Number 7

 

 

Number 7

We need a bit more than thirty points to get to Number 7 today. But after this spot, the jumps in points get much bigger. Huge in fact. Also huge is the amount of great releases by Ripple Music, we already mentioned that fact, but yes, the album we find on Number 7 was once again a Ripple release. Insane! And it was one of the first of the year and perhaps logically landed on the Number 1 spot of the January Doom Charts. They hail from the UK and channel that spirit you know so well from the nineties alternative scene and the grunge that was prevalent. And they sort it all out through a heavy, fuzz drenched, stoner lens. Turning it into a feral, atavistic and groove ridden stonerrock beauty. Quintessential stonerrock in fact! Packed with chunky live-wired riffs, cool clean vocals and moody psychedelics atmospheres, the album feels raw, authentic and irresistibly catchy. They balance smoke soaked heaviness with fluid hooks and bluesy melody. It's familiar yet fresh, comforting yet ferocious. A gust of wind through the stoner rock hallways, a healing, a hypnotic trip that feels instantly like home… A refuge for the beautifully damaged…

Love For Loud Fest

 

 

Love For Loud Fest

The honorable Els Bruinewoud has been in the booking and management scene of the heavy underground in one way or another for ages but decided to strike out on her own over a year and a few moons ago. Her philosophy is one of pure philanthropic love for the underground, the music and the bands is encapsulated by the name she chose: Love For Loud. Trying to organize all concerts and festivals in a way that all proceeds go to the ones performing and the small independents that help out with organizing those amazing nights. Well, on March 29th will be a new culmination of all those factors when she organizes the first Love For Loud Fest at Het Groene Veld in Amsterdam. A second date is set for end of May, but with what bands we do not know yet. But the line-up for the event on March 29th is one the stuff of dreams are made of…

Omega Sun

Syberia

An Evening with Knives

Scorched Oak

Dunes

The Doors open at 17:00 and will offer entrance to the bar and restaurant, that will serve ‘an easy going diner’. First band will start at 20.00 and the bands will finish at 1.00.
