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,...

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...

From the heart of Indonesia's underground scene, WHITEHOVSE emerges with their debut album, The Mighty One, delivering a potent mix of doom and stoner rock that's as heavy as a monsoon and as raw as a jungle trail. This isn't polished studio rock; it's the sound of five musicians pouring their souls into every riff and lyric. The album kicks off with "Endless Sorrow", setting the tone with thick, fuzzy guitar lines and a rhythm section that feels like a slow-moving freight train—unstoppable...

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,...

Five years after her debut, Stacy Crowne returns with Second To None – and no, the title ain’t just empty words. These guys still don't believe in brakes or ballads. What do we get instead? Twelve shots of dirty, sweaty, and absolutely unpolished rock'n'roll. The kind that smells like beer, dust, and broken promises – just the way we like it. From the first seconds of "Giving Up On You", the band kicks in the door like it owes them money. The riffs are sharp, the vocals have that raw...

With the majority of stoner bands, you have to be happy that a reasonably experienced singer is singing. The English band Dunes has the luxury of having two excellent voices, which alone stand out from the grey mush of "only" lower-pitched music. They have also packed their musical roots such as alternative rock and grunge into a fluffy, booming sound corset, which is very direct, straight and hits the mark. So far, only two songs are available on bandcamp, namely "Voodoo" and "Riding the Low",...

A promising single by Swedish rockers Möuth. That´s the way I like it, I could listen to it förever (Thank you Lem!) A quite Rock´n Roll-based piece of kick-ass with decent Stoner and Grunge sound, always pushing forward. It´s not that difficult to write these kind of songs which are to less played on stage. This is a band and a style you join on a festival and you leave with a smile. A fantastic appetizer for the upcoming album.

1000mods have slowly grown up and can now draw on a larger music library than on their previous albums. The guitars are no longer tuned so low, Dani's voice has probably found a new inspiration from Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins). In general, this album is the Greek version of Smashing Pumpkins' work "Mellon Cllie and the Infinite Sadness", as the band presents a much larger range of musical styles that don't really fit together. That's what makes this album so exciting. The almost 8-minute...

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...
