The Countdown so far...

The Countdown so far...

Later on, after the clock strikes twelve and 2017 finally ends, we will know what the best album of 2017 is according to 91 of you lovely freaks out there who had the time and energy to send their list to us. We thank you once again, cause without you fellow freaks in the HiVe this could not be possible. It has been a wonderful year for all sorts of heavy music once again, without any question. So, in that respect it was a good year. And it seems the good stuff will keep on coming. 23 of the best albums made the Top 20 Countdown of 2017 but ofcourse you guys voted for many more great albums. And we shall publish the Numbers 21 to a 100 in a few days. And as such we shall post the tardy lists, the personal lists of the HiVe team members and the one album that held the Red Lantarn.  But before we tear up or start professing our love for this or that, let's run though the countdown and prepare for fireworks, a truckload of champagne and the knowledge of who produced the Number 1  album of 2017 according to you voters out there! Thanks everyone and let's all make sure 2018 will become the best year ever!

Number 2

Number 2

We seriously jump almost a cool hundred points from Ufomammut's 8 album on Number 3 to reach the album that receives The Silver Medal for ending up on the Number 2 spot of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2017. Can you guess which? Of course you can, everybody could. And after this everyone will know which album ended up on the Number One spot. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. For this tasty slab of heaviness deserves every bit of attention. There is no denying the fact they reigned supreme on the Doom Charts for a few months. And their 2014 album ended up on Number 14 of that year's Top 20 Countdown. This one takes all the goodness of that album and the one that came after to new heights. This is Doom of a higher plane. A universe of slow psychedelics and meticulous metal repetition. The sludgy atmosphere surrounding the entire record is perhaps what's most addictive about this band. It's thick, juicy and drenching in its grandiose epicness. Oh, yes, we have to go overboard with the accolades and superlatives again. More leads, even more groove and riffs that immediately nestle themselves in every fiber of your being. They sound large, they sound huge and they seem to get better and better with every album they release. They give themselves no rest and there is no rust to the sonic onslaught that is their thundering signature... The Silver Medal goes to...

Monolord – Rust

Number 3

Number 3

Okay. We all know the deal by now and we can probably all predict two of the three albums that will surely follow. And here's the lowdown. The Top 2 are miles away from the album occupying the Number 3 spot. Twenty points above Colour Haze on Number 4 we find a band I had personally not expected this high. Yes, Numbers 4 and 3 definitely amazed me with the amount of votes they received. Not because I am not completely infatuated with these records, but because (as said before)  the feedback was a little less loud when the records were released. But then again, they made the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown before. Twice in one year even! Back in 2012, they occupied Number 18 & Number 15! And this year, the Italian cosmic doom metal trio delivered another stunning piece of technical sludge, stoner and psychedelic massiveness. Getting more spacey by the minute the albums turns into a sweltering fog and a hypnotic haze quickly. And its definitely not a sleep inducing haze, for the rhythmic kicks and tempo shifts will have you on edge the entire time. Edgy, another word that definitely comes to mind when listening to this album. And by the time the third track rumbles through; you're lost in the heavy swirl and preparing to drown in the immense suction of every riff and groove. Euphoria looms as the eight tracks progress through the entire gamut of grinding riffs and heavenly psychedelics. The Bronze Medal of The Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2017 goes to...

Ufomammut – 8

Number 4

Number 4

We're almost entering the Top 3. But first we jump six points from Kadavar and Causa Sui on Number 5 to reach the fourth position. To be completely honest, I had not expected this album (or Number 3) to reach this position. There is no denying they're both damn good albums. But for some reason the feedback had not been that loud when these albums came out. But hey, this band is awesome, dammit! These cats found their way unto the Number 11 spot of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown back in 2012. And we cannot deny that this record contains 75 minutes of pure unadulterated bliss. More jazzy than its predecessors the album does what the band does best, bring hypnotic jams that are sure to make you dream of that one wild summer of love once again or even fall in love all over again. Or as Tony van Dorston wrote on his insanely amazing Fast N Bulbous: “For the most part, Koglek sticks to what he does best, expansive, jammy psychedelic rock with serpentine guitar lines and sweet, fuzzy tones. The sound seems to have a more up-front live feel, as you can almost imagine the wind sweeping in from the Tyrrhennian Sea onto the sandy hills in Sardinia, Koglek’s favorite place to play via Duna Jam.” Aah yes, wind swept love, strolling together through a luscious field of flowers and burying your head...

Colour Haze - In Her Garden  

Number 5

Number 5

Almost ten points above Dopelord we find two bands! Yes, we passed through the haze on Number 6 to reach two albums provided by two bands who impressed the hell out of all you out there. One instrumental mini-LP that is the culmination of the two works that came before this luscious end of the trilogy. Heavy and loud, yet also peaceful and quiet. This record vibrates on a completely different plane. Its psychedelic nature and krautrock elements surf high on the cosmic highway of fuzz and leave the listener longing for even more jams. And in comes the German trio with a highly different style of heaviness. Their seventies inspired stoner will have you stomping and humping in no time. Psychedelic blues and hard rock trucking! Darker then this albums predecessors the three manage to experiment within their own carved out reality, expanding borders, conquering foreign territories and long forgotten wastelands. Ten tracks that are as tough as they are rough! Yes, surf high on golden vibrations or get as wild as these times call for! On Number 5 we rock out to...

Causa Sui – Vibraciones Doradas

&

Kadavar – Rough Times

Number 6

Number 6

Five points above Red Mountains; which we found on Number 7 we find an album which was released in the first weeks of this horrible year of our Lord 2017. Doom. Metal. Vintage. Seventies. They are all key words here. The six tracks are all doom soaked, sonic wickedness, extremely heavy and completely drenched with a bloody haze. It's a Polish quartet that uses everything classic to produce something that sounds evil, occult and mystical without ever really occupying any of those words totally. For, there is no slaughtering of innocent children here or maidens let to an altar to be sacrificed. No, the mesmerizing and hallucinatory tracks make you envision lizards living inside celestial bodies or filthy priests dancing silly dances. And yes, it will make you ache for even more of that good dope... For dope it is! Really dope!

Dopelord - Children of the haze    

Number 7

Number 7

That was the heavy Sasquatch lumbering around on Number 8. The seven spots that follow were on the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown list from the moment the voting started. Changing positions, almost falling off, but never completely. That some of these albums ended up this high as they did, was a bit of surprise to me. But not for this one. Not to me! For this one, was one of my personal favorites from the moment I heard it. It transported me back to the time driving around Norway for a certain article about cars and the Molde Jazz festival. That was helluva lot of fun! But driving the Atlantic Road with this album on would have been so much better! It shines in all its psychedelic goodness and moves into a slightly darker realm, in regards to their earlier release, without ever becoming oppressive. It actually sounds extremely wide with all the wonderful vistas they evoke. And with so much room for all the instruments and voice to excel, it leaves you breathless. And that is exactly what they do best, that wonderful translation of the  sensation of a massive open expanse into heavy psychedelic rock and making it weave through your head and heart. It is a leisurely majestic, yet urgent trek across a mountains terrain which moves the soul and inspires the spirit at every turn...

Red Mountains – Slow Wander

Number 8

Number 8

The following band is the final band that sort of fell of the Top 20 during the voting process. It is featured eight points above Samsara Blue Experiment, which we found on Number 9. But, Number 8 lies before us and it deserves every bit of attention. And of course this band has made the Top 20 Countdown before. Back in 2010 they reached Third place with their album entitled III. Released back in June, the nine tracks maneuver expertly through all the stoner trucking and desert fuzzing we love so dearly. It is a classic take on modern rock and the other way around. With every record they release the move ever forward towards a more progressive view of the grungy landscape that lays beneath them. Turning their sights on Hammond organs and other musical possibilities. They are slowly turning into real stoner rock aces. Top Gun fighters that know how to make their huge and beastly sound, sound even more animalistic and massive. And this is thanks, paradoxically enough, to their technical prowess and their righteous instinctive feel when to show power or when to pull back on the throttle and let the machine move itself... Ride the sky and feel the groove!

Sasquatch – Maneuvers

Number 9

Number 9

We're going to jump five points now. From Youngblood Supercult on Number 10 to reach the first one digit position of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2017. On Number 9 we find an album that fell off many times as the votes came in for the Countdown. And then on that final day they suddenly picked up steam and passed all those bands that already were featured. It seems it is another album that you either love or hate. We all love the band. There is no doubt about that. But this album did get some harsher critique as their earlier ones. Back in 2010 their album made it to the Number 10 spot. And this 2017 one was already loved by yours truly back when it came out. “It is the result of endless hours of jamming, jamming and jamming after the former bassist left the group. The three of them had to find out where it would lead them and what the new chemistry would be. Well, they’ve gone psycho on the use of analog synths, keyboards and wild effects, while still retaining focus on the fact that even though everything is jam-based, a song has to be written, an adventure has to be taken and a journey has to reach its goal. And you will feel this during the course of every track. Which seem less worldly, a bit heavier and heftier in every aspect, yet every bit as spiritual as their earlier releases. It is yet another exploration one has to join in on. It has the markings of a true quest, the search of something pure and honest.” And it will leave you feeling at one...

Samsara Blues Experiment - One With The Universe

Number 10

Number 10

As we enter the Top 10, we jump almost twenty points this time around. We leave Mothership breathing dust and croaking an ugly cough on Number 11 as we prepare to join this crazy cult! They came out left field and took everyone by surprise. Sure, we enjoyed the hell out of that 2016 album. But I guess nobody expected something this insanely good! Themselves included, so it seems. They must have known they created something wild and wonderful, but they were not prepared for the enormous amount of love to be shown for the album. They galloped high and mighty across the Doom Charts and stayed there for a few months. And rightfully so, for it is a total ripper! As Bucky Brown (from the Ripple Effect) already stated on the Doom Charts: “As expected, the new album is a total ripper. The blues are as heavy as ever, the psych factor overflowing with dusty fuzz, vocals grizzling with dreamy rigor, and mountains of riffs that rattle the stage like a wild mustang bucking through the Americana spirit world.” Right on! Ride on!

Youngblood Supercult - The Great American Death Rattle

Number 11

Number 11

And once again we only jump one measly point from Pallbearer and their Heartless album on Number 12 to reach Number 11. We almost enter the Top 10 of the Top 20 countdown. And I am sure we all agree that every album we passed so far could just as easily have ended up a bit higher and that we are already missing certain albums. Thinking, they must surely have ended up in the Top 10 in that case. Well, this album missed entering the Top 10 by almost twenty points. But nobody missed out on enjoying the hell out of it this year! Released early 2017 it ticks all the right boxes in the absolute right way. It is fuzzy, it is groovy, it is psychy and it is spacey! Riff heavy rock that bounces and pounces as it rides the cosmic highway with such an amazing flow it not just aims for the awesome; but skips many steps to reach legendary proportions. And the only reason they probably did not end up higher, is because their righteous strangeness lasts half an hour... Only half an hour and then the awesome ride is over... And we all could use more and more! Shit, we all want more and more! More! More!

Mothership – High Strangeness

Number 12

Number 12

Exactly one point above Spaceslug's Time Travel Dilemma album that occupied the Number 13 spot we find a massive quartet carrying a casket filled with intense progressive doom metal. They reached Number 4 of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown with their 2014 album. And this year we find them on Number 12. The four freaks are still doom, definitely doom, but have let their love for prog and hardrock shine through ever more. With more space and even better vocals the album masks itself as an instant pleaser. But in truth, it takes a while to grasp every composition completely. It is a grower; and it will probably even age better than many of the albums released this year. It's got all the heaviness you need and so many layers to be discovered it might take another year to really let it all sink in. But we are not inconsiderate or heartless and can therefor truly understand its current spot on the Countdown... Check out the casket full of riffs!

Pallbearer – Heartless      

Number 13

Number 13

We jump another ten points from The Obsessed on Number 14 to get to the dangerous Number 13. Which features a space rock adventure extraordinair! Madman Tony Maim already wrote about them earlier this year. “They launch their rocket from Poland and bravely explore the outer limits of known space and beyond with fuzz boxes on full power. Jamming riffs collide with psych rock and explode with stoner/doom songs that get the head nodding while taking you on trip into your mind.” And ofcourse, these crazies also found their way unto the Doom Charts. Back in February they made it to the Number One spot. And Steve Howe from the awesome Outlaws Of The Sun said it right there: “It is a magnificent album. What more can be said, apart from, you need this album.” And that's it, so travel back to the beginning of this year and buy this album when it comes out. You already know what will happen later on! (They release another damn fine five-track called Mountains & Reminiscence the same year!)

Spaceslug – Time Travel Dilemma

Number 14

Number 14

We jump almost twenty-five points from Electric Wizard on Number 15 to reach the Number 14 spot of the 2017 Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown. An album that made it to the Number One spot of the Doom Charts back in March. But the band never made it unto the Countdown before, due to the fact that it is their first album in over twenty years time. “The mythos returns with this fantastic new milestone. The album is an extensive musical journey that spans time through all eras of this iconic band as the past, present, and future meld into one massive, cohesive musical statement. The first truly valid contender for Best Album Of 2017 has arrived!” Master Pat ‘Riot’ Whitaker (Taste Nation) wrote as a blurb. And righteously so!  Moving much more into the old-school metal and punk approach their doom always contained, it has so much groove, so many memorable riffs and so much personality it is a sacred record in every sense of the word. And it is this kind of personality we all need be obsessed with!

The Obsessed – Sacred

Number 15

Number 15

After spending time with the tasty tones from the very last album (they're calling it quits) of The Flying Eyes on Number 16 we have arrived at the final album that only had few points more than the three we found occupying Number 20. It’s an album that has gotten as much flak as it has gotten love. Flak because the band will always be remembered for that legendary album they released many years ago and love because that legendary album has also gotten them fans for life. Our Madman Tony Maim wrote a fine piece about the album and the legendary stuff just mentioned. But it will forever be your choice on which side of the fence you are on. But of course, these cats found their way onto the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown before. Their 2014 album reached Number 11 back then and in 2010 they reached the Number One spot. Their signature attitude towards doom ever prevalent; they move into different territories with every album without ever losing that 'garage' and 'ugly' feel to their beautiful doom. Many of which drag you down in a whirling electric cesspool full of blood, sex and death!

Electric Wizard – Wizard Bloody Wizard

Number 16

Number 16

We pass out under the celestial sky on Number 17 while everything turned purple thanks to the majestic tones of Celestial Cemetery by Purple Hill Witch. And on Number 16 we find one of those albums that came flying in very late thanks to the many votes cast the final day. Which seems fitting for it also caught our ears pretty late. Unfortunately late yes, because it’s one hell of a kicker! Out on Ripple Music the eight tracks are filled with wild riffs and seem to marry loads of different aspects of everything heavy we all love. This is one hell of a special album! A bluesy desert groove and a massive load of psychedelic fuzz fly around your eyes and ears making your spine shiver and your heart burn! Yes, let’s go overboard again with the accolades and call this the album of the season. For it will make December turn hot and sweaty and melt every inch of snow with its fiery tones and flammable compositions! 

The Flying Eyes – Burning Of The Season

Number 17

Number 17

I probably came in late to this graveyard party! But even then, the party was still in full swing, getting louder and wilder by the minute. Motherslug delivered a different kind of party on Number 18; a dangerous one. It would all be very feasible on a Motherslug party to wake up naked, bloody and bashed the next morning. Not sure what actually happened, but remembering something about being chain-whipped and stomped on by a bunch of outlaws; and now, hurting all over, you’re looking for revenge. You won’t find it here. Not on this party. This one turns psychedelic and kandy-kolored quick. Cause these three Norwegians will give you respite and a place to catch your breath and space out on doomy hard rock. It’s a heavy masterpiece that once again mixes all those genres we all love so dearly. Seventies influences, stoner ditties and psychedelics ride high on those doom and hard rock foundations. With a strange current running through it, it will turn your hair white and your skin itch with electricity. Yes, drop some acid, forget about yesterday and turn everything purple!

Purple Hill Witch – Celestial Cemetry

Number 18

Number 18

We’ve passed the three majestic bands on Number 20 and Ruby The Hatchet on Number 19 and we’re on to Number 18. And up till Number 15 in a few days, all of them just differ one or a few points. The first small leap occurs when we hit Number 14. But back to the album at hand. For on Number 18 we find one hell of an Australian motherfucker of a band! The quartet delivered such a titanous psychedelic doom and stoner metal album, it electrified everyone out there! Glacial motion on some moments and thundering down the highway like the marauding cavalry on rampage the next. There is no stopping these cats; they seem to be able to do it all. They sound like outlaws, like the last real gunfighters, like one-percenters on a mission to conquer the universe. Or at least a distant planet! And from here on in, you will either have to be with them or get the hell out of the way! Cause this is one bad ass slug that’s not stopping for anything or anyone!

Motherslug – The Electric Dunes Of Titan

Number 19

Number 19

There was some mighty shuffling in these lower regions of the Top 20 Countdown. That’s just because there are so many great and amazing albums released every year. This one was riding high when the first lists came in and then suddenly stopped receiving votes and fell of the list. Weird and insane! But, on the last night enough cats voted it in again. Rightfully so! The Top 20 Countdown would have missed this one big time! And guess what, this five-piece made the list before as well. Back in 2015 they reached the 17th position. With their new album they’ve been on the Doom Charts for four months straight! In fact, they’re still on it! Slowly making an exit. Let’s see if they return there as well? It’s a luscious record filled with majestic riffs and brilliant vocals; and it is impossible to do a hatchet job on it. Heavy psychedelics mixed with seventies inspired doom, interspersed with classic rock, prog affinity and with every track sounding like it wants to head to outer space! It is not possible to do a hatchet job on this record, in fact the only thing possible is to sing almighty high praise of this record. There is no other like it! It flows like golden mercury and this quintet has tapped into the main vein of everything awesome in the universe! 

Ruby The Hatchet – Planetary Space Child

Number 20

Number 20

Well, we start the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2017 off with a multi-layered bang! No less than three albums made the Number 20 spot! It could not be helped. You all voted massively for every one of the albums on the list and these three got the same amount of points. Two of which made the Top 20 Countdown before. In 2011 and 2012. “Holding high the torch that was lit by Hendrix, Clapton and West, Parker Griggs burns brightly with the white-hot heat that an amp turned up full can produce. Wah-wah, chugging, riffs, solos, distortion all make this heavy psych offering a masterpiece of freak out and head nodding. This is the good stuff.” Madman Tony Maim said that about one of these albums in a mention earlier this year. And yours truly claimed the following about the other one: “They make their ambitions known and look to a future, which is undoubtedly filled with fast paced stoner concrete as well as slow heartfelt little miracles. And it’s during those moments when the true beauty of this band shows itself best. A female vocalist that not just howls like the best, powerful, raw and voluminous. But also clean as a whistle and deeply evocative.  And whether they opt to go mysterious and psychedelic or fill your head with vertiginous riffs and wild colors, the guitar player shows itself master of every facet and shows himself to be one of the great ones.” And that same dingbat had the honor to write a blurb for the third album on the March Doom Charts! “Can you believe their first album was released in 2015? Ye gods, it feels like yesterday. Man, how I love that debut record. So, expectations were high. Pretty damn high. Well, each and every one of those expectations are met. This is blues with a capital B and a whole helluva lot of heaviness. Powerful, soulful and intense. These five cats from Oslo have outdone themselves, go check it out and be amazed by their almighty blues!” So, I guess there’s some almighty devilish royal thunder blues on Moscow radio tonight!

Royal Thunder – Wick

Radio Moscow – New Beginnings

The Devil And The Almighty Blues – II

We have long since passed the 20:00 CET deadline on December the 12th of this musically stupendous year of 2017.
