Stoner Hive’s Quick Fire Friday
Put on some groove resistant gear, flex your muscles, get your laptop, your computer, your phone (whatever), open a can of lager (or another preferred beverage), add some chips and get the party started by checking out a brand new Quick Fire Friday. Lots of doom and stoner coming your way, as well as a dash of punk and even an admirable cover of one of Mark Lanegan's songs. So, don't wait any longer and dive into this pit of darkness served to you on a beat-up plate we unearthed somewhere in the heavy underground...
Desértica - MobyDick
Desértica is an instrumental psychedelic stoner/doom outfit from La Plata, Argentina that takes you on a 50 minute interstellar trip through time and space on what appears to be their debut album 'MobyDick'. Only three tracks with each one clocking in at way over ten minutes, with closer 'Desértica' almost touching the twenty minute mark, yet there isn't a dull moment in sight. Indeed a stellar album.

American Heat - Too Much Heat
American Heat isn't here to reinvent the wheel on their debut ep. Hell no, they come at you with scorching heavy rock that will have fans of Clutch, Mississippi Bones and Gay Paris salivating with joy. Raw as sandpaper and catchy as fuck. Combine those two and you're in for some kinky kind of lovemaking, courtesy of two guys from the state of Ohio.
Ries and Mies from Leiderdorp, The Netherlands, have been operating as Helleveeg and Krush, but have decided to change their name to HooR, in honour of Orange Goblin's Joe Hoare. 'Delicate Tonen' (Delicate Tones) is a title not to be taken too seriously, as this is a ferocious, no holds barred mix of stoner and punk with Dutch lyrics that have a unique take on more or less serious social themes, brought to you with a healthy (over)dose of humour.
Mientras Las Abejas Duermen - Los hijos perdidos de Umrica / Cruz del Tajo
Mientras Las Abejas Duermen is a band form Cadiz spain that recently released a two-track ep through underground label
Estudio Mazmorra. '
Los hijos perdidos de Umrica' starts the proceedings and is a thumping amalgamation of stoner and doom that comes storming at you in a dust cloud of desert sand. A fantastic song that demands to be heard. Second track '
Cruz de Tajo' is a short, quiet instrumental that swirls and swerves around an axis of percussion and engulfs you with a perfect atmosphere for coming down and lets you realise what the hell just happened. One of the coolest singles released in quite a while.
Void & The Nothingness - Ride Out / Witching Hour
After releasing a surprisingly good debut album a year ago, Germany's Void & The Nothingness are back with a two track ep of traditional doom. A deep, dragging sound lures you into their world, while the hypnotising clean singing functions as the icing on the cake. 'Ride Out / Witching Hour' is an enjoyable second stop and could lead them to underground stardom sooner than one might expect.
Arabbia - Trimurti
This EP was released back in October, but deserves to be mentioned here. Arabbia is a stoner rock power trio from Brazil that knows how to lay down the grooves and spit them in the collective face of mankind. Nice detail: the three band members share vocal duties, with all three being capable singers. That'll leave a lot of bands envious, ready to chase Arabbia's tale like a horde of revved-up boogie vans.
Bärlin - Resurrection Song
If there ever was a band capable of covering a
Mark Lanegan song the right way, it would be French alternative rockers
Bärlin. They recorded a beautiful version of '
Resurrection Song' - one of the bonus tracks that comes with buying '
Mook Lanegan', an
Exit Musik fanzine special dedicated entirely to the legendary singer and songwriter. You can order the magazine
HERE (in French).
David Kent - Fairweather Friend
And to close this episode of Quick Fire Friday on a more energetic note, we present you the new single by David Kent, released through Glory or Death Records. It's a weird, slightly chaotic mix of stoner, sludge, heavy psych and glam rock that's got a presence all its own. Dive in and experience is the way to go. Once you've done that, you'll probably find exactly what you need.
This Quick Fire Friday segment was brought to you entirely by our very own poet: Ronny Dijksterhuis.
