Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
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, […]
Hell Valley High has delivered a solid punch with their debut full-length, Welcome to Hell Valley. The album is a powerhouse of groove-heavy, riff-driven tracks that pull from the rich tradition of desert rock and stoner metal. With clear influences from giants like Kyuss, Fu Manchu, and Monster Magnet, Hell Valley High still manages to […]
With Ashes and Bone, The Electric Mud returns in a big way, blending their signature Southern rock grit with stoner heaviness and a touch of prog complexity. Right from the start, the vibe is darker and more intense than their previous work, but they never lose that raw, energetic spirit. Musically, they’ve dialed up the […]
PSYCHLONA’s Warped Vision is one of those albums that just pulls you in from the start. It’s a heavy, fuzzy, riff-driven trip, but it’s also got this laid-back, almost hypnotic vibe that’s perfect for anyone who loves getting lost in sound. These guys have nailed the balance between the weight of stoner metal and the […]
