La Chinga - Beyond The Sky
La Chinga – Beyond The Sky
Small Stone – 2018
Rock, Hard, Seventies, Blues, Boogie
Rated: ****
We’ve been loving their Zeppelin sound since we first heard their self-titled debut record La Chinga back in 2013. And the Freewheelin’ album that followed three years later made our head explode and became a soundtrack to many a car ride towards the endless horizon. And now the Canadian trio is back with more and it is more of that sweet seventies lovin goodness! Beyond The Sky is what the new La Chinga album is called, and it continues down that majestic road they started on already quite a few years ago. This time however their seventies hardrock sound seems to slow down a notch. They make the groove go down, down and laidback and the underlying blues current flowing slower. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still rockin and knockin and straight up boogie. But the dances won’t be that wild, but more sensual and lovin. This one is meant for those sweaty and steamy summer nights, the ones you never want to end. Just like this mad hot summer we’ve been having and this crackin new album called Beyond The Sky…

Stoner HiVe’s Top 5 artists listened to last week…
Stoner HiVe’s
Top 5 artists listened to last week…
There will be a few mentions posted soon. You know, us raving about an album we love. Going overboard with the accolades and trying to convey the feeling we get from listening to that record. We still don’t do the technical reviews and we do not try and dissect something we love. We just boast about that feeling and the images it conjures! And when we do this little thingy, telling you about the Five Artists we listened to the most last week. We just quickly want to get out there what music we have been enjoying the most. Sometimes it’s a new record and sometimes we grab back to older ones we adore! Like Sir Bowie for instance, we can listen to the Thin White Duke all day every day. And sometimes the lust for his music grows so big, we cannot shove it aside any longer. We already mentioned the second album Volume II: The Divide by Hyperwülff last week. An amazing follow-up to Volume I: Erion Speaks and everyone should check this duo out. It will grab you somewhere and rattle your bones! La Chinga’s new album Beyond The Sky will come out shortly, just like the mention we are posting tomorrow or soon. Out on Small Stone it’s another damn fine hard rocking, seventies loving, scoot boogying record; and everyone will dig it! When it ranks on the Number 1 spot of the newest Doom Chart you’d better get yer hands on that record and put it on repeat. Brimstone Coven’s latest is called What Was And What Shall Be. Put out by Brimstone Coven themselves, it has all the power and groove one can wish for. And last but certainly not least, we have been doing our crazy dancing to the Ape Machine’s This House Is Condemned after moving on to War To Head and then on to Mangled By The Machine cause there is a new Ape Machine on the horizon and we cannot wait to hear! We love these cats! And you know the deal, you need to check’m out! Check’m all out!

La Chinga – Freewheelin’
La Chinga – Freewheelin’
Small Stone – 2016
Rock, Seventies, Stoner
Rated: ****
On Freewheelin’, the sophomore release by Canadian trio La Chinga, we can definitely do the dirty dance with the ghost of Zeppelin. Cause without a doubt and even more so than on their self-titled debut album, where the groove and the boogie seemed to come more from the stoner rock scene, it’s those mad and powerful years of heavy rock that La Chinga nods to now. We can hear them move towards AC/DC here, ZZ Top there and Thin Lizzy or MC5 on occasion, but the ghost of Zeppelin is everywhere. For instance when Mountain Momma explodes out of the speakers there is no escaping it. Robert Plant and the fellas would be jealous! But they most like already were seeing green during the funky Mother Of All Snakeheads, with the Plant-like exhales of singer/bassist Carl Speckler and the mighty Page-like guitar work of Ben Yardley. And indeed, the stomping drums of drummer Jason Solyom, who unfortunately left the band after the recordings of Freewheelin’, would even make Bonham cry tears of happiness. Its Freewheelin’ thunder down thunder road, accelerating maniacs out to serve you highly spirited rock ‘n roll and make your head explode!

La Chinga – La Chinga
La Chinga – La Chinga
Self released – 2013
Rock, Hard, Seventies, Stoner
Rated: *****
Canadian stoner boogie power trio La Chinga has the strength to make the earth vibrate and tremble and change the flow of different energy currents. They feel how the planet zooms through space and time and they have a finger on the wrist of everything profound. Hear their spectacular beat and rhythm drift along with the pulse. That oscillating 'flutter and flinster' that goes in and out with the tide. This is top shelf old school blues rock straight from the seventies transported into our very own moment in history to let us know that it all might happening sooner than later. This is all the good stuff we know from Zeppelin, Sabbath, MC5 and all the bluesier outfits that came before and after. ‘Those that never went anywhere’. They seem to claim the magical groove discovered back then without any effort and they smile like a Tao master in the face of the future. This is no low down and dirty fuck but the act of making hot steamy, sizzling, sensuous, sweating and endless love…
