You ready for the Doom Charts Peroration for October? It will be hitting the airwaves soon enough! But right here, right now, you can already get into some quick action! Some Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday action! A quick blurb with the 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!
Ronin Veins – Rabbit Fat
“‘Rabbit Fat’ was recorded across The Hive Rooms and RYP Recordings - and mastered at the legendary AIR Studios…” Wait… The HiVe rooms you say?! That surely peaked our interest in the new single by Londen quartet Ronin Veins. Damn fine bandname! As for Rabbit Fat, the mix of alternative rock with a bit of grunge, a bit of stoner, and a bit of AOR metal definitely has a ring to it! And with them building a community, launching Rust Fest and connecting with all sorts of underground bands, Ronin Veins are on the road to become an important entity!

Ghost Pipe – Spirit Speaks
Another single comes at us from Ghost Pipe, a five-piece from Grand Rapids, Michigan. “Spirit Speaks” is a sonic rite, a plunge into the soul’s underworld, where old hurts, guides, and ancestral spirits gather. Pulsing riffs and a raw, ritual cry ignite a cleansing release, turning sorrow into power. A journey for those who walk with spirits and reclaim their hidden fire...
Black Weedow – Is She?
Hailing from Lublin, Poland is Black Weedow! And on their first single Is She? they expertly mix alternative rock, grunge with Sabbathian metal. Later joined by a Voice of Poland winner, Is She? introduces Black Weedow’s debut with a brooding blend of doom and grunge, driven by towering riffs and Jarek Żarnowski’s heavy bass foundation. Juan Carlos Cano’s commanding vocals elevate the band’s massive, atmospheric sound, creating a haunting, immersive journey through dark, emotional sonic terrain…
Betty’s Nuklear – Beach Blood
Love the title, love the band name! It’s Betty’s Nuklear from South Africa and their new single Beach Blood! Powerful hardrock riffage and a pumping energy! Indeed, it unleashes their raw hard-rock power, blending fierce vocals, nostalgic shredding, and a pounding rhythm section. Self-produced in their Garden Route studio, the track hits with emotional weight and unfiltered intensity, delivering a bold, honest sound that channels the band’s signature energy and uncompromising spirit. Love the track!
Vulture Neck – Höst
Vulture Neck hails from Stockholm, Sweden and delivers its classic tinged metal, with overtones of doom, sludge and some wicked energy. This stand-alone single is only ten seconds shy of the three minute mark, but luckily you can hit repeat on Höst! It has something, the shouted vocals crawling across the riffs, crawl across you skin immediately. Addictive stuff!
Zana Billionara - Hollow
Another reason I need to visit Wales soon! It’s three piece Zana Billionara and their new single Hollow! Or actually their first official one! Psychedelic and wild, with a definite earthy touch, the track crafts a fierce blend of atmospheric calm and explosive intensity. Gentle, ghostly melodies erupt into chaotic, mind-bending distortion, creating a heady form of hard rock. Rooted in classic influences yet undeniably modern, the sound is nostalgic, visceral, and deeply immersive.

Rolls The River – Love Of Driving
Another sprawling psychedelic ditty hits straight out of New Jersey and is the debut for two-piece Rolls The River and infuses electronics with krautrock, hypnotic pulses, mutant synth clouds, and textures that slither beyond genre. Sure, it’s krautrock, krautrock by way of a midnight highway, psych-rock wired on intuition. The music drifts, mutates, alive, restless, morphing and gloriously unclassifiable.
Black Fuse – White Wolf
As we inch closer to the end of 2025 and the start of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown, we are already starting to glance back at all we missed, forgot or never got around to mention. Like this very early in the year released single (or perhaps even earlier) in honor of the metal bar in Groningen called De Witte Wolf. This is five piece Black Fuse and their thrashy stoner metal ode White Wolf. Dig it! And you might want to check out the rest of their Cosmic Psycho album as well!
