SIXYEARHEX - Original Sin (Single Review)

Release Date: March 10th 2026. Record Label: Self Released. Formats: DD

Original Sin - Tracklisting

Original Sin

Review

Doom/Stoner Rockers SIXYEARHEX latest single Original Sin is the first peek at the duo’s groove laden and stylish sound from their upcoming new album. The song is thoroughly modern with elements of Sludge Rock and NOLA vibes appearing from the very start. SIXYEARHEX adds a cool Alt Metal sound which allows the vocals to be quite aggressive along the way. The music is played at a delicate slow-to-mid pace which allows the Psychedelic, Noise Rock and Doom Metal aspects to fully take charge. 

SIXYEARHEX have developed a more melodic style of music compared to their last release which has a certain Post-Stoner atmosphere merging from the shadows. Throw in some great dual vocals from the members of SIXYEARHEX and they start channelling bands such as FLOOR, TORCHE and MASTODON but still doing in their own great style. 

With a classic Progressive Metal energy appearing and holding everything together, SIXYEARHEX have delivered a truly superb track that makes me quite excited to hear their upcoming album. As if the songs are good as Original Sin then we’re going to be treated to something special indeed.

Review

Doom/Stoner Metallers Eternal Dialtone is the new project featuring Dust Moth, Giza, X Suns, Witchrat, Bering Sea, and Maxx Shredroom. I’ll let the band describe what they have in store with their self-titled debut EP.

“Eternal Dialtone was created in 2024 by current and former members of Dust Moth, Giza, X Suns, Witchrat, Bering Sea, and Maxx Shredroom. A sonic departure from the group's previous bands, Eternal Dialtone's sound draws from a wide range of underground music, surrounded by amplifiers set to 11.” 

Eternal Dialtone debut EP is purely instrumental which sees the band focusing upon a stripped back style of Doom, Psych, Space Rock and Stoner Metal. The record is quite raw but very intense and highly melodic with the band inspired by the likes of KARMA TO BURN, EARTHLESS, FU MANCHU and BIG BUSINESS. The record is spread across three tracks that lasts around thirteen minutes in total. The guitars played by Rich have a very sludgy aesthetic which is off-set by the classic Doom/Stoner Metal sounds played by Steve (Bass) and Burke (Drums) who keep everything grounded.

The tracks all have a similar creative theme to each other with Eternal Dialtone playing a great stop/start formation to their music. The listeners are propelled into the great Psychedelic and Spaced Out sound that dominates the whole musical landscape especially within the standout track of Song 2. Eternal Dialtone demonstrates a great style of Blues based COSMIC DOOM into their music with some flashy progressive sounds giving the EP a solid gritty feel.

Behind the scenes, Eternal Dialtone have worked with some great folks to help make this record with the EP being engineered by Nicholas Wilbur at the Unknown in Anacortes. The EP has been mixed by Matt Bayles at the Red Room in Seattle and mastered by Ed Brooks at Resonant Mastering. Then you have the killer artwork provided by the one and only Steven Yoyada

The final track of Song 3 allows Eternal Dialtone to play a more sombre Post-Rock and Post-Stoner kind of energy which soon transforms into some freakish Progressive Sludge Rock soundscapes that I would love to hear more of on future releases.For a debut EP, Eternal Dialtone have delivered a highly promising EP that shows a lot of great original sounds which perhaps could be expanded upon further on a much longer record. Though, until then, Eternal Dialtone’s debut EP is a winning record on all levels.

Excellent and Highly Recommended.

Eternal Dialtone debut EP will be available to buy from all good Digital Stockists from March 27th 2026.

Clouds Taste Satanic - Berlin 2023 (Album Review)

Release Date: March 06th 2026. Record Label: Kinda Like Music. Formats: CD/DD/Vinyl

Berlin 2023 - Tracklisting

1.Second Sight 21:05

2.Sun Death Ritual (Parts I-III) 10:39

3.Spirits of the Green Desert (Part IV) 04:15

4.Beast From the Sea 05:14

Review

Instrumental Doom/Psych/Stoner Metallers Clouds Taste Satanic offer a new “LIVE” record with Berlin 2023, though this time round this performance was captured live in a studio performance which the PR blurb below provides all of the necessary info:

“Recorded at Big Snuff Studios in Berlin in May 2023, the album is a no-overdub, live-in-the-room document of the band’s European tour setlist from that year, capturing their sound at its most raw, direct, and immediate.”

The whole performance is undeniably raw and is perhaps the closest you’ll likely experience hearing Clouds Taste Satanic on the live stage. The band is super focused performing four classic tracks sourced over the last eleven years or so of their legendary back catalogue. Clouds Taste Satanic put in a very committed performance which can be quite frightening at times especially when they start adding gloomy sound effects that offer a real APOCALYPTIC vibe into the whole performance and that’s only within the first five minutes of the stunning opening track Second Sight. 

With there being no overdubs being used for this performance, the whole sound is very stripped back and quite solitary which allows the listener to become fully immersed with the whole record. The band feel like their channelling fellow instrumental heavyweights PELICAN, EARTH, BONGRIPPER, KARMA TO BURN and OM whilst keeping their own original sound highly intact.

The music can be quite slow-paced and highly methodical at times especially within Second Sight and Sun Death Ritual where they feel quite different to their studio counterparts whilst keeping a similar sound at the same time. Clouds Taste Satanic try changing certain themes and technical aspects of each track which adds a new sense of creative freedom with this musical performance which takes you ever so closely to achieving the legendary mindset of “INTER-DIMENSIONAL SPACE GOAT”.  

Berlin 2023 does see Clouds Taste Satanic show once again why they’re one of the best storytellers within the whole Doom/Stoner Metal scene where they weave COSMIC energy into a transcendent and meditative style of music that very few bands can achieve such as YOB. You feel this COSMIC energy throughout the whole album which mostly comes through within Second Sight and Sun Death Ritual (Parts I-III).

The final two tracks Spirits of the Green Desert (Part IV) and Beast From the Sea allows the band to concentrate on playing compact grooves and a more straightforward style of riff-centric songs. Though, they are in full-on deconstruction mode with some sections broken down into distorted passages and violent psychedelic soundscapes that leave you questioning what is real. However, along the way they will still show you how the band are great at combining Doom, Stoner, Sludge, Psych and Post-Rock with a highly articulate style of free-form melodies being used at the same time. 

Clouds Taste Satanic have nothing left to prove but continue to explore different musical ideas that most bands dare come up with even with tracks that fans already know, love and admire. Berlin 2023 is another classic “LIVE ALBUM” from Clouds Taste Satanic which proves once again why they’re considered “LEGENDS” and “HEROES” to so many within the Doom/Stoner Metal scene.

Berlin 2023 is available to buy now on CD/DD/Vinyl.

Progressive Stoner Metallers Pharm to Unleash Blistering New Single, "Crackhead Arachnid," on March 31st

KELOWNA, BC –– The three mystical scientifical mad lads are back at it again!

Pharm, the mongers of mind melting prog infused stoner metal, have announced the release of the first single, "Crackhead Arachnid", off their highly anticipated second album. The track is clambering out and busting speakers on March 31st, 2026

Infamous for their twisting riffs, psychedelic time changes, and unhinged drum work, Pharm returns from the road, bringing their wild flair into the studio for their most blistering work yet. "Crackhead Arachnid" promises to be an absolutely filthy addition to their catalogue, offering fans a bone-jarring blend of relentless drumming, precision riffery, sci-fi theremin, and menacing keyboard and guitar work that conjures the specter of ritualistic doom.

The single was recorded deep in the heart of the Okanagan at Archouse Studios, capturing a raw, uncompromising energy that has become the band's signature. It is a sonic journey that will appeal to fans of Black Sabbath, Rush and Mastodon.

Accompanying the track is their crazy guerilla style video which blends live footage, signature greasiness and the phellas' unmistakable energy.

"Crackhead Arachid" will be available for streaming on all major streaming platforms on March 31st, 2026. The video will be released the same day.

About Pharm:

Pharm was forged in the early days of 2019. Their debut album "Vortex" took the fellas on a 52-day tour in the summer of 2023. The 3 fellas’ whacky antics on and off the stage precedes their reputation for their delicious musical blend of proggy rock and stoner metal. 2023 saw the release of their critically acclaimed, raucous EP, “The Tower”.

Since then, they've been featured at Massif Festival, Loud As Hell, Mosh the Rock, Pharmphest, Psychfest,Electric Highway Festival, Wacken Metal Battle, Armstrong Metal Fest and Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Album number 2 is far underway and will bring old and new fans alike into an uncharted and nutty territory.  

They're coming to make heads bang and change up the timing faster than Einstein's microwave!

Review

FANGUS debut album Emerald Dream is an intoxicating mix of Psych, Acid Rock, Doom Rock, Proto-Metal, Occult Rock, Blues Rock and Stoner Rock. The album is quite wild and wickedly vivid with how FANGUS blend different genre conventions with an outlandish premise that pushes the boundaries of Heavy Psychedelic music.

The music is mostly sourced from the legendary sounds of the Sixties and Seventies scenes with the band never venturing into modern day themes. This makes the album quite a cool sounding and hip leaning slice of RETRO ROCK with a great attitude to match.

The record starts off spectacularly heavy and fast paced through the opening tracks of Howling Hammer, Pyre Of Love and Psychoïd Telepath which relies quite heavily on the extraordinary talents of Chub who provides an amazing array of Synths, Organs and sublime backing vocals along the way. His performance was what instantly drew me in at first though the rest of the band are amazing musicians as well with all them putting in first rate performances. Though, it took me a few listens to actually listen to each individual performance on certain sections of the album.

The lead vocals from Jim Laflamme feels like he was brought up on a steady diet of The Doors, Black Sabbath, Led Zepp, Alice Cooper, MC5 and The Who with his vocals having a slightly grizzled Classic Rock and Heavy Rock feel. The album does lean into early Seventies Proto-Doom metal records with a sudden outburst of Heavy Psych and Garage Rock making the album sound quite heavier and vindictive at times. The Occult Doom themes become the most interesting aspect on the later stages with FANGUS feel like they’re developing a soundtrack for a lost classic horror movie that’s being discovered for the very first time.

Everything is bloody OVER THE TOP and insanely dramatic but you can’t deny how beautifully melodic and insanely addictive the album is at the same time. The record moves to more demented areas of Occult Rock with some amazing FREAK-OUT instrumental passages courtesy of some wonderful guitars laid down by Alex Brigas. 

There’s also a slightly Ritual and Tribal aspect to Emerald Dreams that starts to break through on tracks such as Quest For Fire, Emerald Dreams, Shapeshifter and Stardust Regulator where the album does have a minor Space Rock aspect starting to form which allows the album to become ever more unpredictable.

The production values are outstanding which allows FANGUS to transport not only themselves but also the listener to another forbidden dimension told through the power of music.

Emerald Dreams doesn’t feel like a debut album. This feels like a greatest hits collection with FANGUS providing their best musical output for a new legion of followers to discover for the very first time in the present day. That’s the best way I can describe Emerald Dreams and I’m have no doubt that FANGUS will start to build quite a loyal cult following within the underground scene thanks to this superb album.

Stoner/Sludge Trio STALEMATE OF WILLS Announce Debut Album - Existence Denied

Pittsburgh-based three-piece wrecking ball STALEMATE OF WILLS is set to drop their debut full-length album, Existence Denied.

Following a string of singles, STALEMATE OF WILLS is ready to unleash an 8-track rager that embodies the American rust belt blight that surrounds them. True to the band's mantra of "heavy riffs for a withering world," Existence Denied is an amalgamation of doom metal, hardcore, New Orleans-style sludge metal, with flourishes of traditional 90s death metal.

Listeners can expect down-tuned, groove inflicted "meat and potatoes" riffing and drumming, that easily pivots into creepier and mellower territory. Lyrically, STALEMATE OF WILLS concentrates on the endless frustrations created by the hopelessness experienced throughout life, and the inability to change it but still survive.

Check out the album's first single, "Two Worlds" at below:

FFTC Records will release Existence Denied on April 26.

Tracklist:

1) Visibility
2) Maximum Amounts of Woe
3) Existence Denied
4) Two Worlds
5) Let It Be Known
6) High Above
7) Unusual Character Profile
8) Light the Way

Stream more from STALEMATE OF WILLS on Bandcamp and Spotify.

Bio:

STALEMATE OF WILLS was formed in 2023 by guitarist/ vocalist Derek Kovacs as a one man studio project releasing the singles "Corrode" followed then by "Subside", but it soon became clear that Stalemate of Wills needed to become a full band. Not long after, scene veterans Jake Morris (Bass) and Bob McSherry (drums) were quickly recruited to fill the voids. STALEMATE OF WILLS embraces an ethos of self-reliance, releasing and recording their own music and began working on an 8-song full length entitled Existence Denied, to be released in Spring of 2026 on FFTC Records, an independent label run by Kovacs.

STALEMATE OF WILLS is:

Derek Kovcas - guitar / vocals
Jake Morris - bass
Bob McSherry - drums
