The guest spots he delivered over there years on various albums. Or from bands like <span style="font-size: large;">Marulk</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">Slower</span>. You might know him from all that mix and master brilliance he delivers through his <span style="font-size: large;">Studio Berserk</span> for a varied array of bands. Or you might know him from all those fun, cool, weird and coffee pictures he shares on various social media platforms. He’s around and that’s a good thing, for <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Esben Willems</span> seems to be an honest and pure seeker of goodness and good music! And on <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Glowing Darkness</span></i> we are treated to his very first solo album, totally and completely done himself, and delivered as a search through the treasure trove of all sorts of song ideas that had been lying around and he desperately wanted to record. And that’s a good thing. Often rudimentary, often jagged and choppy, the nine tracks move from personal insights to world views and across an eclectic mix of influences. Never needing to go to the <span style="font-size: large;">Monolord</span> sound or even stonerrock or doom. Even though there are slight touches and moments where he traipses around those genres. Not suffering from a scourge of mildness, there is a different form of extreme here, the extreme need to follow one’s instinct. And that means you can hear what Mr. <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Willems</span> is thinking across dark themed music or surprisingly airy melodies. Title track <i>Glowing Darkness</i> perhaps being the prime example of this. Or the acoustic <i>Fortune Teller</i>, which makes Mr. <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Willems</span> go full singer songwriter and is delivered with such finesse it makes you believe he’s a born story teller that could easily write a multitude of mini novels for this kind of music. He might have thought he needed to close the album off with a heavier tune and tone, for <i>Across The Everything</i> has that building vibe, which will give rise to your anticipation of something more <span style="font-size: large;">Monolord</span> touched, but instead it goes into the alternative nineties and stoner sound. ‘I’m Coming Home’, he sings, but from everything you heard throughout the record one must believe Mr. <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Willems</span> was always home, comfortable and at ease. Showing off his eclectic interests and his righteous search for the good stuff… Out today, happy release day to the honorable Mr. <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Willems</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=745026267/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://esbenwillems.bandcamp.com/album/glowing-darkness-2">Glowing Darkness by Esben Willems</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://esbenwillems.bandcamp.com/album/glowing-darkness-2" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/esbenwillems/" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/esben.willems/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://majesticmountainrecords.bigcartel.com/product/esben-willems-glowing-darkness" target="_blank">Majestic Mountain Records</a><br /><br /><a href="https://shelteredlifepr.com/2024/02/01/monolords-esben-willems-to-release-debut-solo-album-listen-to-cabaret-street-now/" target="_blank">Sheltered Life PR</a><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/AVvXsEixMuFmqNYRGeS5Bo_jIMNZUKkbMR8b7nSmpMqCBYcI6_JXWXC3AbDvIwc1G4q6bdQylTeK_wnCsWWdF9JYaigU5QgmlpACe-Bedyj5jkJgn3O8PsLtpLT5ucCIWN7BsZMUkgCF1Y6vFaHmcng15ADdpkmnEyYgsWlr4T4EJN1qv81RZJc3EhyphenhyphenC6718lcY/s1200/ESBEN.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/AVvXsEixMuFmqNYRGeS5Bo_jIMNZUKkbMR8b7nSmpMqCBYcI6_JXWXC3AbDvIwc1G4q6bdQylTeK_wnCsWWdF9JYaigU5QgmlpACe-Bedyj5jkJgn3O8PsLtpLT5ucCIWN7BsZMUkgCF1Y6vFaHmcng15ADdpkmnEyYgsWlr4T4EJN1qv81RZJc3EhyphenhyphenC6718lcY/s320/ESBEN.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-60153072815026826882024-03-29T09:32:00.001+01:002024-03-29T09:32:24.752+01:00Max Boogie Overdrive – Stoned Again<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMkD_yHigAXJdanx_bbwN4uxHhx9aLZghvV5EeSZuupC4PpvvryiYCr-kIYmoZGAjZJHk1kIwbPpycIubKnLVcnwp7DvSl3BZWc0U2ZDtsBmDnEsSBDy0gqNH7qAMGgwBSdBWZKDIPuUqRH4uwMFaraDzvTBW5g_VawC7JzTDIBVsgQkylDCjVxLcNdSo/s1200/MAX.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMkD_yHigAXJdanx_bbwN4uxHhx9aLZghvV5EeSZuupC4PpvvryiYCr-kIYmoZGAjZJHk1kIwbPpycIubKnLVcnwp7DvSl3BZWc0U2ZDtsBmDnEsSBDy0gqNH7qAMGgwBSdBWZKDIPuUqRH4uwMFaraDzvTBW5g_VawC7JzTDIBVsgQkylDCjVxLcNdSo/s320/MAX.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Max Boogie Overdrive – Stoned Again<br />Self-released – 2024<br />Rock, Stoner, Hard, Metal <br />Rated: ****<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Most of the words that follow were jotted down over the course of many months. Because the promo dropped so early, we assumed, constantly and erroneously that we would have time enough to finish this write-up about the full-sized debut <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Stoned Again</span></i> for the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Max Boogie Overdrive</span> fun bunch from Los Angeles, USA. And yesterday, and no, not because we were constantly <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Stoned Again</span></i>, we realized the album drops today! So, happy release day to the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Max Boogie Overdrive</span> four and all the people that will hear this album today and get high from all that fast paced hardrock. Indeed, hardrock interlaced with stoner and something seventies rock inspired and full of eighties metal adoration. For you will be treated to some bad ass motoring stonerrock, speed boogie metal and a whole lot of swagger. The <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Max Boogie Overdrive</span> filled up their van with all that up-tempo and fuzzed out grooviness and went to town! Opener<i> <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2023/08/stoner-hives-quick-fire-friday.html" target="_blank">The Devil Knows My Name</a></i> was their second single and is the seminal cruiser for their forward motion rock, zipping along the coast on an old bike, with the confidence that comes on a man when the wind picks up and he begins to move in a hard straight line toward an unknown horizon, trying to get away from the Devil. Blues roots abundant, luscious guitar all across the composition and absolute thundering drum work. <i>Suffer Sister</i> was the first single, logically chosen, for the amount of catchiness and those riffs tumbling over each other, shortest track on the album and a righteous shotgun blast with the bit of freak out soloing around the middle segment, ending on that perfect drum down and cowbell note. Third track <i>Freakazoid</i> slows down, digs in and drops some acid… Rock… With explosive guitar solos that take you places and a steady swing and swagger, rolling over that running eighties metal guitar riffing underneath or allowed to free flow and drown you in a mirror pool of wavey guitar sounds. Followed by <i>Van Boogie</i>, the most Californian desert, skater and stoner rocking song on the album. And indeed, such a boogie, with a dynamic bob and bounce, and a groove that seems to run deeper than the Mariana Trench. Full tilt boogie indeed! The hardrock and metal pervasive stoner dynamite that is <i>Bomb Incoming</i> comes next, with those chugging riffs and those classic eighties refrains, delivering once again what <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Max Boogie Overdrive</span> seems to be all about, that fun gritty rock! Two more tracks follow before you get to the final title track of the album: <i>Stoned Again</i>. Starting off with a lovely snippets of the honest former President of the USA, Obama, it soon becomes this face melting druggy and drifting stoner rocking ripple, speeding up later on and returning to slow fold afterwards. Filled with anthemic vocals professing the drug feelings of the youth and loads of soundbites at the end coming out of the cosmic void to combat that elated feeling you had about drugs earlier on. It’s all good. It’s all fun! Just like the entire album, <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Max Boogie Overdrive</span> show their colors early on with this record and show us we need more classic metal mixed with stoner boogie. Cause this is what truly gets you high! <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=2365252858/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://maxboogieoverdrive1.bandcamp.com/album/stoned-again">Stoned Again by Max Boogie Overdrive</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://maxboogieoverdrive1.bandcamp.com/album/stoned-again" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/p/Max-Boogie-Overdrive-100083503806543/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/maxboogieod" target="_blank">Linktree</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/maxboogieod/" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZdIPQnNhud6QTQ4cV0i09wJC_Orv9V1svI3HyXYDmWzWKMnZGKsxu2jKgiLaw-3Wtkj1wmk62JSZg3RIz9W-m-4o0V2jgXRauOWn-Xs4tb2BZ4xGUpc2IxjenD6cLyuk64t2Dob8AIQhBXGzj10OL3TUyPrZlzmAw01l69KeG1yenXqcIDY0Z5n30VZk/s1200/MAx2.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/AVvXsEgZdIPQnNhud6QTQ4cV0i09wJC_Orv9V1svI3HyXYDmWzWKMnZGKsxu2jKgiLaw-3Wtkj1wmk62JSZg3RIz9W-m-4o0V2jgXRauOWn-Xs4tb2BZ4xGUpc2IxjenD6cLyuk64t2Dob8AIQhBXGzj10OL3TUyPrZlzmAw01l69KeG1yenXqcIDY0Z5n30VZk/s320/MAx2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-88011534632417068442024-03-27T20:33:00.002+01:002024-03-28T17:17:30.687+01:00Scorched Oak – Perception<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVeJRF9cG4hsEk_KTohcZdk1FCR4-hWQv1hKoqCYcdXKNaJQEkUfJk1m9q2JlnhHAF77c2dyXLOrMmLyoLq6rWNY0V4D8d_RI8JTI216l0Xdqi_Ebjeyc0bbPs69OQHzhZy9N1LoWg4YdKyJTB22d7PMnu_6K0vtbtP5SGAyPBtFvIooVtm1iAKTW1Q5E/s2000/Scorched_Oak_1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="2000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVeJRF9cG4hsEk_KTohcZdk1FCR4-hWQv1hKoqCYcdXKNaJQEkUfJk1m9q2JlnhHAF77c2dyXLOrMmLyoLq6rWNY0V4D8d_RI8JTI216l0Xdqi_Ebjeyc0bbPs69OQHzhZy9N1LoWg4YdKyJTB22d7PMnu_6K0vtbtP5SGAyPBtFvIooVtm1iAKTW1Q5E/s320/Scorched_Oak_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Scorched Oak – Perception<br />Self-released – 2024<br />Rock, Doom, Stoner, Metal<br />Rated: ****<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We’ve been listening to the German three called <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Scorched Oak</span> ever since we heard that damn fine <i>Withering Earth</i> album back in 2020. It jumped to the Top 10 of that months <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://doomcharts.com/2020/10/02/doom-charts-september-2020/" target="_blank">Doom Charts</a></span> and rightfully so. And their new album <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Perception</span></i> has everything on board to do even better! It also comes at a better time, cause with <i>Withering Earth</i> releasing during the pandemic, they could not really tour that album. With <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Perception</span></i> they can, will, shall and with a vengeance. In fact, for all my fellow Dutchies, they will be playing the formidable <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/love-for-loud-fest.html" target="_blank">Love For Loud Fest</a></span> in <span style="font-size: large;">Amsterdam</span>, this <span style="font-size: large;">Friday the 29th of March</span>. A date that is not to be missed! And an album that needs to be heard! <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Perception</span></i>’s biggest change compared to Withering Earth, is perhaps the use of vocals. To be begin with, there are more. Bass player <span style="font-size: large;">Linda </span><span class="x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" dir="auto"><span style="font-size: large;">Klockmann</span></span></span> can be heard on many songs, with excellent vocals that both move and inspire. With the exact amount of careening, almost flying out of the curve here and there, her vocals will surge through your blood and either fire you up or give you goosebumps. There are tales of woe and elation, and you will feel them all. And then there are those little sighs and whispered sounds, that will do all sorts of other things to you. Guitarist <span style="font-size: large;">Ben Plochowietz</span> delivered most of the sparing vocals on that first <i>Withering Earth</i> album but did so on that album splendidly. They had its own color and even though you could hear he was trying to find the best way to use them, he sounded like he would be comfortable with his voice soon enough and it sounded on the verge of becoming amazing. On <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Perception</span></i>, he also uses his voice more, but has now decided to set his voice to a burling tone. Which doesn’t seem to work constantly, on a few occasions even sounding like has just finished a bottle of coke and desperately needs to belch. It’s the Rob Zombie approach to singing, and I loved his earlier vocalization more. But there surely will also be fans out there on the opposite side, digging it a lot. And don’t get me wrong, there are parts on the new album where it definitely works, but also where, for me personally, it doesn't. And that’s the sole reason, this album isn’t the best album of 2024 for me, but it is still high up on the list though. Extremely high! And for many reasons… <br /><br />Just listen to opening track and single, with cool video, <i>Delusion</i>. The way it immediately sets the scene, with its Eastern motif, painting that windswept, purple dawn of the desert. The shadowy silhouettes traversing the endless dunes, before the sound, the volume, the fullness slowly builds towards that crash, the wonderful sigh and the powerful push that follows. That luscious drum work, melodic, shifting, like the sand beneath your feet. It continues in another amazing track that follows called <i>Mirrors</i>. A highlight in vocals once again, a doomier approach to the riffs and the drums. Often spilling an atmosphere around you of a night sky about to tumble down. The calmer moments feeling like the last seconds you can still see the stars reflected in the motionless oasis water. <i>Mirrors</i>… And <i>Mirrors,</i> with that space, kraut influenced end part, so danceable and possibly a part that could be extended live for ages, when they see the crow go wild. A part that returns in a slightly different form in bonus track <i>Wizard</i>. Need to hear one more track to be convinced? Well, of course third track Relief is there for you, another more metal approach to their sound. Stomping, motoring, inching towards an edge you never knew was there. But personally, I reckon <i>Echoes</i>, which is another highlight in vocals, will be able to cross boundaries and make fans out of everyone. And together with the opener it’s their most stoner rock and accessible track. And then there are still the amazing <i>Reflection</i> and the brilliant <i>Oracle</i> still to follow. And after this incredibly album has finished and so many words written down, not really my best of writing, I haven’t even mentioned the fact that <span style="font-size: large;">Esben Willems</span> at his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/studioberserk/" target="_blank">Studio Berserk</a>, and who you might know from <span style="font-size: large;">Monolord</span>, mastered the album! Or that <span class="x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" dir="auto"><span style="font-size: large;">Robin Stirnberg</span>, aka, <span style="font-size: large;">Rombonaut</span> mixed it! </span></span>And there is still bonus track <i>Wizard</i>, which is probably called bonus track because it feels less in place with the rest of the themes and atmosphere on the album, but still holds so much great rock. Those riffs, that bass work, those drums, they will cast a spell on you. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Perception</span></i> is an album that should cement <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Scorched Oak</span>’s place in the heavy rock firmament. And like a bright shining star it will guide all of us heavy rock fiends to the right place to rock out. And buy their vinyl… And they do that all themselves… What? Wait? They are still unsigned? </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=1933323022/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://scorchedoak.bandcamp.com/album/perception">Perception by Scorched Oak</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://www.scorched-oak.de/" target="_blank">Homepage</a><br /><a href="https://scorchedoak.bandcamp.com/album/perception" target="_blank"><br />Bandcamp</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://scorchedoak.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">BigCartel </a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ScorchedOak/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/scorched_oak/" target="_blank"><br />Instagram</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy47GsnkZqEoObUCkoc6-yg" target="_blank">Youtube</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVW4Yx2C8AEvAyhjI8p2HZe2tDmP6AmIXrbfRxVgqHVWuvJmYSRWFygKI7ZCFCt_1p2ZndM0oz-oLBYf92Y6tb9pbHs9zei3YdBmG3JaW0FTR3e4hF6HkzHLN80pQJOcMDdtxIAIMSywJhV66g7KdYSGElNvoll9ZFftKVULIgh4OeI4UFRTeuoDxoZvA/s1200/Scorched2.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/AVvXsEhVW4Yx2C8AEvAyhjI8p2HZe2tDmP6AmIXrbfRxVgqHVWuvJmYSRWFygKI7ZCFCt_1p2ZndM0oz-oLBYf92Y6tb9pbHs9zei3YdBmG3JaW0FTR3e4hF6HkzHLN80pQJOcMDdtxIAIMSywJhV66g7KdYSGElNvoll9ZFftKVULIgh4OeI4UFRTeuoDxoZvA/s320/Scorched2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-2443335608399291802024-03-27T06:47:00.001+01:002024-03-27T07:05:01.234+01:00Greenleaf - Breathe, Breathe Out<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZVJwRw7wa_4Zcp6L-5Hcazb-QrU4bCE53Ry6vqjXrI27GW6ToDQr7Cu9Gqx9GzcByKMH2pB7DvcRWeSh9xmrkELPwdwG_xOp_B4Fu77AZSEeQl1McmQAQeBWlSmnWkU9_FHIFQwH_X6AKdCI0Svz0-2W5wNq0-eRB-azwJCRzdgLgulaEfocq0iVBDs/s2048/greenleaf.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZVJwRw7wa_4Zcp6L-5Hcazb-QrU4bCE53Ry6vqjXrI27GW6ToDQr7Cu9Gqx9GzcByKMH2pB7DvcRWeSh9xmrkELPwdwG_xOp_B4Fu77AZSEeQl1McmQAQeBWlSmnWkU9_FHIFQwH_X6AKdCI0Svz0-2W5wNq0-eRB-azwJCRzdgLgulaEfocq0iVBDs/s320/greenleaf.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Greenleaf - Breathe, Breathe Out</span></i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Rent paying work, life, you know the deal, it all got in the way of the good stuff again… So, we weren’t able to do as much as we have hoped. Also, because Friday was taken up by all those <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://doomcharts.com/" target="_blank">Doom Charts Freebies</a></span>. Did you grab any? Found your new favorite album? Hope so, if not, check the ones above… Or check out <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/sonic-wolves-iii.html" target="_blank">Sonic Wolves</a></span>’s <i><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/sonic-wolves-iii.html" target="_blank">III</a></span></i> album, we were honored to deliver the premiere for that wild rocker. But besides all that <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sonic Wolves</span> stuff, we were only able to write a few words about <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/full-earth-cloud-sculpters.html" target="_blank">Full Earth</a></span>’s <i><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/full-earth-cloud-sculpters.html" target="_blank">Cloud Sculptures</a></span></i>. Which is big in every sense of the word! And yes, because of an interview, the new <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Fischer-Z</span> album <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Triptych</span></i> was on heavy rotation. The old new wave punk, has gone full troubadour. Here’s hoping we have time to do more this week.

Formed by <span style="font-size: large;">Kanaan</span>-drummer <span style="font-size: large;">Ingvald André Vassbø</span> to see even more of his inspirations, ideas and conceptions come to live. He immediately implored the aid of his two <span style="font-size: large;">Kanaan</span> companions, guitarist <span style="font-size: large;">Ask Vatn Strøm</span> and bassist <span style="font-size: large;">Eskild Myrvoll</span>, who plays guitar, synth and samples for this album. To round out the quintet he got jazz bassist <span style="font-size: large;">Simen Wie</span> and for keys and organ <span style="font-size: large;">Øystein Heide Aadland</span> who you might know from the <span style="font-size: large;">Drongo</span> project. Well, together they formed a band whose names and deeds were to be retold throughout history and their first album would be called: <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Cloud Sculptures</span></i>. A prog rock extravaganza lasting almost one and a half hours. Divided into six tracks, four of which lasting from almost fifteen minutes to over twenty minutes. And two shorter compositions. If that sounds big, you will feel dwarfed when you finally start listening. The first two compositions are an album in their own right, totaling forty-one minutes, and spending all those minutes in a whirling progressive adventure, which feels as imaginative as it feels powerful. Building segments, prolonged releases, expert instrumentation and with so much happening around you that you will feel the world spin out of control around you. And as you become overwhelmed by the entire experience, they manage to give you just the perfect handle to hold on to and to keep moving forward. And on some level you will never want <i>Full Earth Pt1 – Emanation</i> or the following title track Cloud Sculptures to end. And that is why third track Weltgeist, feels as the unwelcome interlude, a rude gaseous stopping point for the cosmic trip you were on. The bathroom break you did not need. On some level I can understand the need for this kind of extrapolation of vaporous keywork, but it seems out of tune with all that you had been experiencing on those first two tracks. Even though fourth track <i>The Collective Unconscious</i> starts by building on <i>Weltgeist</i>, but you immediately feel this is going places. It will not stay the intangible essence of what <i>Weltgeis</i>t turns out to be. And by that fourth track you are already an hour deep into <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Cloud Sculptures</span></i> and there is still so much more to come. And yes, I am all for more and more and just a bit more. But as <i>Echo Tears</i> bubbles over me, I cannot help but think, that like <i>Weltgeist</i>, it feels out of tune with the other tracks. Where everything on the album became more and more, more instrumentation, more segments, more minutes of wonderful prog rock, <i>Echo Tears</i> turned a minimalist corner. There is wonderment here, and there is a definite trance inducing capability about the entire organ driven arrangement as they dance around each other. But it’s almost as if it’s meant for an entirely different experience than those prog rock wonders of before. Even though, once again final track <i>Full Earth Pt II – Disintegration</i> does build upon the resonance left behind by <i>Echo Tears</i>. Slowly turning into a chaotic overture, destroying time signatures, melodicism and then turning back around and into this dynamic, but still extremely turbulent abstract, and expressionistic drip like prog. It is wild, awe-inspiring, shocking, and so is looking back on the almost one and half hours of <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Full Earth</span>. There is so much and perhaps, and I hardly ever say this, there is a too much. It’s difficult to wrap your mind around all you heard and experienced. <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Full Earth</span> is so full of everything, it might make your head explode. Perhaps that is the reason there is so much. <span style="font-size: large;">Ingvald André Vassbø</span> had to let everything out… Cause if you are so extremely full of ideas and inspiration, you’d better let it out… If not, you might explode... <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=64571618/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://fullearth.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-sculptors">Cloud Sculptors by Full Earth</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://fullearth.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-sculptors" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Fullearth/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/full_earth_sounds/" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfI1HG8A9Ip1qXUF0uVnXTdQ_SrAvUxWPXqjCQaJ7YPzQP8aZ7dlvk_r8CUTII5gFTo7aFe1fuSsownvz6nWe16keEVMy_NaTno7xiu98RAKK5krK7YuDaSdeop5LuIvuahDa8zxpDa_TyNnkun9stcpfG3wXxGRQz7ZJ1up36keIxIKm9VAX068K4pw0/s1200/FULL.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/AVvXsEjfI1HG8A9Ip1qXUF0uVnXTdQ_SrAvUxWPXqjCQaJ7YPzQP8aZ7dlvk_r8CUTII5gFTo7aFe1fuSsownvz6nWe16keEVMy_NaTno7xiu98RAKK5krK7YuDaSdeop5LuIvuahDa8zxpDa_TyNnkun9stcpfG3wXxGRQz7ZJ1up36keIxIKm9VAX068K4pw0/s320/FULL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-59366321112883713602024-03-20T20:23:00.001+01:002024-03-20T20:23:13.053+01:00Full Album Premiere – Sonic Wolves – III <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ZewYyBV-Bo8Qy1FUNiEnshXxaQUHCC_bqwQZgp7R92_tYzxyrNGi23HdH_p2svBwxoXecxQoC8ve8dKBBLdnid14V6ha9TeoDvMwUATzH4Muv7T0ihmjuPRXWNEd6uXFW8bOYQwYoKjEROYIwLAE8CF9-lEivo1HfA4QUaAWvKSdVWwLfcQRKfFV9ng/s710/sonice3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="710" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ZewYyBV-Bo8Qy1FUNiEnshXxaQUHCC_bqwQZgp7R92_tYzxyrNGi23HdH_p2svBwxoXecxQoC8ve8dKBBLdnid14V6ha9TeoDvMwUATzH4Muv7T0ihmjuPRXWNEd6uXFW8bOYQwYoKjEROYIwLAE8CF9-lEivo1HfA4QUaAWvKSdVWwLfcQRKfFV9ng/s320/sonice3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Full Album Premiere – Sonic Wolves – III </i><br /></span><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/sonic-wolves-iii.html" target="_blank">review</a> for this wonderful album went up only a few hours ago!

And with spurs earned in bands like <span style="font-size: large;">Ufomammut</span>, <span style="font-size: large;">Pentagram</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">Mortuary Drape</span> you can safely state that the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sonic Wolves</span> three are a powerhouse power trio! And that their third album <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">III</span></i> is one that needs to be devoured as soon as it hits the streets! Well, you are in luck my friends! The release date is just around the corner, this Friday to be exact, and you are even more in luck if you follow <i><span style="color: #f1c232;">Stoner HiVe </span></i>by coincidence, cause we get to do the premiere today for this wild and wonderful record! The <b>Full Album Premiere</b> will be going live in a few hours, but first lets dive into their third full-sized album called III. An album fans have been waiting for, for more than six years. Formed in 2012 by drummer <span style="font-size: large;">Vita</span> (ex-Ufomammut) and bassist/singer <span style="font-size: large;">Kayt Vigil</span> (ex-Pentagram and ex-The House of Hasselvander) they found a new guitarist in <span style="font-size: large;">Nico Nigro</span> back in 2022. The new guitar blood resulted in <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sonic Wolves</span> evolving, becoming even more feral, dangerous, and having to lay down the tracks that will surely be coursing through your veins after that first time you hear <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">III</span></i> in full. Bursting out of the gates with that second single <i>Shapeshifter</i>, a wild, seventies inspired, proto loving, hard rocking battering ram that is chuck full of riffs, drums and amazing bass work! The way they make the chaotic and the excessive come together to form harmony and delight. It will feel like freedom personified, the ability to do whatever the hell you want. Which seems to be the main emotion throughout the record, which is also the main lyrical focal point on most of the songs. Jailbreak in the literal sense, like on <i>Shapeshifter</i>. Or escaping the prison of one’s mind, it's all there to hint at the freedom that hides within humans across the globe. Hitting you in strides, after that opener, is an eleven and half minute rocker called <i>O.B.E.</i> Which opens like a logical, expanding and explosive follow-up to <i>Shapeshifter</i>. Freak blues, freak out psych all rolled into one; but just before the halfway mark it slows down, dissipating into an ambient almost amniotic ebb and flow, a calm and tranquil rippling of sound, which does not immediately soothe the soul because of the eerie and haunting sounds floating around as well. Third track <i>Dead To The World</i> takes you back to the trash can kicking, freak out psych, seventies blues and garage. Highly energetic and powerful, the guitar once again is allowed to take center stage and furiously deliver his groovy and overwhelming axe-work. <i>Dark Recollection</i>, shifts down one notch, but only in tempo, not in the output showing off their technical tour-de-force. And where this kind of technical playing often lacks soul and groove, this isn’t the case with <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sonic Wolves</span>. It might tire you from spending all your energy to keep up, but it is never tiresome. On the contrary, its riveting and invigorating, it will have you bouncing off the walls and dancing on the ceiling. They slow down once more to atmospheric, spacey and calming sonic waters after three minutes of <i>Heavy Lies The Crown</i>. But that will be all the respite and ease you get, for the three tracks that follow are all blow out, festive, metal touched and full of vigor. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">III </span></i>is highly explosive! Why yes! On their third full-sized album <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sonic Wolves</span> show us they like to burn the candle at both ends, and that those candles are sticks of dynamite! <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Sonic Wolves</span> are here to make it all go boom! <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 />So...

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?

And then the vocals kick in, immediately taking it into proto and classic heavy metal territory. Out on <span style="font-size: large;">Piranha Music</span>, the three tracks on <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Into The Night</span></i> are pure glittering metal gold! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://hydra666.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-night" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Hydraband666/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hydra666official/" target="_blank">Instagram<br /></a><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxhjgOwA3ikKy-2mOIBVZgbZFo3WgnE6sghWpwNiRXNg81KGbESjxijnp_Hj3i_D0QLUh_THN1pvVB9ijEL5Tb33fPU3iGdljPjty_daBykhJE-5IhdNt-MzBij1tx82fbfDy5enozYAssqBuv7OENvN1TUvQtLpx0-BRdoaUTYtZAQ7zteqijUT7wAk/s1080/Cannabus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxhjgOwA3ikKy-2mOIBVZgbZFo3WgnE6sghWpwNiRXNg81KGbESjxijnp_Hj3i_D0QLUh_THN1pvVB9ijEL5Tb33fPU3iGdljPjty_daBykhJE-5IhdNt-MzBij1tx82fbfDy5enozYAssqBuv7OENvN1TUvQtLpx0-BRdoaUTYtZAQ7zteqijUT7wAk/s320/Cannabus.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Cannabus – Desert Trip</span></i><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Out… TODAY!

It’s the lead single for their new EP called <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Other Side </span></i>arriving April 19th and it’s a scorcher! Once again on that crazy <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Black Throne Productions</span> label, the new single sports all that seventies guitar work, laced with stonerrock and rolled up into a blues groove.

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. She’s about she… And that's okay... <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=120814189/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://chelseawolfe.bandcamp.com/album/she-reaches-out-to-she-reaches-out-to-she">She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She by CHELSEA WOLFE</a></iframe><br /><a href="https://chelseawolfe.bandcamp.com/album/she-reaches-out-to-she-reaches-out-to-she" target="_blank"><br />Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cchelseawwolfe" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cchelseawwolfe" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://chelseawolfe.com/" target="_blank"><br />Homepage</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNmelYQN9bSqdkGYG8z3kq5dj5b6isAD2cWrsEaPhuqi-qkUqJUG68B2tLecEQkY-eVMgoy9KR-WIDowd24vCgbQBocCNZXg80RCyVc6j3ZrrjwUNLBxV7tbNHfanIiWEt4iXzr-knwGlVwKk25eYZMwH4kd35Ds_eJhDabv-HvwCZq7zqgJjshZwoD1o/s1200/Chelse.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/AVvXsEgNmelYQN9bSqdkGYG8z3kq5dj5b6isAD2cWrsEaPhuqi-qkUqJUG68B2tLecEQkY-eVMgoy9KR-WIDowd24vCgbQBocCNZXg80RCyVc6j3ZrrjwUNLBxV7tbNHfanIiWEt4iXzr-knwGlVwKk25eYZMwH4kd35Ds_eJhDabv-HvwCZq7zqgJjshZwoD1o/s320/Chelse.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-49387349916253180672024-03-11T07:17:00.003+01:002024-03-11T07:17:47.464+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/AVvXsEg511P2Ha2BWXaHJem25_XB1nVrJikizhlY0wUKqaq7ih8LbHQfPLo7QSkx7n8huW9Ov33aldV3urmwdETK_WgcVJzj40QAfcLO1MsJDhqP4lGoifQkvaMshiIhANZaldcQSfGiHCLCh8kUgxS54JrOvr2jciuTkGM6tjEBvrjgqx39Gt2EYDS11gMIu1s/s1200/MostPlayedLastWEek.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/AVvXsEg511P2Ha2BWXaHJem25_XB1nVrJikizhlY0wUKqaq7ih8LbHQfPLo7QSkx7n8huW9Ov33aldV3urmwdETK_WgcVJzj40QAfcLO1MsJDhqP4lGoifQkvaMshiIhANZaldcQSfGiHCLCh8kUgxS54JrOvr2jciuTkGM6tjEBvrjgqx39Gt2EYDS11gMIu1s/s320/MostPlayedLastWEek.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <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…</i><br /><br /><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/full-tone-generator-refuge-of-sinners.html" target="_blank">Full Tone Generator</a><br /><a href="https://acidmammoth.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Acid Mammoth</a><br /><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/appalachian-death-cult-welcome-to-cult.html" target="_blank">Appalachian Death Cult</a><br /><a href="https://blendofstones.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Blend of Stones</a><br /><a href="https://dekonstruktor.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Dekonstruktor</a><br /><a href="https://lieheavy.bandcamp.com/album/burn-to-the-moon" target="_blank">Lie Heavy</a><br /><a href="https://slutavverkning.bandcamp.com/album/levande-charader" target="_blank">Slutavverkning</a><br /><a href="https://burntsherpa.bandcamp.com/album/last-or-later" target="_blank">Burnt Sherpa</a><br /><a href="https://stonerhive.blogspot.com/2024/03/empty-full-space-from-limbo.html" target="_blank">Empty Full Space</a><br /><a href="https://blessedblack.bandcamp.com/album/seasons-vol-2-2" target="_blank">Blessed Black</a><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to another Monday morning!

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>. I feel warm and fuzzy inside, yes, and I feel entirely welcome...<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=518647181/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://appalachiandeathcult.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-the-cult">Welcome to the Cult by Appalachian Death Cult</a></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://appalachiandeathcult.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-the-cult" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/appalachiandeathcult/" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/appalachiandeathcult" target="_blank"><br />Instagram</a><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAcpVvqNcISwg_kC_Tk0nQm-HFMdwXngwdcBT1Tl3CaZlaD7064WOoJY5UXN1TODt0ebTk-fR8Ry78M2I7rLaw8qsvuUKcSVPmv4Zho86ioPou7z0CKAkoj4x5bb6fMvVc50YSlQ9Cy_98jymSJRR8H4ReLiQM8TqDeTUOn13kyyFvDirnTlkfEwrYPWg/s1200/Appa2.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/AVvXsEjAcpVvqNcISwg_kC_Tk0nQm-HFMdwXngwdcBT1Tl3CaZlaD7064WOoJY5UXN1TODt0ebTk-fR8Ry78M2I7rLaw8qsvuUKcSVPmv4Zho86ioPou7z0CKAkoj4x5bb6fMvVc50YSlQ9Cy_98jymSJRR8H4ReLiQM8TqDeTUOn13kyyFvDirnTlkfEwrYPWg/s320/Appa2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joop Konraadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10628019138667701892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644178712333438466.post-21261124733760947792024-03-08T10:32:00.000+01:002024-03-08T10:32:15.295+01:00Satori Junk – Venezia<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8M-blIRpE5eUkM5hyphenhyphenmB9l6UQP6NAGeab2WND3br8r_cABKewY03DtiUwDt2v4YceEqDexhpuWO9U_GlPC3TuJpCkrFkTf4boxznaCL2NIPJJQD9cvJ_9zN0dz7b0o2SM1mdn7-7dGuYzEVSzWM0zmyEfjzpQI9NtbfnhDxnF5f72u9fiSNrFh1THXi7g/s1200/Satori2.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/AVvXsEg8M-blIRpE5eUkM5hyphenhyphenmB9l6UQP6NAGeab2WND3br8r_cABKewY03DtiUwDt2v4YceEqDexhpuWO9U_GlPC3TuJpCkrFkTf4boxznaCL2NIPJJQD9cvJ_9zN0dz7b0o2SM1mdn7-7dGuYzEVSzWM0zmyEfjzpQI9NtbfnhDxnF5f72u9fiSNrFh1THXi7g/s320/Satori2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Satori Junk – Venezia<br />Industrial Ölocaust Recordings – 2024<br />Rock, Ambient, Classic, Prog, Doom, Psych, Instrumental<br />Rated: ****<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Somewhere around 2012 we were ordered to go to Milano and do a travel story for a magazine about a rock and roll weekend in the grand old lady of Italy. 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. A tale of horror translated into a grandiose piece of music, often feeling like this is the kind of compositions that <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Satori Junk</span> will ultimately need to dive further into, the classic, prog and cinematically rich music that will make the listener envision all those crows picking at the bodies and the rats scurrying about… <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br />Ps.

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.

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.com0
