Boston Prog Metallers Momentary Masters Release New Video For Their Superb New Single "Body Tells" from their forthcoming new album

Prog metallers Momentary Masters have just released the latest video of their newest single "Body Tells" from the forthcoming album "Rheospect". Heavy, crunching riffs, ethereal vocals, and winding grooves are the name of the game for this crusher of a track.


Momentary Masters is a four piece Boston-based prog-lite rock band. Subtly weaving prog moves into a digestable, heavy riff-driven format, they are looking to share prog sensibility with the greater rock community throughout New England and beyond.


Their debut album, Rheospect, is a love letter to the album format as a narrative arc. In spirit it tells the story of the creative process from inception (“Prospect”), through the flow state of creation (“Rheospect”), and eventually to letting the product go (“Retrospect”).

Laid out in a palindromic structure, Rheospect plays straight through the roughly 70 minute run time and features big riffs, soaring choruses, dynamic instrumental shifts, and thematic easter eggs.


The band plans to support the record live in the Fall in the greater Boston area and is looking forward to digging into their sophomore record.

Could Seed - French Prog-Rock Collective Unveil Live Video For New Track "Orion"


French instrumental progressive post-rock quartet COULD SEED have unveiled a new live video for “Orion,” another track taken from their forthcoming second album, Terminal, due out October 23 via Klonosphere Records.

Captured live at Studio de la Fuie, the performance showcases the band at their most dynamic, moving between delicate, atmospheric passages and towering crescendos while highlighting the dynamic interplay at the heart of their sound.


Following the previously released “Druids,” “Orion” offers another window into the powerful sonic world of Terminal, an album where progressive rock, post-rock and psychedelia collide with cinematic atmosphere and moments of crushing intensity.

After their critically acclaimed debut The Drop Crisis, Could Seed push their instrumental language further on Terminal, drawing from the cinematic grandeur of Pink Floyd and the progressive psychedelia of Elder to the emotional intensity of Caspian and Russian Circles.

Recorded and mixed by guitarist Jordan Jupin at Studio de la Fuie and mastered by Thibault Chaumont at Deviant Lab, Terminal captures the band's dynamic chemistry with remarkable warmth, depth, and clarity. The evocative artwork by Ana Mady Sun and photography by Régine Cadillac further enrich the album's visual identity.

Terminal will be released on October 23, pre-orders are available at this location.

HEXECUTIONER say this about the album:

"Staring into the depths of the unknown, sensing the unseen forces at play. Energies of the dark and the light, of the old and new, are cloaked in secrecy. Wormholes to other dimensions, bending time and space, high strangeness surrounds Ascension Rock. The manifestations appear during the sound frequency ritual."

Stoner Metallers GODZILLA IN THE KITCHEN Release New Song/Video For HUMILITY From Upcoming New Album


Following Nothing For None, Empty Cribs and Birdsong, GODZILLA IN THE KITCHEN release Humility on September 25, the fourth single from their upcoming album Termination Sequence. At its core is the idea of intellectual humility, the recognition that we can never know everything.

The song takes aim at bad journalism, “scientism” and a lack of critical source evaluation, at a reading culture where headlines become truth, half-knowledge becomes certainty and a short social media post becomes a substitute for expertise. Humility reminds us that authority does not guarantee truth, and that true wisdom begins with recognizing the limits of our own knowledge.

Musically, the song ranks among the most progressive and hardest-hitting tracks on the album. Odd time signatures, an unexpected interlude and a catchy chorus collide with Alternative Metal, Stoner and Progressive influences.

The music video brings the idea to life with a dark sense of humor: A three-man police team chases a banana. An absurd scene that becomes a metaphor for blind action and misplaced priorities.

Exclusive Premiere Of Sludge/Stoner Metallers FIREBREATHER New Song/Video For "ONLY IN THE EYES OF OTHERS" From Forthcoming New Album

Firebreather formed in Gothenburg in 2016, rooted in crushing, sludge-doused doom from the very beginning. Never wavering from that commitment across all three of their incendiary full-length releases, the trio has pursued weight with purpose, not as spectacle, nor as an exercise in excess, but as the only language broad enough to hold the emotional reach and sonic heft of their sound.

The music arrives in a way that writes itself with no distance between the words and the sound; they rise from the same cursed ground, and that honesty has become the band's defining force.

Firebreather is a band that never postures or asks to be admired for their heaviness- and to see them live is to experience exactly why. Their weight takes on another life entirely. The band’s towering tone and consuming grit don't fill a room so much as alter it. Volume presses against the body before the first lyric lands and riffs arrive like shifting earth. The drums don't drive the songs forward; they anchor them while the line between sound and physical force begins to disappear. Years spent crossing Europe and North America have only sharpened that purpose, and a decade on with a fourth album on the way via the notorious Heavy Psych Sounds Records, Firebreather remains exactly where it belongs.

Head down. Volume up.

Thanks to the great folks over at Purple Sage PR and Heavy Psych Sounds, we're happy to premiere the new song/video for ONLY IN THE EYES OF OTHERS which is from their forthcoming new album - Blood That I Spill Turns to Fire" out October 16 on Heavy Psych Sounds 


As their epic sledgehammer riffs collide, massive grooves creep into your ears and the trio's unwavering sonic heft presses against your body before the first lyric lands, echoing like a primal call from another world. A treat for fans of High On Fire, Monolord, Conan, Mastodon!

The Lowdown

With the writing and recording of ”Blood That I Spill Turns To Fire”, the aim was to keep it raw, heavy and groovy. Expanding our musical trajectory. Adding a lil more melody to vocals as well. We recorded with Joona in Studio Underjord and we told him right away that we want to keep it raw and dirty.

For this record we brought in Tommy Hanning on drums, he was in FIREBREATHER at the time of the recording of our first album so we knew he was capable.


We were in between drummers when it was time to hit the studio for our fourth album and he was kind enough to learn the songs from his home, he lives way up north in Sweden. He flew down to jam with us for one weekend and after that we hit the studio. All in all we think we came out with a raw, heavy and to us, moving record. We hope it'll move other people too."

Review


Demonstration is the underground classic Doom/Stoner Metal album from Ladies Of Leisure. Perhaps not getting the recognition it fully deserved back in 2014 when it was released upon the world. The album is getting a long overdue 7 inch and CD physical release.


The sound is powered by Seventies Proto-Doom, Hard Rock, Proto-Metal and aggressive Stoner Rock hooks. There is a meaty sideline of Blues Rock, Psych and Fuzz Rock energy which has a great Space Rock sound that is all the range these days so this is quite forward thinking especially on tracks such as Poison, UDS 2 - Liquid Maze and Joblin’s Demise. 


Ladies Of Leisure provide filthy melodies and gritty sludgy grooves which feels like The Obsessed jamming with FU MANCHU but with a ferocious Punk Rock sound that isn’t afraid to get down and dirty when the music becomes way over distorted. The whole record feels part of the underground Stoner Rock scene that was perhaps on the rise back in 2014 and it’s a damn shame that Ladies Of Leisure never received the attention they truly deserved as this album is never afraid of its Heavy Metal heritage.


The music constantly feels over-done and quite rushed at times but that’s part of the charm with Ladies Of Leisure tapping right into their Punk Rock, Doom Metal and Stoner Rock identity with a REBELLIOUS and LONER attitude generating in some pretty intense Psychedelic instrumental passages along the way.


Demonstration is an underground classic of the Doom/Stoner Metal scene and it’s about time this album should get the love, respect and admiration it truly deserves. If you’re into the likes of The Obsessed, FU MANCHU, KYUSS and MONSTER MAGNET then you need to check out these seedy OUTLAW RIFFSTERS OF THE NIGHT. 


As this album is an undiscovered gem!!!.


Words by Steve Howe


Demonstration is available to buy now on CD/DD/Vinyl via Master Kontrol Audio.

Doom Metal Trio WITCHORIOUS to ink a deal with French record label Mrs Red Sound (Mars Red Sky, Red Sun Atacama)

Photo credit: Lucie Gaget

France's rising doom phenomenon WITCHORIOUS step up and sign to heavy psych / doom record label MRS RED SOUND (Mars Red Sky, Witchfinder, Wormsand, Greyborn...) for the release of new material which they are still working on. Fresh sound should arrives quickly, let's stay tuned.

WITCHORIOUS craft hypnotic, possessed stoner rock: devastating rhythm section, aggressive guitars, combined with Antoine and Lucie’s incantations, chanted in a psalmody style or howled like cries of desperate witches. With the successful release of their self-titled debut album, they gained genuine recognition within the heavy doom scene. From Hellfest to Deserfest, their trademark sounding has built up a true and loyal following. The Doom Charts say about them: "here’s another French band who raised the stoner scene to a higher level!"

About their signing to Mrs Red Sound, the band comment:

"We are thrilled and incredibly proud to announce our signing to Mrs Red Sound Records, a label that passionately champions the stoner/doom scene. It is a real pleasure for Witchorious to embark on this adventure with them, alongside bands such as Mars Red Sky, Witchfinder and Wormsand. We thank them for their trust and can’t wait to share what’s next with you – a world of darkness, gritty riffs and incantations. The ritual has only just begun."
­

Hailing from Paris, France, doom metal trio WITCHORIOUS was created in the late 2019 by Lucie Gaget (bass, vocals), Paul Gaget (drums) and Antoine Auclair (guitar, vocals). The foundations are laid: a blend of modern doom and vintage fuzz, Black Sabbath’s blues roots combined with Electric Wizard’s creeper riffs and Amenra’s raw, blood-curdling screaming.

In 2023, the band enter the studio under the direction of Francis Caste at Sainte-Marthe Studio (Hangman’s Chair, Aqme, Rise of the Northstar...) to record their eponymous debut album on February 16th via the Italian label Argonauta Records. The album explores the duality of human nature and the inevitable fate of our planet, with the Witch always at its heart – an indomitable yet oppressed figure, a passionate voice for the wounds of our time.

WITCHORIOUS are playing more and more gigs, appearing as support acts for Bongzilla, Mars Red Sky, Hippie Death Cult and many more. Also performing reference festivals like Westill, Hellfest or DesertFest, both across France and Europe. Their shows are spellbinding, proving that the magic has only just begun.

In 2026, WITCHORIOUS ink a deal with French booking agency 3C and a few months later, with Mrs Red Sound Records. They are currently working on new material.
