Winter is coming! Days are getting shorter and therefore seem to rush by even faster. Cause it is Monday already and again! But hey, that also means Friday is only a few days away. Did you manage to catch the Doom Charts Freebie bonanza last Friday? Hope you managed to grab a code or two… Last week we had the honor of premiering the video for the Temptation’s Wings track AquaTusk and the full Stormforged EP was released a day later. Which you can read about here. We also jotted down some words about Appalooza, Birds of Nazca and Spin The Skull. Go check’m out! Check’m all out.. 

Ps. We are refraining from making a Spotify Playlist. Unless you reckon we should make one anyway? 

 

I Saw The Deep – Vimana - Top 20 Push

 

Top 20 of 2020 album push post!

As we approach that jump off date for the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2020; we notice that certain highly loved albums aren’t getting the number of votes we hoped they would. So we enlisted the help of the Stoner HiVe Team to try and do one last push to get them higher on the end list…

Up next is the pusher promotion post by Joop Konraad!

I Saw The Deep – Vimana

 

Being the guy entering all the lists doing all the tallying, I notice some of my Top 10 albums of 2020 not getting enough votes. I could actually make a promo post about a lot of them! Grrr! And yes, it’s actually quite distressing to see only a handful of votes for Kayleth’s 2020 Back To Earth and Elden’s Nostromo pass before my eyes. But I’ve chose to commit to doing my PR work for I Saw The Deep and their Vimana release! Vimana is a gigantic slab of doom, progressive and psychedelic and with a massive amount of heaviness. Heavy and deep sci-fi rock, which features power rock drumming with metal riffing and grungy vocals, all combined through experimental escapades. A cathedral of sound! Full of prog, space, stoner and doom. Executed to such an amazing degree with such a freakin awesome amount of heaviness. Seriously! This is stunning! Stunning when it was released in February, stunning now and stunning me for the rest of eternity!

The struggle continues. And it looks like it will for quite some time. But we’re gonna just go on with the Stoner HiVe show as much as possible. Even though, while most have been able to take things slower and work from home, part of mine will take me to the streets and towards all people who need help. Delivering medicine to everyone’s doorstep. Which will probably mean, HiVe time shall be limited. As it will for Madman Tony Maim, the man is on the forefront of the disease as he works in the Hospital. Much love and respect goes out to all those who work in Hospitals across the globe and to our very own Madman in special. Thanks and keep doing that magic you do! And now, we continue on with the telegram style tam tam update of the past week. Stoner HiVe’s smoke signals of the most played Top 5 records. On heavy rotation has been the new Glooming Dawn record by Phe, which shall be released on April 11th. We saw the pretty sweet drawn video for The Lion & the Snake; but the record is much better! Languid fuzz and steamy stoner, straight from the desert. Get ready for Phe! And Jegulja we ofcourse mentioned last Wednesday, their instrumental Exit Sandman record continues on where Darkest Light left us, wanting for more. And this is more on every level! So much groove, so many layers, prog, psych and everything so intensely heavy! Stunning! And yes, I Saw The Deep and their Vimana release will not stop rotating here. A gigantic slab of doom, progressive and psychedelic, deep sci-fi rock, which features power rock drumming with metal riffing and grungy vocals. A cathedral of heaviness if ever there was one! Omens, by Elder, out through Armageddon Records and Stickman Records, continues their very own experimentation and exploration of all the psychedelic genres to an incredible degree. We’ve been loving every Elder release since the HiVe got started, and this will definitely be a new one to adore and treasure. Out next month, it will have you travel through time to distant futures and flow along the sands of time and the magnetic currents. Wild and wonderful once more! The Secret Of Our Time is brought to us by Siena Root. And flows perfectly along the Elder record, giving us another side of the society medal. Out on MIG, the seventh studio release of the Swedes, celebrates all the good stuff from the golden days of rock. One can call it retro or you can call it pure solid gold. Either way, this is one that will play extremely loud and will have you dance around the room, the yard or the attic! Whatever your preference! As long as it is in your house and alone! But since all who listen will be doing it, you will not really be alone. We are with you! Dancing that same weird dance! Check’m out! Check’m all out!

Another telegram style tam tam update of the past week before we head out into the sickly world! Cause the world is sick. Has been for a while. On many levels. But it is now visible to all. The plague is upon us. We will all sneeze ourselves to death. It’s still hard to believe that a new strain of the flu can already disrupt human society and the world to such a degree. What if something even more deadly or contagious hits us? Ye gods! I think everyone should start thinking about heaving a vegetable garden instead of flowers. Might be the wise thing to do… But of course in a few months time this will all have passed and we all will think fondly back at the time when the entire world almost grinded to a halt… We’ll see… But let’s not go the route of all media and start blabbing the same things over and over about the disease. Let’s focus on the things that will get us through this period! Awesome freaking music!! DeWolff streamed a show they did for an empty venue because their tour got cancelled. In my hometown there will be the Isolation Sessions. Featuring bands from the  region, like An Evening With Knives, who are now, like DeWolff unable to tour for their just released album. Those Isolation Sessions will be streamed and will become available for pay what you want purchase on Bandcamp. But that’s the future! The past week was filled with other stuff. We’ve have become totally addicted to I Saw The Deep. We mentioned their Vimana release last Friday on the Quick Fire Friday round and man, the release has rocked me to my core! It’s been on repeat the entire weekend. A gigantic slab of doom, progressive and psychedelic, deep sci-fi rock, which features power rock drumming with metal riffing and grungy vocals. A cathedral of heaviness if ever there was one! Lord Loud’s new album Timid Beast won’t be released till somewhere around September. But we have been blessed by King Volume Records and Kozmik Artifactz to get it earlier. Fuzzy, gritty garage that ticks all the right boxes, from proto to punk and from psych to power! One to look forward to! We had the pleasure to speak with Tim ‘Tipover’ Vanhamel when he released his Sciencing album in 2017. And now he’s already back with another Millionaire release Applz NOT Applz record. (Where’s the ‘not’ sign in ascii codes?) Out on Unday Records its filled with more  earworms and catchy melodies than one can handle, especially since it always turns around on itself and become weird or even insane. And those earworms, those melodies that will stick with you throughout the day do that more and more with every new listening session. Wor Pigs from France released Beasts and it is righteous animal indeed. Heavy rock! Stoner and psychedelic in abundance, bluesy and enthralling. It drags you along on an adventure from those first few notes. There is no escape! And it will get rid of the pain of being a man. And when you’re looking for some tunes to cruise with? To rev up the engine and go out looking for trouble? Check out The Goners new release Good Mourning. The Five from Sweden have delivered a tasty garage and hardrock album that has no trouble showing us all some class. Yes, we are the squares now. And we shall have to pony up the dough, they immediately give you a whiff of something you might never even knew existed. They ride and raid like marauding cavalry, and sound like they’ve punched their way out of a hundred rumbles, stayed alive with only their boots and their fists. Ah, these righteous dudes, they love to screw it on and we love to get loose! So, you’d better go and check’m out! You know you have all the time in the world now! Check’m out! Check’m all out!

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday Friday!

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday 

It's Friday!

And the plague is upon us! Could make all kinds of statements here about global population, the pseudo philosophical fallacy that we call economy, the state of the planet, the state of global pollution and we could go on and on and on. We could offer fun remarks about the moment the disease will mutate and cause the human race to turn into zombies or drooling idiots. Fuck I hate zombies. But we can also just state the obvious: it’s Friday! There is a whole lot of awesome music out there! And we should just all stay indoors and listen to as much of it as we can! 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 its burns hot like molten lava!

Heavy Heavy – Dead Weight and Broken Dreams

Formed early 2019 in a piss-ridden alley way somewhere in a dubious part of Berlin, Heavy Heavy consists of three members that came from all over the globe. We’ve got a Finnish cat, a Ukrainian fella and an American dawg. Inspired by bands like Royal Blood, All Them Witches, Highly Suspect, Death From Above, they set out to rediscover rock music, armed with gritty riffs and thunderous rhythms. Dead Weight and Broken Dreams is the first of many tracks soon to spawn. Mid-tempo and echoing indeed that Royal Blood love, that QOTSA infatuation and that Death From Above craze. These cats will definitely make you move. Shake those curls!

Landing Planes – Departure

Another trio. This time originating from lovely Belgium. And yes, lovely, Liège. Don’t just drive through it, or fly over it, go into the city and visit a lovely town. And if possible catch a show by Landing Planes. Cause their four track debut EP Departures is chuck full of grit! Chuck full of riffs! Of stoner trucking and nineties grunge. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these four tracks and yes, there is a whole lot right! Self produced, self released and available for the amount you think it’s worth! Go give’m yer paycheck!

Lynchwood – Breathe

Lynchwood, a five-piece from Colchester, England. Breathe, their debut four-track EP released on One Eyed Toad Records. Four metal tracks that venture in to hardcore, metalcore and more. Founded early 2017 the band delivers in feverous energy and aggressive punches. Raw and emotional vocals change into mob choruses as they produce ruckus that seems to swing with sledgehammers. There’s attention to detail here; and then there is that Psycho track. Damn! Somewhere in Lynchwood.. The kids are on high street…

I Saw The Deep – Vimana

Inspired by mythology, the paranormal and classic sci-fi, I Saw The Deep crafts a wayward trademark heaviness by morphing cryptic, cinematic story lines into monolithic pillars of sound. Yeah, they do! Vimana, is a gigantic slab of doom, progressive and psychdelic and with a massive amount of heaviness. A rougher version of Orange Sunshine came to mind because of the awesome drums in that opening (title) Track. But no, this is much harder and exceptionally different. Heavy and deep sci-fi rock, which features power rock drumming with metal riffing and grungy vocals, all combined through experimental escapades. A cathedral of sound! Full of prog, space, stoner and doom. Executed to such an amazing degree with such a freakin awesome amount of heaviness. Seriously! This is stunning!  One of my absolute favorite releases of 2020 so far! A new obsession has been born!
