We live close to the Alps, close to the river Isar, where we float and swim and we listen to Heavy Metal. If you visit Tolminator, you have everything of that in one place; a stunning landscape, a beautiful river and a line-up 10/10. The location and the two stages have the right size for an intimate and international festival. We met and talked with 12 different nationalities, heard almost that much of different styles and enjoyed the beauty of Heavy Metal listening to Heavy Metal Bar piano...

After shaking things up with their last album After The Storm, the Munich-based trio Blind Mess is back – and still pissed, loud, and full of fuzz. Their new album The Storm Within is the second part of their “Storm Duology”, and judging by the four tracks out now, it's going to hit just as hard. The opener "The Bell" already shows where the journey is going: heavy riffs, dirty grooves, and vocals that sound like they're shouted straight from the gut. It’s a song about inner conflict,...

La France sait faire du vin, du fromage, et apparemment, du stoner punk à plein régime aussi. Avec Bronca, le groupe de La Fare Les Oliviers nous livre un album serré de dix titres qui sonne comme un road trip endiablé à travers fuzz, feu et pur esprit DIY. Si vous les avez vus en concert, comme au Rising Dead Boys Festival en septembre 2024, vous le savez : ces gars-là ne font pas de concerts, ils balancent des coups de poing musicaux avec le sourire. L'album démarre avec « Broken Nose...

France knows how to do wine, cheese – and apparently, full-throttle stoner punk, too. With Bronca, the band from La Fare Les Oliviers delivers a tight, ten-track album that sounds like a wild road trip through fuzz, fire, and pure DIY spirit. If you’ve seen them live – like at the Rising Dead Boys Festival in September 2024 – you know: these guys don’t play shows, they throw musical punches with a smile. The album kicks off with "Broken Nose", setting a gritty tone that persists...

Some albums are not just music – they are a journey. Conifer Beard's Stranstviy Skaz (which means Tale of Wanderings) is exactly that. From deep forests and quiet rivers to heavy thoughts and burning skies, this record takes you far away from the noise of modern life. The opening track, "Beginning" (Зачин), sets the mood: slow, cold, and full of space. You don’t get catchy hooks – you get atmosphere. The band mixes slow doom riffs with Russian folk melodies, and it works. It's dark,...

What seemed like a coincidence turned out to be one of the best festivals of the year over the course of the day. Starting with the location on a hiking trail through the rocks and maquis at Le fare Les Oliviers, the quality of the bands, the quality of the sound and the light in the venue and the acquaintances we made during the festival.

Thanks to Bandcamp. Today a release by the Russian band "The Kollectors" came through on the Kazakh label "Red Truth Tapes". And the label releases everything that has more than 180 bpm and Marshalls or Orange Stacks turned up to 11. And so do "The Kollectors". Their album "Joyride" dates back to 2017, but is a roaring, stomping piece of hard music that blows the last needles off the Siberian larch trees. There are no fillers on the album, you start listening and then your head falls off your...
