Stoner HiVe’s
Top 5 artists listened to last week…
O’ what a beautiful sun out there! Is the winter truly over? Already? We can only hope so! Well, it’s been another full week and another week of highly different listening habits on certain days. And a few of those bands we listened to we shall keep out of the Top 5, simply because they have no merit for the crazies who might be checking this post out. Or should we mention Dream Theater and their technical prowess or that we had to rediscover Cocteau Twins, thanks to Reek Of STOOM? Nah, let’s leave’m off the list and just mention the Five HiVe relevant artists and their respective artists… Right? Well, here goes… Cold atmospheric doom metal straight from outskirts of Riga, Latvia. The album is called Fracture and the band Eyrth and turns out to be one hell of a sonic wrecking ball! Mark Greening (former Electric Wizard, also of Ramesses, With The Dead) and vocalist Virginia Monti (Psychedelic Witchcraft) joined forces to found the heaviest occult psych superbeast to see the light this year: Dead Witches! The Final Exorcism is their first release (through Heavy Psych Sounds) and offers exactly the kind of slow dragging occult sounding psychedelic doom one would expect from these heavy weights. A surprise? No, but damn freakin good anyway! Electric Mary hails from Australia and releases their new album Mother through Listenable Records. No Aussie pub rock, but sweet sounding hardrock with that fine bluesy edge. This is intense classic stuff with a modern feel. No way to not immediately fall in love with the new Electric Mary! Was uncertain if we should keep Flotsam and Jetsam on the list, but we should, we just should. Cause their new album The End of Chaos is just one hell of a kick in the nuts! Out on AFM Records the heavy metal with it’s thrash and speedy influences is pure quality. Iosomnia by Finnish trio Jupiter takes us back to everything the Stoner HiVe loves! Heavy psychedelic, doomy stoner and progressive touches! It’s one hell of an adventure! And one you should all experience! At least once! So check it out! Check’m all out!
