Review

Adrift is the latest EP from Psych/Doom/Stoner Rockers Florist which shows the band have a deep and meaningful spiritual side showing within this record. Offset this with a daring Cosmic drift and passages of classic Desert Rock energy then Florist creates a sublime take on the Space Rock sound. The record does take time for the massive sounds to appear with Florist creating and playing subversive Trippy Eastern melodies played against a sudden shift into Sludge Rock dynamics within the excellent instrumental opening track of 432Hz.

The track is mostly Ambient based but the final outburst of heavy Post-Doom passages superbly leads the EP into the next exciting chapter that Florist carefully constructs with echoes of bands such as Domkraft, King Buffalo, ELDER and HOWLING GIANT. Second track Another Moon captures similar sounds of those great bands with Florist adding a definitive gritty Hard Rock edge with the killer STADIUM ROCK based vocals telling a focused and quality based narrative being shown within the lyrics. The added trippy sound effects told through the use of multiple different instruments is one of the main highlights here.

Florist continue with their superbly entertaining, thrilling and down-right heavy musical adventure with Psych Rock soundscapes being created further with that focused Cosmic/Space Rock score that allows the record to become more aggressive and melodic developing on tracks such as Out Of Space, Grow and the stunning two part track of Adrift (Part A) and Adrift (Part B). 

The final two tracks for Adrift (Part A) and Adrift (Part B) are easily the standout tracks and most technically accomplished of all the tracks contained here. As they have a cool Progressive theme appearing at the best possible moment which allows Florist to develop a more daring and deeply engaging sound with the heaviest parts appearing here. Though, the fifth track Grow isn’t too far behind either with Florist playing a seedy, murky and fuzz-heavy sound that shows a deep reliance of AMPLIFIER and RIFF DISTORTION feedback that is superbly matched against the far out COSMIC energy that shows Florist are highly confident at.

Adrift is another great slice of modern day Psych Stoner Rock/Metal with flashes of Sludge, Doom, Prog and that SPACE ROCK goodness that leaves you wanting more. 

Excellent and Highly Recommended.

Review

Asura Airavata is the new collaborative effort from underground sonic maestros Mitsuru Tabata, Mike Vest and Nick Raybould which takes another fearless approach into the realm of Psych Rock, Noise. Fuzz, Garage and Extra Dimensional SONIC passages. There’s an expressive Heavy Psychedelic sound that merges a Punk Rock aesthetic into the creative fabric of free-forming Japanese Psychedelic music, dominant guitars and world destroying synths.

Mike Vest on Bass and Guitars adds the grounded sense of heavy realism with a dynamite performance which echoes Sixties and Seventies Classic Heavy Rock aggression. Nick Raybould’s aggressive and jazzy based drumming is the glue that holds everything together allowing Mike and Mitsuru to go off into multiple creative directions to do their thing.

Even with the crazed Space Rock sounds, Asura Airavata is a grounded record with the overlapping dimensions of Space Rock slowly weaving into real life throughout the excellent opening tracks of Acquisitions, Remover Of Obstacles and Destructional Wisdom. The band injects a surreal blend of different vocals and glitchy Electronic noises at times though within its purest and experimental form. 

The album really comes alive when they play a straightforward style of music that pays homage to the likes of CAN, Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Jimi Hendrix, Monster Magnet, Acid Mothers Temple and Mainliner whilst still developing their own impressive sound. There is a sense of frenzied urgency with this musical project compared to the other bands that Mitsuru, Mike and Nick have been part of over the years. 

All three worked together previously on Artifacts & Uranium with Mitsuru Tabata. (2023 Album - Phase IV). Mitsuru and Mike have also worked together previously on MODOKI whilst Mike and Nick have worked together previously on Pascere Lamia. 

The music can be extremely challenging and dreamlike within the more quieter melodies and Post-Rock interludes that appear along the way. It’s quite a departure into Jazz and Krautrock surroundings on the second half of the record appearing within the subtle fourth track Galacta that does feel out of place compared to the frenzied and heavier offerings of the record. Though, I admire the subtle change of pace that appears within this track.

Once again, Monster Magnet legend John McBain helps out on mastering duties for the vinyl release with Mike Vest arranging and mixing the whole album. Asura Airavata is one of the loudest, abrasive and catchiest slices of Psych Rock that I’ve heard this year with Mitsuru Tabata, Mike Vest and Nick Raybould forming a highly formidable unit which should keep their established fan base superbly entertained for a long time to come.

Psych Stoner Rock Collective BASK Release Cosmic Cover of The Brian Jonestown Massacre Classic Track Anemone

After a smoking hot tour with their labelmates and fellow North Carolinians Weedeater, Bask are now ready to turn over a different kind of leaf. The Asheville natives will release their fourth album later this year. But first, the band are looking back at one of their influences.

"We've always been inspired by acts like The Brian Jonestown Massacre", says guitarist and vocalist Zeb Wright. "They write songs that feel outside of time and place".

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the documentary that thrust The Brian Jonestown Massacre into the spotlight, today, Bask are releasing a cover of "Anemone". The road to get to this point has been much smoother than it was for the shaggy San Franciscan collective, but the heavy dose of Americana that the band bring to this cult classic shows how far they've come.

Even though they're separated across coastlines and nearly three decades, Bask and The Brian Jonestown Massacre were in a similar headspace heading into their fourth albums. While partially named after the Rolling Stones' guitarist, BJM shifted from spaced-out shoegaze to flower-powered '60s psychedelia on 1996's Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request. Bask's upcoming full-length also ventures into headier pastures, though their cover of that album's sleeper hit "Anemone" is plucked straight from the band's Appalachian roots.

"You should be picking me up / Instead you're dragging me down", Wright repeats in a dazed drawl while twanging on his banjo.

Bask haven't endured nearly the same amount of lineup turnover as their kindred spirits in The Brian Jonestown Massacre. On "Anemone", Drummer Scott Middleton and bassist Jesse Van Note hold down a bottomless groove that's as sludgy and free-flowing as a riverbed. But this cover is the first release since Jed Willis joined as the band's official fifth member. As his pedal steel ripples against Ray Worth's colorfully swirling leads, the band take cosmic country into a whole new dimension.

"'Anemone' is hypnotic in its repetition and perfectly expresses the combination of emotional distress and unbothered cool that to us feels so integral to BJM's sound and songwriting", Bask says. "It's also really fun to play and riff on".

More praise for Bask:

"I've heard the components of Bask's music before: Baroness, U.S. Christmas, Bruce Springsteen, Crazy Horse, Across Tundras and so forth. But I've never heard them together as one unit. If someone were to ask me if it were possible to be heavy without being brutal, I'd refer them to Bask" - Invisible Oranges.

"Such a knack for expressive music is Bask's bread and butter" - Angry Metal Guy

"This is the kind of band you want to see grow. Join the party now" - Heavy Blog is Heavy

"The entire thing rocks your socks off with gripping guitar riffing" - Metal Bite

"... a remarkable demonstration of melodic genius created by a shrewd horde of big-footed giants...behold and bear witness to legends among villagers!" - Outlaws of the Sun

"...undeniably both infection and innovative" - Metal Storm

Jesse Van Note – Bass
Scott Middleton – Drums
Ray Worth – Guitar

From The Ages - III (EP Review)

Review

Instrumental Psych/Stoner Rock unit From The Ages offer their third record imaginatively titled “III” and it’s a stunning two track EP lasting around thirty two minutes in length across two tracks called Lucid and Bardo. The EP is a sprawling and progressive mix of Psych, Stoner, Prog, Doom and other Cosmic based themes with a free-flowing and jazz-based narrative which has different time signatures that can be freakishly surreal which comes into full focus on the excellent opening track Lucid.

From The Ages seem to have gone under a creative metamorphosis for this record with “III” being quite drone based and more metallic energy compared to their previous two records. There’s a deft touch of amplified heaviness and freakish sludgy attitudes forming at the main crux of the opening track Lucid which is explored further with heavier Progressive dynamics on the final track of Bardo.

Bardo has a certain ethereal sound with distorted time loops and fractured grovoes which allows the “JAZZ” element of From The Ages music to solidify itself into heavier Doom Metal surroundings. The drumming from Dave provides the heartbeat for the band to generate their heavy sounds with tribal bass lines from Greg and Paul’s cosmic guitar holds everything together. The sound is quite FUZZ based for the majority of the track with a superb Post-Rock influence coming into play.

III is quite a powerful and highly melodic release with From The Ages allowing their music to grow at a natural pace which results into some outstanding instrumental passages that sees the overall effect of the EP moving further to the Post-Doom and Post-Stoner scene before the time is out.

From The Ages have released another superbly entertaining record which should hopefully give them further exposure within the underground Psych/Stoner Rock scene.

Excellent and Highly Recommended.

UK Heavy Psych Trio RITUAL KING shares two new videos off "The Futureworks Sessions" live album; out April 4th on Ripple Music

Manchester's heavy psych torchbearers RITUAL KING present two new live videos taken from their upcoming "The Futureworks Sessions" live album, to be issued out on April 4th in collaboration with Ripple Music.

About "Worlds Divide", the band says: "This one’s got some serious weight to it. The riffs are thick and the drums are pounding from the off and the whole thing feels like a storm rolling in. There's a mostly improvised solo in the middle here that was fueled by approximately three hours of sleep and an ill-advised amount of coffee, so if it sounds a little unhinged—that’s why."

On "No Compromise", they add: "True to its name, this slightly jazzy number doesn't let up from the first hit to the last note. Keep an ear out for the drum fills in the middle section—punchy yet just loose enough to keep us on our toes."

Watch Ritual King perform "Worlds Divide" and "No Compromise" (live at Futureworks)

This electrifying new collection entitled "The Futureworks Sessions" captures the raw energy and dynamic sound that have made the Manchester-based trio renowned within the modern stoner rock scene. Recorded at Futureworks Studios in Manchester, the album showcases a selection of standout tracks from their first two full-length albums, reimagined and brought to life in a live studio setting. "The Futureworks Sessions" is a celebration of Ritual King’s musical journey and marks five years since the release of their self-titled debut album. Blending their signature blend of heavy riffs, soulful melodies, and intricate grooves. The intimate yet powerful recording setting of Futureworks Studios adds an organic depth and authenticity, transporting listeners straight into the room with the band.

With Ripple Music’s unwavering commitment to showcasing the finest in heavy and progressive rock, this release is a testament to Ritual King’s relentless passion and artistry. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the band, "The Futureworks Sessions" offers an unmissable opportunity to experience the magic of Ritual King at their most inspired.

RITUAL KING "The Futureworks Sessions" Out April 4th, 2025 on Ripple Music (digital only)

TRACKLIST:

1. Flow State
2. Worlds Divide
3. No Compromise
4. Landmass
5. Headspace
6. The Infinite Mirror
7. Valleys

Ritual King emerged from Manchester’s underground metal scene in 2016, driven by a shared passion for crafting a sound that defied easy categorisation. Drawing from classic hard rock, progressive psych, folk, and the gritty underpinnings of stoner rock, they forged a style that is both immersive and electrifying—equal parts meditative and mosh-worthy.

Renowned for their dynamic live performances, Ritual King has been relentlessly touring the UK and Europe since 2017, sharing stages with bands like Weedpecker, Atomic Bitchwax, Nebula, and Colour Haze. Their high-energy shows and electrifying musicianship have earned them a reputation as a must-see live act, with standout performances at festivals such as Freak Valley Festival in Germany.

2024 saw them expand their touring footprint even further, hitting the road with 1000Mods across the UK in April, supporting The Obsessed on another UK run in August, and embarking on a European tour with Scorpion Child in October. Their latest album, The Infinite Mirror, released in November 2023, marks a bold new chapter in their sonic evolution. Blending intricate songwriting with expansive atmospheres and raw intensity, the record showcases Ritual King at their most dynamic and forward-thinking yet.

From the raw and visceral Earthrise EP (2018) to the riff-heavy explorations of their 2020 self-titled debut, and now the immersive landscapes of The Infinite Mirror, Ritual King continues to push their sound in new directions. Each release is an invitation into their world—one where musical conventions are challenged, and listeners are encouraged to lose themselves in the vastness of their sonic vision.

Veuve - Pole (Album Review)

Release Date: November 15th 2024. Record Label: Go Down Records. Formats: CD/DD/Vinyl

Pole - Track Listing:

1.Land Of Denial 07:30

2.The Thaw 06:26

3.Quest For Fire 11:43

4.Inner Desert 11:44

5.The Sudden Light 11:59

6.Thrive On Empty Temples 08:11

Review

Pole is the exciting third album from Psych Stoner Rockers Veuve where they add a bold and adventurous spirit into their music compared to their previous albums. The sound is quite cosmic based but also offers a grounded sense of reality within the warm hearted vocals and hard rocking lyrics. Veuve plays with  a subtle heavy Psychedelic narrative appearing with plenty of FUZZ ROCK surroundings especially within the opening tracks of Land Of Denial and The Thaw. With a reliance on bass heavy musical structures and sludgy maneuvers that bring in aggressive style of Psych Doom to the masses.

The album has a similar style of music played by the likes of King Buffalo, All Them Witches, Weedpecker and Elder but keeping within their Italian Psych Rock heritage that allows the band the perfect opportunity to build heavier musical surroundings that become quite progressivr along the way. The album is inspired by Fantasy, Horror and Science Fiction throughout the album where the listener can easily tell which TV or Film property inspired certain sections of the album.

Veuve employ a 1970’s Prog Rock and Hard Rock structure on the less abrasive and quieter parts of the album whilst leaving the modern day Sludge/Stoner aspects building up a catchy and aggressive rhythm especially with the haunting synths and psychedelic soundscapes that are the best parts of the whole album.

The clean sounding vocals are another highlight to the album which allows the listener to focus solely on the story without any harsh vocals or growls disrupting the cinematic flow. The majority of the tracks are on the long side ranging from six minutes to eleven minutes in length.  Veuve go all out on Pole with long drawn out instrumental grooves and ambient textures that can be ice-cold to hear at times especially on tracks such as Quest For Fire, Inner Desert and The Sudden Light which is perhaps the standout section of the whole album.

Veuve play the heaviest sounds on these tracks alone with a Sludge Rock/Metal appetite merging with the classic sounds of 1970’s Prog Rock and Hard Rock with a sense of 1990’s based Grunge and Alt-Rock. The 1970’s musical melodies are beautifully poetic with a deft Blues Rock touch that was quite an unexpected surprise that gives the album a sense of real human worth. Though, Veuve are not afraid to transform into monolithic SLUDGE RIFF SLAYING monsters with a destructive style that feels like it came from a totally different band altogether.

Pole is an album that veers off into one hundred different directions but I mean that as a HUGE compliment as everything comes together at the right moment with Veuve delivering a non-stop array of outstanding riffs, grooves and sounds until the very end. This is a quality sounding album and one that deserves to be heard by the biggest audience possible.

Excellent and Highly Recommended.

Review

Heavy Psych/Blues/Stoner Rockers Mount Hush new album “II” is a wild vortex of different sounds which focuses purely on Blues Rock EXCESS with an aggressive Punk Rock energy which drifts towards a heavier Space Rock sound. The band reside within a surreal world of Rock & Roll with the creative energy of 1960’s and 1970’s Psych Rock being heard within the more experimental style of Stoner Rock. The album can be quite dreamlike and progressive in places with lush sounding instruments which allows Mount Hush delve into the multi-layered Hard Rock passages that can be quite FOLK LIKE with how the vocals are delivered.

The opening batch of songs All I See, Golden Sun and The Hunt have a certain sense of haziness to them with Mount Hush creating distorted FUZZ grooves and classic hard rock passages which feels very much part of the RETRO ROCK movement whilst having a thrilling modern day appeal. This is perhaps down to Mount Hush using small amounts of modern day Post-Rock and Post-Stoner themes within the instrumental parts and even better sounding SONIC interplay appearing. The vocals are varied with a clear and clever style that is influenced by the 1960’s and 1970’s Hard Rock scene. 

Mount Hush can be quite aggressive with their free flowing style of music that even has outbursts of Doom Rock and Proto-Metal sensibilities on certain parts of the album. With multi-layered and dueling guitars being one of the standout parts of the record, Mount Hush seem to operate with a JAZZ based momentum on the heavier and freakier parts of the album. Songs such as The Hunt, Blues For The Dead,  Celestial Eyes and Blood Red Sky are the standout tracks on the album with Mount Hush becoming quite FREAKY and SEEDY in places but with their powerful Psychedelic Blues Rock swagger keeping everything real and grounded.

The Space Rock themes are quite impressive but they could have been more powerful if Mount Hush used a less restrictive style of Blues Rock though the record is packed with sublime grooves throughout that it makes you forget all about that aspect that does leave you wanting to hear more.

“II” is an outstanding slice of Heavy Psychedelic Blues Rock that should give the listener a warm feeling even with the upcoming cold winter season slowly drawing upon us. Mount Hush have easily avoided the dreaded sophomore slump with ‘II”. As this is first class entertainment from start to finish.

Review

Psych/Doom/Stoner Rockers Deer Lord new album Dark Matter Pt. 2 continues exploring the heavy cosmic themes the band set out within the acclaimed Part One. This time round Deer Lord play a fuzzier, progressive and stylish mix of Post-Stoner creative attitudes whilst matching the vibrant 1990’s classic sound heard within Part One. The sound still retains that fresh Cosmic/Space Rock sound whilst having a grounded reality within the lyrics and lead vocalist Sheafer McOmber’s distinctive vocals. 

The music takes a more Sludgier direction within the heaviest parts of the opening track of Dark Matter with echoes of King Buffalo, FU MANCHU, LOWRIDER and Monster Magnet starting to emerge but with Deer Lord keeping their own dynamic take of underground Doom/Stoner Rock. Echoes of solitary Space Rock and classic Desert Rock waves allows the listener to become directly part of the action especially within the FUZZ ROCK sounds being played from the ground up of soulful psychedelic interludes.

The next two tracks of Faster and Dogma leave the Progressive energy of the previous track with a Cosmic Boogie Rock style that reminds me of CLUTCH and GEEZER in places. The instrumental passages have a playful flow to them with an aggressive FUZZIER attitude matching the streetwise lyrics written for these two tracks that are perhaps the riffiest and catchiest parts of the album. 

Dark Matter Pt. 2 becomes more “GROOVE” orientated as time passes by especially within tracks such as Intelligent Life, Blade and Pay with Deer Lord delivering a stylish slice of modern day Psych Doom/Stoner Rock which also sees the band taking more outlandish risks with their music. The other standout tracks include Intelligent Life and Blade which shows a slightly more aggressive side to Deer Lord without them compromising their highly addictive blend of COSMIC GROOVES that are THICK, HEAVY and BUILT TO LAST throughout the whole album.

Dark Matter Pt. 2 is another superbly entertaining album from DEER LORD and one that delivers the goods on all fronts. 

Excellent and Highly Recommended.

NinjaWitch - Order Of The Red Horse (Album Review)

Release Date: November 08th 2024. Record Label: Self Released. Format: DD

Order Of The Red Horse - Track Listing:

1.Come Alive

2.Tune Low Get High

3.Order of the Red Horse 

Review

Order Of The Red Horse is the debut EP from Cosmic/Doom/Stoner Metallers NinjaWitch who are from Knoxville, Tennessee. The band draws influences from bands such as Monster Magnet, SLEEP, FU MANCHU and Nebula. Their debut EP is a cosmic journey into the seedier aspects of the Spaced Out Stoner Rock scene. There’s a vintage element to NinjaWitch’s overall sound which would make Dave Wyndorf proud and this record could easily be classed as the perfect companion piece to Stoner Rocker’s VOLUME latest mini album Joy Of Navigation (a trip through the eternal unknown).

The opening track of Come Alive is over eight minutes of twisted Psychedelic and Space Rock exploration which is powered by drug fuelled vocals which have a shamanic style to them. The music seems neverending at times with NinjaWitch fully exploring that Space Rock swagger of their full on Stoner Rock vision. The movement can be twisted at times but NinjaWitch have perfectly tapped into that classic 1990’s Stoner Metal sound which becomes quite filthy and nasty at times but brilliantly majestic throughout. 

The final two tracks of Tune Low Get High and Order Of The Red Horse captures the true essence of the Stoner Rock and WEEDIAN movement with the Space Rock atmospheres increasingly becoming more reliant on the sludgy psychedelic guitars. The vocals once again rely on that SHAMANIC style we’ve heard multiple times before but they’re delivered with supreme confidence that fully sells the whole COSMIC and SPACE ROCK illusion that NinjaWitch crafts superbly well. 

Order Of The Red Horse is perhaps best described as: “The best record that Monster Magnet never released”. And I mean that as a huge compliment. NinjaWitch still add their own take on things with movements of  Distorted Paranoia and Droned Out Psychedelics taking a bigger part within their overall sound especially within Tune Low Get High.

Order Of The Red Horse allows NinjaWitch to announce their arrival to the underground scene in a big way. This EP maybe quite surreal at times but the overall effect is like coming down from a drug induced nightmarish trip and being treated to some of the best grooves you’ve heard in quite some time. 

NinjaWitch are most definitely a band to look out for in 2025 and beyond. 

Excellent and Highly Recommended.
