Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday
Hey you everyone! We’re here to inform you that we are doing another Quick Fire Friday today! And we might just actually do an entire weekend! That’s right! A weekend full of Quick Fire action! So, to see if this might actually come to fruition, you’d best be checking in tomorrow. Cause we will do two more days of Quick Fire heavy action, trying to spread to good word on something good and heavy! And we know… There is so much out there, so much good and heavy stuff, and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. Another Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!
The Absurd – NOX
Out since the end of March, the NEW three track EP by The Absurd! It’s called NOX and will knock your socks off! Catchy by default and groovy as hell, the three tracks give you all you could possibly expect by The Absurd. Energy, charm and wit all spread out by absurdly tight riffs and all done wonderfully fuzzy! The Absurd is electric!
WE ARE H – Diskonstrukt
WE ARE H is a three piece from Leverkusen, Germany dedicated to explosive stampedes and heavy atmospheres. Indeed, sludge core, hard core, post metal, and more. Eight forceful metal tracks, that will gale it’s riffs and beats down your throat with little time for you to gasp for air. Diskonstrukt is like a siren blast in the middle of the night, a shortcut through a glass labyrinth via a hammer, delivering its often depressive and drug references with screeches, screams, howls and burls. With Karakorum being one of the few moments where their post metal brilliance receives the light and time to properly shine…
Dope Skum – Gutter South
Exactly one week from now, and all of you will be able to enjoy the new Gutter South EP by Dope Skum as much as we already have. We already mentioned their Folk Magic single a while back and we reckoned we should also say a few words about the entire seventeen and a half minutes of Dope Skum’s Gutter South. Sludge, doom, punk that feels incredibly sweaty and grimy to the touch. But touch it you must, cause it has this most irresistible quality, like a dubious batch of murky hooch, it might burn your throat but you will get the biggest buzz you can imagine…
Ambergris – Ambergris
It has been called the treasure of the sea and floating gold, it is produced by sperm whales and has been used for centuries, but for many years its origin remained a mystery. And it is also an instrumental sludge doom band from Providence, Rhode Island. We’re talking about Ambergris and their self-titled two track debut. They call it ‘Sonic Sludge’ and has the temporal ability to make those twenty minutes of heaviness feel like five; heavy on mood and atmosphere, a touch of something punk and a whole lot of mystery! It’s Ambergris!
Vazum – V-
Deathgaze, darkwave, gothic, noir, new romantic and punk. V- is a greatest hits album consisting of songs from 2020-2022 re-recorded with the punk rock ethos of Vazum's live performances. Some stonerrock influences and charmingly spooky influences. “Lyrically, V- is fueled by a distaste for idol worship, social media influencers, self-righteous zealots, corporate greed and consumerism and speaks out against domestic abuse and self-harm.” And brought to you by both the members of the duo, giving you two sides of a coin. Dark chestnut and angelic light. For those not in the know about Deathgaze duo Vazum, V- is the perfect place to start…
Solcura – I Am Weak
Alternative rock, a lot of nineties influences, grunge, metal and some prog touches! It’s the new I Am Weak single by Bournemouth, UK quartet Solcura. The first single of a new five-track EP to arrive this year. Very much in debt to the glorious days of the grunge and alternative scene, they make the sound, the tradition entirely their own. This is something that could enchant the masses and make them dominate the world…

The Big Rip – Order of The Goat Lord
This one won’t come out till early May, but why not get all of your engines running, blood pumping and send you to their bandcamp site to check out earlier singles. Cause the new EP is even better! We are talking about Norwegian foursome The Big Rip and their soon to be released Order Of The Goatlord! The self-proclaimed fast paced stoner and scandi rock outfit starts their new EP out with a semi-acoustic and honest, Americana infused track called Nomad. Warming your soul, before the doom and stoner can take hold of you once second track Goatlord starts. Midtempo heaviness to warm your blood even further! That chugging riff, so steamingly hot. Magus, Magus starts a bit faster and will have you howling along for sure. And that guitar work, ouch, blistering! And so are the drums, scalding! Final track Mons Meg, will seal the deal! The Big Rip is big fire!
