Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
KIND formed in 2013 and released their debut album “Rocket Science” on Ripple Music in the waning days of 2015. That album garnered favorable reviews across the board, including from Metal Hammer who stated that it built up “an atmosphere that’ll sound awesome played live”. That was proven by a West Coast tour KIND undertook […]
Let’s be clear from the jump: Metanoia doesn’t ask for your attention – it drags you under by the collar of your patched-up denim vest and doesn’t let go until it’s rattled your teeth and rearranged something in your chest cavity. This is a record born from smoke and reverb, but sharpened by lived experience […]
There’s something deeply satisfying when a record rolls in and just refuses to sit neatly on your shelf. SHEEV’s Ate’s Alchemist is that kind of beast – the kind that claws at you in your sleep and smells faintly of burnt incense, crushed amps, and regret. You try to file it under stoner, prog, or […]
It took me a couple plays to even understand if this was a “band” in the usual sense. Because this thing doesn’t behave like a record put together in a jam space and tracked over a weekend. It’s not locked in like that. It moves more like a memory. Or like it was uncovered, not […]
Let’s get one thing straight: Satanic Panic Attack isn’t trying to impress you. It doesn’t care about your playlists or your genre tags. This thing came howling out of the Norwegian wastelands like a grease-soaked demon on a chopper, middle finger raised, speakers blazing, and no goddamn brakes. HĂ…NDGEMENG aren’t here to reinvent the wheel […]
On a quiet night when the city is winding down, Silver and Gold comes off like a last-minute set recorded in the low light of a dive – raw and uncut. The album feels like a record of long, rough sessions, with every chord bearing the marks of countless rough nights. In a sea of […]
We, Main Witch and Spellbinder, are thrilled to share with you our Top 25 Albums of 2024 (from our humble perspective). Of course, there are many other albums that deserve a spot on this list, but we decided to keep it concise. It’s important to note that the order of the list doesn’t imply ranking […]
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 […]
If you’re into stoner blues rock, you’re going to want to check out LUNA SOL’s latest album, Vita Mors. This trio, led by the incredibly talented David Angstrom—who you might know from Hermano and Supafuzz—has really outdone themselves this time. For me, this album feels like taking a late-night drive through the mountains, with the […]
Post-apocalyptic prog rock? Vitskär SĂĽden’s latest album, “Vessel,” is an impressive leap forward for the Los Angeles-based quartet, showcasing their ability to blend a myriad of genres into a cohesive and immersive sonic experience. Known for their fusion of neo-psych, space, doom, and progressive rock, the band has crafted an album that is both expansive […]
