SUNN O))) – pyroclasts

bit o crushing drones

SOMNURI – nefarious wave

• 

• 

tight, melodic, progressive sludge BLUESFUNERAL

SUPERVøID – the giant nothing

• 

• 

• 

heavy riffs, atmospheric soundscapes, cello… ambient metal opera like no other SUBSOUND

FELLOWCRAFT – this is where you’ll find me

melodic, almost radio-friendly grunge/alternative/prog/metal/rock, skillful songwriting, very enjoyable listening. CAMP

GRIEF RIFFS DRONES – lockdrone I

isolation-fueled drone/improvisation from the warrior pope frontman and the co.

CHAOS E.T. SEXUAL – only human crust

dark experimental industrial metal/dub/triphop/postrock atmospheres, bit out of my league so go ahead and check it out yourself. CAMP

CORTEZ

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

SORCIA

dirty depression-fueled sludge that doesnt smell like teen spirit, no hits, no gimmicks, just heaviness and grittyness crushing the pain inside your flaming, tortured skull. CAMP

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

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC – second sight

unarmed pedestrians are zapped, air smells polluted, clouds taste satanic… this band still amazes, two monstrous over 20 min instrumentals with plenty of twists, riffs and turns for halloween freaks and doomsday preppers

THE WHIRLINGS

theres a nice instrumental trip for spaceheads and others..

KENOMA – the tides will prevail

the most beautiful instrumetal ive heard in a while

SONS OF APACHE

now theres some unique instrumental

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC

smell the chemical air, taste the new instru-mental, crowds worshipping the latest cult leader, polician or a band? hard to see the difference, mushroom cloud in the end, signs of the times..

OF WOLVES – no loss for words

one of my favorites from the past years, from the “sludge” category, wish there were more bands like this who dare to say it straight and not write some cryptographic mumbojumbo bullshit. One track also on droning earth vol69.

CAMP

OCRE

new wave of french/canadian avant-garde metal?

TEEPEE CREEPER

“written in regards to the Dakota access pipeline and all the brave people who stood the grounds to defend the land and water.”

SUPERNAUT

this didnt sound like an fully produced/mastered album, more like a demo tape but i like demos, music is a unique mix of the new wave of british heavy metal, black sabbath and stoner rock…there was only a band logo and live pic attached with the tracks so did this picture (while listening) in the spirit of nirvanas bleach, use it if ya want.

CAMP

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC – the glitter of infinite hell

riffs are twisting, tracks are evolving, air smells polluted, society feels perverted, clouds taste satanic and the music sounds like a truly unique instru-metal symphony.

CAMP

NUDIST – bury my innocence

moody postmetalsludgescreamogaze

MONARCH – never forever

how dark and black can drone doom get? this is the answer, there should be “explicit drones” sticker on the album cover.

PROFOUND LORE

WARRIOR POPE – anchorite

my dl speed was awful again so based on couple of streamed tracks: interestingly adventurous progressive ambient/drone metal. CAMP

finally had time to listen this more, description above is quite good, progressive instrumentals with heavier and ambient parts, you never know what comes next.

GRANT NATIONAL – double black

like mixture of melvins/newer metallica and i stopped listening metallica after …and justice for all, so if youre fan of new school metallica you might like this.

 

VOID CRUISER – wayfarer

laidback stoner space metal, arctic bastard child of kyuss and hawkwind,
groovy relaxing cruise thru the heavyness and void of the andromeda galaxy,
put your damn space helmet on and get ready to fly high again.

OAK ISLAND RECORDS

RESIN – breathing frequencies

rarely someone sends me albumful of stoner doom nowadays, at least this kinda progressive old schoolish with dirty production values, and dirty means good, again my 1st thought (tells more than 100 pics) was somewhere between slowed down hendrix jam and earth, so relaxing jams for relaxing yoga moments, singer sounds quite disturbing but its the name of the game, as you can see from the coverart.

CAMP

DEADSMOKE – mountain legacy

monolithic, crushing, heavy like a hangover banging your skull without mercy, better just quote the promo sheet: “Slow, hypnotic, dissonant cadences recall the eternal need for isolation and the atavistic fear of nothingness. Sub-frequencies corrode the one last trace of human cognition, apprehension and judgment. Your soul is already burned, smoke is what remains.”

HEAVYPSYCHSOUNDS

LESADOS – jaula

guys have upgraded their grooves from stoner rock to doom, cant say this is perfect but getting closer, so go ahead, shut up and LISTEN.

MONOBROW – THE NACARAT

canadian psychedelic stoner metal space opera, enjoyably strange instrumental concept album with lyrics sheet so anyone can be the vocalist, the more i listen this the more i like it, quality riff all along the line.

CAMP

RADIEN – maa

desperation, desolation, hopelessness, corruption, human scum, theres something that came to mind while listening this mean and dirty sludge, lyrics are in finnish but not sure what they tell, this isnt music to cheer you up, its pulling you down to the tar-filled black pit where you came from, so stay there or stand up and be counted!
