Dozer - Rewind to Return: Rarities, Singles and B-Sides

Even though many of the Dozer fans will be in possession of these B-Sides and Singles, it is still a record too look forward to. For these will all be remastered to a new standard, showing off once again what kind of band Dozer already was. And continues to be. And as a first taster, they release the single Rings Of Saturn. It's the vinyl only bonus track for the Madre de Dios album from 2001 released through Molten Universe, which was limited to a 1000 issues... And now... It will be available for all Dozer fans! Thanks to Blues Funeral Recordings... Dozer rules. All Dozer, all the time...

Stoner rock legends DOZER to release "Rewind to Return: Rarities, Singles and B-Sides" double album on Blues Funeral Recordings; US summer tour announced

In celebration of their 30th anniversary, Sweden's godfathers of stoner rock DOZER announce the special release of the "Rewind to Return: Rarities, Singles and B-Sides" double album on August 1st via Blues Funeral Recordings and share a first excerpt with "Rings of Saturn". Don't miss them on their upcoming European and US shows!

🪐 Listen to Dozer's volcanic new track "Rings Of Saturn" 🪐
 

Formed in 1995 in the town of Borlänge, Sweden, DOZER led the earliest wave of stoner/desert rock, a fusion of proto-metal, riff-rock and punk that blasted forth from Scandinavia and Europe in response to the tectonic heft and sun-baked fuzz of American bands Kyuss and Fu Manchu.
 
30 years on, DOZER are heralded as undisputed forerunners of a movement and champions of volcanic energy.  Their status was affirmed in 2023 with the release of the landmark Drifting in the Endless Void, an amp-splitting return that dominated best-of lists and turntables, which Distorted Sound called, "a perfectly executed stoner album and then some" and was dubbed "an outstanding comeback" by Hellfire and "a magnetic fireball of propulsive hooks and cosmic majesty" by Decibel.  This renewed dominance led to DOZER’s first US tour in 20 years and set the stage for their three-decade milestone in 2025.
 
DOZER have always been prolific. Driven by take-no-prisoners energy, they'd hit the studio often, laying down songs in rapid-fire batches with little concern for schedules and album planning, and their early days saw the band self-release a multitude of small-run 7-inch singles that tapped into their DIY leanings and allowed forward momentum at maximum velocity.  More songs surfaced on compilations and as limited-release b-sides, while others went into the proverbial vault.
 
In celebration of their 30th anniversary, DOZER enthusiastically present Rewind to Return, a double album of singles, rare tracks and b-sides from across their prolific history. Neither a chronological document nor a comprehensive collection of every non-album track, this is a carefully considered selection of the band's favorites, chosen for their meaning and impact, brilliantly remastered by Karl Daniel Lidén and assembled to create the best possible record to commemorate DOZER’s vast catalog and untouchable legacy.
