Slomosa – Tundra Rock (Stickman Records)

Back in 2020, Slomosa released their debut album with the description of their style of music being “tundra rock”. Naturally then, we have the follow up LP entitled “Tundra Rock” and it finds the band continuing to celebrate that vast… Continue Reading →

High Desert Queen – Palm Reader (Magnetic Eye Records)

“Texas Desert Rock” is a music style that has been applied to Austin rockers High Desert Queen. The moniker is well deserved too. Their sophomore album, “Palm Reader” is not straight out desert rock. The four piece band delve into… Continue Reading →

Sons of Alpha Centauri – Pull (Exile On Mainstream)

Following on from 2021’s Push we now have the other half of the gym split. Well maybe this is not for workout freaks but rather those that love catchy as covid alternative metal /post hardcore with pop hooks and melodies…. Continue Reading →

Gaupa – Myriad (Nuclear Blast)

With Desert Rock, one would be forgiven if your mind jumped straight to the 90’s and the iconic sounds spawned from the Palm Desert area. Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Yawning Man are all bands who spring to mind and the… Continue Reading →

Amon Acid – Cosmogony (Helter Skelter / Regain Records)

Amon Acid haven’t been around that long. Starting life as a duo in 2018, founding members Briony Charvas and Sarantis Charvas have enlisted John Sutcliffe to create a power trio in the truest sense. “Cosmogony” finds the band continuing to… Continue Reading →

Stöner – totally… (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Temple of Deimos – Heading to Saint Reaper (Argonauta Records)

Cards on the table time folks; despite being supposedly “knowledgeable of” and “in tune with” the current stoner sound, an impression apparently formed by those who have met me, but are not close to me, I’m no oracle of the… Continue Reading →

Mud Spencer – Fuzz Soup (Argonauta)

One person projects are de rigeur these days. No time for band members when you got the vision and skills. Instrumental? Of course – don’t need no shouty egotists to take me where I want to go. But …. a one man… Continue Reading →

Stöner – Stoners Rule (Heavy Psych Sounds)

Wow, heavy, heavy, heavy! Like there’s so much to take in with this release man! Okay, bad jokes aside, and that’s the only kind I do, and vaguely serious amateur music reviewing head in place, there is so much history… Continue Reading →

Sunnata – Burning In Heaven, Melting On Earth (S/R)

Poland’s Sunnata deliver their fourth long player since their formation back in 2013. More than your straight-ahead doom band, they offer up a more rounded music experience that pulsates and immerses the listener. “Crows” opens the album with slightly psychedelic,… Continue Reading →

Slomosa – S/T (Apollon Records)

Tundra rock? Fuzzy, desert stoner metal from Bergen, Norway? Yep, you read that right. Slomosa have dropped their debut long player after having built themselves a nice little reputation in their homeland. The band released the singles “Horses” and “There… Continue Reading →

Louise Patricia Crane – Deep Blue (Peculiar Doll Records)

I am not alone having a whole lotta love for musical collective The Eden House. Formed by musicians with various past ties to cult Gothic acts Fields Of The Nephilim and NFD such as Simon Rippin and Stephen Carey they… Continue Reading →
