Rated: ****

December is the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown month… But sometimes we do a weekend break… Like today… They hail from Rennes, France and the four of them call themselves Djiin and have just released, a week or two ago, their newest album Meandering Soul. “Meandering Soul is a concept album that presents the story of a tortured mind being and his evil fiends. The listener is going through a trip where he/she will meet many characters and will be surrounded sometimes by dark and frozen landscapes, other times by a hot and mesmerizing desert, or otherwise by oppressing and sensual places. All these elements are sailing on various musical influences.” Founded in 2017 they already convinced the hell out of everyone with their 2019 record The Freak. Well, the four are back and bring forth their very own tincture of heavy rock once again, seventies prog, heavy metal, psychedelic rock and even some kraut all mixed and distilled with some eastern vibes and mysticism. Excellently displayed by the use of the harp and that numinous voice of vocalist Chloé Panhaleux. Highly soulful and yet also dark and creepy or big and lumbering. It has a lot, it has everything and still wants more. Like a Meandering Soul
