Wolf Prayer – Spell of the Crimson Eye (Barhill Records)

This is German Stoner/Fuzz, it’s the bands second album. It’s been over 20 years since I have personally dipped or “tripped” seriously into this field, so its touch of a memory lane thing for me this album. ‘Cards of Evil’… Continue Reading →

Megalith Levitation – Void Psalms (Aesthetic Death)

Back in 2020 my ears were pummelled by the split Megalith Levitation did with fellow Russkies Dekonstructor and it served as a great stop gap after the previous year’s debut long player Acid Doom Rites. The trio have been mining the Ural Mountains once more to construct giant slabs… Continue Reading →

Bongzilla- Weedsconsin (Heavy Psych)

“Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. The world is filled with smoke. Here comes Bongzilla”.  Don’t worry folks Blue Oyster Cult have not released an album called Don’t Fear the Reefer. It’s just when the self-proclaimed kings of Weed Metal return with a new album after 16 years and following a live hiatus of… Continue Reading →

Howling Giant / Sergeant Thunderhoof – Turned to Stone Chapter II: Masamune & Muramasa (Ripple Music)

It’s fair to say that 2020 has been a right old shit shower for live music that you can attend as opposed to watch on the computer. It’s only July as I type this review, and already emails are coming… 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 →

Space Coke – L Appel Du Vide (Mystery School Records)

Fuzz buzz a go go from this Columbia South Carolina quartet on this their first full length.  Fans of Uncle Acid will dig these dudes take on Sabbath soaked psychedelic B movie grooves. The band have a love of Butthole Surfers… Continue Reading →

Black Elephant – Cosmic Blues (Small Stone)

Apparently, you can’t tell what a book is about just by looking at its cover. Or something like that. You know the saying. But how about an LP? It’s much easier, isn’t it? Let’s say you came across Black Elephant’s… Continue Reading →

Blacklab – Under The Strawberry Moon 2.0 (New Heavy Sounds)

I was pleased to see this crop up in the review lists as a friend had highlighted the name Blacklab a while back and for once it has lodged in my tiny brain. Blacklab are a guitar/vocals and drum duo… Continue Reading →

Fu Manchu – Clone Of the Universe (At The Dojo)

Pioneering fuzz enthusiasts Fu Manchu, one of the pillars of the stoner rock and desert rock genres are back once more with album number 12; “Clone Of The Universe”. The long awaited and highly anticipated follow up to 2014’s ‘Gigantoid’… Continue Reading →

Obake – Draugr (RareNoise Records)

Obake has nothing to do with a popular UK TV series, but is a Japanese term which means “that which changes” or “ghost of a departed one”. “Draugr”, which itself refers to a creature returning from the dead, is the… Continue Reading →

Truckfighters- V (Century Media)

Five albums into their career, “V” finds Truckfighters in fine form and obviously a band comfortable with their place in the world. The Swedes continue to blast away with their own style of fuzz laden, stoner metal that has earned… Continue Reading →

Blaak Heat – Shifting Mirrors (Svart)

I can’t recall an album where the opening has cried out “prog!” to me in such a way as this one. But this is a prog which winds along regressively as well as progressively with a 70s hard rock fuzz… Continue Reading →
