And so are all the bands featured on this little shish kebab! All sizzling hot! And we know, we should do more… For there is so much great music out there, and we cannot ever do it all justice. So we came up with a way to shoot out a quick blurb and hope it will entice you to listen to the single or the entire discography! So here it is… Another Stoner Hive’s Quick Fire Friday ! And it burns hot like molten lava!

 

 

 

Depiedra – Nuestra Tierra

Your stonerrock muscle memory will immediately shoot in the direction of Queens Of The Stone Age by hearing that opening salvo of the new Depiedra track Nuestra Tierra. The steamy Chilean quartet is back with a scorcher. And very soon there will be more of this holy, wholesome and atavistic stonerrock fire coming our way! For the release of their Las Eras album is just around the corner...

 Jamie Zarfas – Vacant Stare

Multi-instrumentalist Jamie Zarfas has a project called Dreaming Apparition featuring poet Shane Beck and Kevin Erhardt-Hansen delivering all the music, except for the guitar and bass. And on Vacant Stare the three produce a psychedelic and mostly ambient trip. World music influences, jazzed up progression and freak out guitar work set you up for the astral poetry Shane Beck is known for. Mind music for the open minded!

Mud Valley – Mud Valley

The sleepy village of Dourdan, France is home to five-piece Mud Valley. After having played in various other bands, they’ve been jamming together for some three years and they recently released their first three track self-titled EP. Stoner, doom and sludge all mixed like a dirty bucket of slush, it oozes and it slithers and it slides its way into your head. Still somewhat of an enigma online, when the EP was released they are slowly creeping out of that void, and will drag you with them back into the swamp… Where they lick and dance with the hypnotoad!

 Alien Sun – Seconds To Midnight

Alien Sun is the project by Italy born Fabio Epifani. Now living in London, the multi-instrumentalist delivers this new Seconds To Midnight album as a sonic translation or everything surrounding the seemingly inevitable end of everything. The Doomsday Clock moves ever closer to midnight, and the decline of everything human is ever felt. Progressive and post-rock clash with touches of doom, stoner and freak metal. Fusion of the heavy and harrowing kind!

Maliciouz – Tortoise

Maliciouz is another one man operation for ya! And Tortoise is his newest release. Michael "Maliciouz" Muckow is responsible for all Guitars, Bass and Drums and stomps it all down like glacial moving doom. A bit of funeral marching and some sludge molasses and you quickly get the idea the album title wasn’t chosen at random! It’s instrumental and that leaves room for your own wailing. And after almost an hour of plodding movement the light of the guitar in The End feels like the perfect finale to the crossing you've made…

Scorched Earth – Bloodspill EP

If you’re in the market for some grainy yet melodic, progressive death metal, look no further than Scorched Earth! The Greek five piece turn their modern sounding metal into something groovy and implore touches from early nineties and late eighties whenever the track calls for it. A thirty second intro kicks off the EP and the five tracks that follow make the Bloodspill EP blast by…

Buzzards of Babylon – Ancient Machine

Back in May they released the first single Molten Bigfoot for their upcoming EP or album. And back in July they dropped Ancient Machine. It’s the Buzzards of Babylon, and the five from Fife, Scotland are finally working on a follow-up to that full-sized Micrometeoroid Modulation album from 2018. At least, we hope something more is in the works, for their stoner metal incorporates the perfect amount of nineties and southern styled metal, which means it’s got groove, style and a lot that will have you thirsting for more…

Gnarwhal – Circuits

And we end this enticing Quick Fire Friday with a big teaser… But hey, September 10th is just around the corner. And that as it turns out, is the release date for the new Gnarwhal single Circuits! You know the band! They delivered that awesome Altered States EP last year. And this one single is already carrying over so much of that heavy goodness, one cannot help but feel giddy with anticipation for what might be in store next. The almost five minutes long Circuits has an enigmatic and atmospheric soaring lead, while underneath you get this gnarly and crunchy power riffing. And with that ambient ending, it sounds like something highly enveloping might be in the works… A teasing end of this Quick Fire Friday and a cliffhanger for the full-length album coming March 2026. Go check out Altered States now and check back for Circuits in a few weeks.. .
