CURSE THE SON – excruciation

cant help hearing sabbath-influence in riffs and vocals, everyone decides in their own burned brain is that a good or bad thing
but the tracks are heavier than heaven and roll like a midnight freight train. RIPPLEMUSIC

KING BUFFALO

King Buffalo · Red Star Pt. 1 & 2

mesmerizing and relaxing psychedelic rock

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.

MARS RED SKY – crazy hearth

moody track/video.

BLACK RAINBOWS – cosmic ritual supertrip

summer, beer, women, desert highways, 90s hazy rock pubs, solitude, total relaxation… some things listening this brought to mind; groovy riffing, great sounding production, nice variety of tracks, supertrip indeed, classic album of the future decades?

HEAVYPSYCH 

BORRACHO with JAKE STARR

stoner groove times two

HAIR OF THE DOG – its just a ride

lame coverart, CHECK, (gotta admit its somehow refreshing in the middle of all dragons,goats and demons), despite of that the music rocks, unique riffride of classic heavy rock/metal with tiny hint of stoner. KOZMIKARTIFACTZ

GAUPA – feberdröm

this isnt rock music, this is art, magnificent blend of stoner/psychedelia/folk/chanson, wasnt sure if i was listening heavy rock or classical composition, the lady can sing, at times reminding of björk. KOZMIKARTIFACTZ

THUNDERBIRD DIVINE – the hand of man

heavy psychedelic assault like the union of uriah heep and hawkwind, 3 tracks wasnt enough.

SPACEGOAT – superstition

delicate changes from sabbathy riffing to 70s heavy/folk rock with beaufiful female vocals; interestingly unique experience.  ELECTRICMAGIC

GREAT ELECTRIC QUEST – live at freak valley

reminds of the best from the early 80s (time before speed/black/thrash metals landed in lapland) , priest/maiden/saxon/raven/anvil/running wild/etc. RIPPLEMUSIC

ELEPHANT TREE – sails

flowing almost radio-friendly stoner rock/metal

RITUAL KING

after seeing the cover art and bandname the 1st thought was very stoned dudes playing very slow and heavy; heavy was right, maybe stoned as well but this is also damn delicate psych blues rock that even jimi hendrix would wonder about… delightful experience. RIPPLEMUSIC

HUMULUS – the deep

after the 1st basic stoner doom riffer album dives deeper with the holy ones, from the heavy waters to the milder and moody atmospheric depths, getting better and better track by track until the listener is swimming happily (ever after) with the deep-sea creatures. KOZMIKARTIFACTZ

TURNED TO STONE 1 – spacetrucker/mr bison

after the fireworks of spacetrucker, masterful mix of classic rock and stoner, was sure i cant listen the other band on the b-side, but what a pleasant surprise, enjoyed the unique groove roll of mr bison as well. RIPPLEMUSIC

TARABAN

moody magical psychedelic blues

DISASTROID – mortal fools

progression-wise reminds of voivod but instead of thrash this is grungy, crispy and crunchy rock/metal, hard to categorize, appreciate the unpredictability HEAVYPSYCH

BLACK SABBATH – born again

check this out digital bitches and zeroes the anonymous heroes, stonehenge, drone before drone boom, very inspiriing, many said this is the worst sabbath album, its not.

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.

MOS GENERATOR – spontaneous combustions

back to heavy heaven, albumful of unreleased improvisations, bluesy/moody/heavyrock jams, 4x10min, at times was thinking of sweaty Gary Moore spitting out his blues solos, great soundtrack for hard days nights or heavy boozing parties. KOZMIKARTIFACTZ

GILLAN IS HEAVY-ROCK

friday evening nostalgia, amazing LP only released in Finland

LYNYRD SKYNYRD

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

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

BESVÄRJELSEN – frost EP

theres never enough of female-fronted doom, to be honest sometimes there is, but heres innovative riffing, dreamlike vocals, depressful lyrics, spooky atmosphere, so to speak everything that doomster hippie needs

MARS RED SKY

nice fuzz, bass, vocals…

GORILLA – treecreeper

whiskey-burned vocals remind again of one particular guy so we are surfing somewhere between motörhead and stoner rock, little bit blues harmonica and psychedelic slow-downs, nothing fancy for fancy pants but dirty soundtrack for sun-burned summertime boozers. HEAVYPSYCHSOUNDS

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

THE RE-STONED – rams head

everyone who thinks to be an awesome musician should try to do at least one interesting instrumental, if music is good theres no need for lyrical boloney, heres albumful of innovative psychedelic grooves for heavy and deep relaxation. KOZMIK ARTIFACTZ
