Nun isser raus. Ich finde jeden Tag spannend, weil er das das ganze Spektrum innerhalb der Stoner-Szene abdeckt. Ganz toll als Turbojugendlicher finde ich den Mittwoch, weil Ass Cobra aus Erfurt dermaßen abräumen werden.

Rock im Wald ist nicht nur das hockarätige Line-up, Rock im Wald sind auch zahlreiche Turbojugendliche, Otto aus Erfurt, Steffen aus München, da Peda, dea hinten im Woid parkt, leckere Verpflegung, die lässige Atmosphäre, Pfefferminz im Partyzelt, die weitläufige Location am Waldrand und dass die Bands die Zuschauer kennen. Für die diesjährige Ausgabe haben die Veranstalter den Kreis von ihren punkigen Anfängen vor 15 - 20 Jahren bis hin zu den Stoner und psychedelischen Jahren...

As someone from southern Germany, I have a natural aversion to everything that comes from the rest of Germany, and especially from Berlin. It's all loud, hyped, insubstantial, and much ado about nothing. But since Kadavar, there have been bands from Berlin to whom these attributes no longer apply. The quintet Rising Dao, with their latest release "Zero Some Game," is one such example. The jam-heavy album impresses with a pleasantly warm, mid-range-focused sound, interspersed with lyrical...

Almeria seems to be the Spanish equivalent of Palm Desert, California; a desert in the hinterland, surrounded by mountains, with the only difference being its Mediterranean location. Inland from Almeria lies Tabernas, where Desertfest has become an institution. And the organizers don't have to look far for bands, as ERIAL, a very interesting act, is already on the bill. The varying song lengths suggest different styles. And I'm a fan of 3-4 minute songs because they're usually more direct and...

Sit in the car, choose Bonetower on your playlist, press Play and Repeat and make a nice day cruising. And I swear to you, that goes on both the blocked German motorways as well as in Spanish deserts and steppes. Yes, I've already tried it. This music is actually created in the head with this music. You automatically carry a dusty Ray Ban sunglasses, you get an enormous thirst for the cold bearing beer and at the next petrol station you will fill tens of gallons into your tank just to not end...

Some bands grow on you. Molosser Crude? They grew with me. I've been following Jan and Tess for three years now, and every release feels like a deeper dive into a sound that's equal parts raw, strange, and strangely comforting. Slave to the Voices is no exception. This track crawls out of the speakers like something ancient, wounded, and wise. No flashy solos, no gimmicks – just guitar, drums, voice, and a heavy sense of unease that sticks to your skin. The groove lurches forward like a...

'In the Ashes' is the brilliant debut album from Swedish heavy rock and metal merchants TEMPLE OF DISCORD, led by Wytch guitarist Mattias Marklund. Dark and brooding, yet radiant with multifaceted appeal, 'In The Ashes' explores a wide range of genres including classic heavy metal, alternative rock and grunge, dark folk, and progressive rock. Marklund's vocals are intense and heartfelt, taking the instrumentation into uncharted emotional territories while constantly hovering on the brink of...

Hailing from Pirmasens, the German capital of shoe manufacturing, ZOAHR offering us a time and style capsule of early 70´s Prog Rock, jittery Detroit Blues drenched in a bit of Garage Rock, crowned by a clear and weightless voice. The opener "Endurance Race" is carried by a distorted leading bass. Not in the style of Lemmy's bass, but more like Chris Squire or Geddy Lee. The song lets you feel the tension of a long-distance race, the song never calms down and constantly pushes forward. A great...

If "Mind Mirage" is the red line the record lingers on, then you won´t need any drugs anymore. One of the most mesmerizing songs I ever heard. And at the same time, one of the most addictive loops ever created. OMG! It´s not Mothership anymore, it´s Kelley Juett and this is somethin completely different.
