But after listening to the new four-track release called <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Undead Invaders Born To Die In A Maze</span></i> you can safely assume that there was at least one still alive in the eighties and still very much alive today! It’s the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Hypnosaur</span>! And we’ve been following that telekinetic wonder lizard ever since hearing its damn amazing <i><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/06/hypnosaur-doomsday.html" target="_blank">Doomsday</a></i> album back in 2023. The sound of that record which implored a lot of Ghost touches, glam metal and other wonderful eighties influences is still present on the new release <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Undead Invaders Born To Die In A Maze</span></i>. This time however we hear it on opening track <i>Undead</i> to some extent, which uses chilling guttural crocodile vocals to get its message across. Turning into operatic sequence here and there and becoming highly catchy and poppy during the refrains and whenever they are building towards them. It is also very very very present on third track <i>Born To Die</i>, with its Dracula toned keywork, and a vocalist that stretches every part of his range and ability. Hooks a plenty and lovely guitarwork, and all of that is secondary to that majestic keyboard sound. Haunting, yet o’ so lovely and very hypnotic! Every song title is part of the four track EP Title, for the translation for <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/12/stoner-hives-quick-fire-weekend.html" target="_blank"><i>Inwazja z Plutona</i></a> is <i>Invaders From Pluto</i>. That’s right, second track, <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/12/stoner-hives-quick-fire-weekend.html" target="_blank">first single and cover</a> from the band <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/12/stoner-hives-quick-fire-weekend.html" target="_blank">Kombi</a></span>, <i><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/12/stoner-hives-quick-fire-weekend.html" target="_blank">Inwazja z Plutona</a></i>, is the Invaders part of the title and was mentioned on the <i><span style="color: #f1c232;">HiVe</span></i> back in <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/12/stoner-hives-quick-fire-weekend.html" target="_blank">December</a> and misses that Ghost touch but substitutes that for some delicious stonerized eighties synth-pop. A voice eerily resembling the original vocalist and an infectious rhythm will have you searching for your dancing shoes in no time. But before you get your groove on, it’s time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I am all out of gum. <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqOlan7zmYI" target="_blank">The Maze</a></i> ends this EP with a few momentary vocal touchstones that remind of something more eighties postpunk related before going forth with the eighties metal schematics. Musically so light-footed, lyrically so dark. Musically energetic and uplifting, as much as the classic rock from yore, with all instruments in service of the vocals, which translate so much of those dark lyrics into a rainbow colored labyrinth. And those drums, wicked! O’ and don’t be afraid to check out their videos on YouTube, ranging from amazing to hilarious, to boldly showing off their musical ability, and their stunning good looks, the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Hypnosaur</span> four know how to work the camera! And specially check out <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqOlan7zmYI" target="_blank">The Maze</a></i>! Shot in honor of all those great classic Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem and Doom games… Mein leben! Indeed, the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Hypnosaur</span> has humor, got style, a lot of eighties love and the ability to turn it all into a kaleidoscopic catchy rock diamond! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=27420702/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://hypnosaur.bandcamp.com/album/undead-invaders-born-to-die-in-a-maze">Undead Invaders Born to Die in a Maze by Hypnosaur</a></iframe><br /><a href="https://hypnosaur.bandcamp.com/album/undead-invaders-born-to-die-in-a-maze" target="_blank"><br />Bandcamp</a><br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/hypnosaur" target="_blank"><br />LinkTree</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hypnosaur/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hypnosaur666/" target="_blank"><br />Instagram</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hypnosaur666/" target="_blank">Youtube</a><br /><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdm0Niz1KdZTjdpXIPv0NOf-c91G7Q88wn-IVmiNsX_9yn-HpZfBUaE9xZoFps3wOSMg0tVUyMnuMQyZcGDeYpoqQ5_aZSs-U30Wgq8hh3Gmihi6vpPlMH6vQlLyRxbNVfAxxUIacFZirpwfr94O2aG1FhGI5uY1l6mg-30xUZoIAzT_IKMfYdtRSAx70/s1200/HYP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdm0Niz1KdZTjdpXIPv0NOf-c91G7Q88wn-IVmiNsX_9yn-HpZfBUaE9xZoFps3wOSMg0tVUyMnuMQyZcGDeYpoqQ5_aZSs-U30Wgq8hh3Gmihi6vpPlMH6vQlLyRxbNVfAxxUIacFZirpwfr94O2aG1FhGI5uY1l6mg-30xUZoIAzT_IKMfYdtRSAx70/s320/HYP.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-82469279455111223482024-03-15T13:00:00.002+01:002024-03-15T13:00:45.415+01:00Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH5GAbuJCDErB7jXV3QPRyq63ZzvBExpohFSvopIliNDl4o-X9gpoTHEYo72I3jfK6ap0pT3O23no5sAaK0T0Z7Z1AZX03wb982-DPMx2IdnS_-YIfW5XU76Mkoh1tM7wU6-AYZkKyCz5470MjWnHCDjnSMCin4fo6EeVjt7NpA8gEcIY3yex9GBrPTK0/s1920/QuickFireFriday2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH5GAbuJCDErB7jXV3QPRyq63ZzvBExpohFSvopIliNDl4o-X9gpoTHEYo72I3jfK6ap0pT3O23no5sAaK0T0Z7Z1AZX03wb982-DPMx2IdnS_-YIfW5XU76Mkoh1tM7wU6-AYZkKyCz5470MjWnHCDjnSMCin4fo6EeVjt7NpA8gEcIY3yex9GBrPTK0/s320/QuickFireFriday2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #f1c232;">Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday</span></i></span><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Is that the first <i><span style="color: #f1c232;">Quick Fire Friday</span></i> of 2024?

Well, we’re here now. And ready to spread the good word on a truckload of heavy releases! We usually mention singles and EP’s, but sometimes an older album as well! And you know why we do this.

Doom metal, stonerrock, sludge and roll and with such a majestic groove that you will be headbanging as that very first break commences and that groove starts and after that, you are hooked and won’t stop banging along! And then the vocals kick in, immediately taking it into proto and classic heavy metal territory.

Nope, there’s more! And so, we invite you all for another premiere right now, this very evening! It’s the new single and video<i><span style="font-size: large;"> Ghost of The Lupatia</span></i> by the Medford, Oregon three called <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Elk Witch</span>. It’s the second single for their new album <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Azimuth</span></i> which will be released through <span style="font-size: large;">Majestic Mountain Records</span> on April 12. We’re equally grateful to be able to present this wild rocker to you all. A gorgeous video to accompany their mountainous metal and shimmering stonerrock, a song that carries with it, a very own atmosphere and setting, expressive and emotive. And so does the video. I love dogs. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="210" src="https://youtube.com/embed/Fb1QgjYKCn4?si=8p1mq6UDyP4-Gt9f" width="380"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br />Deven Andersen, vocalist and guitarist of <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Elk Witch</span>, comments: <br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">“<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Ghosts of the Lupatia</i></span> was written after our bass player Darren Wostenberg came in with the idea about this specific shipwreck that occurred in the 1800’s off the coast of Oregon, a tragedy that claimed the lives of the entire crew. The area is a part of the “Graveyard of the Pacific” and is known for shipwrecks and watery deaths. It’s shrouded in ghostly legends of phantom ships and lifeboats emerging from the dark mists. In the 1800’s death was closer for those who ventured to the edges of the known world and people died much younger. We wanted to try capture that vibe with this song.”<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /> About the album: <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">“<i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Azimuth </span></i>is a natural progression from our first album, pushing the ingredients of those songs into a more refined and diverse selection of songs. This time around, we're delving into broader subject matters that extend beyond the earthly realms, exploring both the past and the future of existence. The title '<i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Azimuth</span></i>' felt like the perfect fit, symbolizing direction and serving as the compass that guided us through the album's creation. In terms of sound, we aimed to obtain a sound that was operating at higher sonic level while also achieving clarity but retaining the core sound we have developed. Recording was a process, we spent 20 days tracking and 45 days mixing, with a significant time spent building in some additional underlying layers. Our goal was to enhance the production value compared to our last album, all while staying consistent with delivering original hand-painted artwork for the album cover. We hope all this comes through in finished record.” <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br />Track list: <br /><br />SIDE A:<br />Dead Silence – 4:59 <br />Azimuth– 6:00 <br />Liminal Space – 1:32 <br />Empyrean – 5:35<br /><br />SIDE B:<br />Vortex – 2:41 <br />Universe 25 – 3:23 <br />Space Drift – 4:01 <br />Ghosts of the Lupatia – 5:05 <br />Goddess of Winter – 4:36 <br /><br />Credits:<br /> <br />Deven Andersen ~ Guitar / Vocals <br />Darren Wostenberg ~ Bass <br />Joe Coitus ~ Drums <br />Produced by: Elk Witch <br />Engineered by: Deven Andersen <br />Mixed by: Deven Andersen <br />Recorded & Mixed at Vortex Studios – Central Point, Oregon <br />Mastered by: Dan Coutant at Sun Room Audio – New Windsor, New York @srmmastering <br />Album Cover: Adam Burke @nightjarillustration <br />Gatefold Images: @Nibera and @Jadoarts <br />Gatefold Layout & Graphics: Deven Andersen<br /><a href="https://www.elkwitchband.com/" target="_blank"><br />Elk Witch Website</a><br /><a href="https://elkwitch.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"><br />Bandcamp</a><br /><a href="https://songwhip.com/elkwitch" target="_blank"><br />Songwhip</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ElkWitch/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/elkwitch/" target="_blank"><br />Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://majesticmountainrecords.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><br />Majestic Mountain Records</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/majesticmountainrecords/" target="_blank">Majestic Mountain Records Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/majesticmountainrecords/" target="_blank"><br />Majestic Mountain Records Instagram</a><br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/Majestic_vinyl" target="_blank">Majestic Mountain Records Twitter</a><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgYTtcTN1LjRBajLIEQ2NW4hVfuR9u0c7tX_ZTLJJattFpQoUqQ9zkXIoJthtA9gI8CDhwzJEXVyqQOtQqS1HyYdqIKC9Fc-F_pqH-p6xyb3kNuBhv7s1wfKk7eGQjLidxqBGdkmDda0-A0U8k5r0QoW5IflcTJ15PP_i78cAVvk54adAP5Q2Qa5yaXr0/s1200/Elkwitch2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgYTtcTN1LjRBajLIEQ2NW4hVfuR9u0c7tX_ZTLJJattFpQoUqQ9zkXIoJthtA9gI8CDhwzJEXVyqQOtQqS1HyYdqIKC9Fc-F_pqH-p6xyb3kNuBhv7s1wfKk7eGQjLidxqBGdkmDda0-A0U8k5r0QoW5IflcTJ15PP_i78cAVvk54adAP5Q2Qa5yaXr0/s320/Elkwitch2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-53840173809654591012024-03-14T07:48:00.004+01:002024-03-14T07:48:59.502+01:00Full Album Premiere – Sons Of Morpheus – Fruits<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoY2BM93Jhjja7T5y0B7P_Tx-GqE1_6GJ00S3N4tkmpoZTx1Q-aq1BcnGnVMAUY7hB9ZrYLO8JDJ8dza8DGbeICGNZb1xC0bSrjXiG5rNrGqrgHxQMg2ag5ntPPMR774RufANhyqZ61pdAoKz92ExvWsR1WUlJLpWN2nZHN9_IjCDsWcCvBia5ebPkHA/s750/SONS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="750" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoY2BM93Jhjja7T5y0B7P_Tx-GqE1_6GJ00S3N4tkmpoZTx1Q-aq1BcnGnVMAUY7hB9ZrYLO8JDJ8dza8DGbeICGNZb1xC0bSrjXiG5rNrGqrgHxQMg2ag5ntPPMR774RufANhyqZ61pdAoKz92ExvWsR1WUlJLpWN2nZHN9_IjCDsWcCvBia5ebPkHA/s320/SONS.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Full Album Premiere – Sons Of Morpheus – Fruits</i></span><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As we already mentioned yesterday, we’re honored to bring to you the full album premiere for <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Fruits</span></i>, by the three amigos from Switzerland called <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sons Of Morpheus</span>.

After that wild psychedelic blues and stoner album called <i>Nemesis</i> from 2017, which was filled with masterful grooves and turned all that grungy o’ so soulful, they are now back with a new album. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Fruits</span></i> as it is called will give you almost a full hour of heaviness. This time around the three go back to their blues roots and use it to dive more into prog rock territory. Although there are definite moments that will remind you of their approach to stonerrock, their love for seventies free rock, freak out blues, psychedelic touches and a bit of garage. In fact, there are a lot of those moments, but because the more prog based influences are bigger than before, it felt right to mention them outright. Indeed, on <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Fruits</span></i>, the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sons Of Morpheus</span> come bearing gifts. Even though it’s us that should be sending them presents, cause 2024 marks their ten year anniversary. And on this festive <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Fruits</span></i> album they use that more prog approach to travel back to their blues roots, cause it all began as a blues rock project called <span style="font-size: large;">Rozbub</span>. Third track <i>Soothe My Soul</i> is perhaps the most obvious blues rocking masterpiece. You know the kind, the diesel blues kind. Seventies guitar work, warm blooded riffs, a masterful bouncy groove, bopping bass, punctuating drums, sometimes funky, sometimes choppy and a bit jazzy, it’s all there and it will surely soothe your soul! And after your soul is all at ease and preparing to surf the magnetic currents of blues based bliss, it gets jogged violently awake by fourth track, punky rocker <i>Braindead</i>. Stomping its message home, with that fierce refrain and vocals that will mill around your head for the rest of the week. <i>Running</i>, is that free rock kind of music, propellent and reverie inducing. Or what the Kamchatka three would call: Freak Blues. Invoking the spirit of both Vaughan and Hendrix, these three minutes of motoring blues are like the one unlucky drink that shoves a wavering alcoholic off the wagon. If you weren’t completely enamored with <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sons Of Morpheus</span> before <i>Running</i>, this one will surely get you. But you were probably already feeling goosebumps from that first tracks. Cause those were the seminal prog based tracks, the influence stretches out over all of them in some way or form, but single <i>Hello Stranger</i> and opener <i>Capstan</i> both combine that prog with stoner and psych and make it all as grandiose as possible. And did we mention <i>Smoke & Trash</i> yet? That second track of the album, sporting splendid multiple vocals, a very contemplative opening, soon turning into this thunderstorm, that whirls and builds and finally comes to that most blissful of breaks. You will be ready. And you will soar once they kick back in. Expertly done and a moment of pure euphoria. And that’s what this entire album seems to be kicking around a lot, euphoric prog moments and blissful blues, balanced and intriguing. This is quite the celebratory album for <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sons Of Morpheus</span>! Congratulations! <br /><br />And hey! You can already listen to two singles on the <span style="font-size: large;">Sixteentimes Music</span> bandcamp right now!

I often feel less equipped to deal with that sort of aural devastation. My tastebuds are more accustomed to the less harsh albums floating around the heavy underground. And I reckon a few of my fellow <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://doomcharts.com/" target="_blank">Doom Charts</a></span> crazies, like mix master Chris Tighe (<a href="https://www.themightydecibel.com/" target="_blank">The Mighty Decibel</a>), cool Justin Wittenmeier (<a href="https://metal-temple.com/" target="_blank">Metal Temple</a>, <a href="https://doomed4metal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">DoomedForMetal</a>), the brand new kid on the block Eric Crowe (<a href="https://doomsayerrecords.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Doomsayer Records</a> / <a href="https://www.haloofthegoat.com/" target="_blank">Halo Of The Goat Radio</a>) or old hand Steve Woodier (<a href="https://www.anointingthesick.com/" target="_blank">Anointing The Sick</a>), are better at appreciating and assessing the quality of certain albums from those genres. But after pressing play on the new <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Death Beat</span></i> album by the Russian three called <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Dekonstruktor</span>, I immediately was hooked on all those, errr, hooks. Hooked on their grind. Their approach to the earlier mentioned genres implores an abundance of groove and melody, even if those are on occasion subterranean and surrendered to the noise on top. Almost all of the tracks implore some stomping doom or a droning element that will get you into a white-out kind of daze. But they all switch it up with industrial moments, sludgecore and noise elements. And all of that sounds harsh, but for some reason, as we stated earlier on, the amount of groove and melody turns these over forty minutes of white-out, black, death, doom, into something desirable and addictive. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Death Beat</span></i> is full of life and it will sharpen your senses… <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=91421484/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://dekonstruktor.bandcamp.com/album/death-beat">Death Beat by Dekonstruktor</a></iframe><br /><a href="https://dekonstruktor.bandcamp.com/album/death-beat" target="_blank"><br />Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://pestis-insaniae.net/dekonstruktor/" target="_blank">Homepage</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Dekonstruktorband/?locale=en_GB" target="_blank"><br />Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dekonstruktor_band/" target="_blank"><br />Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://noname666.bandcamp.com/album/death-beat" target="_blank"><br />Addicted Label Bandcamp</a><br /><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC5ApNFL_PwstVVmKyoJjHwI49BuboJwbQI3J9FRQKPJg9QYvVPVO59muPyUl5L1e1Usz9btIGh1d9SAaIgE8gecnoMX-h4mEkjAbtd1jf7tz3bFZSk37r6RI63Im69Yu_-qsMLF_k-phkhEt-EhyphenhyphenyrO24unK0IAkPk65WvJIXZcTWZV0nKcYeJ4DHQ70/s1200/dekon2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC5ApNFL_PwstVVmKyoJjHwI49BuboJwbQI3J9FRQKPJg9QYvVPVO59muPyUl5L1e1Usz9btIGh1d9SAaIgE8gecnoMX-h4mEkjAbtd1jf7tz3bFZSk37r6RI63Im69Yu_-qsMLF_k-phkhEt-EhyphenhyphenyrO24unK0IAkPk65WvJIXZcTWZV0nKcYeJ4DHQ70/s320/dekon2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-21150726637763268062024-03-12T19:59:00.002+01:002024-03-12T19:59:19.891+01:00Chelsea Wolfe – She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilmSTUulDIpTcIQNxV-Qhu07Em2FCjM0QGRkMc5boExr1PuJ6qIFcuZMNL8-1aV9G17eVtPBtRmIyEeVpn82URe_vPQSXwiYhlv7g2zs70XPqm1AQVIReIy9alRNZNclklDyAwtrkUsPFL0njQpCIThoq1AWi2NOiSB6YVYO2lnKf3-1zBVRhM9eGLvQ/s1200/Chelase.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilmSTUulDIpTcIQNxV-Qhu07Em2FCjM0QGRkMc5boExr1PuJ6qIFcuZMNL8-1aV9G17eVtPBtRmIyEeVpn82URe_vPQSXwiYhlv7g2zs70XPqm1AQVIReIy9alRNZNclklDyAwtrkUsPFL0njQpCIThoq1AWi2NOiSB6YVYO2lnKf3-1zBVRhM9eGLvQ/s320/Chelase.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Chelsea Wolfe – She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She<br />V2 / Loma Vista – 2024<br />Alternative, Doom, Industrial, Darkwave, Triphop<br />Rated: ***<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We haven’t been mentioning everything <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Chelsea Wolfe </span>has been putting out over the years and as usual, we know we should have, cause there hasn’t been a miss among those releases. That amazing <i>Hiss Spun</i> album from 2017 for instance or the one we did mention called <i><a href=" https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2019/11/chelsea-wolfe-birth-of-violence.html" target="_blank">Birth Of Violence</a></i> from <a href=" https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2019/11/chelsea-wolfe-birth-of-violence.html" target="_blank">2019</a>. Well, the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Wolfe</span> has returned and she’s back with what she calls a rebirth. With an album title that refers to her past, present and future. To leave behind what has come and gone and move forward. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She</span></i> is a powerfully cathartic statement about cutting ties, as well as an important reminder that healing is cyclical and circular, and not a simple linear process. She has not just been cutting away the dead wood, the wrong people and the ugliness that might hold her back. She’s also decided to try even more avenues of approach towards the heaviness she likes to use as a vehicle for her poetry. This time around there’s some Industrial, Triphop and Electronica to produce those atmospheres we love from the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Wolfe</span>. Lyrics wise it is definitely dark again, but with a feeling of understanding and her own sliver of hope. And her musical experimentation often drifts over to a lighter and almost generic approach. Hinting a bit at some of Björk’s triphop drifts or electropop that could easily be discovered by the masses. There’s agitation here, unrest, no easy listening, yet whenever that feeling dissipates there’s room for some acceptance and calm. And even though this album might turn out to be a favorite for many, I cannot help feeling that I would rather hear her drift more towards the sludge metal she did with <span style="font-size: large;">Converge</span>. But that’s probably just me, hoping for an album that’s perfect for me, and that’s not what <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Chelsea Wolfe </span>is about.

You want to know for which album, check in tomorrow evening or Wednesday morning, when we put up the review for that album! It’s stunning! And check out them Top 10 Most Listened artists above, cause all those albums are amazing as well! And besides those 10, we also put up the <span style="font-size: large;"><i><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-february-2024-doom-charts-40-to-26.html" target="_blank">Stoner Hype</a></i></span> post which blurbs about the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-february-2024-doom-charts-40-to-26.html" target="_blank">Number 40 to 26</a></span> from that month’s <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-february-2024-doom-charts-40-to-26.html" target="_blank">Doom Charts</a></span>.

We even did a <span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">Rancho De La Luna</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Month</span> early on in our little existence. And even though the main man behind <span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">Full Tone Generator</span> hails from Melbourne, Australia, the band has close ties to everything <span style="font-size: large;">Rancho</span>. The first album <i>Valley Of The Universe</i> featured none other than <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/search/label/Brant%20Bjork" target="_blank">Brant Bjork</a></span> on drums, their <i>Never To Return</i> live-album had <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2015/11/interview-nick-oliveri.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Nick Oliveri</span></a> on bass and their new one, out since a week, is called <i><span style="color: #ffd966;">Refuge of Sinners</span></i> and was recorded in the fabled desert hideaway recording studio. Yes sir, a studio in the desert and a true <i><span style="color: #ffd966;">Refuge of Sinners</span></i>. Produced by the band and master chef <span style="font-size: large;">Dave Catching</span>, <i><span style="color: #ffd966;">Refuge of Sinners</span></i> sports nine tracks that all exhume that magical <span style="font-size: large;">Rancho</span> vibe, the desert punk attitude and that stoner rocking sound of yore. Indeed, the <span style="font-size: large;">Kyuss</span> low hanging groove here, <span style="font-size: large;">Mondo Generator</span> speediness there and a whole lotta love for the good and heavy stuff. This is what happens when you put four good ol’ boys from Australia with a penchant for the <span style="font-size: large;">Palm Desert</span> sound into their most longed for environment and studio. And we should leave them there, so they can produce more of this wild and wonderful ruckus. <i>Kenny</i>, starting the show with that dark and uncanny tone, languidly traversing through a noisy and overdriven landscape, the coyote like guitar howling. <i>Take Me</i>, pushing the needle down, that wild beginning, the rumbling drums, producing a smash and grab attitude, before the guitars kick in and those vocals bring it all home. With a spirit and attitude that hangs somewhere between <span style="font-size: large;">Garcia</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">Oliveri</span>, those vocals make this two-minutes-and-twenty-seconds-long rocker, that perfect ripper, that banging almost road rage inducing driving song. Single <i>Juan Carlos</i> has been your go to atavistic stonerrock tune since June 2023 right? It has been for me! For it gives you, out of this world pure and unadulterated generator party heaviness. Fourth track <i>The Snake Charmer</i> can perhaps best be seen as a one minute interlude with those atmospheric <span style="font-size: large;">Rancho</span> sounds. It does set the scene nicely for middle track and longest cut, <i>Find Out</i>. A mighty flow, that slowly builds through as much of the stoner and desert rock you experience before this track arrived; but also incorporating that seventies touch. Bluesy by default, this track will not bring you down, but will make you fly, soar through endless starry sky. Following <i>Don’t Even Know You</i> continues in that vein, <i>Yeah Hey</i> delivers fight music for the fight after which we come to <i>Dark Eyes</i>. A thoughtful song that sports more emotional singing, almost going off the rails even and a second line of female vocals. Would love to know who the guest vocalist on this track is, but for now, that’s still a mystery. They finish the album by reprising it for one and half minute, painting a deep and reflective atmosphere, which turns into a fitting ending for this beautiful little refuge of an album.. <br /></div><div><br /><br /><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1425494595/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://hurricanemusic1.bandcamp.com/album/full-tone-generator-refuge-of-sinners">Full Tone Generator - Refuge Of Sinners by Hurricane Music</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://hurricanemusic1.bandcamp.com/album/full-tone-generator-refuge-of-sinners" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Full-Tone-Generator/100057454213621/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/full_tone_generator/" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://goldenrobotrecords.com/golden-robot-records/full-tone-generator/" target="_blank"><br />Golden Robot Records</a><br /><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8iQoDQnWahdTs0nLARDJfc-khbWu4M_BBMdxmHkPVXwBGl0pW1FnNHDAO2Fhr4H4tkia3Jr2y5cGlJGomvjV4cEQQBk13x9iD5SmPCx1Y8VwaeEfYGGzbQVcO3FmkOpcOOvI86NpyKKa83_D0UaX-Im_zjthAVJmmrv-n1U6HHLEfH1XvtL9NjJKSZhk/s1200/Fulltone21.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8iQoDQnWahdTs0nLARDJfc-khbWu4M_BBMdxmHkPVXwBGl0pW1FnNHDAO2Fhr4H4tkia3Jr2y5cGlJGomvjV4cEQQBk13x9iD5SmPCx1Y8VwaeEfYGGzbQVcO3FmkOpcOOvI86NpyKKa83_D0UaX-Im_zjthAVJmmrv-n1U6HHLEfH1XvtL9NjJKSZhk/s320/Fulltone21.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p></div>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-35274026508232587322024-03-09T09:37:00.000+01:002024-03-09T09:37:08.154+01:00Appalachian Death Cult – Welcome To The Cult<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTKmGJaxiNerN1AzJd91QIrFemr025C9NUvn66SXebWtPDCdZuLMnMMSH53tigk5PHcdjxhtdcch0Nplmw6OJ8A39mDJPymCGiNfZy0-sO7uGP06Tz7dU4t1kdB4t0SMVGPVr-KZQ0-EKEbJI-dQEzkVPIVUKMHcmIFfma1fI5rYtnV0QlMxDG4wvM71c/s1200/APPA.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="917" data-original-width="1200" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTKmGJaxiNerN1AzJd91QIrFemr025C9NUvn66SXebWtPDCdZuLMnMMSH53tigk5PHcdjxhtdcch0Nplmw6OJ8A39mDJPymCGiNfZy0-sO7uGP06Tz7dU4t1kdB4t0SMVGPVr-KZQ0-EKEbJI-dQEzkVPIVUKMHcmIFfma1fI5rYtnV0QlMxDG4wvM71c/s320/APPA.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Appalachian Death Cult – Welcome To The Cult<br />Self released – 2023<br />Rock, Stoner, Doom, Metal, Psych <br />Rated: ***<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are plenty of cults within our little niche called the Heavy Underground. And all of them want to welcome you into their midst of course. You know, so they can steal your money, your blood and your soul! It would not be a cult if they didn’t. But there are few that are as inviting as that sparkling new one out of the Johnson, Tennessee called <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Appalachian Death Cult</span>. That’s right, they’ve gone as far as calling their debut four track EP <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Welcome To The Cult</span></i>. Released almost a year ago, they deliver their truth in the form of some seriously cultivated and misty stoner doom. Hazy and psychedelic by default it shotguns their smokey tunes direct into your lungs. The three tracks featured on their bandcamp site (yes, there’s a secret fourth track) all share the same denominator, namely: drugs! Odes to shrooms, to getting high and living high are all there, filled with muggy riffs and sloth like rhythms, these tracks are there for you to consume and to space out to. The radio and speech snippets are excellent, but that banjo is pure heaven! Especially on opening track <i>Bag of Shrooms</i>, the way it trickles through the entire track, sheer perfection and a ticket to the Appalachian Paradise. Or at least as close as you can get to that by dipping into a bag of something and listening to <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Appalachian Death Cult</span>.

Around the same time the four from <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Satori Junk</span> started jamming somewhere near the many urban landfill sites of the wonderful but bandaged city. Those dubious smells and drifting grime have always been an inspiration for Satori Junk. Just listen to their earlier <i><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2015/03/satori-junk-satori-junk.html" target="_blank">self-titled record</a></i> from <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2015/03/satori-junk-satori-junk.html" target="_blank">2015</a> or <i><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2018/04/satori-junk-golden-dwarf.html" target="_blank">The Golden Dwarf</a> </i>from <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2018/04/satori-junk-golden-dwarf.html" target="_blank">2018</a>. But it might be ever so clearer for the new one track suite called <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Venezia</span></i>. Inspired by all that human created filth and those questionable aromas they must see and sniff every time they enter their rehearsal space, they felt drawn to what happened in Venice all the way back in 1630. As the plague rushed through the canals and alleys of the city, killing approximately 50.000 people, the people searched for meaning and for a way to fight the disease. That horrific piece of history is translated into some damned beautiful music, that borders on going full prog rock constantly and especially during the ending segment. The rising tones, the guitar solo climbing towards the sunlight above, signifying the triumph over the disease. Damned beautiful music indeed. Damned, for not only the dubious sites around Milan and the old plague tale from Venice inspired the four <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Satori Junk</span>ies, Covid was surely and inspiration as well. For they started recording as the Covid pandemic hit Milan, and the first lockdown was announced. And that menacing and uncertain quality of what the future might hold can be heard throughout the first segments of <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Venezia</span></i>. Charming, yet forlorn piano work offsetting these parts and signaling the flowing of the diseased ridden tides of Venice.

And we were honored to do a <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/02/international-premiere-empty-full-space.html" target="_blank">premiere</a> of their opening, title track <i>From The Limbo</i> with five other sites back in early <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/02/international-premiere-empty-full-space.html" target="_blank">February</a>. Since then, two other singles have been released and on <span style="font-size: large;">March 20th</span>, the full album will be set free and will start to fill every little piece of the universe with its psychedelic current and its spacerock ocean. Most of the songs slowly wash over you like languid waves upon a distant and warm beach. But then there’s second track <i>Morphogene</i>, which contains those waves as well, uses surf rock elements and pipe riding images to deliver this most wild, trippy, energetic and highly danceable of krautrock masterpieces ever to be unleashed upon the world. With its Eastern themes and those ever returning drum and beats, this is the krautrock meant for small, packed rooms of festivals, a mass of throbbing people, all glassy-eyed, making sweat drip from the walls and the widows extend outwards with their collective energy. Opening track <i>From The Limbo</i> already led up to this, slowcoring its way to a more energetic ending, building momentum and gearing up for <i>Morphogene</i>. It is a duo of highlights early on the album. An album that takes a more exploratory and galaxy sailing approach to their spacerock after that riveting beginning. <i>The Wheel</i> still packs a powerful punch in the middle, but it mostly has this dragged out hypnotic, Britpop reminiscent, fuzzed out and overdriven sound that leaves a warm and constantly glowing feeling. <i>Amnesia</i> even leans towards a doom touch, before garage, trip and grunge rocking your bones with the interlude and then imploring those doom sounds, until kicking things into overdrive again. Wait, what are the various parts, this composition is so dynamic and swirling, you might lose track. You might lose your way. You might lose your mind. Certainly during that end spurt! Cooling it down with another more Beta Band resonant <i>Have You Seen The Witch?</i> The gentle nod, the cool vibe, you almost hope they never speed up again and keep looking for the dubious enchantress forever. The heavier toned <i>2C</i> ends the album in fine form, exploding first and then expanding until it occupies the entire sonic landscape. No void left, no spot left blank or vacant, it’s all occupied by the vast and masterful sounds of <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Empty Full Space</span>! <br /> <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=773928823/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://spindarecords.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-limbo">From the limbo by Empty Full Space</a></iframe><br /><a href="https://emptyfullspace.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-limbo" target="_blank"><br />Bandcamp</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emptyfullspace" target="_blank"><br />Instagram</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/emptyfullspace/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://spindarecords.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-limbo" target="_blank"><br />Spinda Records Bandcamp</a><br /><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVLxSdhJrYL11ZnWNVHc07q287fkytR6We_tKPCca3hISgUDkJlxjwIPrJbWZX0teT1mbP7N-ZoYz6br2tk0qdWJjb0rKuBD1gQjPWV31zznZVhPLcnqdN0HXD3RITaHPSKPcDalevj-fSjiduzRPskEVhyphenhyphenGqP9HKHmwG8sfu11a8aJjr0Xsn4pxeVOk/s800/Empty2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVLxSdhJrYL11ZnWNVHc07q287fkytR6We_tKPCca3hISgUDkJlxjwIPrJbWZX0teT1mbP7N-ZoYz6br2tk0qdWJjb0rKuBD1gQjPWV31zznZVhPLcnqdN0HXD3RITaHPSKPcDalevj-fSjiduzRPskEVhyphenhyphenGqP9HKHmwG8sfu11a8aJjr0Xsn4pxeVOk/s320/Empty2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-25098319235498867732024-03-07T15:26:00.000+01:002024-03-07T15:26:05.406+01:00Love For Loud Fest<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQBlGk32x53gz7SoBWN0MMnbHlBd4w6O1pK-Vi-X76-d_rdvo9jLtoy3jXYS4R4XsoiMCRXH5dCrxYye6T8ri1ZtXAySt7SV8Ac9udKi8Ks-qtW8iQsayBU_dP3rC1-PMZv0atUpmfzDj2IwGKVN4JxHUwTtuVmJR728OFzFcOIGxjg4Gl6aJOe5Khqi8/s1920/loveforLoud.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1366" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQBlGk32x53gz7SoBWN0MMnbHlBd4w6O1pK-Vi-X76-d_rdvo9jLtoy3jXYS4R4XsoiMCRXH5dCrxYye6T8ri1ZtXAySt7SV8Ac9udKi8Ks-qtW8iQsayBU_dP3rC1-PMZv0atUpmfzDj2IwGKVN4JxHUwTtuVmJR728OFzFcOIGxjg4Gl6aJOe5Khqi8/s320/loveforLoud.jpg" width="228" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Love For Loud Fest</span></i></span><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The honorable <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Els Bruinewoud</span> has been in the booking and management scene of the heavy underground in one way or another for ages but decided to strike out on her own over a year and a few moons ago. Her philosophy is one of pure philanthropic love for the underground, the music and the bands is encapsulated by the name she chose: <span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Love For Loud</span></i></span>. Trying to organize all concerts and festivals in a way that all proceeds go to the ones performing and the small independents that help out with organizing those amazing nights.

That’s right, they reside in Hobart, and that’s about as Down Under as
you can get. On their self-titled debut album they turn all that

But impact events have happened in the past and will surely happen in the future. And it will probably be an even faster moving, late discovery that will wipe out most of life on our beautiful planet. If we don’t get to do that ourselves sooner. But before that happens, we are lucky enough to be on this planet at this moment in time, when so much great music is released and it can take some of the stress and pain away from seeing this beautiful planet being wrecked and humanity everywhere going through turmoil and war. Beautiful music. It’s there for you. For instance, the new <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">79 A.E.</span></i> album… The <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Clouds Taste Satanic</span> cats have been showing off their skills, their knowledge and their flair since their first release <i><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2014/10/clouds-taste-satanic-to-sleep-beyond.html" target="_blank">To Sleep Beyond The Earth</a></i> from 2014. And ever since that impressive debut release most of their songs and tones have always been in the doom territory and had this ominous or even outright evil character to it. But ever since that first album their sound has also been evolving and using ever more progressive touches. Or even classic and proto rock influences. Perhaps glaringly so on <i>Clouds Covered</i> or their <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/12/clouds-taste-satanic-all-i-want-for.html" target="_blank"><i>Christmas EP</i></a> from last December. But for their new <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">79 A.E.</span></i> they have gone full prog rock and metal on our souls. There is still that doom touch, how can there not be with <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Clouds Taste Satanic</span> and especially since <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">79 A.E.</span></i> is their soundtrack for the Apocalypse. A world destroyed by an asteroid strike. But for the most part they traverse through a different landscape. The images conjured are violent, full of barren wastes, desolate hills, darkened skies and a sun still blazing above it all like a million atomic bombs. But the music does want to convey more than the saddening knowledge of an earth gone to hell. Even during that worrying and certainly doom touched opening sequence, there’s already a ray of light in the form of the echoing guitar line, a piece of brilliance that gives the listener hope that this tale of woe and despair, might in the end, after forty five minutes have a joyful conclusion. And those moments reappear throughout the two tracks, giving the listener the courage to continue. During <i>Collision</i>, the opening half of the album, they are limited to a few segments. Metal and their almost signature doom sound, takes precedence over everything else and heralds the impact. During the second half called <i>Reclamation</i> they give themselves increasingly over to the prog-rock that we mentioned before. And instead of segueing into moments of light and air like on <i>Collision</i>, they do it the other way around. Darker, doomier moments serrate the composition and divide these twenty minutes of impressive and progressive structuring into build ups, break downs, interludes and give it so much atmosphere and soul, it will surely make you envision mesmerizing landscapes. And I am sure you will experience this grand adventure in a different way. But the outcome remains the same. An even bigger appreciation for their skills, their knowledge and their flair and everything <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Clouds Taste Satanic</span>.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3388695107/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://cloudstastesatanic.bandcamp.com/album/79-a-e">79 A.E. by Clouds Taste Satanic</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://cloudstastesatanic.bandcamp.com/album/79-a-e" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CloudsTasteSatanic" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cloudstastesatanic/" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4fk9p_CALT5RAZvG5uwV6oMy-yJGUIuAaXNQpVHeaTkBUZnvEVnjrEqfp2R5MGh1zyC2WEf17wLVfmZgVrdsIAXC_dqZxv22h9JawHCWDpJ73Jov3T1tqFy7smDQROI1JLdximZd4b2YXEgJI1ru0ja9dF4GovvrAUSshbWv9TQBypihR_AwfuI1iz4c/s1200/CLOUDS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4fk9p_CALT5RAZvG5uwV6oMy-yJGUIuAaXNQpVHeaTkBUZnvEVnjrEqfp2R5MGh1zyC2WEf17wLVfmZgVrdsIAXC_dqZxv22h9JawHCWDpJ73Jov3T1tqFy7smDQROI1JLdximZd4b2YXEgJI1ru0ja9dF4GovvrAUSshbWv9TQBypihR_AwfuI1iz4c/s320/CLOUDS.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Want to read more on <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Clouds Taste Satanic</span>?<br /> <br />Check out the reviews of the other albums...</div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/12/clouds-taste-satanic-all-i-want-for.html" target="_blank">All I Want For Christmas Is Your Soul EP</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/01/clouds-taste-satanic-tales-of-demonic.html" target="_blank">Tales Of Demonic Possession</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2019/04/clouds-taste-satanic-evil-eye.html" target="_blank">Evil Eye </a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2019/12/number-10.html" target="_blank">Evil Eye came in 10th on The Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2019</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2017/12/clouds-taste-satanic-glitter-of.html" target="_blank">The Glitter of Infinite Hell</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2017/02/clouds-taste-satanic-dawn-of-satanic.html" target="_blank">Dawn of The Satanic Age</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2015/12/clouds-taste-satanic-your-doom-has-come.html" target="_blank">Your Doom Has Come</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2014/10/clouds-taste-satanic-to-sleep-beyond.html" target="_blank">To Sleep Beyond The Earth</a><br /></div> <div> <p></p></div>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-84893595399107443822024-03-01T13:06:00.001+01:002024-03-01T13:14:18.270+01:00The Doom Charts for February 2024 <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDfFh3Ufyd68qTUGKJPmYmi9W5gX0eWEmHETLqdIH7BtpYLtBq-Y8GnxdatEcoFU_fxmkIVns46f_28dAgLJp2XlJEc3TUYgeSPxBPbm-mAnNhT_fVrjxfyi1MAJvXKuXGPzdFBqYrxEYC4ZKLky1j6J7DPpHqoV2Y1OY5KH20UO46-V8k8jn1_Co2Juo/s1200/SUNDRIFTERDC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1196" data-original-width="1200" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDfFh3Ufyd68qTUGKJPmYmi9W5gX0eWEmHETLqdIH7BtpYLtBq-Y8GnxdatEcoFU_fxmkIVns46f_28dAgLJp2XlJEc3TUYgeSPxBPbm-mAnNhT_fVrjxfyi1MAJvXKuXGPzdFBqYrxEYC4ZKLky1j6J7DPpHqoV2Y1OY5KH20UO46-V8k8jn1_Co2Juo/s320/SUNDRIFTERDC.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i> Doom Charts </i></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>February 2024</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">

<p class="has-text-align-justify" style="text-align: justify;">The <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://doomcharts.com/2024/03/01/doom-charts-february-2024/" target="_blank">Doom Charts</a></span> are merely a guide. A
monthly chart based upon votes from many heavy music addicts from the
Heavy Underground that take it upon themselves to go out and discover
and write about as much new great music as they can. There is no
algorithm involved, no AI, nothing artificial. Just pure love and
dedication to the good stuff. I guess we are lucky, you know, you and me
and that we dwell in the Heavy Underground. We do not need suggestions
or predictions based upon what we listened before from some streaming
service. We just go out and visit the blogs, zines, sites and listen to
the podcasts spreading the love about all that good stuff. And then… We
check it out ourselves. And possibly fall as madly in love with the
album as the one suggesting it. Sometimes, it’s the other way around and
we tip one of the many zines about a certain band. We are lucky. We
listen to full albums. Do you think those streaming services will
suggest you listening to <b><a href="https://sleepytimegorillamuseum1.bandcamp.com/album/of-the-last-human-being">SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM</a></b>? I highly doubt it… They only suggest three-minute easy digestible bite-sized chunks. <br /><br />Below
are once again forty amazing albums. Full albums. We live in a time of a
thriving heavy music community with so many great releases. And that is
perhaps, the only minor danger here. Because there is so much, (239
albums received votes this month!) you might not stay with a certain
album long enough. If you have time, please do. See it as that first
vinyl record you ever bought or that cd, which you just played over and
over, until those favorites songs from the first listening session are
no longer your favorites and the ones you did not immediately appreciate
are. If you don’t have time, there is a Spotify-playlist, (ho ho ho,
the irony, the irony) at the bottom with the favorite tracks of the
forty full albums below, chosen by the people voting for them. And all
the tracks from the different <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://doomcharts.com/2024/03/01/doom-charts-february-2024/" target="_blank">Doom Charts</a></span> editions that came before…
Indeed, it’s an exceedingly long playlist. So be warned, it’s already
over 200 hours of amazing heavy tracks… Single tracks. Which will lead
you to more than 2000 heavy albums! Full albums… So, in the end,
listening to all of it, might last forever…</p><p class="has-text-align-justify" style="text-align: justify;">It's Friday! Bandcamp Friday even...

Or not, as the case was for Chris Foss and Ron Cobb’s concept art for the movie Alien in 1975/76. Chris Foss was fresh off concept art duties on Alejandro Jodorowsky's ill fated Dune project and it was before Ridley Scott and H.R. Giger was brought onboard. A lot of Cobb’s work made it into the film, sadly Foss’s work did not. This is my homage to the concept art of Chris Foss and Ron Cobb and the version of Alien that could’ve been! About the track 'Metaphor II' is a long form electronic epic in the vein of Blood Incantation's recent Luminescent Bridge and Timewave Zero and continues the dark ambient aesthetic from the later works of Kennedy's other band All India Radio. Analog synth arpeggios and ethereal flutes evoke Tangerine Dream-esque cosmic visions and waking dreams until it all comes together in a doom metal climax.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><a href="https://www.observers.au/home" target="_blank">Homepage</a><br /><br /><a href="https://observers.bandcamp.com/album/the-age-of-the-machine-entities?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2024-03-01&utm_campaign=Promo+Reminder+-+Debut+album+out+March+4+Observers+-+The+Age+of+the+Machine+Entities" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ObserversBand/photos_by" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/scifi_art/" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TENpkxcXeRE" target="_blank">Youtube</a><br /><br /><br />Thanks to <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://good-boy-pr.com/" target="_blank">Good Boy PR</a></span> for giving us the opportunity to premiere this very enticing <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Observers</span> snippet! <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuE9DMd7PQExS00FE7ghS8zfcYMGEigoKNicyryiGKksIuOV5j_l4DHUr5S0ibJlo-iZq3eVW_dNzqWBuDffGDe0_fEnnnZngZTMbOXocdKJ8QFa5mlKrwdFymMvrKbHVDE0sEt-1yt8ytNddRcERnpW_KoU8eBOGojfxbUhdONANKM28NMRgzrJZAvZs/s1200/OBSERVERS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuE9DMd7PQExS00FE7ghS8zfcYMGEigoKNicyryiGKksIuOV5j_l4DHUr5S0ibJlo-iZq3eVW_dNzqWBuDffGDe0_fEnnnZngZTMbOXocdKJ8QFa5mlKrwdFymMvrKbHVDE0sEt-1yt8ytNddRcERnpW_KoU8eBOGojfxbUhdONANKM28NMRgzrJZAvZs/s320/OBSERVERS.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-77576445313125999362024-02-29T16:16:00.000+01:002024-02-29T16:16:05.121+01:00Weedow – Weedow <p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLs9iJjTqtBh6_1zYAqnXhYww02dPM6A0hRSrhDA847qK9hjqQWaaF7-nJTt4blJPmt_fEv0-giir7uCdBjYKT3Lks19WG0DrhoJzHn3OM9Sszy3V-DSaf_J7_lTncDyshtJ_A1i81iNgukdYna7DgYWTCR2PJcxzyb3ZJkVKpkGchqFrImM5jDMg2Kdo/s1200/WEEDOW.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="679" data-original-width="1200" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLs9iJjTqtBh6_1zYAqnXhYww02dPM6A0hRSrhDA847qK9hjqQWaaF7-nJTt4blJPmt_fEv0-giir7uCdBjYKT3Lks19WG0DrhoJzHn3OM9Sszy3V-DSaf_J7_lTncDyshtJ_A1i81iNgukdYna7DgYWTCR2PJcxzyb3ZJkVKpkGchqFrImM5jDMg2Kdo/s320/WEEDOW.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Weedow – Weedow <br />Self released – 2024<br />Rock, Stoner, Doom<br />Rated: ****<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Man, I love Krakow, Poland so much.

Cause their full-sized debut is full of hazy, psychedelic stonerrock and doom and has been spinning here ever since! That earthly rumbling underneath, those guitar solos, the tones, the heaviness, the haziness: it’s blissful! And even though the Weedow name references those green leaves, the songs themselves are of a much deeper and higher nature. And where some doom albums tend to lean too much on tone and the slow march, the seven tracks on the full-sized debut of the Polish three show they have been careful in showing more width and elasticity in their compositions. Some splattering with doom energy, others more languid and all of them balanced and intriguing. Nine minute and a half long sixth track is indeed an ode to goodbye, a building reverie towards something ecstatic, and where some bands might have gone guttural or howling, the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Weedow</span> three have a guest singer named <span style="font-size: large;">Wiktoria Kowalska</span> recite a poem on <i>Threnody</i>, lifting that one track out of the mud and haze with that sheer brilliant touch. But all seven tracks add something different to their overall classic sounding doom, and therein lies the addictiveness of <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Weedow</span>. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=690227205/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://weedowdoom.bandcamp.com/album/weedow">Weedow by Weedow</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://weedow.band/" target="_blank">Homepage</a><br /><br /><a href="https://weedowdoom.bandcamp.com/album/weedow" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/weedow420doom" target="_blank"><br />Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/weedowdoom" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@weedow420" target="_blank">Youtube</a><br /><br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1khWCXHjBhkxkdCDnQ89Jc?si=EsnHQzChSoOxcTGkdDIiRA&nd=1&dlsi=1d6407b80ae04c4c" target="_blank">Spotify</a><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZ6-psuffCFwbkKg6akUwCLr5IWvA7ElYQfcTEKquk25FCm6_7_DmS0TxnAfREuFhkkMqxcMHSV4hSfGIUWHhwKzdvVBj58MJvzba4HRAgplLKOE6-yvYTz3iC1wyjpvvMKCUnQBUhADteEomjfgzkYbIYOnQponsH5BPQwN0VeiRaoPYJ2ma_bFQTsw/s1200/WEEDOW2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZ6-psuffCFwbkKg6akUwCLr5IWvA7ElYQfcTEKquk25FCm6_7_DmS0TxnAfREuFhkkMqxcMHSV4hSfGIUWHhwKzdvVBj58MJvzba4HRAgplLKOE6-yvYTz3iC1wyjpvvMKCUnQBUhADteEomjfgzkYbIYOnQponsH5BPQwN0VeiRaoPYJ2ma_bFQTsw/s320/WEEDOW2.jpg" width="320" /></a> <br /></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-12866968949128070692024-02-29T16:12:00.001+01:002024-02-29T16:12:21.281+01:00Slift – Ilion<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtWPT5W5cnwY0OCevOy4UlabAZmGiMO1qO2E_s0iBjHZgpa0d3-XeE6MfAfBy_cWVE97pijeaRkUh5ogbPIUmQLlgbSAphhbPl00YWh6l-HDRIYhO8vXKWK6n50gZFoBNsF8AZ8aAlugGq-fClkDSEghOJJ6Yar4u3HjCgmqeJLuWPlcCBs-y3hYJAvik/s1200/SLIFT1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtWPT5W5cnwY0OCevOy4UlabAZmGiMO1qO2E_s0iBjHZgpa0d3-XeE6MfAfBy_cWVE97pijeaRkUh5ogbPIUmQLlgbSAphhbPl00YWh6l-HDRIYhO8vXKWK6n50gZFoBNsF8AZ8aAlugGq-fClkDSEghOJJ6Yar4u3HjCgmqeJLuWPlcCBs-y3hYJAvik/s320/SLIFT1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Slift – Ilion<br />Sub Pop Records – 2024<br />Rock, Metal, Space, Noise, Prog, Kraut, Psych, Punk<br />Rated: ****<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We never actually wrote something about their <i>Ummon</i> album. Even though it was one of our absolute favorite albums from 2020. It came in on <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2020/12/number-9.html" target="_blank">Number 9</a> of that years <i><span style="color: #f1c232;">Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown</span></i>, according to all your votes. We had it listed in our <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2021/01/jks-personal-top-20.html" target="_blank">Top 10</a> back then, but listened to it so much afterwards, we should have put it in our Top 3. What’s even better, we got to see <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Slift</span> live quite a few times afterwards, and they always managed to amaze. And their Sonic Whip 2023 show also immediately made <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Slift</span> an absolute favorite for my wife. So ,when the <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ilion</span></i> promo arrived, it naturally immediately jumped ahead in the gigantic queue of amazing albums we need to listen to. Ilion is no <i>Ummon</i>. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ilion</span></i> is much wilder, rougher and more disturbing. With almost white-out droning noise moments, contrasting those prog rock turning into kraut instances and vocals that might haunt your dreams. Grandiose in scale and execution, the main goal for <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ilion</span></i> seems to have been to keep the listener strapped into a chair of a rocket ship blasting through space, never knowing what comes next, but always keen to find out. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1225258679/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://slift.bandcamp.com/album/ilion">ILION by SLIFT</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://sliftrock.com/" target="_blank">Homepage</a><br /><br /><a href="https://slift.bandcamp.com/album/ilion?from=embed" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sliftrock?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sliftrock" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ituJHYgO1bhlsO8_bmLeekRrpSKshKp10_yNv9wpdMDLwqRFaMQkIpDDxlvO-2JCE7wfPfO2L34L9IT92dfToW6M0vN7er9_cH73x2TS7Qy00JUmRRjWin7KOTfVKi8HOfthLviCPOJptFysBUdJxB2V2HyE7O_nwwxQjJVxGAihIQEjBqD98IAArmk/s1200/SLIFT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ituJHYgO1bhlsO8_bmLeekRrpSKshKp10_yNv9wpdMDLwqRFaMQkIpDDxlvO-2JCE7wfPfO2L34L9IT92dfToW6M0vN7er9_cH73x2TS7Qy00JUmRRjWin7KOTfVKi8HOfthLviCPOJptFysBUdJxB2V2HyE7O_nwwxQjJVxGAihIQEjBqD98IAArmk/s320/SLIFT.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-3008348482577252332024-02-29T16:07:00.004+01:002024-02-29T16:07:38.231+01:00Dool - Venus In Flames<div><p> </p>

Well, the wait is almost over. April 19th, will see the release of <i><span style="color: #e69138;">The Shape Of Fluidity</span></i> on<span style="font-size: large;"> Prophecy Productions</span>. And <i>Venus In Flames</i> is the second video and single from that album. <br /><br />“‘<i>Venus in Flames</i>’ deals with shaking off societal expectations, obliterating gender roles, and learning to love one self in the process. It is an inner dialogue sung out loud, and translated to moving images in the accompanying video by director David Fitt. This is the opening track of our new album ’<i><span style="color: #e69138;">The Shape of Fluidity</span></i>’, wherein the smouldering ashes of the old make way for something new and exciting.

The same can be said
about the third studio album of the fast-rising Dutch rock band DOOL.
Aptly entitled "The Shape of Fluidity" there is not just musical
innovation but the full-length revolves around themes of personal
change, physical change, psychological change, and the ever-changing
world around us. DOOL and particularly singer and guitarist Raven van
Dorst ask questions: How does change affect us? How do we keep being
ourselves in a world that is so incredibly demanding and aggressive
towards the individual? We must be as fluid as water to navigate
ourselves through this ocean of possibilities and uncertainties – and
make peace with chaos and impermanence. Musically, DOOL continue on the
path laid out on the two previous studio recordings of heartfelt rock
music with added metal elements, while displaying a maturity and focus
in songwriting that has grown out of experience. "The Shape of Fluidity"
exhibits an eclectic yet seamless amalgamation of progressive and
post-rock as well as doom and heavy metal in combination with an
inherent catchiness and a dynamic backdrop. It is hardly surprising that
the theme of the album that pitches the concept of identity against the
backdrop of a world in constant flux connects the<span class="bcTruncateMore">
album's lyrics to the biography of lead vocalist Raven. Born intersex,
doctors at the time assumed that they could surgically determine which
kind of life the infant should lead and decided that the child should be
a girl. This has led to a life full of soul searching, fighting taboos
and breaking boundaries, until recently Raven decided to reclaim that
which others have tried so hard to take away from them, and finally
embrace their hermaphroditic nature. The band derived the name DOOL from
the Dutch word for 'wandering'. When their debut album "Here Now, There
Then" was released in 2017, it became an instant success. Their fresh
and wild rock and metal sound received "Album of the Month" titles in
the renowned German magazines Metal Hammer and Rock Hard as well as the
"Best Debut Album 2017" award from the former, while Vice (US),
Aardschok (NL), and De Volkskrant (NL) happily chimed in with heaping
praise on the young Dutch band. With their sophomore full-length
"Summerland" released in 2020, DOOL successfully exceeded the already
sky-high expectations and scored even more "Album of the Month" awards
in German Rock Hard (10/10) and Sonic Seducer magazines as well as #2
soundcheck positions in <a href="http://Metal.de" rel="nofollow ugc">Metal.de</a>,
Metal Hammer (DE) and another #1 in the Polish edition – with a pile
glowing reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. With "The Shape of
Fluidity", DOOL offer so much more than just damn cool music. These
extra dimensions of depth and meaning are all part of their unique
appeal and come out clearly on the new album. May all those who wander
gather under the fluid flag of DOOL!<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"><a href="https://dool.bandcamp.com/album/the-shape-of-fluidity" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybL_zAmMad0" target="_blank">Youtube</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/allthosewhowanderaredool/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/allthosewhowanderaredool/?hl=nl" target="_blank">Instagram</a> <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="bcTruncateMore"><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS4p_vNWGjfhUSv83IE9XFh5qVnZXDKyvrF4AmRpUnAtr2SkICHOoJdHln-IxvwGdm3WEQ3-58RDP2DIYDM1L_plFKJtuGLZETIaDRx-5Su0j0TiiogJsuJL3bhl9M0Z_ix3m8ORSYphy3Dm3kTDRnFVS4J8e7n61wJBfVKVkerpV79LAyZxzEsbI5H7w/s1200/Dool2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS4p_vNWGjfhUSv83IE9XFh5qVnZXDKyvrF4AmRpUnAtr2SkICHOoJdHln-IxvwGdm3WEQ3-58RDP2DIYDM1L_plFKJtuGLZETIaDRx-5Su0j0TiiogJsuJL3bhl9M0Z_ix3m8ORSYphy3Dm3kTDRnFVS4J8e7n61wJBfVKVkerpV79LAyZxzEsbI5H7w/s320/Dool2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-70343764603186268732024-02-28T11:29:00.002+01:002024-02-28T11:29:48.489+01:00Last Quarter – For The Hive<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLZ25kXJk_ORRc9e-bD9ASA4xmy6Uy1hmX-zpYZuT_RXMs9KwnuRNrcPgVAptXyQQHXPEgsbW6frphrkC4oM9uoCMjojmiZr5Tw2Pay2wiPAXPlV3gV2jOOuZ3jbxkbBJxVsZNGHByms72V7MUDZlLux97TCK8_oWZpsU0Q8UvRuBn89yAMm9pqaTStAI/s1440/LASTQUART.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLZ25kXJk_ORRc9e-bD9ASA4xmy6Uy1hmX-zpYZuT_RXMs9KwnuRNrcPgVAptXyQQHXPEgsbW6frphrkC4oM9uoCMjojmiZr5Tw2Pay2wiPAXPlV3gV2jOOuZ3jbxkbBJxVsZNGHByms72V7MUDZlLux97TCK8_oWZpsU0Q8UvRuBn89yAMm9pqaTStAI/s320/LASTQUART.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Last Quarter – For The Hive<br />Self-released – 2024<br />Rock, Blues, Fuzz, Stoner, Psych <br />Rated: ***<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We are truly honored and a bit embarrassed at the love displayed by French quartet <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Last Quarter</span>. That they created this amazing four track and decided to name it in honor of <i><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">Stoner HiVe </span></i>, that they did this for us… <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">For The Hive</span></i>… Of course, we know we are delusional here. But the grand meaning behind the title and what they call the <i>Hive</i> is not lost on us. <i><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">Stoner HiVe </span></i>has always meant for the <i>Hive</i> part to be viewed in a similar manner. The story of the four tracks can be read as a story meant for an earth a few or hopefully many years in the future but is actually set on a desolate planet in a part of the universe they call the P647 system. A spaceship heads over in a hurry after getting signals a bee might still be alive on that planet. And you should listen to the tracks to find out what happens. And it will not just be this story that might captivate you, the music executed uses early rock with blues, fuzz, stoner and even a bit of doom tones to transport you through space and time. The slow and meticulous opening of third track <i>Next Morning</i>, the extra vocal harmony parts during said track, that funky bass during final track <i>We’ll Be Just fine</i>, all add flavor to an already highly varied outing. A story they began with that seven minute long track <i>Space Bee Keeper</i> from 2021 is continued in fine form on <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">For The Hive</span></i>. Perhaps it should have been included on the EP? Although, that track was more aggressive and metal, and <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">For The Hive</span></i> speaks to quieter emotions. But these twenty minutes of heavy rock will speak to all… <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;">(Written by JK)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2827369848/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://lastquarter.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-hive">For The Hive by Last Quarter</a></iframe><br /><a href="https://lastquarter.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-hive" target="_blank"><br />Bandcamp</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lastquarterband/" target="_blank"><br />Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastquartertheband" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhex3sgt4S7YzDKRxYRW-4oChaX4juu9ukIceeiq-VL6dqJFDusjipO8xXcj-gvqW1609zfBqkFx1yWPJDtYyaoMxadVClLUiAVnrr0FaS0ac1omvZIQa8VjY7xUnYs2MISFWfoTVzHdu5cwE3M0ItH9yYBYBN4g-ni4OnQ5yJPQ3aISKIpBMTddz_QGpw/s1200/Last32.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhex3sgt4S7YzDKRxYRW-4oChaX4juu9ukIceeiq-VL6dqJFDusjipO8xXcj-gvqW1609zfBqkFx1yWPJDtYyaoMxadVClLUiAVnrr0FaS0ac1omvZIQa8VjY7xUnYs2MISFWfoTVzHdu5cwE3M0ItH9yYBYBN4g-ni4OnQ5yJPQ3aISKIpBMTddz_QGpw/s320/Last32.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-59021758075682617032024-02-26T11:33:00.003+01:002024-02-26T11:33:51.769+01:00Stoner HiVe’s Top 10 Most Listened Artists Last Week…<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2cOvqfpZRRc7nNMxpYISBbExWcLFa7K8-IdQ2om-AO3xXxqm_g_Hqjhe8PjDPnm2VMiknxrkgEb7DzEEU-IYse0-LE92_AG4Hhzt_fwmr_sC9RMlGvg6SCapNi6wUrZmaTDA1kWBGbpawC_4Aufz8n1wWzaJXUoOfFyTQd-qnrjRt3b1ewBmdCghk9Ys/s1200/Stack-of-old-vinyl-records.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2cOvqfpZRRc7nNMxpYISBbExWcLFa7K8-IdQ2om-AO3xXxqm_g_Hqjhe8PjDPnm2VMiknxrkgEb7DzEEU-IYse0-LE92_AG4Hhzt_fwmr_sC9RMlGvg6SCapNi6wUrZmaTDA1kWBGbpawC_4Aufz8n1wWzaJXUoOfFyTQd-qnrjRt3b1ewBmdCghk9Ys/s320/Stack-of-old-vinyl-records.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">Stoner HiVe</span>’s <br />Top 10 Most Listened Artists Last Week…<br /></i><br /><a href="https://glitchcraftband.bandcamp.com/album/glitchcraft" target="_blank">Glitchcraft</a><br /><a href="https://replicajesus.bandcamp.com/album/echoes-from-the-expanse" target="_blank">Replica Jesus</a><br /><a href="https://thecrotals.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">The Crotals</a><br /><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/02/thorndale-lightning-spawn.html" target="_blank">Thorndale</a><br /><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/09/earth-altar-sun-below-inter-terra-solis.html" target="_blank">Earth Altar / Sun Below</a><br /><a href="https://1782doom.bandcamp.com/album/1782" target="_blank">1782</a><br /><a href="https://skraeckoedlan.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Skraeckoedlan</a><br /><a href="https://locomotivaeletrica.bandcamp.com/album/os-animais-que-nos-habitam" target="_blank">Locomotiva Eléctrica</a><br /><a href="https://slowrepeat.bandcamp.com/album/slowrepeat" target="_blank">Slowrepeat</a><br /><a href="https://sundrifter.bandcamp.com/album/an-earlier-time" target="_blank">Sundrifter</a><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It’s Monday again! Still recovering from an awesome <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Into The Void Festival</span> in Effenaar, Eindhoven. What a day! What a fest! Will try to write a few words about it soon. The bands and the organization did well! Loads of Most Listened on the list were Friday Freebies over on <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://doomcharts.com/" target="_blank">Doom Charts</a></span>. We did ten this time, all amazing records! We did the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/02/full-album-world-wide-premiere.html" target="_blank">Full Album premiere</a></span> for <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Thorndale</span>! A wild new metal outfit that knows how to incorporate all that good stuff from before. We wrote something about those punk noise bastards from <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/02/geishas-of-doom-first-four-tapes.html" target="_blank">Geishas Of Doom</a></span> and had to do a lot of other work, so we were unable to do more for the HiVe last week. Hope this week will be better! Although of course, Friday will be for <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://doomcharts.com/" target="_blank">Doom Charts</a></span> once again… <br /></p><p><br /></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-84618460093380204112024-02-22T08:31:00.006+01:002024-02-22T08:31:55.245+01:00Full Album - World Wide Premiere - Thorndale - Lightning Spawn<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwd7QieLzKVd41t2olh15435tfhSRxxyV66KXR5QpJWLUyV3nNne3UC-njFaSkKuTaF3FWuW4vlj1OJ_GKDJ0JqVf3hotLCiCu0Wc1lo7XUsUELhozdvwwbmalWgg_dCrt6YgJ4nqxcMmrKqOydDP-r7s47LMsQWuPRyHo_9sNkyHaqeuih-hZ-S-cNI/s1197/Thorndale1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="1197" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwd7QieLzKVd41t2olh15435tfhSRxxyV66KXR5QpJWLUyV3nNne3UC-njFaSkKuTaF3FWuW4vlj1OJ_GKDJ0JqVf3hotLCiCu0Wc1lo7XUsUELhozdvwwbmalWgg_dCrt6YgJ4nqxcMmrKqOydDP-r7s47LMsQWuPRyHo_9sNkyHaqeuih-hZ-S-cNI/s320/Thorndale1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Full Album - World Wide Premiere<br /><br />Thorndale - Lightning Spawn</span></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />We're honored to present you all with the <b>Full Abum World Wide Premiere</b> of the debut album by </span><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Thorndale</span><span style="font-size: small;">! </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: #e69138;">Lightning Spawn</span></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> sports six amazing metal tracks and almost thirty minutes of wild guitar work and majestic grooves! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">And yes, we wrote a few words about it just yesterday... <br /><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">"... </span>They opt from grandiose gestures, as you will soon hear once second track <i>Ain’t The End Of My Rope</i>
roll on. A gritty groove builds to gigantic proportions, drums crash,
as the vocalist uses mythological lyrics to paint ancient and lavish
vistas. <i>Born As A Stranger</i>, hits faster, harder and then uses that almost trademark <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Thorndale</span>
signature sound, giving room to a guitar solo and letting it all open
up and turn light before returning to that massive chug. Distinctly
operating on every metal side of the Heavy Undergound, they do have
moments where a bit of grunge comes into play or their love for an
alternative nineties edge shows its colors...."<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Read the full review <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/02/thorndale-lightning-spawn.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and listen to <i><span style="color: #e69138;">Lightning Spawn</span></i> below! <br /><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="210" src="https://youtube.com/embed/sjKET2LLTaU?si=kh-eyOp9On8NTlGe" width="380"></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> We thank </span><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Thorndale </span><span style="font-size: small;">and </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://grandsounds.net/" target="_blank">Grand Sounds Promotion</a> </span><span style="font-size: small;">for the opportunity to share this wild album with you all... <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://thorndale.band/" target="_blank">Homepage</a><br /><br /><a href="https://thorndale.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thorndaleofficial" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thorndaleofficial" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJLqbhJaZW8kndHletis4vkFDp-m4sPcnYYroSxtda1hLEg1l_jjyRX49_06Je97hixSlY6uK94Siqns9Q9bUdB_rmVslmMesPCanbeYmIku4MFHRo9C0EYA_-AZvRNK4hfESRamQInFtpwuohIECDonrHkC16zrsym6LFKRW0RF872NCS7XI-WpXxFjs/s1500/thorncover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJLqbhJaZW8kndHletis4vkFDp-m4sPcnYYroSxtda1hLEg1l_jjyRX49_06Je97hixSlY6uK94Siqns9Q9bUdB_rmVslmMesPCanbeYmIku4MFHRo9C0EYA_-AZvRNK4hfESRamQInFtpwuohIECDonrHkC16zrsym6LFKRW0RF872NCS7XI-WpXxFjs/s320/thorncover.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span><i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0
