Solar Sons – Another Dimension (S/R)

Ave Noctum is a site that very much dwells amongst the denizens of the underground scene, revelling in the music that flies below the radar of much of the metal media, let alone the mainstream, with submissions for review from… Continue Reading →

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 →

Autaar & 404 – In de Kiem Gesmoord (S/R)

Experimental soundscapes and drone here from this collaboration borne out of that pesky pandemic. Autaar is German artist Mark Lindhout and 404 is likeminded Dutchman Joost Van Ophem. The title of the release translates to ‘nipped in the bud’ and… Continue Reading →

Domkraft – Seeds (Magnetic Eye Records)

I’ve opined this many times before in prior online ramblings, but damn me if Sweden doesn’t produce more bands per head of population than pretty much any other nation in the world, and that’s just in the realms of hard… Continue Reading →

La Morte Viene Dallo Spazio – Trivial Visions (Svart Records)

Inspired by sci-fi Italian horror films and soundtracks, La Morte Viene Dallo Spazio are a space ritual project on a “free-form journey”. Psychedelic vibes and obscurity would seem to be the bywords here. Mystical and mysterious is how this work… Continue Reading →

Giöbia – Plasmatic Idol (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Whilst very much the underground label so beloved of the scribes of Ave Noctum, and by extension your good selves reading this, Heavy Psych Sounds is definitely building up a solid and interesting catalogue of artists, to the extent that… Continue Reading →

Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard – Yn Ol I Annwn (New Heavy Sounds)

Welsh outfit Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard’s upward trajectory seems to know no boundaries at the moment. A visionary band, they set out on their quest to create a psychedelic, sci-fi trilogy that started with 2015’s “Noeth Ac Anoeth”, and 2017’s… Continue Reading →

Spacetrucker – Smooth Orbit – 2nd Pass (S/R)

Go on, just from the name guess what kind of music Spacetrucker play? Actually yes, but this St Louis trio have a little more under their cosmic hood than meets the eye. This is I believe their second self released… Continue Reading →

Motorowl – Atlas (Century Media)

East German psychedelic-doom five piece Motorowl are back once again with the follow up to their 2016 debut ‘Om Generator’. Much like their previous album, “Atlas” continues the use of psychedelic rock, 70’s style rock, space rock and elements of… Continue Reading →

Barst – The Endeavour (Consouling Sounds)

Apparently this is the seventh release from Belgian collective Barst. I can’t say I know much about the first five but last album ‘The Western Lands’ went down a treat. Imaginative, experimental and with literary source going back to William… Continue Reading →

Aerolith – Aerolith & Aerolith II (Jumping High Records)

So, what is Aerolith? Care of my very amateur science background, without having to looking it up I know it’s a form of meteorite, mainly of a rocky composition. It’s also, therefore, a very appropriate name for a self-defined space-rock… Continue Reading →

Der Blutharsch and the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand- What makes you Pray (WBR)

Transmission number 53 apparently from planet Der Blutharsch and these are becoming a bit of a regular thing since they discovered us. Not a problem, I am happy to waffle on about this Austrian lot’s odd musical cosmos. Their promo… Continue Reading →
