Another week has passed, one that was filled with off grid time and live energy! That’s right, the real most listened list should mention: Live Music! Cause it was Sonic Whip time! And man, what a great ride it was once again! Amazing sets followed one another like clockwork. But if we pick only one favorite from Day One it has to be Iguana Death Cult. And on the Second Day it has to be Bismut. Indeed, of course, you can rest easy knowing Earthless, The Sword, Acid King, King Buffalo, Hermano, Russian Circles and actually all the rest delivered the goods as well! And yes, we have the Temple Fang - Live At Sonic Whip vinyl... It was the absolute first thing we did entering the venue... Now, we have to get grounded again and get to work so to speak! Only two more weeks though, and then I’m off grid for three weeks… But still some good stuff to do and to listen to before that day comes! Like those Sons of Node words we managed to put up last week. We shall try to do more this week! Let’s get crackin!

Good morning one and all! It’s Monday, the start of the week. And where last week was all about that Hermano, Solace and Troy Torino gig. What a night! Loved every minute of the Solace set and Hermano was tight and grooving and kicking ass! Man they rock! This is about Sonic Whip Festival, starting on Friday. An amazing festival, and two days filled with a stunning line-up! Can’t wait… Before we leave on Thursday, we do hope to get some HiVe work done! And predict at least one or two posts… Grin!

Just like we managed to put something up last week. A few words on the stunning Black Lung record and amazing Tusoc album. Madman Tony Maim graced us with his thoughts on American Sharks and we then did two premieres on one day! One for the kick ass single Foamdrinker from We Follow The Earth and the brilliant Mörkekraft album Fragments. Two sides of the heavy underground coin that both deserve your attention! And last but not least, because of inquiry or two, we put up a Buy Me A Coffee page. It’s a bit weird to put something like that up. But hey, why not right? It's all up in the air and we thank you for checking out the HiVe and reading our words either way... And more importantly, we talked with the main dude behind Phantom Logic, an interview that will go live on the HiVe as soon as we return from our off grid holiday in a few weeks. We are unfortunately too busy with work beforehand. Thanks for stopping by, checking out the HiVe and listening to all that’s good and heavy! Check out the list above, they all rock! 

Tusoc – Monolito

 

 

Tusoc – Monolito
Self-released – 2026
Rock, Stoner
Rated: ****

Maybe it was erased by time or blown away... But I was sure I wrote something about their damn fine 2023 release Éter; just as I was sure the new album Monolito would rank high on the April Doom Charts. And indeed, the new Tusoc album made the published list of 40 out of more than 200 albums that received votes. But I assumed it would end up higher. I also found out I never got around to mentioning Éter… Or maybe it floated away on some strange desert wind… 

They have more and earlier releases as well, live album Vivo Desde el Éter from 2025 and Un Ciprés en Llamas from 2022. But Éter felt like a gigantic step forward and onto a road that would always combine their very own mysterious atmosphere around their drifting, floating version of stoner rock. And on Monolito they manage to do that even more, for each track seems to drift like a chapter from a book that never admits its ending, shifting from haze to eruption, from grief to firelight. 

The Tusoc four have this strange ability to create music that is entirely tangible yet feels like it might vanish as you are listening to it, leaving only minor footprints behind. The pages written with ancient soot crafted ink, remembers the dim lit room where the sounds were created. Somewhere inside a forgotten building in Rosario, Argentina, where the stone corridors sparked with electricity and the air inside remembers those old storms. The bass, the drum, they move like that ancient thunder that emptied the streets, while guitars have the keys to all those hidden doors… Sometimes they open to the riffs conjured by the desert heat outside and at other times submerged cathedrals of sound become everything you can see and feel. 

The vocals, distant and in Spanish, feel like the messages that were written on the walls that have long since crumbled, like on those monuments in ruin… Themes rise, fracture, and dissolve into atmosphere, as if the album is slowly erasing the path by which it was travelling, dusting away those footprints. Monolito by Tusoc is an album that will grab you completely and entirely and you will need to grab, with both hands, both ears and your entire heart. Otherwise it might float away on the desert wind…

Good morning! After a week filled with three interviews, preparing for those and of course a new edition of the Doom Charts, this one will be marked off by a show in Utrecht by the one and only Hermano! Can’t wait to see the Hermano heroes once again! And with Solace and Troy Torino as pre-show this is one hell of a night! Might be going to bed early, just so Friday arrives early… 

And on the HiVe we managed to post something about the new Iron Jinn single, re-posted those words on Corrosion of Conformity and Phantom Logic. And started with that wild Single Premiere for the new Maliciouz! Have you been healed yet by the glacial doom of Catharticism? Check it out! Check’m all out!
