After a 10-year hiatus, the Portuguese duo "Her Name Was Fire" has released an album that makes us forget the anemic releases of QOTSA. I’m not sure how the two guys intend to present their compositions—which are simultaneously complex and catchy—in a live setting. Well, the record is so good that the band will essentially be compelled to perform it live. I would have personally chosen the second track, "Facekicker," as the opener, as it is somewhat more straightforward—less unwieldy...

German stoner-rockers Giant Lungs return with their second album Praise the Laze. Compared to their debut, the band adds darker psychedelic tones and grungier edges, giving their fuzzy stoner and desert rock more depth and emotion. The album opens strong with Resonora, a heavy, swirling stoner-psych track with a hypnotic pull. Aces follows with a bluesy groove and confident vocal delivery, showing a more expressive side of the band. Dead Space Balloon dives into darker territory with eerie...

If you have longing for old Foo Fighters or the first two Queens of the Stone Age records again and does not want to hear them again, then I recommend this Swiss duo that has kept the writing on your band camp camp page almost as black as its background and its text "adios". Musically, this is nothing new, the bike is not reinvented, but it is properly rocked. The whole song runs a slightly nope, wailing undertone, which is in contrast to the text and music. And with so much incompatible...

Oops, they did it again. King Garcia have now released their second fantastic song, which sounds unmistakably like King Garcia, but is far more dynamic in terms of rhythm, volume, and mood. The song winds its way through a rather reserved mood at the beginning and builds to a real banger towards the end, still seasoned with the slight melancholy that the clarinet exudes as the lead instrument. And it does this more than any human mood, as it has a range of around four octaves, whereas the human...

If you look at the tags, you will agree that QOTS´s drumming on "You think I ain´t worth a dollar, but I feel like a millionaire" starts this song, same for the riffing. But after this the original Greek part starts with a clarinet part and a more polyphonic rhythm which will replaced by the already known QOTSA part. And again the is dodging between Greek folk and progressive Rock and folk. A fantastic song on which you can dance a Chasapiko and bang your head.

Ze Germans chose a fitting band name in my opinion, consisting of part Silvermachine and part Jefferson Starship or even Ship of Fools by The Doors. And you can find these influences in their music. The opener *Kingdom Of Decay* starts softly, with Jan Gehrmann's hypnotic bass and Tim Schröter's groove leading into Nils Kock's melodic guitar and velvety vocals. The song grows heavier after the second chorus, with fuzz guitars adding weight and a stoner rock outro. *Beast* follows, blending...

Okay, we are making an acoustic Molotov cocktail here. Take the "F**k you"-attitude of Nick Olivieri, the cripping voice of John Garcia, a hardcore punk sound, and a drummer with the pedal to the metal. Yes, could be one of the best forward rocking record of this year. Actually, it´s not that difficult; 4 steps down tuned guitars, a bit of hardcore breaks and oriented by the faster Kyuss-songs like "Green Machine", "100°" and others. The first three songs ("Dogs reunited", "Knockin´on...

Brilliant artwork covers brilliant music; a concept for a lot of bands labeled by Go Down Records. Anuseye did some steps back in the period of Protostoner and late Alternative, means around 1998 and so this record remains timeless.
