The next surprise from Italy: not only are the two biggest and best labels, Go Down Records and Heavy Psych Sounds Records, based in Italy, but interesting new records are released on Bandcamp almost daily. Ride Over Mars hailing from Rome and manages to release this killer record without any filler. I love songs with short, crisp timing; the songs start after 15 seconds, then get straight to the point and rock so hard you can let your hair blow. In short: machine guns in action.

You can listen to both albums in one sitting without skipping a single song. I don't know how most Swedish bands manage to find just the right balance between brutal rock, a dirty, distorted fuzz sound, the right timing, and catchy melodies. It's a joy to welcome this band back to the international stage and hopefully see them again. The package with Greeleaf and 10,000 Years would be absolutely amazing.

Traveling and visiting museums, excavations and geosites our second passion. I studied Geology, Geography and all the sciences around them, that´s why I start this section on www.heavystoned.eu. Nuff said.

This band was suggested to me by my search settings on Bandcamp, and after just 20 seconds, it was clear to me that this band, and especially the song "Shipwrecker," was the daily peak. Everything is just right: the tempo, the groove, the riffing, the voice that conjures up an incredible vocal line. It's bad enough that we have to wait until September 5th for this gem to ship. Until then, I guess I'll have to listen to one of my new favorite songs every day. The heaviness combined with...

We are really looking forward for this festival on which you can never be disappointed; Either the music is interesting, or there's an interesting band playing, or you enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounding the festival grounds. Either way, you'll be thrilled if you're there. After listening to all the bands, I found the local bands, or rather the bands from neighboring countries, more interesting than the big, well-known names on the bill. Sure, we'll check out the headliners, but we're here...

Es ist immer wieder unglaublich, wie das Orga-Team seit nun 24 Jahren mit der annähernd gleichen Besetzung dieses Festival mit einem gleichbleibenden hohen Level an Bands, Sound und Licht schafft. Wir sind erst seit 2015 dabei, obwohl mir Will Mecum von Karma to Burn schon 2011 in Heidelberg sagte, dass das Stoned das beste Festival sei. Unser damaliges Wohmobil ist nach 17 sec auf diesem Video zu sehen.

The trip to Desertfest in Berlin is similar to our trips to Hellfest in Clisson. Almost like a pilgrimage, the journey is the destination; at each stop, we discover new sights and natural beauties, as well as extremely nice and friendly people in East Germany. And as Forrest Gump once said, that life is like a box of chocolates because you don't know what's inside, that's always the case at Desertfest. Well-known bands can quickly become a disappointment because they don't meet certain...

From the depths of the Los Angeles underground, Black Honey Cult emerges with their self-titled debut, a sonic journey that feels like stepping into a smoky, dimly lit club where time stands still. This isn't just music; it's a ritual, a hypnotic blend of psychedelic rock, post-punk, and krautrock that envelops you from the first note. The album kicks off with "Operation", a track that sets the tone with its driving rhythm and haunting melodies. It's followed by "Golden Dragon", a song that...

Some bands grow on you. Molosser Crude? They grew with me. I've been following Jan and Tess for three years now, and every release feels like a deeper dive into a sound that's equal parts raw, strange, and strangely comforting. Slave to the Voices is no exception. This track crawls out of the speakers like something ancient, wounded, and wise. No flashy solos, no gimmicks – just guitar, drums, voice, and a heavy sense of unease that sticks to your skin. The groove lurches forward like a...

After shaking things up with their last album After The Storm, the Munich-based trio Blind Mess is back – and still pissed, loud, and full of fuzz. Their new album The Storm Within is the second part of their “Storm Duology”, and judging by the four tracks out now, it's going to hit just as hard. The opener "The Bell" already shows where the journey is going: heavy riffs, dirty grooves, and vocals that sound like they're shouted straight from the gut. It’s a song about inner conflict,...
