It’s Tuesday already… I know. Shit went to the crapper again over here. Rent paying work, family stuff, you know the deal. And it won’t be flushed for day or two. But here’s the glance back at last week. And if you weren’t there on Friday you could still head on back and listen to all those bands mentioned on the Quick Fire Friday segment or read any of the two amazing write-up’s Ronny delivered. He wrote something about the cool Rückwater and the funky Eight Foot Manchild. And how can we not profess our love for Planet Desert Rock Weekend, that amazing festival in Las Vegas in January 2025. Or the magic that comes to the Amsterdam stages through Love For Loud. Cause live music is the good shit!
It’s been awhile… Oops! Sorry for that Staind flashback. I just meant to say that it has been ages since we did a Quick Fire Friday segment. And with the onslaught of so much great and fun heavy music, it’s a good time to do a new one. And with the Doom Charts Peroration Post for September going online just now, you will have so much great music to listen to we should prolong the weekend! Cause we know, there’s so much our there! So much good and heavy stuff, and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. But here it is… Another Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!
November Fire – Through A Mournful Song
Released about a week ago, the debut album by New England three November Fire called Through A Mournful Song. Manic energy in abundance, savage, ruinous and delirium inducing. You will surely strive in vain to penetrate the entire mystery surrounding the sounds of this release. Sadness oozing through the compositions, turning the seemingly haphazardous into something that feels like a grand design. Like life itself?
Two of the heaviest, rolling it up for a spliff split and getting you high! It’s Afghan Haze and Purple Kong with their seven inch split Leaving Earth / Bound And Gagged. Released September 27th the two sides of this one release are no tranquil voyage towards infinity. Every riff will fill your being with visions of monuments in ruin and the fall of civilizations, but you will want to keep toking, cause in it, you will see our future.
Released… TODAY! (Or it should be according to the books...) The debut three song release by French quartet Sheraff called Concrete By The Ocean. Sure, they released a demo in 2023, but the improvement these Brest four show on their official release is stunning. Compressed and massive, the three stonerrock tracks are raw and powerful, gritty and colossal, thanks to the doom touches and the metal movements. Sheraff has got the goods!
Back in 2017 the four Men of Mayhem released their Doomed To Life album. Stoner rock, metal, speed rock, hard rock and more. More mayhem that is! And Church Of Crow Records took it upon themselves to re-release that wonderful seven track album. And it will arrive in one week time, on October 25th!
Boogie down and get groovy with the new CCQueen single Electric Kisses. A damn cool video to boot! We mentioned their damn cool Scavenger album back in 2022 and hope the new single is a precursor to a new album soon. Only two and half minutes long, it oozes sensuality and will surely make your body move!
Aeternal Chambers does have some of that Obiat vibe. You know, that band that released that awesome Indian Ocean album in 2022. And Aeternal Chambers features three of its members and turns their sound into a slightly heavier and totally instrumental version. Living in different parts of the UK and Australia, it’s safe to assume they send each other their parts and played of what was received. The output is stunning, highly atmospheric post metal and intense arcs combining and intertwining the light and the dark, the fleeting and the Aeternal…
Ultima Radio hails from Graz, Austria and has been releasing amazing stuff since 2015. Basement Session is their newest six track release and came out on October 4th. Crazy good stonerrock, alternative metal and all sorts of heaviness. With a new frontman at the helm, on the synth, guitar and vocals, the band has grown to immense proportions. Don’t touch that dial, you can have it on for the rest of the day, it’s Ultima Radio!
Wait. There is more. No wait, let’s start at the beginning. All I See is the new single, out since October 4, for the new Mount Hush album II which will be released November 9th. An amazing fuzz filled psychedelic blues track that makes you long for more Mount Hush . You will want to run to the record store and beg the wise and elder owner to order every copy available… . .. . .
Wait… You can! In the form of an amazing RPG game called Into The Hush. Playable of phone or computer it’s a stunning top down look into the past of computer games and Mount Hush . For by playing the game you can earn demos to all of the new songs and if you complete the game a grand prize awaits! “Browse through a record store in the woods, help the people there and complete quests to earn demos of every new song on the album! Save your progress and get a special reward for finishing the game. Listen to new and old Mount Hush songs in this homage to 1990s videogames.” Wow!
