Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields


Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields
Argonauta Records – 2021
Rock, Blues, Seventies
Rated: ***

It will be released tomorrow. The debut self-titled album by the Wooden Fields trio. Featuring guitarist Sartez Faraj from Three Seasons, Mouth Of Clay. Siena Root bassist Sam Riffer and Fredrik Jansson Punkka from Witchcraft, Angel Witch & more on the drums. So indeed, a veritable who is who from the Swedish heavy rock scene and this of course immediately promises a lot for the debut release. It delivers the goods without a doubt, but perhaps due to the high expectations, not completely. We are treated to seven compositions that will surely transport you to the seventies and not only that, but often to a more soft-spoken Jimi Hendrix concert, where you are sure to ride your dirt-bike around the rings of Saturn and then take a breather on a colorful shag carpet. It’s fuzzy, bluesy, soulful and electric. Vintage by default, the bopping rhythms, the soulful vocals and damn tasty guitar work are there to bring an ode to nostalgia. Three cats that that know what they want to do and what to bring; but did not manage to capture lightning in a bottle out there in the fields. Out there in the Wooden Fields… This time around…

The Doom Chart for March 2020


Doom Charts
"Don’t worry ’bout a thing, cause every little thing’s gonna be alright." ~Bob Marley

"And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be." ~The Beatles


Doom as defined; ruin, death, fate of destiny, unavoidable ill fortune. To those of us here who know Doom intimately as a music scene and community, know its in fact a blessing, a hope, birth, and/or a wonder. One thing we can all agree on; music can calm the nerve and ease the pain with universal healing powers. Lets take this time to revel in Doom. The good kind of Doom, a collective of heavy music and kinship representing all things heavy each and every month. We’re all in this together. 

March has brought us a surge of fantastic album discoveries, with over 300 unique album votes and 21 new entries in the top 25. There are no excuses, we must listen to more music to stay sane during these times of quarantine. If you’re reading this, you’re likely as timid as we are on what the future may bring but you’re also a part of the best of the best in the heavy underground scene; Welcome to the newest edition of the Doom Charts! We’re here to help.

Yes, exactly what Bucky said… We’re here to help! And they're out there... Once again... The March Doom Charts! (Has a nice ring to it...) Get yourself some good tunes to get you through these perilous days! I think six of my choices made the list... But a few others only just missed out... Gomer Pyle, Elder, Sky Valley Mistress and Siena Root for instance are just below that published list... And then there are 300 more below those! What the hell!?! The sheer amount of great music is incredible! The past two months have been amazing music wise! So there’s always a silver lining to those dark doomy clouds… 

Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and album reviewers from the heavy underground around the globe.  Each month, our critics submit their picks for the best new doom, sludge metal, stoner-psychedelic and heavy rock albums.  The results are compiled and tabulated into the chart below.  This is a one-stop shop for the best new albums in the world…

Stoner HiVe’s Top 5 Most Listened To Albums Last Week…


Stoner HiVe’s
Top 5 Most Listened To Albums Last Week…


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!

Numero 11

Numero 11

The Swedish Seventies. Aah yes; these guys stick to their guns. Clothing, hair, albumscovers and their incredbile music. They have the whole package down to an art. Psychedelic rock residing on the top shelf of the seventies. Their fourth record is once again a journey back in time to a place where people still believed they could change the world; and almost did. With influences stemming from Indian and Arabic music we get an ecclectis record full of pure psychedelica. No need for reinventing the wheel; let’s just truck on… With:
