Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Weekend

Sometimes, we like to keep the fire burning! The lava flowing! And dance upon the ashes of all who do not understand what Heavy Music means to us addicts. So, this here, is the start of the second Quick Fire Weekend of 2023! Meant to spread the word on all that good stuff out there! 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. But here it is… Another Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Weekend! And it burns hot like molten lava!

 

Molosser Crude – Bye Bye Grace (Live in The Studio)

Swedish power couple Molosser Crude has been releasing some great singles this year, all stonerized delta blues, and Bye Bye Grace will be the new addition to this golden streak! All Live In The Studio renditions, and this one takes it towards something alternative and nineties as well. It’s the heavy version of the Molosser duo that brings dark Americana, a rickety blues, but both incarnations are equally soulful! Visit the Evil Ear website to learn more about both versions of the same duo!

Jupiter - Uinumas

Hailing from Finland, the trio called Jupiter takes their sixties and seventies rock towards something highly progressive, furiously fusion, wickedly jazzy and fuzzy psychedelic. They’ve been rocking out since 2010 and we only ever quickly mentioned their Iosomnia release from 2019. But their new Uinumas is something else, take the weirdest The Doors tracks, the catchiest Captain Beefheart and twist it all up with a bit of space and stoner. Highly immersive, it really roughs out its very own eccentric universe…

Beyond This Earth - The Overseer

From the upcoming album "Portraits of the Absurd" expected somewhere in Autumn 2023, it’s the lead single The Overseer from Greek sludge motherfuzzers Beyond This Earth. Metal, with sludge and stoner overtones until that break and we suddenly get treated to more progressive, nay, symphonic guitar work! Beautifully done!

I, Captain - Kemisk Välfärd

More Finland! And even weirder! It’s I, Captain and their new Kemisk Välfärd release. For even though this heavy psychedelic nugget has some sweet stoner rocking going on, some doom nodding and some highly fuzzed out moments, there’s also some highly freak out garage, crazy kraut influenced free rock that takes you to entirely different dimensions. With all this good and heavy craziness coming out of Finland, my next campervan tour must surely be through that lovely country! Kippis!

Ampacity – IV

Out since March, it’s IV, the fourth release by Gdynia, Poland quartet Ampacity. Out on Piranha Music, the album inhabits that adventurous hemisphere of kraut, psych and space rock. The six instrumental tracks distinctly give up their love for the sixties and seventies side of prog. Although the stonerized first minutes of Some Kind Of Glow and later eighties spirit and keywork, sees the four gallantly parade through all the genres you can think off. IV needs to be heard by more! By all!

Humanoids – Echo Mistakes

There are too many bands called Humanoids. And even though the Swiss born Humanoids have been operating for over twenty years, it’s still crazy to wade through that many Humanoids bands to get to this awesome one. For the four tracks on Echo Mistakes are definitely that! The evocative, big gestured alternative rock, mixed with the stoner sound that became so huge in the early two-thousands, and spacious elements that make it all soar, have that magic element that nobody knows where it stems from. Make no mistake, Echo Mistakes is amazing!

Hauer – I See Yourself

Named after famous Dutch actor Rutger Hauer perhaps? They are from the Netherlands after all and are definitely as wayward as the actor, we mean the fourpiece Hauer! Energetic alternative rock, indie and stoner all mixed into one hotchpotch and spiced with some post-punkish and highly danceable elements. Let’s see where these old rockers go from here!

Bunsenburner - Rituals

Closing off the Saturday is Bunsenburner and their Rituals release, which comes out on August 11! Yes, indeed, still a week away! Experimental doom, jazz metal, psychedelic stoner and stonerized free rock. An ever-rotating and expanding hive mind initially conceived and realized by the bassist and producer Ben Krahl in 2012, but now encompasses at least six individuals for Rituals. “Like its predecessor, Rituals was recorded live with a strong improvisational – jazz, if you will – approach, with certain segments and motifs being planned beforehand, but with the main forte coming from open-ended teamwork.” And well, this stream of consciousness rock is the stuff of dreams!
