We as fans should say thank you Matte for founding SOL, for supplying us with interesting music, concerts and festivals, for upgrading our musical family, for creating a new community of fans and bands and for carrying the torch of the idea of an international brotherhood of fans, magazines - like Heavystoned among others - and bands. The Heavystoned-Team is grateful for your work, your visions and kindness. Actually it´s a must to visit this festival as a symbolic act.

This line-up is like the spectral colors of the white light named Rock´n Roll; a wide range of the actual underground music scene, located in the best location and venue you can imagine. It will be a united Turbojugend festival, it will be a festival to discover new bands, meet old bands and friends. My personal favorites are - up to now -: Daufødt, Khan, The Devil and the almighty blues (for the first time), of course The Hellacopters and Elder, Castle Rat looks promising and I guess the...

"Aaaaah no, it´s only Stoner Rock, but ai like it" Stoner Rock with a humble attitude and not the big posing thang like Monster Magnet and others. Three grey-bearded guys who know how to rock heavily with a quite relaxed and laid-back attitude. The bass crunches properly, the guitar fuzzes and the song conveys a 100% feeling of cruising in a muscle car. It's fun, of course it's not particularly new, but it rocks and the band would do quite well as a warm-up act at a festival. The whole album...

At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, it was clear to even the smallest person that France and French society are deeply permeated with culture. Not with fashion, as in Italy, but with culture. This requires courage to make art, to cross boundaries and to combine the impossible. Just like Gojira. Not quite as extreme, but with an unmistakable aesthetic, Mauvais Sang from Paris come along. Somewhere between alternative and art rock, a text that cannot be topped in terms of...

Nothing unusual really: Tony Iommi plays one amazing riff, hook and solo after another in and outside a castle with a band. If Ronnie James Dio sang along, it could easily pass as "Heaven and Hell" 2.0. Up until that point, everything is normal. It's the normal Toni Iommi riff god song. For the post, I needed a picture and googled "Tony Iommi Xerjoff" and ended up with a perfume range from the company "Xerjoff", which was founded by Sergio Momo in 2007. Sergio Momo also plays guitar in the...

Ich habe so ein paar Auslöser, einer davon ist der Umgang mit Sprache und auch der Devokalisierung von Slogans, die einseitig von einer Richtung in die andere gerichtet sind. Bei Tiefenrausch kann ich es zum Teil nachvollziehen, da es einige Bands mit diesem Namen gibt und TFNRSH visuell recht einprägsam ausschaut. Nun habe ich einen sehr interessanten Song der Tübinger Band Tiefenrausch vor mir, der spannende 11 Minuten lang wie zwei Minuten vergehen lässt. Sowohl vom Aufbau als auch vom...

In my opinion, the Swiss band Six Months of Sun is, alongside the French band "The Necromancers", one of the most talented bands in terms of songwriting, technical skills and artwork. But somehow both bands seem to be happy with their status as semi-professional weekend bands. I don't understand why a band like Six Months of Sun puts more ideas into a 3 minute song than they do playing concerts. The previously released single "Ningen" also shows their ability on the instruments as well as in...

Deafslow did a good job to warm up the audience; distorted bass sound with a lot of fuzzy guitars playing in the style of Fu Manchu, Kyuss, spiced with two excellent voices. In fact, there was nothing new, but the music went straight, without surprising the audience and was good to bang your head. The sound-man did a great job for them and the band sounded really good on stage and for the audience. With a bit more experience, this band is a good choice for the upcoming summer festivals. A...

The opening track “Alphaholics” kicks off with that chaotic sound of a radio channel-surfing through stations, like it can’t quite make up its mind. Then, out of nowhere, a muffled groove breaks through, and suddenly – BANG! Coma Hole jumps in with a bassline thick as a brick, Anderson's drums pounding tightly behind. Fir’s vocals hit with a blend of angst and melody that’s as raw as it is catchy. It’s a bold opener, and frankly, it could stand alongside the best...
