Italian Stoner Rockers Brut Oss announce the reissue on vinyl of the band's 2022 self-titled debut album set on 12th April via Orzorock Music.
Brut Oss says: "2023 saw a change of lineup with the rotation on the guitar between Pier Primo Zanzagni and Antonio Chirivì who is now helping the band for the promotional concerts of the album ‘Brut Oss’ to be reissued on vinyl, with the addition of two unpublished tracks: ‘Texa's Cola’ and ‘Give Me Back’."
The ‘Give Me Back’ video wants to remember the Italian Buddy-movies and be a tribute to the Po River, landscapes that inspire the band's compositions and the reconquest of the values of the small towns and the countryside.
Brut Oss is a stoner rock band, born through the mists of the Po Valley on the Emilian side, on the banks of the Po river, during the end of 2019. The nature of the river and the fog is seen as an element corresponding to the desert in the stoner imagery, helping the band to find inspiration and the right alienation for the realisation of their compositions. The members come from the local scene such as Deportivo LaBonissima, Nijls, Koen and Upstair. On 30 July 2021, their debut EP "How to Waste Your Time Broiling Bones" was released (Orzorock Music). In 2022 they released their self-titled debut album (Orzorock Music).
Risin Sabotage are set to release their new album "Macabre" June 2, 2023 via Interstellar Smoke Records.
The album was written during the time of the global pandemic and mastered during the currently ongoing war in our country, Ukraine. These events have definitely affected the sound and, as a result, the title of this album. The release features nine songs that tell nine stories. Some of them put you in the atmosphere of today’s horrors, and others help you escape them.
Kyiv based Risin Sabotage slams with heavy psych and desert rock since 2015.
In the quest for a new sound the music is giving the best of desert rock, heavy psych, stoner and doom.
Risin Sabotage's fuzzy riffs and grooves inspired by the sounds of 70's astound with the incredible energetic performance.
You can watch the new video below for Silence Queen.
Occult/Horror/Doomed Out Rockers MaMa Doom released their wonderfully entertaining current album Ash Bone Skin N Bone back in July 2021.
The band have just released a new video for one of the standout songs from the album Indigo which you can watch below.
The album is available to buy on CD/DD through BandCamp now. The Vinyl is long sold out which was released by ace record label Majestic Mountain Records.
Thanks to Vesper at Majestic Mountain Records for all of the info.
The Danish stoner rock band and three-headed fuzz monster SABOTØR will release its debut album 'SKYGGEKÆMPER' ('Shadow Giants' in Danish) on June 10th 2022 via HQ REC/Pudsige Herrer Musik Aps.
SABOTØR has something on their minds - they are on a mission to undermine the dictatorship of polished surfaces and the policies of fear and mind control.
First single 'ROBOT' was release April 15th, and the next 'RO PÅ, DANMARK!' will be out May 13th and we have the video premiere for the song below:
Debut album ‘Vol.1’ reissued on November 5th through Heavy Psych Sounds
'Vol. 1' is the legendary debut album from Swedish stoner rockers Stonewall Noise Orchestra, released via Daredevil Records in 2005 and featuring members of Demon Cleaner and Greenleaf. This is a Stoner Rock masterpiece picked with some Black Sabbath and Hawkwind fragments. If you like it heavy and straight in your face, you can't miss this one.
After more than 15 years Heavy Psych Sounds decided to give a new life to this masterpiece and repress it in completely new coloured vinyl versions.
Here’s the song « Superfortress » (and yes, it just as stomping as it reads):
S.N.O. (2005 line-up)
Lars-Inge – vocals
Snicken – guitar Jansson – guitar Jonas – bass Mr. Pillow – drums
Progressive Doom/Stoner Rockers CAVERN DEEP will be releasing their highly anticipated self-titled debut album on July 23rd 2021 through Interstellar Smoke Records.
The album is a highly atmospheric style and journey through different elements of Doom Metal and Stoner Metal that show a deep creative flair from the band that evokes memories of bands past and present but still allowing CAVERN DEEP the opportunity to show their own style of heavy music.
You can see and hear for yourself with this exclusive premiere of Waterways from their upcoming debut album.
The band said this about their new video:
"Waterways is the 4th track of our upcoming concept album, the songs synopsis is as follows:
”We lost O'Sullivan and Creedy.. Pulled under by some abominable fiend! There is no end in sight. The ever dripping sounds are amplified by the maze itself.. Miles and miles of rusty pipes and oozing sewers, like some stygian labyrinth.. I've told the men to stick to the walls, no one is henceforth allowed to break the black mirror surface..We already lost too many..”
This live recording was made at our bassist Max studio rehearsal in Umeå."

Hailing from the gothic town of Zagreb these stoned Slavic boozers play sludgy heavy metal doom with a groovy 60s vibe and a touch of thrash in the name of Old Pagan Gods of distortion and moonshine from hell.
Today, the band is sharing the music video for their single “Witchfucker” - exclusive premiere by Outlaws of the Sun.
Fans of bands such as Electric Wizard, Manilla Road, Pentagram, Orange Goblin, and Spirit Caravan will be intrigued to enter the undiscovered metal terrain that LORD DRUNKALOT is offering up.

South
African blues-rock duo The
Amblers have released the video
for Ratty Old Mo’,
the title track from their latest EP. The band aren’t keen on
delving too deep into the meaning behind their tracks as vocalist and
guitarist Justin Swart
explains, “It's so important to
us that people connect our songs to their own stories, in their own
way.” He does add, “Ratty Old Mo' in essence is the story of a
boy, who went through some stuff as a kid and as a man is realizing
that relationships are hard work.”
Shot,
directed and edited by Chase
Beynon from Capital
Collective, it was decided the
minimalistic but visually captivating style of the video suited the
band perfectly.
“Simplicity
has been and is, synonymous with The Amblers. We approached the video
for Ratty Old Mo' in just the same way. Simplicity is tough to
accomplish and requires a great amount of skill to pull off. There
isn’t much, if anything to hide behind. With Chase we managed to
translate that simplicity visually and we are excited to share it
with people.” Comments Justin.
Watch
the video for Ratty Old Mo’.
Ratty
Old Mo’ is available now on
all digital platforms including
The
Amblers are a folksy, blues rock duo hailing from the vibrant and
diverse music industry in South Africa. The two have a broad range of
both local and international musical influences from Southern Gypsy
Queen and The Black Cat Bones, to The Rolling Stones and Jack White.
Their approach to music is raw but not unpolished, lending an
authentic energy to huge drums and dirty, vintage guitar tones.
Acclaimed
drummer Jason Hinch provides an accomplished and powerful framework
for Justin Swart to deliver his raconteurish ideas of music and
lyrics to a listener. The duo has released two EP’s to date, The
Dustling Man and Ratty Old Mo’.
“The Amblers have put together an incredible EP. It speaks of talent, musical ease and damn good melodies.” TEO MAGAZINE. (AUS)
“Nowadays it’s become somewhat of a treasure hunt when it comes to finding such originality and passion, let alone consistency. It’s exactly what it comes down to in fact, and whatever you find around these routes are that of treasury as much as The Amblers are.” BLOEMFUNTOWN. (SA)
“In all, this is an impressive EP, its fresh, exciting and impassioned; I feel like they put their heart and soul into it. If you like moody, bluesy rock then this band are for you. If you like indie music, this band could also be for you. If you like GOOD music, this band is most definitely for you. I can't wait to hear more from these guys. In the meantime, this EP will become a staple in my musical diet. Thank you.” DOWN THE FRONT MEDIA (UK)
“A blues rock EP that deserves your full attention.” TEXX AND THE CITY (SA)
“The talent of two of SA’s finest musicians in Justin Swart (vocals, guitar) and Jason Hinch (drums) are brought to the fore in this short body of work that keeps you begging for more. Passion, power and personality reflect in the lyrics and musicianship and this is one of the freshest releases this year. Their combination of folk and blues go together like a fine whisky on a hot summer’s day.” POTCEFSTROOM HERALD (SA)
“Carrying a sound that leans towards the heavier side of things, fans of gritty, distorted bluesy rock a la Jack White or The Raconteurs are def. going to lap up these Johannesburg natives’ tunes. With a raw yet polished approached, the guys’ sound is simultaneously vintage and modern, and meriting further exploration.” PUREGRAINAUDIO. (CAN)
USA Psych/Doom Rockers SOLAR HOLAS release their first album in 5 years with Coiled LIght. The digital album is released today and the vinyl will be released May 10th 2019 via Cursed Tongue Records which you can pre-order here. To celebrate the digital album release you can see their epic new video for the amazing single - The Living Tide - from their epic new album.
My review stated the album was - " Coiled Light becomes more of a cinematic experience and that’s down to both the fantastic production and musicianship held on the album."
"Coiled Light has quickly become one of my favourite albums this year and I’m not afraid to admit that the album will be in my Top Five Records of this year. It’s simply that good." Coiled Light will be available to buy digitally on April 12th 2019. The Vinyl will be released via Cursed Tongue Records in May 2019.
There’s music for speakers, and then there’s music for headphones. While one propels you forward with sheer energy, the other embraces you with intimate moments. Codeia’s as he turned back towards the eye of the storm manages both the powerful and quieter moments and wrangles them into a full-body experience for its audience.In comparison to their first record “don’t be afraid”, she whispered and disappeared, the new one as he turned back towards the eye of the storm feels more focused and determined than its predecessor.

The band therefore likens their previous album to a prologue: “Our debut has introduced our characters, or influences. Now, the storyline unfolds and allows for a more complex character development.”Spherical sound patterns, hypnotic repetitions, and progressive structures set the stage for facet-like lyrics. Some things, however, shouldn’t change – the band once more has made it their mission to capture a live-feel on the album, making sure to record all guitar loops live. A vinyl-only bonus track of 22 minutes as well as two contributions by N (De-novali Records, Midira Records) lend additional richness to the production. As He Turned Back Towards The Eye Of The Storm (produced by Tobias Stieler/Kokomo) is out on April 13th, 2019 (Record Store Day) via Hand Of Doom Records. You can see the new video premiere of MEDALLION below.
FOR FANS OF: RUSSIAN CIRCLES, PINK FLOYD, PELICAN, MONO, ALCEST, PG.LOST SET AND SETTING are a young band from St. Petersburg, Florida who merge instrumental rock with a thick metallic edge and elements of drone and ambient music.The result is a captivating, wordless, genre amalgam“, Decibel raved, and Brooklyn Vegan defined their sound as "metallic chug to trippy psychedelia to soaring post-rock beauty... like Russian Circles teaming with early Pink Floyd.
Since their debut album Equanimity (2013), the quartet has been very active throughout the underground and extreme music scenes in the U.S. and Canada. In 2014, SET AND SETTING released their second album, A Vivid Memory via Prosthetic Records and continued to tour internationally and locally with bands such as Mouth of the Architect, EyeHateGod, Inter Arma,and Kayo Dot throughout 2015. 2016 brought a tough year of writing and recording while battling injuries within the band limiting live performances. In 2017, SET AND SETTING released their third full-length album, Reflectionless, and toured Europe for the first time, including an appearance at Dunk! Festival.
SET AND SETTING are now returning with their 4th album, Tabula Rasa, the band's heaviest album to date and their debut on Pelagic Records. "We purposely tried to extend the boundaries of our sound by adding more extreme metal and punk influences all while still sounding like ourselves“, guitarist Shane Handall comments. The album was recorded and mixed during 10 straight days in Miami, FL by Ryan Haft (Torche, Wrong). In October 2018, SET AND SETTING are returning to Europe as part of the PELAGIC ROADFEST, with label mates ABRAHAM and FUTURE USSES.
The band have premiered their new video for Wandering Tribulation.
SET AND SETTING have this to say about the video: "This is the second movement of a long song but felt it stood alone as its own track. Starts and ends with a Gilmour worship guitar solo, which we’ve never really done before and shows a quieter side of the album."
Release date: August 24th 2018. Label: Pelagic Records. Format: CD/DD/Vinyl

Review
High
Priestess self-titled album sees the band play a heavy blend of
Psychedelic Doom/Stoner Metal that walks a fine line between classic
sounding Doom Rock and modern sounding Psychedelic Riffs. With razor
sharp production, High Priestess impress from the very start with
haunting melodies. The album is very progressive in places with the
band creating songs running from six, eight and ten minutes in
length.
Opening
track - Firefly - sees High Priestess opt for dark progressive doom
and gloom style of music. The psychedelic elements are slowly added
with the heavy Stoner Metal vibes appearing with the vocals making a
welcome appearance. The whole flow of the album is addictive and
flows with absolute confidence. Maybe a little bit too much at times.
High Priestess never outstays their welcome as the heavy progressive
sounds will keep you entertained from the start. There is a twinge of
Blues Rock contained on the album and is perhaps best encountered
from the gloomy and wonderful lyrics the band have written for the
album. Firefly is without question the standout track on the album.
Though
the other tracks held on the album are just as good with Despise,
Banshee and Earth Dive being the main ones to fully experience. The
vocals on Despise and Banshee took some time for me to get used to.
The clean vocals are superb though the higher pitched growls that
appear almost throw the song off course but they soon won me around
after a couple of more listens of actual song itself. High Priestess
are not your normal Psychedelic Doom/Stoner Metal band as they like
to experiment with their music and perhaps even play on the listeners
expectations of what a Doom/Stoner Metal band should actually be.
The
main strength of the album for me is the bass playing of Mariana.
Mariana provides a heavy and thunderous backdrop for High Priestess
to fully function from. High Priestess takes the best parts from the
Doom/Stoner Metal scene that has appeared over the last thirty years
or so and injects some much needed vitality and musical creativity.
This
album is already starting to win plaudits from within the Doom/Stoner
Metal community and it's richly deserved. As High Priestess provide a
no-holds musical experience you'll find very hard to ignore. Ripple
Music are releasing this album and it's good to see High Priestess
signed to the label. As I don't know who else could release this
album other than Ripple Music. You know what Ripple Music is known
for.
Though
this is High Priestess time to shine and they've created something
truly special here with their debut album.
