Morning! Welcome to another new start of the week and a Stoner HiVe glance back to the  week passed. It’s gonna be a hectic week and a very annoying day over here. But luckily we have that amazing music to help us get through it all! We’ve been listening to the albums that made the First ever Doom Charts list from March 2015, and that is reflected in the list above of course. Congrats once again to the DC and all its Contributors. We did a Quick Fire Friday, posted videos by An Evening With Knives, Komatsu and Point Mort. Love For Loud published her list of gigs for March and yes, we also promoted that interview with did for Aftershocks TV / Seismic Sounds. We talked a lot about Stoner HiVe and Doom Charts and it was a weird honor to do so. The honorable poet Ronny Dijksterhuis delivered two amazing reviews for the split album by TTTDC and Sons Of The Ionian Sea and Hempire. And yesterday we posted reviews for Ironrat and An Evening With Knives. Not too shabby listed like this. But of course, we always want to do more… Don’t think that can happen this week. But we’ll try! Go check out the write-ups and check out the playlist for the list above, mostly filled with amazing albums from March 2015! Thank you Doom Charts and your big ears!

Morning. They are hectic weeks over here. But most of the assignments are music related this time, so I’m not complaining. It did mean we had little time to HiVe. And will also have little time this week. We did manage to mention two drone release. Droner and Ethel Cain, a proto metal single by Midnight Whiskey Massacre and were just in time to get you all even more revved up for the Scatterling Empire album by Acid Magus that dropped last Friday on Mongrel Records. Heard it yet? If not, better get on it! And you know the deal, you’d better check’m all out! It might just be your new favorite record.

A Monday that feels like a Sunday, thanks to a national holiday and a different kind of morning… An amazing and emotional night with Masters Of Reality and Alain Johannes last Thursday and a great evening filled with four bands yesterday. New Dutch bands Enma and Alternator opening up for Ruff Majik and Monkey3. And all of them delivering the goods! And thanks to my lovely wife, the Ruff Majik four got to crash reasonable comfortable on my living room floor… I hope it was reasonable at least… Just like I believe they weren’t too weirded out by that way too long story we wrote about Ruff Majik, there last album Elektrik Ram, the new single What A Time To Be A Knife, (which they played last night) and their touring life… A quieter week is forthcoming, so perhaps we can get more HiVe work done? We’ll see. But we did mention the new video by Coilguns and Horseburner last week. And ofcourse jotted down some words about the awesome new High Noon Kahuna album and breathtaking new Maragda. Be sure to check those out and be sure to check out the others in the Most Listened Last Week list… They all kick serious ass!

There’s a new Doom Chart on the horizon. Are you ready for that? I think one or two of the ones mentioned here might make it? Three of the TOP 10 above would also make it to the Most Listened to albums of Last Week. Cause Chelsea Wolfe’s new album Birth Of Violence keeps getting spun. As well as the awesome Immanent Fire record by Emily Jane White. Who, for the Dutch freaks out there is currently touring the Netherlands. She will play Cacaofabriek, Helmond tomorrow for instance. And the album accompanies my current reading material as if they were made for eachother: The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells. And the other is Solace and their The Brink album, out through Blues Funeral Recordings. Their sounds keeps moving back into time when all the heavy goodness started and The Brink brings their stoner metal, doom twist and old school atmosphere in pure glowing brilliance. It will give you goosebumps and make you feel hot and cold all over! Classic in every sense of the word!  Two others that aren’t on this last but were often listened to last week were Tainted Lady and their Sounds Like Freedom-Feels Like War release and Gourrama by The Shattered Mine Machine. Both definitely need your ears! And the HiVe needs your help! Did you see the first post about the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2019 go up? If not, go read it, if so, get cracking on your list of favorite albums and send it to us before December 12! (Send it HERE!) And hey, this year all the sent in lists also compete for a little lottery giveaway thingy… So… Check’m out… Check’m all out!

Philiac – This Appalling Ocean

Philiac – This Appalling Ocean

Self released – 2015

Rock, Psych, Prog, Stoner

Rated: ****

As enigmatic as Yawning Man or Across The River, but not quite that old, and for that matter the band we mention today shares a lot of the same qualities as well. Not just in sound or meandering music but also in the way that having been around for quite a period they only now found time to send out a first release into the world. It’s called This Appalling Ocean. And when you hail from an island like Ibiza one can only wonder at which ocean they are directing this outburst. Another thing they have in common is the fact that the band set foot in the famous Rancho De La Luna studio to record this psychedelic screed. We are talking about Philiac, a mysterious collection of friends from the Hills of San Carlos, Ibiza that started jamming together in a farmhouse in 2007 and changed their name to Philiac a year later. Since then they’ve been honing their progressive psychedelic rock craft until they were ready to record. Engineered by Mathias Schneeberger at the Rancho they had bassists Paul Powell from Masters of Reality join the ranks on certain tracks and Mathias delivers some synths. Cause even though the record is comprised out of Act One and Act two, there are definite separations to be heard. For instance, we hear Oppenheimer’s ‘Now I Am Become Death’ speech at the first interval right after the second track What If You’re Wrong? Yes, those first two tracks melt together seamlessly. Some additional tracks were recorded in Nagasaki, Japan and Ibiza, Spain. Among the recorded sounds are also the noises of children playing and the wind rushing through the trees at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which are mixed with Oppenheimer speech. And those sounds were recorded in the memorial park at the hypocenter of the explosion. Thats how deep these cats go. And the final master session was done at The Mastering Lab (Pink Floyd), where it was one of the very last albums they mastered before closing their doors after a decades long career. A lot of majestic background for two precious Acts of music. But does this story add to quality of the music? We’re not sure. We are sure however of the absolute beauty it conceals. There’s something precious about these psychedelic screeds. It’s an adventure and an experience. One that definitely feels liberating and shows you many sceneries, full of color, if you choose to follow. But these cats are gentle leaders and once you tune in, you will become like a shadow in the ocean, drowning in the endless and wonderful waves…

Masters Of Reality - Corpus Scorpios Electrified 

 How's that for a weekend starter?

5

Numero 5

The living legend behind this album has been credited with discovering Kyuss, creating the sound of Queens of The Stone Age and being the Godfather of the stoner and desert rock. Mass producing records all over the place he has only found time to release six studio albums with his own band. Only six, even though the band started out back in 1981! On this new album the listener is treated to eleven songs that drown in the magical realism that colors the man’s life. It grabs back to his earlier work and not to the last album before this Give Us Barabbas; while still moving on and going into places he has not yet visited. Much more in free form jam style the repetitive nature and hypnotic melodies and vocal-lines give the record a dreamy alien atmosphere. Adoring the magical mystery Merlin; we cross over…
