Stone From The Sky is a french Heavy-Psych instrumental trio from Le Mans. After a debut album and 2 splits, they recently signed with the new German Label PsyKa Records, and will release for the first time on vinyl their 2nd album “Fuck The Sun“. From sweet & and mind-escaping melodies ala Papir or Causa Sui to cranked up fuzzy riffs ala Colour Haze or Mother Engine, Stone From The Sky clearly have their place among the best European Heavy-Psych bands.

Sautrus is a heavy tuned psychedelic/stoner band from Northern Poland formed in 2010. They combine deepest late 60's elements with hard driven metal influences and create a completely unique and mindblowing sound! "Anthony Hill is definitely a grower. You know, a record you find you dig more and more upon repeated spins. The catchy rhythmic hooks from Michał Młyniec pull you right into the action, along with some undeniably heavy riffing from Michał Nowak. Piotr Ochocinski’s rad drumming provides the rhythmic backbone for entire journey. Just add in Weno Winter’s undeniable vocals and we’re flying high!" "Complex and savory, the flavor is dark and heavy as you can want it and when that vocal hits, full forward is the only way to travel alongside. So many elements perfectly combined to create what I would hope is a staple of Sautrus’ live set that a crowd would have zero options but to whip it up to full frenzy as these guys hammer away showing a mastery of the...

Come fly with me! That seems to be the invitation German band Coogans Bluff are issuing. And no matter what your mother told you, you should accept it if you like blues rock mixed with a certain je ne sais quoi. “Coogan’s Bluff” is the title of one of those films that never stop puzzling you, no matter how old you get. Clint Eastwood plays a laconic, alcoholic Arizona cop who needs to find his man. It has all the right ingredients. Rolling Stone magazine paid hommage by describing the band as a “blend of 60s/70s-Hardrock, Hippie-Funk and some kind of Captain Beefheartesque Blues deconstruction”. Some call it “Retro” but it is hard to find many others combining Krautrock, Progressive and even Space-, Psychedelic-, Stoner- and Bluesrock in such an unusual way. Their songs are bulky as they are catchy and the groove leaves enough space for melodies and details to unfold. And now here is “Flying To The Stars”. An unintentional concept album. Individually written song parts seemed to...

Half Gramme of Soma is a 5-piece Rock band formed in early 2011, based in Athens, Greece. Since the start of 2015 H.G.o.S. consist of new members from the wider Smoking Community, housed in the 13th floor of an infamous Piraeus’ apartment block. In May 2017, the second full length studio album, and first with the current line - up, Groove is Black, has landed on earth earth to rock our bones. Every band that starts with a nice debut album doesn't have by necessity similarly nice follow up releases. Half Gramme of Soma is not one of those bands. That last change in the lineup is what really defined the sound and the character of their new album. Although their general direction remained quite the same as before, this album which is their second full release, is a totally new and separate chapter, if not a milestone for HGoS. If I had to describe in a few words the 'taste' this album left to me after several hearings, those words would simply be: "rock'n'r...

Bask may very well be next in line for the Southern Metal Throne. On their Bandcamp page, the Asheville, NC quartet says they “want rhythm heard for miles, melodies remembered for weeks and an honesty and sincerity felt to your bones.” Well, mission accomplished, fellas: Ramble Beyond, Bask’s sophomore effort, is an aural delight, a massive, filmic, soulful record that offers a truly transportive experience. In order to pinpoint what makes Bask's metal so hauntingly beautiful, it might be dutiful to stare into the vast reaches of their influences. Whether it’s the cathartic nature of the relentless breakdowns that sucks you in, or the level of charisma and passion they put into every emotive note, it’s undeniably southern metal. The Asheville-based quartet birthed a sound early on that skillfully mixed influences from stadium rock, metal, southern rock, Americana, progressive rock with stoner rock escapades. Their debut album, American Hollow, was a 6-track introduction to t...

Cybernetic Witch Cult, a doom rock trio from Cornwall, have been flying under the radar for a couple of years, gigging endlessly and treating their fans to lengthy sc-fi stoner rock songs about nuclear doom and pagan lore. Their new album Troglodithic Trip is a throwback to their demo showcase Morlock Rock - they re-recorded four songs - plus two brand new tunes. Play the albums back to back and it is obvious that they have grown a lot. New drummer Lewis May's ambidextrous, metronomic style gives singer/guitarist Alex Wyld and bass player Kale Deane a rock solid foundation to let rip. They play loud, take plenty of risks, and have a dark sense of humour that is pretty rare in their chosen genre, like showing Slim Pickens' portrayal of Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove riding on an atom bomb when they play Nuclear Sunset. There are some things in life that cannot be improved upon. Denim jeans, tube amps, Les Paul’s, and good old’ fashioned riff driven Doom. Regardless of the ...
