Still More Serbian Stoner Grunge.

Thanks again to Milos from Fluid Underground for sharing their latest album!
Fluid Underground is a Serbian Stoner Rock/Grunge band. I did earlier post some stuff of them here and here.
Decembar is the second album of this year, so you can say these guys don't like to sit still. The first album of this year called Napad I Prve Noci was already a great recording, but Decembar is nothing less! The song Zlocin ili Kazna could be a tune on the album Through The Eyes Of Heathens by Dozer. If you're familiar with Fluid Underground and you like this band, you don't wanna miss this one. Enjoy!

More Serbian Stoner Grunge.

Last week I posted the album Napad i Prve Noci by the Serbian Stoner/ Grunge Band Fluid Underground (formely known as Fluid). The guy from this band, Milos send me more stuff of Fluid Undergrond. Thank you again Milos!
What we've got here is one album, two EP's and one single. And all this stuff is good! The EP Stoner is one song in five parts. This is truly a great EP, especially part 4. The Album Stoner IV is an excellent piece of work. The EP Eight Years Of Nothing is also great. But then the single A Grain Of Sand, this is an ode to Dozer. This songs is heavily influenced by the song Blood Undone from the album Through The Eyes Of Heathens. If you think it's a rip-off, then you're thinking wrong. It's a tribute and an awesome song! Enjoy!

Serbian Stoner Grunge.

Thanks to Milos from the Band Fluid Underground for sending me their album!
Fluid Underground is a Serbian Stoner Band with Grunge influences. Their album Napad I Prve Noci is a nice one. The lyrics are Serbian, so I don't have a clue what these guys are singing about. That doesn't mind, let the music speak for it self! And the music is great. Some of the songs remind me a bit of QOTSA, but that's not a bad thing. At their MySpace this band says to be influenced by the following: Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, SloBurn, Orange Goblin, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Dinosaur Jr. Velvet Underground, Motorhead. So you know what your dealing with. Enjoy!

The band "Fluid" is being born for the past six years. The reasons for putting it aside before are financial, as well as the fear of the unknown, unusual and weird. Things change in the beggining of the millenium, when the idea begins to materialise.With the raw talent, screaming guitars and half empty drum,the "Fluid" is being made. Dark lyrics and heavy half - tones, have placed the band into the true underground, i.e. stoner rock. How to define "Fluid"? Of course, as the symbiosis of the garage Gods.From the chaotic riffs of "Sonic Youth" over heavy "Nirvana" half - tones, to contageous "Mudhoney" vocals, and unique atmosphere of "Kyuss" and "QOTSA". "Fluid" is completely dark, with the heavy distorsion inside, the broken voice stands for the incubation of the new virus, that has crossed the road from a parasite to an organysm for itself, with no need for any host.

Some Great Stoner/Sludge From Serbia

The band Tona from Novi Sad, Serbia sended me their debute album called 1000 (Tona means Ton or 1000 kg in Serbian). This is a very good sounding album. You really should get it.

Coming from Novi Sad, the town in sleepy northern Serbia's province of Vojvodina, TONA started playing loud in summer 2005. Right from the start, this 5-piece aimed at creating versatile and original sound, combining the best of rock, metal and punk music of the last decades.
Anything that can be combined into a powerful sonic blast is put into the band's cauldron and cast into a solid piece of rock, making the unique sound of TONA.
The band just released their first full-lenght named 1000. The album is released for SKC NS, regional government sponsored label that aims to promote alternative culture in Serbia.
(From MySpace)

"...THIS IS A BEAST OF AN ALBUM, the accomplished production shifting it up a gear from their previous recordings. It's quite clearly one of those that fits into the category of music that has to be played fucking loud to be properly appreciated. Just as Johann Cruyff pioneered the concept of total football, TONA are exponents of TOTAL ROCK. Every instrument attacks, with vocals used rhythmically to intensify the hit.
From the outset there's a claustrophobic, machine-like quality to the music, making you feel you're locked in for the duration. The opener "Red Cylinder" is a choking, Motorhead-inspired anthem, and the frantic pace continues with the bluesy, ZZ Top-esque "Pieces". Some temporary relief comes in the first half of the slower, mournful sounding "Box", still my favourite tune, before that too gives way to fist-smashing, Bitch Magnet style riffs.
Even when it slows down, however, such as in "Go Slow", there's no letup in the monstrous heaviness of the impact, in fact the effect is even heightened by the knowledge that another crushing blow is about to be delivered. You can tense yourself in preparation, but you can't escape from its relentlessly pounding, superhuman power.
Yes, of course it's a macho thing (they're Serbian, for fuck's sake!), a slightly masochistic kick for those who love a bit of visceral aural punishment. And what kind of indie-pop wanker doesn't? HIGHLY RECOMENDED..."
