WINO – forever gone

hail minimalistic approach, the man and the acoustic guitar, sometimes less is really more, especially when the songs are full of emotion, beauty, sadness, solitude and darkness; an LP of brilliance. RIPPLEMUSIC

THE SWELL FELLAS – the great play of extension

interesting mind-bending twist and turns on this little EP, prog rock in the spirit of rush and the 70s.

 

CHRIS ROLLING SQUAD – tremors

like the french version of finnish band francine or melrose

WARCLOUD – earhammer sessions

in recent years been quite full of all kinda aerial disturbance in Finland so based on cover art i wouldnt buy this, musically reminds of teenage years when heavy metal and long hair were all that mattered, maiden/helloween/motörhead/manowar/accept etc. catchy fast forward rocknroll/nwobhm-metal with tongue in cheek attitude. RIPPLEMUSIC

URIAH HEEP – salisbury

captivating anthem, brilliant LP

URIAH HEEP – the magicians birthday

magnificent album and the most beautiful track of all time?  remastered version isnt as good as version with vinyl scratches.

DEEP PURPLE / RAINBOW

fucks sake,  hard/heavy rock boom going on again and still go watching the classics after a sip of cognag.

WOLFTOOTH – firebreather

molly hatchet meets black sabbath, quality old school hard rock/heavy metal.

PHIL LYNOTT – nineteen

the last recording of the legend.

GEEZER – groovy

another magnificent hard rocking heavypsych/stoner/bluesrock rifffest, took me out of this world for a while; if you want groove, say GEEZ…ER
HEAVYPSYCH

OZ

1st ever finnish metal band i heard, remember buying this as a cassette, still rocking harder than many new bands.

DÄTCHA MANDALA – hara

zeppelin/bolan/lennon/american roots music.. just few things this variation of tracks reminded of, captivating/surprising LP from start to finish. MRS RED SOUND

BEESUS – 3eejus

strangest LP ive heard in years, adventurous fuzz rock making your mind wander here and there never guessing what comes next, probably just easier to float in the fuzzflow. GODOWN

DEEP PURPLE – live in london

remember buying this as a cassette in early 80s, later found the LP from some Helsinki flea market, the 1st purple album and probably the best live album ive ever heard.

THIN LIZZY – black rose

lyrics still actual

 

THE LU SILVER STRING BAND – rocknroll is here to stay

nothing more than positively vibrating 60s/70s classic rock for fans of lynyrd skynyrd, molly hatchet, etc. GODOWNRECORDS

LYNYRD SKYNYRD

theres this hard/heavy rock boom going on, nothing beats the originals

VOID VATOR – stranded

mediocre hard rock/heavy metal, only interesting thing was the intro riff to the 8th track, short reminder of the golden years of the 80s speed metal, then even that track turns into boring basic hard rock, at least the cover art tells whats going on in the brave new world right now.

VVLVA – silhouettes

if this music had a little bit o vinyl scratches like the good old LPs, you could think its from the late 60s/early 70s, heavy/hard rock as great as the originals, purple/heep/etc… world in sound

STEW – people

after a while an album that was a pleasure to listen, as authentic as 70s hard/psych/classic rock can sound, innovative riffing, skillful vocals, groove, goes to same category as Charlies posted earlier.

CHARLIES – buttocks

and finnish heavy psych from the 70s

PEER GÜNT – backseat

Heres a good example of real rocknroll for the new so called rock bands who are just making lyrics and coverart for trolls and spammers, the closest thing to motörhead finland has to offer.

GONE COSMIC – sideways in time

skillful playing, beautiful vocals, faster than usual psychedelic rock letting your mind wander between the earth and the moon, what else do you need, some love perhaps in the middle of all this hate, greed and corrupted stalking? KOZMIK ARTIFACTZ

 

QOTSA

one from the original stoner

GIN LADY – tall sun crooked moon

forgotten LP from the 60s/70s flowerfilled love-fueled america? unbelievably catchy hard/country rock reminding of (to name a few) kiss, canned heat, lynyrd skynyrd, grateful dead, neil young.. KOZMIK ARTIFACTZ

GEEZER – spiral fires EP

theres some great psychedelic heaviness, EP that felt too short.

ps. “funny” incident when i checked the spiral fires promo video maybe a month ago and went out, one of these Oulunsalo/Oulu criminals came making spiral shaped chemtrail to the sky, im aware finnish military criminals are stalking/manipulating my internet connection too, as they are stalking when i go out from the apartment.

NEVESIS

THE RE-STONED

theres some innovative stoner/psychedelic/hard rock

THE DEVIL AND THE ALMIGHTY BLUES – tre

the most interesting riffing ive heard in a while, delta-blues/roots inspired hard rock grooves, albumful of delicious listening. camp

BLUE DREAM – volume won

dreamy, bluesy, heavy, surprising, relaxing… trip, one of these bands who play whatever they want and it sounds good, hard to categorize, at times thought im listening pink floyd, at times gary moores guitar, singer could sing in some britpop band (one of those two) too, so go ahead, make my day and figure it out.. kozmik
