Aussie stoner doom merchants, Oceanlord unleash their debut album “Kingdom Cold”. With a story that has become very familiar, the trio put the tracks together during lockdown in their Melbourne home studio. The whole stoner, psyche doom scene is well… Continue Reading →
Obviously a simple umlaut on their name is not enough for this band. Comprising of four gents and a lady and hailing from various parts of France, not a huge amount is known about them other than the fact this… Continue Reading →
