Hanging Tree

Hanging Tree is a well-known song by the Queens Of The Stone Age. It's also the name of a Stoner Rock band from Limburg, Holland. Hanging Tree does indeed sounds a lot like QOTSA! Even the vocals sounds like Josh H. Take the second song The Red Sun And A Comet From The Sky, here's a very strong Little Sister feel. (Maybe because of the use of the jamblock!)

Don't get me wrong here, I like what these guys are doing here. We have a saying in Holland that says: Better good stolen, than poor cooked up. The Black Shades is still a great EP. You will like it for sure if you're a QOTSA fan. The last track of this EP is the ZZ Top cover Sharp Dressed Man. Enjoy and give this band some support!

Hanging Tree brings you a must see rock 'n roll show that will be long remembered. From heavy guitarrock to catchy choruses that makes you want to sing along, it's all there! Inspired by the likes as Queens of the Stone Age, Velvet Revolver and Led Zeppelin, the band created their own, unique sound which can be best described as stonerblues combined with rock 'n roll. And with former members of Reckless Pilots and INFA you can ensure yourself that this band is one heck of a live experience!

L.A. Based Stoner Hard Rock

Now it's time for me to give someone my gratitude. And that is Anders from Sweden. He visits my blog often and says many times thanx for the stuff he found here by leaving a comment. (What many people should do more!!!).
Now Anders pleases me by dropping this album in the C-Box and my mail.

Night Horse is a Stoner/Hard Rock band from L.A. Their music is heavily influenced by 70's Hard Rock bands like Cactus, Thin Lizzy, Aerosmith and more. Night Horse is a great band 'cause I like this no-nonsense Hard Rock sound. They've great riffs and this album has a very good sound. Enjoy!

Tradition lies deep in the music of Los Angeles rock and roll group NIGHT HORSE, which features members of dirge soundscapists Ancestors and the vocal styling of Sam James Velde, formerly of explorative and adventurous rockers Bluebird. NIGHT HORSE bring a saddle bag full of heavy, raw and riffed-out blues-tinged rock steeped in the likes of John Lee Hooker, Taste, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac and The Allman Brothers Band without a retro stitch. NIGHT HORSE rein in the past with a firm heel in the present, galloping next to such like-minded contemporaries as Harvey Milk, Down and Priestess. Delivering heavy testimonials harnessed with a twin lead guitar assault, NIGHT HORSE join hands with these brothers in arms.

NIGHT HORSE's debut album 'The Dark Won't Hide You' is comprised of 6 sonic hymns, engineered and mixed by Mathias Schneeberger (Sunn 0))), Obsessed, Gutter Twins). The Dark Won't Hide You is out now on Tee Pee Records in the US & UK.

U.S. Stoner: SHROUD EATER

Thanks to Jean from the band Shroud Eater for sending their demo!
Shroud Eater is a Stoner Rock band from Florida, U.S.A. Their music is influenced with the following styles: Stoner, Sludge, Doom, Punk, 90'S Alternative And Metal. I think this demo sounds heavy as hell! Great guitar riffs, awesome vocals and great rhythms. You really should hear this. I guess that Shroud Eater is another promise for the future. I can't wait to hear a full-lenght album. Enjoy and support Shroud Eater!

Inspired by a common love of the dark and dirty sounds of late 70's heavy metal and 90's alternative, stoner and sludge rock, SHROUD EATER emerges as a three-pronged sewer beast onto the sunny façade of Miami, Florida. Merging gruff howlings with an arsenal of roughhewn, ragged riffs and locomotive rhythms, the band erupts with an impassioned fury that portrays the beating they dish out through the power of their music.

Mexican 70's Vibe Mellow Psychedelics

A week ago I posted the album Paradise Mescaline by the Mexican Stoner band El Diablo. This is their self-titled album. Paradise Mescaline is a hard rockin', fuzz-driven album, El Diablo is totally different. This album is far more mellow and psychedelic. I didn't expect this at all, but it is still great stuff. Enjoy!

Punk Influenced Stoner From The U.K.

A special thanks to Dustin for dropping this album in my Mailbox.

Southbound n' Supercharged is the debut album of the U.K. based Master Charger.

Master Charger plays a mix of Stoner Rock, Punk, Metal, Doom and 70's Hard Rock. They combine these styles very well, but in my opinion the main point is Stoner Doom. The three (!) guitars are real fuzz canons. The rhythms are great and these guys know how to write good songs! I really recommend this album! Enjoy and give Master Charger some support!

Master Charger formed in the summer of 2006. Hailing from Nottinghamshire UK. The band features members from the cult British death metal band Evoke, Ambient experimental sludge doomsters See it Burn and the then crustcore legends Intense Degree. Initially Master Charger began life as a three piece until 2008 when they recruited a second guitarist. Influenced by a wide range of music. Fusing 70's Rock with Punk / Metal tinges and throwing in a psychedelic twist mixed with downtuned monster grooves provides an overall raw Rock N' Roll feel. The band began to jam ideas and quickly found that they had enough material to record an album, the debut album is now completed and is entitled "Southbound N' Supercharged", Master Charger plan to play live very soon once the album is released and hope to target a whole range of audiences with their retro but yet fresh modern sound and approach to heavy music.
