Ufomammut’s music is defined by its universe-scale ambitions. The Italian ‘cosmic doom’ trio traverse infinity atop enormous, groove-leaden riffs that expand and contract, encountering colorful bursts of nebulae in between long stretches of empty, majestic space…

Named after the real-life pirates who attack vessels off the Somalian coast and the peaceful leisure of those with time to kill and money to burn, SOMALI YACHT CLUB musically embodies the boundless, wide-open, quiet/loud spaces that atmospheric post-rock and metal occupy. The band's third full-length ‘The Space’ finds the trio in full expanse of their sonic elements, delivering six cuts of atmospheric post-rock/metal with dashes of melancholy and introspection. A new age of stoner has arrived.

Celebrated Greek progressive psych band NAXATRAS have awoken once again with a mesmerising new album IV. It sees the band move away from their traditional analogue trademarked sound to something more precise and multilevelled. This has given them the ability to explore the outer limits of their psychedelic world, allowing for the band to expand from a trio to a quartet with the recruitment of keyboardist Pantelis Kargas…

Whereas 2018’s Black Heaven featured shorter songs and vocals from guitarist Isaiah Mitchell on much of the album—an unprecedented move for the San Diego power trio—their latest is a return to the epic instrumentals Earthless made their unmistakable name on. Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons is comprised of two monster songs—the 41-minute, two-part title track and the 20-minute “Death To The Red Sun.”

Reality is all well and good, but you can hardly blame bands like KING BASTARD from diving enthusiastically into the grand lysergic sludge tsunami and letting the tides of time and doom take control. "It Came from the Void" is the New Yorkers' debut, but it sounds like a snapshot of something ongoing: a never-ending, whacked-out, post-SABBATH-ian jam, chuntering inexorably away in the swirling shadows, as the mortal realm disintegrates into dust. KING BASTARD call it "psychedelic filth" and that's just about perfect…

Rainbows Are Free is a 5-piece doom metal band from Norman, Oklahoma. They won the 2011 "Woody Award" for "Best Metal Artist" in Oklahoma and again in 2012…

Two weeks ago, German heavy psychedelic rockers Samsara Blues Experiment announced they would be going on indefinite hiatus. Fair enough. 2020 makes it a decade since the band made their full-length debut with the jammy fluidity of Long-Distance Trip, a record that in no small part would define listener expectation from them even as they went on almost immediately to more progressive work. They’d already toured the US by then, hitting the West Coast in 2009 on the heels of their demo (discussed here, review here), and though they wouldn’t North American shores apart from two more shows in 2015, the years since they stopped through have not lacked adventure.

Trapped in Berlin. Alone among four million isolated people. A harsh, never-ending winter. No gigs in sight. Music as a form of therapy has never been as essential as now - gazing inward when gazing out has become way too disillusioning.

The Stone Eye was founded in 2014 by drummer Jeremiah Bertin and Guitarist/Vocalist Stephen Burdick. Following a few years and a couple of lineup changes, with former-Bassist Wolfgang Noll contributing to this upcoming release before his departure, we have now arrived at The Stone Eye's current incarnation featuring the original two members along with Guitarist/Vocalist Christian Mechem and now Bassist, Mike Pacca.

Take a trip into the dark and ethereal realm of Swedish psychedelic doom unit MOON COVEN with their third album 'Slumber Wood'.

With more than 400 shows under their belt during their 26-year career, Munich-based behemoths COLOUR HAZE have released an impressive number of albums, EPs and live albums, which have never found a home for a US release until now. Over the course of their long and expansive development, the trio expanded stoner rock's stylistic boundaries to the extent that reviewers had to invent a new genre for their unique musical expression: "heavy-psych.”

Brant Bjork’s desert vibe meets the punk attitude of Nick Oliveri and creates an explosive mix and a particular branch of rock.

Fantastic instrumental space rock falling on earth made to forget for for a little more than half an hour the fuckin pandemic situation at this planet.

Recorded & Mixed: Soichiro Nakamura at Peace Music, from January to March 2003 / Mastered 2021. Recording Crew: Higasayama “Hatchaku” Kunihito.
