Domkraft – Sonic Moons (Magnetic Eye)

Referring to Swedish power-trio Domkraft as “psychedelic Warlords” is not too wide of the mark. Indeed, on their fourth “Sonic Attack,” it’s evident that this is no gentle trip for aging old hippies to comfortably smoke a blunt to and… Continue Reading →

Pariah Lord – Vultures (Boersma Records)

One second. As starts to reviews go, that’s a new one even for me. So, what does that “one second” mean? How long until I turned it off? Hell no. How long until I knew what was coming for the… Continue Reading →

Decasia – An Endless Feast for Hyenas (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Never has a label been more apt for a band. Decasia’s debut is HEAVY PSYCH baby from the get go. As soon as lion rumbles out of my speakers it whirls around as if whipped by the winds of the Sahara cloaked… 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 →

A Pale Horse Named Death – Infernum in Terra (Long Branch)

Talk about being doomsday prophets. APHND released last album ‘When The World Becomes Undone’ in 2019 and shortly after, that’s exactly what happened. If you thought they were not the happiest band in the world before this, it’s hardly the… Continue Reading →

Butcher In The Fog – Exonerate Me Baby (S/R)

London three-piece Butcher in the Fog have been around for 8 ish years and how I have not heard of them until now is a travesty. Exonerate ME, Baby is their third full length release and they celebrated it recently at London’s beloved scene… Continue Reading →

Jess and the Ancient Ones – Vertigo (Svart Records)

Is it really 4 years since I reviewed “The Horse and Other Weird Tales” by Finns Jess and the Ancient Ones?  Of course time stands for Jess and chums – somewhere around 1967 in a haze of patchouli, flowers and electric kool aid. Exactly how it… Continue Reading →

Black Rainbows – Cosmic Ritual Supertrip (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Treating the world with their own brand of fuzz worship since 2007, Italy’s own Black Rainbows have in that time racked up one hell of a back catalogue, an absolute shed load of shows, and arguably as importantly, built up… Continue Reading →

Caronte – Wolves of Thelema (Van Records)

Italian doom singing about deeply occult themes? Yeah, go on then, I’m in. I haven’t listened to any Italian bands in a really, really long time – not for any reason other than I haven’t really had the opportunity to…. Continue Reading →

Bombus – Vulture Culture (Century Media)

Over the years I’ve seen, surprisingly enough, one hell of a lot of bands live; what else would you expect from a fifty year old whose first concert of choice was Motörhead in 1984? Amongst those many shows, I’ve even… Continue Reading →

Son of Cain – Closer To The Edge (Raging Planet)

On first looking at the sleeve of ‘Closer To The Edge’ with its oh so American muscle car on the front, opening track of ‘Hit The Road’, and band member names of “Nasty A” and “Rattlesnake”, Sons of Cain must… Continue Reading →

Transylvania Stud – The Red Queen (Transcending Records)

Whether a stud or not Andrew Godfrey calls Virginia home and not Transylvania but luckily this EP has something worthy of sinking its teeth into. Looking at his adopted moniker here you may well expect some sort of Finnish glam,… Continue Reading →
