Full Album Premiere – Kayleth – New Babylon

You just watched that awesome video for their new single Pyramids! Right? And we jotted down a few words about this wonderful new Kayleth album just a day ago. Which you read of course… If not, you can read what we’re loving about the New Babylon record right HERE. Grin… But it’s wiser to just press play, cause there will be no other album coming out this year that manages to translate heroism into music this well. Out on Argonauta Records on Friday the 24th, the Kayleth five have taken their stoner metal sound, infused it with even more space rock elements and grunge and will take YOU with them on an adventure on a distant planet. Yes, the story continues and New Babylon is the next chapter for the Kayleth saga!

For the new Pyramids video go HERE!


Pr Wire:

"It has now been four years since our return to earth in "2020 back to earth". There we had found a cold and inhospitable place, humanity was inexorably channeled on the path to extinction. We therefore decided to flee immediately in search of another planet where we could dwell. We therefore came to New Babylon, a planet inhabited by humanoids but also by monstrous and ravenous creatures. There are "giants" that march about raising immense clouds of dust, stealing and plundering everything from people. Giants much like our corporations, they know no defeat and have no weaknesses, at least apparent ones. There are old warriors like Jarek who wait for war to feel like heroes, to feel alive. They find their dimension within the battle, where the line between hero and assassin magically blurs. There are pyramids erected by men who think they are gods and turn the things life gives them into weapons and death, changing their use and meaning. Little men who think themselves omnipotent, burying knowledge of how life works under piles of lies. We find a myriad of slaves, surrendered to live in huge troughs. They toil at nothing and find meaning in nothing. They prefer a convenient lie to an inconvenient truth. In short, we realize that we have arrived in a world very much like Earth. We are aliens but in a certain way we feel at home. We want to know, to understand, to evolve. We don't recognize ourselves in this deceived humanity, we don't give in, we believe. Nature, life is wonderful but when one thing loses its usefulness life gently explains to it that it is time to make room for something else. This existence has already explained to the dinosaurs. Kayleth continues their journey, never stopping because who seeks will find itself."

The official music video, 'The Night,' is available on Argonauta Records' official YouTube channel.

Kayleth were born in Verona in 2005 and their sound is inspired by the stoner/desert rock of Kyuss, Monster Magnet and 37005 with space influences. Their gigs capture with space sounds, doom and psychedelic breaks and this permits band to share the stage with OJM, Deville, Bud Spencer Blues Explosion, Verdena, Naam, Spiral Arms, Scorpion Child and Stoned Jesus. A new element and his synthesizer arrived on 2013 so Kayleth started to explore new sounds approaching space/psychedelic landscapes and record the new full-length "Space Muffin" released in 2015 by Argonauta Records. In June 2017, the American label Ripple Music included songs from EP "The Survivor" and the unpublished "Magneta" in the vinyl split "Second Coming of Heavy Chapter 6". After the great success of "Space Muffin", the extended version "Rusty Edition" with songs of the EP "Rusty Gold" has been published in July 2017. The band has published "Colossus" album in 2018 and "2020 Back to Earth" in 2020. Both were very well greeted by critics and audiences, with excellent reviews by music magazines.

Kayleth are:

Massimo Dalla Valle - Guitar
Alessandro Zanetti - Bass
Daniele Pedrollo - Drums
Enrico Gastaldo - Vocals
Michele Montanari - Synths

Video Premiere – Kayleth – Pyramids

It’s Kayleth Thursday!! And we shall be with you with the FULL ALBUM PREMIERE for the new Kayleth album in one hot minute! Did you read the review yet? If not, go HERE! But first, we give you the premiere for this extremely hot new video, for the new single, the final track of the New Babylon album called: Pyramids! Hot, because of the sun baked ruins in the background and yes, hot because of that lovely female protagonist in the clip. And seriously hot because it’s that closing album track Pyramids! We get to bring you all of that, and it’s hot! Resting comfortably in that doom touched stoner tempo, propelled by the vocals after that opening section, a break down and then another vocalized propellant, before going full force into speed metal territory, while the synth goes absolute batshit crazy. What a closer! What an album! Did we mention it's hot yet?

Worldwide Premiere – The Stronghold by The Lumberjack Feedback

 

 

Worldwide Premiere

The Stronghold by The Lumberjack Feedback

We’ve been absolutely addicted to the instrumental heaviness brought to you by French five-piece The Lumberjack Feedback. Two drummers, two guitars and one bass coming together like a singular magnetic energy current. We wrote some weird and possibly insane words about their new album just yesterday, which you can read HERE or by scrolling down, and we are honored to bring you the FULL ALBUM PREMIERE today. It’s the kind of album that functions as a release; one that will open the valve of your mind, the regulator of your heart and lets go of some of the pressure. There is succor to be found in their sludge and relief in their metal. Yes, it made me feel things. And I can only hope it does the same for you. Cause The Stronghold feels like a tour de force, the masterpiece The Lumberjack Feedback were destined to produce at this time and place in the world…

Check out the FULL ALBUM PREMIERE !

Worldwide Singles Premiere – Maragda

 

 

Worldwide Singles Premiere – Maragda

We’re honored to present to you the Worldwide Premiere for two singles by Spanish progrockers Maragda! We loved their The Reckless / Evil Seed single and we adored their self-titled album from 2021, so we could not be happier to present to you the two brand new singles! And not just those two singles; we also get to premiere a live session! That’s right, Maragda is on fire and is releasing two tracks called Skirmish and My Only Link. AND, a twenty minutes long live session, featuring those singles and the earlier released title track Tyrants. Besides those three tracks there will also be a five minute long interview at the end of the video. Out on May 8th through Spinda Records the Barcelona three have woven another brilliant tapestry of prog, psych, garage and kraut elements. It will once again enchant the listener and take them on a journey through the fantasy universe created by Maragda!

So, in conjunction with MoreFuzz, Outlaws Of The Sun, RockZoneMag and Doomed Nation we give you Skirmish and My Only Link and the Siete Barbas Studio LIVE session!

From the PR Wire:

"SKIRMISH" + "MY ONLY LINK" IS THE NEW DOUBLE SINGLE BY PSYCH ROCKERS MARAGDA

The second album by the Barcelona-based band Maragda will be titled 'Tyrants' and will be released on May 8, 2024, via Spinda Records - pre-orders are now available. After teasing the title track last month, today they unveil a double single comprising the songs "Skirmish" and "My only link", presenting them in both studio and live versions, with the latter extracted from the live session they recently recorded at Siete Barbas Estudios. Melodies, atmospheres, compositions of great complexity, and a garage attitude are the main components of 'Tyrants'.

This way, Maragda continues to unveil this highly anticipated album, which serves as a follow-up to their successful self-titled debut album (2021, Spinda Records) and the live EP "The Reckless / Evil Seed" (2022, Spinda Records). In this new musical journey, the band immerses listeners in introspective themes ranging from self-imposed limitations to the fight for values, love, hope, and farewells. All of this unfolds in a hypothetical fantasy universe, where psychedelia and progressive rock continuously merge, adding nuances of other styles like garage.

For the creation of the album "Tyrants", Maragda embarked on a creative journey that took them to the Big Snuff Studios in Berlin, where they collaborated with studio engineer Richard Behrens, renowned for his work with bands like Kadavar and Elder. Subsequently, the mastering was handled by acclaimed engineer Peter Deimel (known for his work with bands like Motorpsycho) at the Black Box Studios in France, solidifying a successful collaboration that began with their debut album.

In the visual department, the band has once again partnered with Error! Design studio (known for works with Explosions In The Sky, Russian Circles, Mastodon) for the album's graphic design, ensuring a cohesive and captivating aesthetic experience for their followers.

Worldwide Premiere - High Noon Kahuna - Sand Storm

  

Worldwide Premiere - High Noon Kahuna - Sand Storm

We've been raving about this band for a little while now. You might have read that weird review we wrote about their Killing Spree album. And you might have seen our year end list somewhere, featuring High Noon Kahuna and their Killing Spree album in the Top 10. And if you live somewhere in a twenty mile radius from my house, you have been hearing it blasted daily at high volume... Well, we're honored to bring you the video premiere for third single Sand Storm.

 "...Closing track Sandstorm is here to show the squares you can surf in the desert as well. Almost ten noisy, doomy, stoner soaked, and steaming hot minutes of fierce guitar work, and blistering clamor that ends with everything in the vicinity of the three artists being struck before the distortion slowly dies away… And you can finally come up for a bit of air…"

High Noon Kahuna is a trio of veteran heavy music musicians based in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. region of Frederick, Maryland. With Tim Otis on guitar (Admiral Browning / Akris), Brian Goad on Drums (Internal Void / The Larrys), and Paul Cogle on Bass and Vocals (Akris / Black Blizzard).

These three cats have been acquainted for many years and, throughout their accord, have consistently supported each other in all their various bands. At the onset of 2022, this crew found themselves with the fortunate opportunity to jam.

And jam, they absolutely did! When like-minded musicians converge, something mystical happens. By bringing years of influence and admiration for all musical genres, High Noon Kahuna has created an unusual style that disobeys the rule of music categorization. Drawing on influences from Surf, Noise, Punk, Western, Shoegaze, Black Metal, and Doom, it's hard to confine the diversity into a specific box at any given moment.

On Killing Spree, released November 18th of 2022, the band fuses a collective sound from noisy and fuzzy to clean and sparkly, with every gleam in between...

Band quote:  

"The music for 'Sand Storm' was created freestyle; it begins with an upbeat style and ends with utter devastation and doom. The lyrics were inspired by a Creedence Clearwater Revival song and hit on some of the things humankind is doing to planet Earth. The video was produced by Captain Adam's VHS Pirate Ship."
