Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday

Over here there is a rush of fever! Ice skating fever. The Dutch go crazy when there are a few days of freezing weather. So the past two days the most of the Netherlands, myself included, have been doing the rounds on the various fens, lakes, streams and canals. And there is two more days of fun to be had, after which the thaw will commence. But hey, it is Friday. And we do have a little respite from the cold to warm ourself with some Quick Fire Friday action! So here it comes! And we know, we know, the albums and bands deserve more than the few words we will jot down here. More attention and more of our time! But there is so much out there and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! And its burns hot like molten lava!

The Dry Mouths – T3Ch N3Rd5

We’ve been digging the shit out of Almeria, Spain three-piece The Dry Mouths even since getting to know them as a quartet back around 2012. New single T3Ch N3Rd5 is hopefully a promise of a new complete album soon. Cause the band rocks and so does this new track! The groove and the flow, the languid sunset approach to all that heaviness we all love so dearly. Gonna be having this one on repeat when we start skating at sunrise tomorrow…

Neofelis Nebulosa – EP1

French post grunge outfit Neofelis Nebulosa infuses elements of stoner, alternative rock and post punk into the sound displayed on the three track EP1. Three tracks that encourages people to break all chains in order not to risk living in a world of loneliness and depression. It definitely has a drive and will definitely spur you into action!

Spaceweed – Sorry We’re Stoned

What’s in a name right? Both the demo EP and the bandname leave little to the imagination. Some might be deterred from checking it out. But the lo-fi, grubby and lo-down sound of Spaceweed might actually get you high. Slow burning instrumental sludgy doom and stoner metal that definitely sounds like the stuff they named their duo project after: “We're named after some outta this world shit my buddy found in his dad's desk back in high school.” Well, let’s ask his dad for more?!

Jorogumo – Rot

Five-piece sludgy death metal outfit from the dirty streets of Glasgow called Jorogumo released their debut EP Rot just a week or so ago. Five tracks that take another approach to doom; using it to spice up their old school death metal sound and the hardcore elements they definitely use to their advantage. Powerful and definitely bordering on the extreme; but never crossing that line. Awesome!

Stay To Sleep – Puppet

 

And to end this Quick Fire Friday segment more quietly and dreamy we give you another Almeria, Spain outfit called Stay To Sleep and their single Puppet. Their rock definitely has some ambient and shoegaze elements and is highly atmospheric. Spacegaze and dreamrock they call it themselves and that definitely fits this track. Can’t wait to hear what the rest of the upcoming Blow A Wish album will sound like!
