Stonus – Séance
Electric Valley Records – 2021
Rock, Stoner, Hardrock,
Rated: *****

The promo arrived at the end of January. After which the new Stonus EP Séance quickly made its way onto the digital carrier we take with us everywhere. It remained a high favorite and whenever the device had gone full circle we loved hearing those three Stonus tracks again. And again. And again… We just forgot to write a few nice words about them and give the boys some real credit. For they highly deserve every bit of attention we can give them! For the three tracks are damn fine executed hard rocking, full trucking, stoner efforts. With their guitars on a dirty tuneage, the groove is mighty and the fuzz is filthy. With some spacey effects the drive is forward, ever forward towards that desert horizon. If you happen to get a few flashbacks of some great Monster Magnet moments somewhere along the line, you are not wrong. It’s the composition and the instrumentation along with that wide vista they create that just might do such a thing. And of course there are also the vocals to take into account, even only vaguely reminiscent of the Wyndorf maestro, it does hit that right, intensely sweet spot every time again. As three track EP’s go; you simply can’t do better! You might even conclude that you simply can't do better than Stonus!
