Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
It’s been four years since Two of Swords, and Bentrees finally drop Silver Veins. Six tracks, no filler, no showing off – just that thick, hypnotic low-end fuzz they’ve been hammering since the early days. Recorded at Sonusville Studio in Siliqua, it sounds like it – earthy, not overproduced, just real instruments in a room, […]
Stone Machine Electric don’t play songs so much as drop you inside them. Faces is six slabs of slow-burn hypnosis, the kind of record that doesn’t hurry to prove a damn thing. These Texans have been circling the underground for years, and you can hear the road miles baked into every stretch of feedback and […]
The first note hits, and the room smells of damp wood and a faint electric hum. Faces creeps in slowly, sticky in the air, settling into corners before you even notice. Zombie Eater have spent years in Helsinki basements and German backrooms, and you can hear the floors sagging under the weight, the lights flickering, […]
Rainbow Bridge, formed in 2006, draws inspiration from the Jimi Hendrix Experience and classic sixties power-trios, blending heavy blues with psychedelic jams. They’ve played numerous rock & blues festivals—including Blues in Town, Wood In Stock, and Freakout Stoned Fest—and opened for bands like Oh Sees and Putan Club. Since Fabio joined on bass in 2015, […]
Formed in 2009 by Mark Kitchens and William “Dub” Irvin, and joined by bassist Erick Paxecko in 2023, the band has spent over a decade crafting sonic landscapes rooted in stoner rock, doom, space and experimental vibes, building a loyal cult following in the US underground. Their previous releases, including the sprawling The Inexplicable Vibrations […]
Deep Valley Blues, formed in 2016 in Catanzaro by Umberto Arena, Giando Sestito, Giorgio Faini and Alessandro Morrone, debuted with their self-titled EP in 2017, blending hard rock blues, psych rock and stoner vibes. Their first full-length Demonic Sunset (2019) explored psychosis through mass culture references, followed by III – Third (2021) on Swamp Records/Sloomweep […]
Formed in 2004 by Michael Lenz and Sergiy Ermolaev, and later joined by key members including drummer Nikoloz Rukhadze and vocalist/bassist Alexandre Gurchumelia, Im Nebel evolved through numerous line-up changes while refining their atmospheric sound inspired by Herman Hesse’s “Im Nebel.” After early live success and their debut album, the band faced setbacks with their […]
By now, Rainbow Bridge isn’t trying to prove anything. If you’ve been following their trail since the mid-2000s, you know exactly where their blood runs: through Hendrix, through the howl of blown-out ’60s stacks, through the heavy, trance-wrung repetition of modern stoner psych. What Soundtrack of a Silent Land offers isn’t a reinvention, and thank […]
Some records announce themselves. Others emerge – already cracked at the edges, warm with the weight of time, familiar in the way a long-unseen friend can be. Lorquin’s Admiral, the debut from the band of the same name, is one of those records. Not a debut in spirit, but in name only. This is a […]
You ever wake up with your teeth humming from feedback? That’s where this album lives. III doesn’t give you songs, it gives you weight. Not the sort of weight that bands in leather jackets try to conjure in overpriced studios. I’m talking about the tectonic, low-slung, slow-crawling kind—born from the pit, not the playlist. THAMMUZ […]
