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,...

France knows how to do wine, cheese – and apparently, full-throttle stoner punk, too. With Bronca 2, the band from La Fare Les Oliviers delivers a tight, ten-track album that sounds like a wild road trip through fuzz, fire, and pure DIY spirit. If you’ve seen them live – like at the Rising Dead Boys Festival in September 2024 – you know: these guys don’t play shows, they throw musical punches with a smile. The opener "Broken Nose" sets the tone right: no frills, just riffs that hit...

From the heart of Indonesia's underground scene, WHITEHOVSE emerges with their debut album, The Mighty One, delivering a potent mix of doom and stoner rock that's as heavy as a monsoon and as raw as a jungle trail. This isn't polished studio rock; it's the sound of five musicians pouring their souls into every riff and lyric. The album kicks off with "Endless Sorrow", setting the tone with thick, fuzzy guitar lines and a rhythm section that feels like a slow-moving freight train—unstoppable...

Seven years after their last release, Helltown, Electric Citizen returns with EC4, a powerful statement of renewal and raw energy. The album showcases a fusion of hypnotic grooves, searing guitars, and Laura Dolan's mesmerizing vocals. The album opens with "Mire," setting a heavy tone that persists throughout. "Static Vision," the first single, delivers uptempo rhythms and killer guitar work, reminiscent of early Uncle Acid. The track transitions into a slower, ethereal groove with layered...

Straight out of Nova Scotia, The Orchids Duo brings their first album, and it's loud, rough, and full of fuzz. With only two people – Rhys Poirier on guitar and vocals, and Alexis Grant on drums – they make enough noise for five. This self-titled debut is not clean or polished. But that's the point. The opening track, "Set It Off", punches right in. Dirty guitar, heavy drums, and a voice that sounds like it smokes unfiltered emotion. It sets the tone: this album is about energy, anger, and...

With The Spin, Messa takes another big step forward. Their fourth album is a dark, elegant ride through doom, gothic and even jazz-influenced territories – and it’s easily their most refined work to date. The first track, "Void Meridian," opens the gate into their world: slow, moody, and full of atmosphere. The sound is thick, but never overdone. Guitars ring like church bells in a storm. The rhythm section keeps it grounded. But it’s Sara Bianchin’s voice that really carries the weight...

Some albums are not just music – they are a journey. Conifer Beard's Stranstviy Skaz (which means Tale of Wanderings) is exactly that. From deep forests and quiet rivers to heavy thoughts and burning skies, this record takes you far away from the noise of modern life. The opening track, "Beginning" (Зачин), sets the mood: slow, cold, and full of space. You don’t get catchy hooks – you get atmosphere. The band mixes slow doom riffs with Russian folk melodies, and it works. It's dark,...

Quintana is the solo project of Dusty Donley – guitarist of Mississippi Bones – and Eternity is his second full-length release under this name. It’s one of those albums that doesn’t scream for attention but earns it, track by track. From the start, Eternity brings thick riffs, heavy grooves, and a grunge feeling that stays throughout the whole record. The first track, “Timeless”, opens with a strong guitar and drums combo – direct, punchy, and without any extra fluff. You know...
