties to cult Gothic acts Fields Of The Nephilim and NFD such as Simon Rippin and Stephen Carey they… Continue Reading →

Brant Bjork – Brant Bjork (Heavy Psych Sounds)

The desert rock scene of California, despite its arid sands, has been a fertile land in terms of growing so many classic acts, spawning the likes of Fu Manchu and Kyuss and its many children. My last encounter with a… Continue Reading →

Witchskull – A Driftwood Cross (Rise Above)

“The skies are dark. The atmosphere is thick with dread. The future looks bleak. Only pure, red-blooded heavy fucking metal can save us now.” That’s the beginning of the bio for Witchskull. And while it might seem a tad exaggerated,… Continue Reading →
