Psych Stoner Rockers MISTER EARTHBOUND Release New EP MABON Today

Richmond, Virginia based swamp rockers Mister Earthbound have announced their new EP, »Mabon«, scheduled for release on September 22nd, 2026 as the third part of their seasonal »Endless Man« series.

Tracklist:

01. The Fire That Knows Your Name
02. Decay In Bloom
03. Gone

The Lowdown

Following their release of »Litha«, Mister Earthbound present their newest 3-song seasonal release, »Mabon«. Featuring gloomy instrumentation, melancholic harmonies, and driving percussion, »Mabon« is a heavy, bluesy, psychedelic exploration of the autumnal. For fans of Danzig, QOTSA, Alice In Chains.

With the lush, warm sounds of »Ostara« (Spring) and firey blues of »Litha« (Summer) behind them, Mister Earthbound slow things down to a sinister, smoldering burn on »Mabon«.

»Mabon« is the third in an ambitious new series of EPs in 2026. Each is set to launch on a seasonal solstice or equinox, with the bound collection being released as Mister Earthbound’s sophomore full-length, »Endless Man«.

You can listen to the new EP - Mabon - in full below:

The brainchild of guitarist Walter Gray, Mister Earthbound originally emerged after its founder returned to his hometown of Richmond, Virginia in 2016 armed with a pocket full of riffs and a drive to hit the road with a new project. Named as a homage to Napoleon Hill’s book »Outwit The Devil«, the quartet rapidly established themselves in their region and beyond as pioneers of a new breed of swamp rock, and have been captivating a diverse and growing fanbase ever since.

Building on the foundations laid by influences from the trippy tones of the 13th Floor Elevators and the raucous early days of Pentagram to the eerie blues of Robert Johnson with a psychedelic, doom-tinged approach, Mister Earthbound’s signature blend of searing riffs, haunting vocals, and driving rhythms transports audiences to the depths of the swamp both through their studio recordings and their electric live shows alongside sonic titans like Dead Meadow, Kadavar, Weedeater, YOB, and Black Mountain.

With a host of achievements already under their belt, including the release of their debut record »Shadow Work« via Kozmik Artifactz and a feature in Embassy Skateboards’ »Winter Warriors«, Mister Earthbound’s momentum is at an all-time high as they dive into their biggest undertaking yet with the »Endless Man« series of EPs.

Review

Ostara is the latest EP from Psychedelic Stoner Rockers Mister Earthbound who bring a classic Swamp Rock atmosphere to their overall sound. There’s traces of Occult Rock imagery that draws them closer to the likes of Uncle Acid but they have classic sounding Blues Rock and Stoner Rock swagger where you can easily draw comparisons to the likes of All Them Witches. There’s quite a mystical element to Mister Earthbound with their Classic Rock energy which is mostly emitting from lead vocalist Jason Kusterer who also handles bass duties.

The EP only lasts around thirteen minutes across three superb individual tracks which has a haunting slow paced energy which brings a certain Doom Rock vibe as the EP progresses throughout. You can even detect a little QOTSA flavour within the tracks of Even Me Out and Only Son. This is quite a highly involving and hard rocking affair when Mister Earthbound fully explores their dominant Swamp Rock groove. The band have already performed alongside heavy hitters such as Weedeater, Kadavar, YOB, and Dead Meadow which shows they guys are the real deal which they fully explored within their excellent previous albums.

Whilst perhaps not as heavy or as outlandish as those releases but it’s great to see the band trying new creative pastures whilst playing their own definitive style of Doom, Stoner, Blues and Psych which is all held together by a sublime Southern Rock/Swamp Rock attitude.

Ostara is a great EP which may indicate the musical direction that Mister Earthbound are heading in with their next full length album. Until then, Ostara will keep their dedicated fanbase very happy indeed.

Great stuff. End Of.

Words by Steve Howe
