The Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2022 will start on December 13th and since the announcement of the list request last Sunday, your votes have been pouring in. Yes, you are all already sending your lists to us in a massive amount. That show of love for the countdown and all those heavy albums released this year makes us feel all warm and giddy inside. And well, one album, that has been receiving quite a few votes already and we never got around to mentioning on the HiVe, is Primordial by Telekinetic Yeti. Released back in July it immediately reached the Number 5 position of the Doom Charts that month and was spinning over here quite a lot. It’s the sophomore release from the Telekinetic Yeti moniker from Dubuque, Iowa, USA and sludges forward with ravenous intent and like only a massive Telekinetic Yeti could do. Primordial holds eleven tracks, that give you almost forty-five minutes of unadulterated riffs and riffs galore. Courtesy of founder, guitarist and vocalist Alex Baumann, the riffs sound rough, gritty, raw, and yes, Primordial. New drummer, Rockwel Heim pounding away where needed, the man also gives even more light for the guitar to shine. Or is it still Oscar Johansson on drums we hear, for he apparently joined after Athony Dreyer left? And did Mr. Heim only join after completion of this record? Whatever the case, the drums, and its crashes have the ability to lift the guitar parts above the ooze and sludge and give it this higher edge. Sharper, with a more cutting and slashing approach, the energy is more intense, crushing, and wild than that first release from 2017. Explosive might be another word applicable to the entire Primordial album. A super sophomore release, that almost sounds like the album you were always missing, and you will realize this, listening to wave after wave of riff highlights blast out of your speakers…

And you might wanna scroll down a bit… Cause for the lucky few there might just be a code…

Thanks to Telekinetic Yeti…
