In 2009 I've posted the demo by the band Nevesis here. This Estonian quartet is now back with their same titled album.
Nevesis plays a heavy and uptempo mix of Stoner and Hard Rock. According to their Facebook page, is Nevesis influenced by the following: Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Truly, Big Elf, Sgt. Sunshine, The Sword, Kin Ping Meh, Emerald City, Fuzzy Duck and Foo Fighters.
The album has become an awesome piece of work with the three re-recorded songs from the demo and six new songs. Enjoy!
Nevesis spells trouble, yet, like many a disobedient, back-talking brat, they possess a certain irresistible cool, an unexpected emotion grown out of their raw scruffiness. Moreover, the level of technicality of Nevesis' riff-laden heavy rock is high enough to suck into the vortex of trouble even those listeners for whom the rumbling chords, the unbelievable vocals and the powerful, sense-undermining groove are not enough to achieve catharsis. The more predisposed audiences, though, will soon find that Nevesis, either live or recorded, can invade and ravish their bodies, pants and heads faster than they can say “WTF just happened?” (From Facebook)
Here's a great release by the finest label of Italy: Go Down Records! From Rimini, Italy comes the band Using Bridge. This foursome plays a combination of Stoner Rock and Grunge. Using Bridge has released three albums and And I Will Be Heard is their most recent. The music consists of great guitar riffs and nice rhytms. Using Bridge offers a variety of songs that goes from heavy to acoustic. But what is really special about this band are the vocals. The voice of Manuel Ottaviani is awesome. He does remind me sometimes of Chris Cornell. So this is a damn fine album that has to be heard!
Here's my first post after after two months of absence, due to personal issues!
From Tacoma, USA comes the band Sun Eater. This young trio plays Psychedelic Stoner Rock with Post Rock influences. Their same titled debut EP contains three awesome tracks with a main role for the guitar.
The music of Sun Eater is pretty atmospheric and contains a minimum of vocals. An very impressive EP by this new band. Enjoy and support these guys!
Sun Eater is a psychedelic stoner trio from Tacoma, WA. Comprised of three college students between the ages of 19 and 20, Sun Eater is bringing a fresh sound to the psych rock genre with an emphasis on heavy riffs, intense guitar solos and quality. Founded in the Fall of 2011 by Ben Block and Kirby Lochner, they soon picked up Daniel Salas on the drums and the band has been the same ever since. With diverse musical backgrounds between the three members, Sun Eater is sure to turn heads with a strong, new sound. Working hard in the basement for the past six months they are finally ready to release their first debut EP, recorded at the band's home in Washington state. (Their bio)
Thanks again to Andrés F for sharing another great piece of music!
Andrés F is the guy behind the one-man band Culumus Nimbus with the fantastic album Montaña Oscura. Now he has started together with two others with a new project called Agade.
Agade just has finished their Soundproof Demo and it is an awesome piece of work for a beginning band.
These guys play almost Instrumental Heavy Rock with Space and Psychedelic influences and they have a big love for extended songs.
Their sound reminds me a bit of Color Haze and Sons Of Otis. But overall they sound pretty authentic.
This demo is so good produced, i can't hardly call it a demo. These five songs are a proof of what Agade is capable of.
This demo is really impressive and highly recommended! Andrés F is like King Midas, everything he's involved in, turns into gold! This demo proofs that! I really look forward to Agade's "real" album!
We are from Cordoba, Argentina, and began playing on July 2011. At the beginning we had a 4th member (another guitar player), but he left the band, so now we are just a trio.
The line-up is: myself on guitar & vocals, Horacio on bass & vocals and Marky on drums, percussion & vocals. Though this first demo only includes instrumental stuff, we have a couple of songs that are more vocal-driven.
Currently we are working on several songs and on a extended version of the song "Wurdulak" (about 40 - 50 minutes) which probably will became our first work to be recorded.
Our biggest influences are Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Los Natas, Kyuss, and other stuff like that.
I'd like to thank Thomas from the band Torso for sharing their album!
From Vienna, Austria comes the band Torso. This foursome plays amazingly awesome Stoner Rock with Space and Psychedelic influences. Their debut album Inside is an absolute masterpiece with seven tracks. These songs are all great compositions that are played very well. Another great thing about Torso are the vocals, these are outstanding and well fitting with the music.
So click the download link below and you will for sure appreciate this album! Enjoy!
Torso is an Quartett from Austria,playing complex Psychedelic/StonerRock influenced Sets.
Formed 2009 as "Montezuma",an Instrumental 3 Piece performing trippy psychedelic Jams.
After Recording a Song for a Compilation,a fourth Member joined the Band.
From this Moment on it wasn’t only tripping outta Space.
Early 2011 a new Drummer joined Torso,completing the actual Lineup.
The first Album "Inside" was recorded on September and has been released in 2012 on "StoneFree Records".
Alright, here are some really freaky tunes from the free download world of Bandcamp!
Manic Zamboni is a quartet from Wisconsin . This band plays grooving Instrumental music with several influences such as Psychedelic and Stoner Rock. Their EP Skunk Cunt is something I've never heard before.
The music of Manic Zamboni (named after an ice resurfacer machine) is based on strange rhythms and nice guitar riffs. These guys show with this EP some great musicianship.
Maybe this is not something for everybody's ears, but this EP does for sure deserve a listen! Check out also their other recordings on Bandcamp. Enjoy!
From Montpellier, France comes the band Mudweiser. This quartet plays a excellent combination of Stoner Rock, Southern Rock and Hard Rock with a Rock 'n' Roll attitude. Their sound is based on the powerful vocals and the heavy guitar riffs. There is also a solid foundation of drums and bass.
The album Holy Shit is a fine collection of kick-ass and straight forward songs. My favorites are My World, Missing In Action, Hoodoo Man and the brilliant Elvis Loves Me. Enjoy!
I'd like to thank the guys from Vincebuz for sharing this album!
Live Reunion is a collaboration of the guitar players and drummers from the Brazilian bands Vincebuz and Fuzzly. This album is live recorded at the Caffeine Studio at 11-11-11. This is the information I know so far!
Live Reunion is has become a phenomenal album. These four tracks are really awesome improvised jams. This is a fantastic piece of Instrumental Heavy Rock with Stoner, Psychedelic, Doom and Drone influences. Any further words are unnecessary! Just light a fat one, sit back and... Enjoy!
Vincebuz & Fuzzly (a.k.a. VinceFuzzlyBuz) - Live Reunion (2011)
A big thanks to Cris from the band Dope Flood for sharing their EP!
From Larissa, Greece comes the band Dope Flood. These four guys plays Heavy Rock with Stoner, Southern and Metal influences.
According to their Facebook page, they're influenced by the following bands: Kyuss, Down, Crowbar, Hermano, Fu Manchu, Black Label Society, Alice In Chains, The Melvins, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Deep Purple.
On their debute EP named A Planet On Four Legs, presents Dope Flood three impressive tracks. The sound of these songs is pretty massive. The guitar riffs are nice and heavy, the drums and bass are solid and on top of that there are these great and raw vocals.
Dope Flood is yet another great addition to Greek Stoner scene. Enjoy!
Cris(Guitar) came up with he idea of making Dope Flood, and with the help of his friend Manos (Vocals), because they could not express themselves at the band that they were before. So they started to write down material, and progressing it by themselves. Then they started searching for a drummer and a bassist, because Cris would take care of guitars and Manos of vocals. After a lot of searching, Bill came up behind the drum kit, because he liked the music of the band very much.Then Asterios came up with the bass. The lineup was finally complete and Dope Flood were ready. Then, the band entered the studio and recorded its first demo/EP called “A Planet On 4 Legs”. The bands first Demo/EP came out March 15 2011 …Keep The Bongs Up……
Check out this brand new band! It's coming from Montreal, Canada and this group of four is called Lion Farm. These guys play very nice Rock 'n' Roll with a Stoner Rock base, but there are also other elements, such as Hard Rock, Metal, Psychedelic and Space.
This EP contains four excellent songs with brilliant riffs and a great sound. These are catchy songs with great vocals.
A very impressive start of a new band! So keep an eye on Lion Farm! Enjoy!
Born out of a volcano of fire and fury, Lion Farm sinks its teeth into the jugular of Rock n’ Roll. With metal overtones and psychedelic underpinnings, Lion Farm claws their way down the mainline of anthemic rock.
Mike Foxxx and Malstain are longtime collaborators, first surfacing in the late 90s from the same fertile Toronto scene that spawned Peaches, Feist, Gonzales and Mocky. Their bands Rock ‘n’ Roll Bad Boy XXXpress and Seventy Whore were known by underground rock cognoscenti for their embrace of unabashed party-rocking in the po-faced indie-rock/post-rock era.
Pounding out catchy, heavy tunes, Lion Farm has quickly laid claim to the title of The Pride of Rock n’ Roll.
I would like to thank Shawn from the band Balero for sending me their CD's!
From Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, USA comes a trio named Balero. This band plays very nice Instrumental Stoner Rock.
The recipe for Balero is quite plainly: You take one part of heavy guitar riffs, one part throbbing bass and one part pounding drums. Shuffle this gently together in a recording studio and there is this nice heavy sound!
Their sound reminds me somehow to Karma To Burn and Mothertrucker.
Balero has released two recordings: The five track EP One Planet Short Of The Sun and the 2010 album After The End. These are two great albums that are definitely worth it! Enjoy!
Here’s the lowdown, BALERO got together in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 2002 with all members having the same goal in mind, to play the music that we love for the people who love this kind of music. We’re not out to reinvent the wheel just to rock the jams that we like to play in our own style. We are currently a three piece in search of a singer to take our music to the next level. A singer can make your band ten times better or ten times worse and we’re waiting for the better. We know what we’re looking for and we’re not going to settle for less! So we just continue to jam and write new material and hopefully the right singer will hop on the BALERO EXPRESS.
From Budapest, Hungary comes the new band Head For The Sun. This four piece band plays Stoner Rock with Sludgy influences.
Their EP four track Live At Hungarian StonerRockBlog 3rd Birthday Fuzztival is a nice sounding piece of work. The guitar produces some great heavy riffs, the bass and drums are quite pounding and the vocals are very good.
Head For The Sun shows with this EP their capabilities. I think there's a great future for this band. I look forward to the next release. Enjoy!
Head For The Sun was formed in October, 2011, in Budapest, Hungary. In december we got a chance to record our concert for almost free,
So we did it, however at that time we had been playing together only 2 months.
Fortunately the songs come easy for our songwriter, Rico (who is a blogger at Stoner Rock Blog Hungary).
(Their bio)
Head For The Sun - Live At Hungarian StonerRockBlog 3rd Birthday Fuzztival (2012)
This single was posted at this blog about three years ago. The reason I repost this single is the fact that a copy was delivered by the mailman today.
500 Ft. Of Pipe was a Drug Rock band from Detroit, USA. This trio has released three full lenght albums, one EP and this single.
Side A of this single contains the song So Good. This is a pretty great song. And there is this track on side B: Your Heart Is Angry (But Your Mind Is Stoned). This song is so damned awesome. It is one of the best songs that is ever recorded. It is a hell of a Rock 'n' Roll song. Enjoy!
Dos E.P.'s is a compilation album by the Los Angeles based Stoner Rock band Nebula. This compilation from 2001 begins with the three unreleased tracks Rocket, Long Day and Bardo Airways. The remaining eight tracks come from the Sun Creature EP and the split with Lowrider. Five of these tracks sound different because they are remixed.
Dos E.P.'s is a nice album with awesome tracks from the early era of Nebula. Enjoy!
Nebula's fourth full-length album, 'Dos EP's,' was released outside the US several months ago, and is only now seeing a proper release in their home country. What we have here is a reissue of their two classic EPs; 'Sun Creature' on the now-defunct Man's Ruin label, and the legendary Nebula/Lowrider split. Both have been at least partially remixed and remastered. Dos EP's also includes three new tunes, lest the buyer be under the mistaken impression that they are buying a simple reissue.
Make no mistake: Nebula is perhaps THE premier band in what some call stoner rock. They carry the banner high, writing guitar-led, ass-kicking tunes with a strong 70s vibe, dealing with the joys of substance indulgence, denim jackets, smokin' women, and the freedom of the open road. Plus, they tour like
hardened road dogs, traveling the world and living the life. Other prominent bands that deal with such
subjects have either broken up or produced recent music of questionable value. Nebula's recent music seems slightly more spare compared to earlier efforts, with lyrics that seem oversimplified at times, but as see it they've outlasted the other "famous" bands of the genre with their integrity intact, and deserve their place in the sun.
In any case, Dos EP's has some of the strongest music Nebula ever released, and they're right to keep it available. With the help of engineer Mathias Schneeberger, some of the previously released tunes have been changed, whether in tempo or with the addition of a Fender Rhodes piano. The results are enhanced and the songs are reinvigorated. The new tuneage sounds like it would be perfectly at home on their previous full-length, Charged. 'Rocket' has a classic charging riff, straight out of AC/DC's 'Whole Lotta Rosie,' or Led Zep's 'Rock and Roll,' or even Motorhead's 'Over the Top.' 'Long Day' encourages the listener to just take it easy with a basic boogie vibe, and 'Bardo Airways' has rhythmic sighs like in Jimi's 'Purple Haze,' punctuating lyrics about the joys of getting loaded.
This is far more than a simple reissue; it's a disc by a band that obviously cares a lot about its recorded
output. It seems that they review their past music as available for re-evaluation, rather than as a "sacred"
body of work. Well, it’s paid off. Hell, I've got the originals, and I'm pleased to add this to my CD shelf.
Electric Magma is a band from Toronto, Canada. This trio plays incredible great Instrumental Stoner Rock. These guys have released until now six albums and the seventh one called Canadian Samurai is coming up.
The album Snail The Wah is my personal favorite. It contains 13 tracks of Wah Wah madness. This great pedal is all over this album. Even the bass is here and there infected with this magnificant effect.
Beside that does this album have a very awesome sound. It is thick and heavy. The riffs are stunning, just as the bass and drums.
All of the 13 songs are compositional masterpieces. A brilliant album! Enjoy!
Electric Magma formed in 2000 in the tiny hamlet known as Toronto, Canada. Emerging from the ashes of previous musical endeavors, the thunderous trio comprised of Tryg Smith , Tim Reesor and Mario Lunardo forged ahead with their vision of sonic eruption. Halfway up the fuzzed-out sludge ladder, somewhere in between the metal boogie rock of Clutch and the surfed-up stoner rock of Fu Manchu, lies the sound of burning liquid rock. Electrified Magma.
While many groups struggle with the concept of applying vocal melodies over their musical groove, Electric Magma opted to side-step this dilemma and simply forgo the vocals and in their place drop in double the riffs. While the lack of a singer can be a crippling obstacle for many a lesser band, it has only added fuel to their collective fire and driven their fuzzed-out riff rock into another dimension.
Notorious merch whores, Electric Magma are second only to KISS when it comes to pimping the name onto anything and everything…soup to nuts, condoms to candy bars…their merch table alone is often an event unto itself, representing a bigger spread than Grandma’s baked goods table at the local church bazaar.
Currently promoting the release of their latest album entitled “Mudshovel”, which was released in April 2009, Electric Magma barrel ahead like a runaway freight train. This latest record may in fact be every stoner rock fans wet dream as they have created the ultimate sing-along for psychopaths and hard rocking maniacs. It’s riff rock karaoke night at the Sirloin Saloon, so grab your beer and belt buckle and give it your best.
Tuber is a trio hailing from Greece. This band plays an outstanding blend of Post Rock and Instrumental Stoner Rock. Until now, Tuber has released one EP. This EP is also available as free download on their Bandcamp site.
Their music is quite stunning. These guys are really good in what they're doing. They show some great musicianship. It all turns out in these four songs. Their music is pretty entertaining. It goes from atmospheric to heavy and everything what's in between. Beside that is the sound of this EP very good.
This EP must definitely be heard. Enjoy!
Tuber grew up in a sunny place, south of Greece, in an island called Crete. They were hiding from the sun, jamming in dark studios and playing their music in rock caves. As they moved north, sounds became lighter, since they started miss hot ground. Balance came as a result of smash, dark embraced light and improvisation turned into an effortless and instinctive process. Tuber moved their interest into new forms, founding themselves experimenting with compositions that combine mixed styles and sounds from different ground. Focus is now on rock aesthetic flirting with psychedelic atmosphere and a touch of romantic mood. At this time Tuber live in Serres, forming their feelings and thoughts into music and words, still learning how to leave with reality and reinventing it with love.
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.
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''
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.
