Skunk Cunt


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!

Missing In Action


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!

Mad At The Soul


Thanks again to the guys of Cerber for sharing this EP!
I've posted the demo Z Prochu by the Polish band Cerber last september here. Now is this trio back with therir EP Mad At The Soul. This EP is pretty much a continuation of what they have done on their demo, but with a better sound!
Cerber present again a original sounding blend of Sludge Metal, Stoner and Hardcore. Musically it is again beautifully brutal and the vocals are afresh nicely raw and rude.
These six tracks are proof of the big step forward that Cerber has made. If you have appreciated the Z Pruchu demo, you will surely like the Mad At The Soul EP! Enjoy!

Band CERBER has been created at the end of 2010 on the remains of band Parias. After the final installation in Olsztyn the bassist- Tajny joins the Wisnia/Luki duo to create the final product- trio in which CERBER lasts till now and is going to last for the time being.

CERBER plays an uncompromised blend of hardcore, stoner/sludge metal and specific, strong groove, not avoiding either melodies or a complete lack of them.

In may 2011 first demo is released- "Z Prochu" ("From Dust") which collects positive reviews as well in Poland as abroad. It is promoted by several worse or better but always energry-driven shows at warmia-masuria with occasional trips to the other parts of the country.

The newest release- 6-track EP entitled "Mad At The Soul" contains both the heaviest and simplest and the most twisted melodic stuff CERBER has ever created. It is meant to open more doors and heads, so the band could spread their hatred.

A Planet On Four Legs


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……

Piss Where You Please


I'd like to thank Rudy for sharing this album!
A while ago I've posted the album Well Hunger by the band Kapitan Korsakov here. Now is this trio from Ghent, Belgium back with their new album called Stuff & Such.
This album is a great follow up to their previous album. They're really gone up to the next level.
This album contains twelve varied songs. Some of them are really raw as hell and others are more subdued.
These masters of Alternative/Noise have delivered an awesome new album. If you did enjoy Well Hunger, make sure you listen Stuff & Such at least once. Enjoy!

Complicating Matters


This brand new free download debut EP is just released by the band Rocketsurgery.
This foursome from Wicklow, Ireland plays Experimental Instrumental Rock / Post Rock. Their self titled EP contains five fantastic epic songs.
Their sound reminds me a bit of And So I Watch You From Afar, also a great band from that island.
These guys play their instruments very well and beside that is this EP also decent produced.
There is not much information about Rocketsurgery, but I can tell that this is an awesome band. This is really a need-to-hear EP. Enjoy!

Tales Of Addiction And Despair


Thanks to Mick from the band Blood Red Water for sharing their EP!
From Venice, Italy comes the Stoner Doom band Blood Red Water. This trio has just released their free download debut EP and I must say it's a nice piece of work.
This band play great heavy songs with awesome guitar riffs and thunderous drums. One point of criticism is the vocals. It sounds pretty good, but it sounds not that loud on this EP.
Nevertheless is Tales Of Addiction And Despair a great EP and a nice start by this band. Enjoy!
“When life is a stormy sea of addiction and grief, music could be a strong lighthouse”.
Blood Red Water formed in the summer of 2010 with Michele (vocals, ex grindcore bands: NAB and Grunter Screams) Fiorica (ex and bass player in Blank Symbol, now at the drum). Michele & Fiorica were longtime friends, drinking partners and united by the passion for sludge music so they decided to create something wicked.
Immediately Francesco (of mr. Boonekamp) joined them as guitarist and feedback noise junkie.
At first helped by Silvia (of S.M.A.D.) as bass player, then Tarantula (Lorenzo Petri from Gli sportivi , Valium doll) joined ‘em.
For Blood Red Water it became clear that the band would not be the umpteenth cover band in the zone but their interest/purpose is writing the music they like and feel.
All members love bands like EyeHateGod, Eletric Wizard, St. Vitus (list of musical influences is long, very long) but - jam after jam - they realized to not belong to any particular genre. Some tunes are pretty doomy, other tunes could be more into stoner stuff.
Blood Red Water lyrics are a merciless portrait of what can save a life or ditch it. Far away from fantasy themes, lyrics give off Michele’s life experience; you can even find redeem words as well as the deepest dopesick despair.
At the end of 2011, they entered at the Flameout studio and they did their first 5 songs EP “Tales of Addiction and Despair”.
For the time being the EP is in digital format with a free download, but a physical release of “Tales of Addiction and Despair” is coming soon in the pure spirit of D.I.Y.
In the meantime line-up is changed: Lorenzo left them and they got a new additional guitar player; so the current line-up is:
Michele vocals/Fiò drums/ Volt guitars/ Dodi guitars
Now BRW are planning to play live and spread their EP as much as they can.
Let the Blood In!
