Egonomic is the AI-created Melodic Death Metal-project by Heavystoned, aka Nocebo. The lyrics were written in 2001 during personal issues and a trip to Egypt and were never played by my former bands. Now, SUNO reflected the mood of the lyrics and created a lot of songs out of them. One out of ten songs is quite close to perfection concerning structure, breaks and voice. Of course, SUNO is waiting for AI-music to install a streaming platform with songs created by user who don´t own the rights...

What do you expect, when a band is clever enough to blend Kyuss and Fu Manchu with the hypnotic riffin´ from Hawkwind? Yes, Psychlona and "Let´s go" could be a benchmark for their upcoming releases. Hailing from Bradford in the middle of Yorkshire, where you usually won´t expect some desert vibes, Psychlona found out the perfect balance between not being Heavy Metal and not being Blues and not being Rock. This is art and just in case why I put the tag "Driving Rock", there is the song put...

I would actually listen to a lot more post-rock if the voice suited the music, the sound wasn't too mushy and the songs had a certain structure and thus recognition value. And then by chance an email comes from Bandcamp, suggesting 5 bands to me and one of them is Remina from New Zealand. This band really manages to create a cathedral of a transparent, clear sound that seems to float above everything despite all the heaviness. Responsible for this lightness is the fantastic voice of Heike...

If tags don't seem to fit together at first glance, it could be that someone is trying to describe the British band Elephant Tree in a few terms. At first I thought that the band Travis had recorded a fuzzed metal album or that Fran Healey from Travis had moved to North Carolina to jam with a few local sludge bands. No, not any of those things, it's our favorite weirdos Elephant Tree. The previously released song "Try" sounds like you're being run over by a bulldozer driven by the...

The fewer tags an album needs, the straighter the music is. This is what happened with the New Zealand band Sidewinder. They go through the entire history of stoner in just under 3 minutes with fat riffs, a fat fuzz guitar and a cutting, aggressive female voice. A fantastic appetizer for the album that will be released in August 2024.

Vape Dealer's first single comes with an irresistible boogie swagger, with wide tires, a slightly oily smell from the exhaust fed by a big block, rounded off with a voice from the androgynous mid-70s. The whole concoction races down the highway at 100 miles, kicks up a lot of dust and the fade out gives us the illusion that this trip will never end. Seldom have I heard such a great banger as a drive song. The entire album will be released on July 12th.

We could never get used to this band; we found the name just as repulsive as the Spanish Inquisition costume. These two aspects are diametrically opposed to the music of the band from Salamanca; since 2012, the band has been serving up the finest post-rock with numerous changes in dynamics and tempo, as well as influences from noise, doom or ambient, which demands a lot of attention from the listener. This is also the case with their new single "El silencio de un Gesto". It's not really new,...

There was a San Francisco based band in 1982 who first get the NWoBHM to US by playing their riffs and songs faster. The press called it Thrash Metal and the band called Metallica. Nowadys, a LA based band browsed in some NWoBHM bands like Blitzkrieg - for their song "Brainded Warrior", or overtake Hawkwind´s "Master of the Universe" opening riff for the opener "Scavenger" or Amon Amarth´s "Pursuit of Vikings" for the song "Voices of the Paranoid". The Zig Zags put a lot of dirt and fuzz into...

With their third album “Vessel”, Vitskär Süden once again presents completely relaxed, progressive, floating rock tones. In the form of a slowly creeping up and consistently calm listening experience, albeit based on a concept, it draws us into its dark, fantastic aura. Viskär Süden can increase their indulgent ability with each song. And with every song, this mindfulness-practicing, meditative basic structure draws you in. Psychedelic sounds that are intended to touch rather than make...

This album sounds and grooves like Karma to Burn would have had a second guitarist, with the lead guitar practically singing and screaming. This album doesn't need lyrics to understand what the lead guitar is saying. The rhythm section grooves in the mid-tempo to half-time range and ensures that the listener can't stop headbanging. Mesmerizing hooks and fillings and unpredictable songs. This album is a silver lining to the loss of Karma to Burn. Fantastic record.
