The Drop And The Sea

Stone In is a duo from Vancouver, Canada. These guys play Heavy Stoner Rock with Psychedelic, Progressive and Post Rock influences. Their music is stunning and quite unique.

The Drop And The Sea is the title of their debut 12" single. This single is also available as free download.

Side A of this single is the title track. This song is an combination of four separate songs. Side B contains the awesome track Take A Look. This song is also subject to seventies influences. On this side there is also a bonus track called Backing In Future Days.

This 12" is a small masterpiece and I hope certainly to hear more from Stone In in the near future! Enjoy!

Stone In brings new meaning to the words 'stone' and 'in'. Held together by a common love of vintage heavies, psychedelic organisms from around the world, progressive noise making and ecstatic drone we sculpt the air around us.

Although there are many ingredients in our sonicfridge, none are more beloved than our ride cymbals, loop pedals and electric amplifiers. Canyon grooves deep and winding. High-flying guitar solos like a mermaid choir in heat.

Alberto Centurion on drums and Greg Valou on multi instruments incluiding the now-legendary double neck bass guitar.

Coffin Cross

Early november I posted an article about the upcoming album Within The Witch by the New Zealand band Stone Angels with the singer Steven Bell of the band Second Gear Grind.

Well, here is that album! Within The Witch is an album with seven Sludge songs with Doom, Metal and Black influences. The music of Stone Angels is utterly heavy and rude. The riffs and rhythms are filthy and brutal.

The vocals and screams are fitting well in the sound and are very impressive. Steven Bell does show a total other side of himself compared with the work he has done with Second Gear Grind.

Within The Witch is an album that for sure will be appreciated by folks who are really into Heavy.

If you like a physical copy, send an email to the following address: cage_of_nails@hotmail.com (This is also the address for their PayPal account). Enjoy!

Everything Can Be A Lie

I'd like to thank José from the band Killimanjaro for sharing their EP!

Killimanjaro is a new power trio from Barcelos, Portugal. This band plays energetic Heavy Rock with Stoner and Seventies influences.

Today is the release of their same titled debut EP. This EP contains seven awesome tracks. The power of Killimanjaro are the freaky bass and drum patterns in combination with stunning fuzz guitar. The singer of this band has a great voice that fits the music well.

The artwork is done by Anoik. See more of his work here.

The Killimanjaro EP is a nice piece of work that sounds raw and heavy. An excellent start by this new band! Enjoy!

''On the same town as other heavy bands such as Aspen or Black Bombaim, three normal guys from Barcelos, Portugal, decided, on April 2011, to get together a go heavy. They realized that it wouldn't be need more than a trio, a power trio. Influenced by the stoner-rock bands of today and inspired on the 70's rock era, they've just released their first EP and are hope you to bang your heads while listening''

Put Your Clothes Back On

The next contribution comes from the Costa Rican band Hongo Fuu.

Hongo Fuu is an one-man band of Félix Arburola. This guy has just released the EP Marshmallow Sleep. For the recording of this EP, Félix has collaborated with several musicians.

The description of Hongo Fuu according to Facebook is Stoner Rock / Spaghetti Western / Experimental / Acid Rock.

What I hear is an EP with a unique sound. There are several elements in the music, such as psychedelic, acoustic and atmospheric parts. All with all a freaky, but very nice EP! Enjoy!

Born 3000 years ago and resurected in 1985 Hongo Fuu, the spawn of an evil male alien and a she-demon, was destined to conquer the world and later destroy it with his powerful chords and devastating riffs… instead he decided to spare the lives of the pathetic human beings and create awesome music in hopes they reach a higher and supreme state of mind… that, plus gummy bears.

City Of Fuzz

Thanks to Barbara for sending me this promo!

Lord Stereo from Warsaw, Poland is a band that plays great Stoner Rock with Psychedelic, Punk, Garage and Hard Rock influences, or as the band calls it: Heavy Vintage Rock.

This promo contains two of the seven tracks from their same titled EP. Lord Stereo is an awesome band that plays their music very well. What I like about this band, is the addition of organ in their sound.

These two tracks gives a clear image of what Lord Stereo is about. So support this band and buy the entire EP on their Bandcamp page. Enjoy!

Lord Stereo's music can be described in three words:

VINTAGE - like the postcards and photos from the late sixties and early seventies, full of melancholy and longing for the times of rebellion and carelessness. With a psychedelic sound of Hammond organ and a dirty, unruly guitar clatter in the background.

HEAVY - like a burden of sadness and anger that has accompanied us in music for generations, like the intensity of emotions.

ROCK - because as a band we belong in a great music drawer of this genre's numerous influences, where the Stooges are mixed with Black Sabbath and early Led Zeppelin with the 1960s garage punk rock.

Natural eclecticism, stemming from the diverse characters and inspirations of the band members, emotionality and simplicity are the key features of Lord Stereo. The band is formed by people known from a variety of alternative groups such as The Black Tapes, Oregano Chino, Vavamuffin, Pablopavo i Ludziki, the Monsters from Switzerland, Poker Face or Capital.
