Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Weekend

 

 

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Weekend

Saturday has arrived and it’s even more hot and sweaty over here! Already 30 degrees and we’re not even around midday… Which, means it’s the perfect temperature for another round of Quick Fire action! We did a full Quick Fire Weekend before; and we might just do that again… Starting today! It is that thing we do to mention a lot of singles, EP’s, demo’s at once. Occasionally a full-sized album gets this treatment as well. And we know… They are worth way more of our time! But you know how it is… There is so much out there, so much good an heavy stuff, and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. Another one of those Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Weekends! And it burns hot like molten lava!

 

Earl Redd Trucking – Sleeping with the House on Fire / Gambler's Home 

 

A new two track release by Earl Redd Trucking. The Louisville, Kentucky three come out swinging with yet another duo of pretty lo-fi, damn gritty, hard hitting blues rockers. Hardrock, diesel blues, southern heat, it’s all there once again. And they’re about to record another single as well… Fumes all around! Smell you guys soon!

On Stoner HiVe

 

Somnium – Truth Set Me Free

This is Somnium from Adelaide, Australia. (Not the Indonesian one.) And they produce some chilled out, laid back, psych rock that surely tries to set you free with their Truth Set Me Free single. The duo (or still three?) go from trance inducing indie rock to slacker hippy prog within the space of this four and half minute windy, drifting rocker. Feel the breeze... Catch a wave... Dig it!

Magic Chicken Fudgetoe – No Personality

We shall reside Down Under a bit longer and go berserk with sludge metal outfit Magic Chicken Fudgetoe and their new single No Personality! Thrashy, Punky, Noisy and all that good stuff that you want your Magic Chicken Fudgetoe to contain. Two and a half minutes of highly energetic ruckus that will give you the perfect soundtrack for punching a few holes in as much walls as you have around you! Can you hear me screaming?! Out on June 24th!

King Potenaz – King Potenaz (Demo 6:66)

King Potenaz is a powertrio from the south of Italy. Fassano, Italy to be exact. The three Kings released their first two tracks back in January of this year. Proto doom, proto metal and all done deliciously filthy and deliriously fuzzy. We can be pretty sure that every Sabbath, Sleep or Kyuss loving motherfucker will dig this… And if not, King Potenaz will have them hanged, drawn and quartered! All hail King Potenaz!

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday

 

 

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday

Perhaps you noticed the lack of updates on the HiVe… Well, we’ve been doing a lot for the Doom Charts the past weeks. And with another little trip coming up; everything else had to take a backseat. But the Doom Charts schedule will soon return to normal and after we return around the 7th of February; so will the HiVe. Si senor, after that, Stoner HiVe will commence the normal show as well… But before we head out on another little trip, we leave you with yet another Quick Fire Friday about 2021 releases… Cause there is still so much out there that we love to mention! So, why not do loads at once during a Quick Fire Friday session?! Why not indeed! And we know, we know, the albums and bands deserve more than the few words we will jot down here. More attention and more of our time! But there is so much out there and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!

Heidrún – Heidrún

It came out during the European summer this Mexican stoner and sludge gold; six tracks that steamroll you like the supermassive mother sludgers that they are! Indeed, I stole the Komatsu line to explain what Heidrún sounds like. No that they sound like Komatsu; but they do have that barreling attitude! Massive sludge, dark stoner and some prog and psych touches to keep things exciting. Damn good stuff! I should ask my buddy in Mexico to do an interview with these cats!

Dark Ocean Circle – Bottom Of The Ocean

The four from Stockholm, Sweden that are Dark Ocean Circle delivered their four track Bottom Of The Ocean EP in November of 2021. Hardrock, metal, with overtones of all that’s heavy. Stoner and a seventies approach give Dark Ocean Circle enough cool energy to power through the four tracks like a meteor. And down there on the Bottom Of The Ocean the stoner metal sound gritty, raw and majestically bluesy!

Grey Moth – Love & Hatred

A first single from a new doom metal duo called Grey Moth. They hail from LA and embrace the natural balance of power between good and evil, dark and light, ugliness and beauty, life and death. Love & Hatred is the lead single for the album, recorded with Jack Shirley (Deafheaven) that will arrive somewhere in March. It’s doom. It’s dark. It’s grey and it’s mothy…

The Soul of Salem – From The Hands of Witches

The Soul Of Salem consists of four Italians that hail from Bari, way down south, where the heel of the boot begins. They released their From The Hands Of Witches EP when the first lockdown started. Back in 2020 and therefor never took the time to really promote it. Which is a shame, for the bluesy doom, the swaggering psych is enticing, it has soul and it deserves to be heard. So, go ahead and click that bandcamp link.

Old Sea and Mother Serpent – Plutonian

That Addicted Label keeps releasing wicked underground doom acts from the East side of the globe. Old Sea and Mother Serpent is one of those duo’s that melts doom, sludge, stoner and drone into one noisy melting pot. Four tracks give you an intense almost eighty minute ride through the dark and twisted landscape. A slow ride…

Deep Valley Blues – III

What’s in a name right? The blues! The Deep Valley Blues! Well, the four from Catanzaro, Italy definitely play the blues, but a gritty, hardrocking, stoner infusing version that has some sludgy moments and some metal thunder. The eleven tracks on III will have no trouble luring you in; in fact once the bluesharp hits in that first song, you shall definitely be hooked! Hey, they did not make the December Doom Charts of 2021 for nothing! As Madman Tony Maim already remarked: “The blueprint is rock but Deep Valley Blues have stomped their own brand of riffage, producing a slew of meaty, heavy stomp monsters!”

Earl Redd Trucking – Paradise Road

Remember Atomic Thrillride? Well, one of those cats started a new powertrio named Earl Redd Trucking. Hailing straight from the southern gentlemen town Louisville, Kentucky the two tracks on the Paradise Road single give you hardrock, blues trucking and a whole lot of southern energy! And guess what, it’s on the 666MRDoom channel!
