Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
The album doesn’t come at you. It waits. Doesn’t feel like it wants your attention, more like it’s giving you a look to see if you’ll stick around. Not distant, not cold – just uninterested in putting on a show. There’s a confidence in that. Or maybe indifference. Could be the same thing. This is […]
Amammoth’s path has never been about playing it safe, and with Distant Skies and The Ocean Flies, they’re not holding back. From the first demo, Inhale, to their debut The Fire Above, this band’s been working on something heavy, slow, and dirty. And they’ve nailed it again with their second full-length. This is a band […]
Weed Demon’s latest slab of heaviness, The Doom Scroll, is a beast that drags you through stoner doom’s swampy trenches while tossing in some unexpected death and thrash metal punches. Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, these guys have been grinding out sludgy, riff-driven tunes for years, and their new album feels like they’ve decided to kick […]

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 […]
The Argentine trio Las Historias has always been a band unafraid to explore the darker, more enigmatic corners of heavy psych rock. With House of Pain, their latest demo release, they offer a compelling glimpse into their evolving sound – a mix of raw intensity and hypnotic atmospheres that sets the stage for their anticipated […]
WyndRider’s second album, “Revival,” is a real gem! This East Tennessee quartet has definitely found their groove, and it’s evident throughout this record. If you’re a fan of Black Sabbath, Sleep, or Acid King, you’re in for a treat. WyndRider has taken their sound to the next level, blending the slow, heavy riffs we love […]
Slowtorch’s debut album “Serpente,” originally self-released in 2014 and now celebrating its tenth anniversary with a vinyl edition, is a testament to the enduring power of ’70s rock, metal, and blues. In an era where music often feels overproduced and trend-driven, Slowtorch offers a refreshing throwback to the raw, unpolished sounds of rock’s golden age. […]
Grave Speaker rises with a self-titled debut that transcends the conventional boundaries of doom. A brainchild of guitarist and songwriter John Steele, this musical odyssey, conceived in the summer of 2023, follows the trail of 70s heavy rock inspirations, steering its course with the mantra, “follow the vibes, not the rules.” This marks the inception […]
