Goddamn Hot



Thanks to the guys from WIS(H)KEY for sharing their album!
WIS(H)KEY is a five piece band from Barcelona, Spain. These guys plays a nice mix of Hard Rock, Metal and Southern Rock with even a Bluesy touch. This band is influenced by bands as Down, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Pantera, COC, Hank III, Soundgarden, Black Label Society, Clutch and many more.
Their debut albums knows a variety of twelve stunning songs. The music is mostly heavy and there are some awesome uptempo songs! Another great start by a new band! Enjoy!


WIS(H)KEY was born as an idea in 2010, after spending more than 10 years on the road sharing the stage with the most varied musical groups, both domestic and international.
The members, being huge fans of styles that do not monopolize the lists of the most successful in the metal panorama as the blues or rock'n'roll bands like CLUTCH, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY & DOWN. They decided to undertake this project just for fun.
Thus, by mid-2011 had 13 songs that began recording in their studio in Barcelona ARTEGRAMA STUDIO. They began the recording sessions for what will be an overwhelming first album to be released on November 2011.
After that, they decided to test the project, and initiate a publicity campaign for social networks, obtaining a very rewarding result, joining nearly 1000 fans in different social spots they’ve opened.
Without further claim that play and play what they like, WIS(H)KEY has passed from being just an idea, to become more than a real thing, more than powerful and more than a simple band.

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!

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……

Macho Libre


The following contribution comes from Athens, Greece.
Planet Of Zeus is a Heavy Rock band with Stoner, Southern Rock and Metal influences. This foursome has recently released their second album Macho Libre at B-Otherside Records. The sound that they present is pretty solid. The singer has an impressive voice that reminds a bit of Neil Fallon from Clutch. The guitar sound is very great, just as the bass and drums.
Macho Libre is an album with eleven strong compositions. Just as a lot of other bands, Planet Of Zeus is a great asset in the Greek Stoner Rock scene. Enjoy!

Planet of Zeus are a heavy rock, southern metal band from Athens, Greece. Were formed in 2000 and since then have extensively toured around Greece, playing in every venue possible, ranging from shitholes to stadiums. Their raw , sincere and constantly evolving live performances have secured them a loyal and hardcore underground following , which exceeds Greece's geographical boarders and has led them to sharing the stage with acts like Hermano and Brant Bjork.

Following the release of several compilations, that included some of their songs, but especially after the release of their track “Nervous Breakdown” , which became a heavy rock dj favorite, Planet of Zeus released their debut album “ Eleven the hard way” in April 2008. The album, which has sold out, was released worldwide through Casket Music / Copro records (uk) and received attention and reviews beyond expectation.
