Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
Right off the bat, The Humble Collapse grabs your attention. It’s not a flashy album, nor does it try to be. Instead, it settles into a groove that feels lived-in, like a well-worn leather jacket. This is modern stoner rock at its most deliberate – heavy, textured, and unapologetically introspective. The album’s heart lies in […]
Forever Spoken by WITCHPIT is a beast of an album. It’s heavy, raw, and unapologetically southern in its metal swagger. If you’re into sludgy riffs that feel like they’re dragging you through a swamp and rhythms that hit like a freight train, you’re in for a treat. At its core, this album feels like an […]
Stoner rock is all about immersing yourself in sound – letting riffs wash over you, like waves of distortion-driven hypnosis. Big Muff Brigade’s debut album, Ď€, doesn’t just play by the genre’s rules; it leans into them with unrelenting energy and just enough flair to make it their own. This is the sound of a […]
I gave Hallowmas a few spins, and I’m still wrestling with it. I can tell you that it’s a heavy album, that’s for sure. The guitars are thick—like thick—and I kind of dig that. It’s not your standard doom drone either. There’s an energy in there, something that moves more than I expected from something […]
1000mods have been around for a long time now, and with Cheat Death, they’ve definitely cranked things up. The band’s classic heavy rock sound is still there, but this album feels a little different – more intense, more raw. It’s like they’ve taken that familiar heaviness and added a bit more grit and punch to […]
Listening to Borehead’s Vita est Morte est Vita feels like stepping into a vast, shadowy world. This South London trio doesn’t use words to guide you through their music – everything they have to say is in the sound. And it’s a lot. Across four tracks, they build layers of heavy, fuzzed-out riffs, pulsing basslines, […]
So, here’s the deal with The Last Odyssey – it’s big, it’s loud, and it’s unapologetically fuzzy. Deaf Lizard isn’t messing around. This album grabs you by the collar and drags you into its swirling, psychedelic haze. You’re not just listening to it; you’re kinda living in it for the whole runtime. The guitars are […]
Some albums demand your attention right out of the gate, and Sangue e Veleno by Deep Valley Blues is one of them. This isn’t music that eases you in; it pulls you by the collar, throws you into its heavy, mud-slicked riffs, and doesn’t let go until the last chord fades. It’s raw, heavy blues […]
BLUE HERON’s Everything Fades is stoner rock in full, raw form — a thunderous dive into the heart of the desert. With each track, the band channels the vastness and grit of the Southwest, where saturated, fuzz-heavy guitars and pulsing rhythms reverberate like thunder across an open plain. Steeped in the DNA of classic desert […]
With Saturnalia, Wizzerd drops an album that feels both grounded in classic Stoner/Doom Metal and unexpectedly expansive. This one’s heavy, hazy, and unhurried – basically everything you’d want from doom, but with a spacey, cosmic vibe that adds a whole new dimension. It’s the kind of record that makes you want to just sit back, […]
