The album kicks off with "In," a brief yet striking solo saxophone piece that sets the tone perfectly. It's swiftly followed by "Hallucination," where Red Scalp dives into a groove that quotes a bit of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" while also channeling the energy of a club track. Riff lovers, don’t despair—this track rocks, and it rocks even harder when the guitars drop in heavier, backing vocals that ooze with sneezing attitude. There’s an impressive amount happening in this song, and...

A thank you to bandcamp, which offers the platform for countless interesting bands from all over the world to publish their songs or albums. Apparently Ohio is a source of interesting bands like Megaton Communion, who also provide a travel tip to the seven sacred pools in Arizona. For the trip to there, the band delivers a song that apparently never ends, or rather, that is so perfect for cruising that you can listen to it the whole trip and probably will. Very groovy, very heavy and at the...

And again: alternative culture in Germany takes place thanks to clubs and cultural associations. Thanks to the non-profit status and some financial compensation, numerous festivals in Germany come about in the first place. This is also the case in Karlsruhe, where PsyKa not only organizes festivals and concerts, but also acts as a label for numerous underground bands. This year's PsyKa Festival offers an interesting cross-section of the underground of the underground, mixed with established...

Actually, songs that are longer than 7 minutes are contrary to me. And if someone sings with an uncomfortable voice, it puts it on the barrel. Robot God seem to be the first exception. I heard their 8-13 minutes lasting songs until the end, then I jumped between interesting riffs within the songs - there are a lot - and heard the whole song again; Yes, it sounds like I could use a musical buffet and could get something new again and again. The whole album sounds fantastic and is an acoustic...

With their third album, "One Way Trip," Boston's psychedelic rockers WORSHIPPER have perfected their blend of classic hard rock and old-school heavy metal, enhanced by a strong dose of psychedelia. The album title and some tracks might suggest a connection to drug culture, but WORSHIPPER takes a more kaleidoscopic view of the human condition through a psychedelic lens. During the album's creation, three band members experienced personal losses, influencing tracks like the opener "Heroic Dose,"...

The American heavy and dark rock band SPIRIT MOTHER has released their new single "Veins," from their upcoming second album "Trails," set for release on September 13 via HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS Records. Bassist and vocalist Armand Lance describes "Veins" as a minimalist nightmare, balanced with atonality, melodic violin lines, and vocals. The song features essential elements only, with no unnecessary additions. "Trails" captures the energy of Spirit Mother's visceral live performances while...

With their third album “Vessel”, Vitskär Süden once again presents completely relaxed, progressive, floating rock tones. In the form of a slowly creeping up and consistently calm listening experience, albeit based on a concept, it draws us into its dark, fantastic aura. Viskär Süden can increase their indulgent ability with each song. And with every song, this mindfulness-practicing, meditative basic structure draws you in. Psychedelic sounds that are intended to touch rather than make...

This record was created by AI (www.suno.com) and the artwork was created by www.openai.com. First I asked ChatGPT about its meaning about AI-created music. That´s the answer by ChatGPT: Sure, here are the translations of my previous answers: 1. Innovative: Music generated by artificial intelligence (AI) can often produce unconventional sounds and melodies that may not be achievable through traditional human composition techniques. (That doesn't apply to this album. It sounds quite traditional;...
