Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Weekend
It wouldn’t be a Quick Fire Weekend if we did not do another round of fury on Sunday! So, here’s the second part of the Quick Fire Weekend posts. You know the deal, a small amount of words to help spread the good and heavy music that’s out there. Cause we realize there’s just so much out there! There is no way we can mention it all or even a small percentage of all that heavy stuff we all love. Well, this way, we hope to spread just a tiny bit more… And we know… There is so much out there, so much good and heavy stuff, and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The second day of the first Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Weekend of 2023! And it burns hot like molten lava!
Vulture Neck – Mountain Giant
Vulture Neck is a power trio from Hägersten, Stockholm. Formed in 2018 they specialize in a variety of heavy genres, doom, sludge, heavy metal, hard rock and it all comes to bear listening to the two track single released in 2020, called Mountain Giant. Si, senor, an older release, but available now across the entire world wide internet thing… Which is a good thing, cause we need this classic doom rock everywhere over the globe and all at once! Go spin Vulture Neck!
Anywhere But Here is a five track EP released in March. It’s the brainchild of the Calgary, Canada, five-piece The Astral Prophets. Intense grooves, passionate metal, hardrock, stonerrock, these five have it all. And they bring it all with a truckload of power, swing and style! Add those infectious vocals by Staci Allen and when you do the math, this all means, The Astral Prophets got it all! And then some! And then some more!

Numerical Control Society – Moonshot
Released… Yesterday! The new four track EP Moonshot by Chicago quartet Numerical Control Society. Four instrumental, doom, sludge, stoner, metal goodies! And these guys take a different approach to all those genres than what you might expect, these cats go into more technical terrain. And the way these guys switch between the modest instrumentation and the louder sounds, has me extremely happy… Smiling with glee! Or should we say, completely over the moon! It’s all very refreshing!
Malabari – Welcome To Malabari
There’s a storm brewing… And it is coming out of Norway… And it will arrive on April 28th… Malabari hails from Trondheim, features members from Reckless Souls and delivers hardrock and heavy metal, all done with very ear pleasing melodies, catchy choruses and gritty howls. Huge in gestures, the four tracks on this five track EP will surely awaken every metal beast out there. Their metal has a modern touch, often razor-sharp but even more so when it comes to thoughtful chord changes. Harmonic as well as crunching. And you can already get your first Malabari fix by checking out first single Spellbound…
Stoned Morose - Pure Hesher Doom
Already audible on bandcamp, but officially out April 20th, yet another damn fine five track EP. This one’s from the Stoned Morose trio, is called Pure Hesher Doom and delivers all those hints glaring at you from the bandname and EP title in multitudes and more! Pure Hesher Doom is doom metal, completely foggy and dusted, a tinge of black metal and a whole lot of morose brutishness! Now go squat a house that’s actually not vacant at all, hang out on their couch and be totally obnoxious and a foul-mouthed, tattooed, heavy metal-loving lout. Pure Hesher Doom!
Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys – Heaving
Something different for this Sunday Quick Fire Post perhaps? Alternative, psychedelic, dream, pop and folk. Electric, lucid and hazy. Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys’s new album Heaving starts off with a track that made me think of Smoke City. Which happened a couple of times during the record, and this is a good thing. There’s always that dreamy, smokey, foggy quality, but also a definite electric current running through it all. Its that careening on the edge of an abyss, with emotional burden, melancholy and beauty doing their best to tip it all over. Surving it all, turns it into pretty ecstatic stuff in the end!
Breaking Fuel – OUR
Our has been out since February, and it is the new two-track single by Bordeaux, France duo Breaking Fuel. And it’s the prelude to the MODGA album soon to follow. Experimental and avant-garde electro-rock, prog, garage and actually almost the entire gamut of styles that we’ve been conjuring up over the past decade. It radiates detail and minute musicianship on a miniature square inch, determination to get the most out of every note and every melody. Damn good stuff!
