Stoner HiVe's Quick Fire Weekend

 

 

Stoner HiVe's Quick Fire Weekend

As you know, sometimes, we need to keep that 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 another Quick Fire Weekend! 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 Saturday edition of a Stoner HiVe Quick Weekend! And it burns hot like molten lava!


The Bad Electric - Happy Endings Are Overrated

Out since yesterday, Happy Endings Are Overrated by Swansea, UK foursome The Bad Electric. They call it robo punk and sends shockwaves of super sparkling synth work towards you, coasting on an energetic layer of dirty riffs and intense drums. And after hearing these five tracks, we reckon The Bad Electric, should go on tour with the Electric Six and merge some nights, when the moon is full and the crowd extremely wild, into the The Bad Electric Six. Why not? It could happen!

The Magic Bus – Yarem Yarem

Yesterday we mentioned Beyond The Earth, but there's another project from many of the same members called The Magic Bus. My Greek is still limited to saying thank you, greeting a good day and ordering drinks. O’ and asking for the bill, but why on earth did I ever learn that? But for The Magic Bus you would want to learn more. Yarem, Yarem, is a poem set to music, and part of every poem’s charm is that it’s open to many interpretations! In the band’s mind it is an ode to the fragile but beautiful essence of love through time and hardship. Well, I guess I need to learn more Greek. It seems like a good idea to do this. It seems like a very good idea.

Sun Q – Myth

You will immediately be sucked into the Sun Q universe with that bluesy album opener Jane Doe. Heading straight for the heart of Myth, a nine track collaborative album by musicians and specialists from various countries. Recorded in Russia, in different studios in search of rare Soviet synthesizers, vintage tape instruments, and anything that could enhance the sound. A diverse array of musicians contributed to the recording, enriching the songs with vibrant strings and brass sections, not to mention unique instruments from all over the world, like Swedish nyckelharpa and African percussion. They even got three different choirs from Russia, USA, and Uganda. If that is not enough to make you check out Myth, here’s one more to get you on board: it might be all over the place, but there’s magic everywhere, and in short: it’s awesome!

Pharm – The Tower

Vortex was on heavy rotation about a year ago, and the new three track EP The Tower has followed suit the past month. It’s the new Pharm three track, EP, filled with hyper prog,  manic, funky and possibly insane. And that’s not just because it opens with a title called: Infinite Stairway to Madness. Frantic and break neck break back breaks. It’s Pharm and you simply need a dose of this from time to time to get your head working in the right order again!

WIJ – Oko

Out December 15th on Piranha Music, the new WIJ album Przestwór. And Oko is the first single for this. There are moments when you think this is how Go A should sound, but then you immediately think, no, this is how they could never sound, cause WIJ is way more special. It’s a track you need to put on repeat and listen to the entire night, while typing away frantically at some stream of consciousness poetry about a dystopian society in the future where you are continuously watched by a hovering eye behind you… Or that might just be me?

Hypnosaur - Inwazja z Plutona

Out since December 5, the cover version of Kombi’s Inwazja z Plutona by Hypnosaur! Remember that awesome Doomsday album from 2022? Already highly eclectic, this one cover shows us once again that Hypnosaur can do whatever that beast wants! Stonerizing some synth-pop track from the eighties? Sure, Hypnosaur doesn’t even break a sweat! And that video! Haha, awesome!

Polyfrenetics – DecayDecayDecay

Polyfrenetics is a three headed troll out of Oslo, Norway who thinks intergalactic sack rock is the best invention since canned beer.” And they’re right of course! And they’ve released their third EP DecayDecayDecay back in October. Six songs about Decay and… err… Love… Or something... Psychedelic punk, stoner prog, it moves in circles, add some space rock and a lot of canned beer, and you know that this third EP by Polyfrenetics is another one of those heavy rock treasures that needs to be discovered by one and all!

Throe - O Enterro das Marés

Throe is first and foremost the experimental, ambient, post rock and metal project by multi-instrumentalist Vina. Also a member of Sao Paolo instrumental rock band Huey, the Brazilian explores limits and endings in this ode to finitude called O Enterro das Marés. In this almost thirty-minute-long exploration we get treated to a white-out level of ambient and post rocking beauty, as well as industrial and noisy blackening. Limits are tested, implosion possible, by depths and ranges…
