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...

Press releases are always interesting; if they are very long, then the music is usually not interesting and if the author of the text searches in vain for the right words, then the music is interesting. This is what happened with the Danish band "Dying Hydra" and their latest single "Grasping Stone". Sludge means in this case the slowness of the song and the growls. So much for melodic sludge which was mentioned in the press text; there are so many different styles in this song, be it doom, a...

What seemed like a coincidence turned out to be one of the best festivals of the year over the course of the day. Starting with the location on a hiking trail through the rocks and maquis at Le fare Les Oliviers, the quality of the bands, the quality of the sound and the light in the venue and the acquaintances we made during the festival.

Berlin’s neànder returns with their latest single Ultra, and if you’re not yet familiar with their potent cocktail of post-rock, shoegaze, drone, and sludge, this track is your invitation aural initiation. The band—three guitarists and a drummer, no bass in sight—crafts a rich, immersive sound that’s as heavy as it is atmospheric. Ultra opens with a brooding, slow-burn build, each guitar weaving layers of echoing melodies that creep up on you, until the inevitable sludge-infused wall...

Thanks to Bandcamp. Today a release by the Russian band "The Kollectors" came through on the Kazakh label "Red Truth Tapes". And the label releases everything that has more than 180 bpm and Marshalls or Orange Stacks turned up to 11. And so do "The Kollectors". Their album "Joyride" dates back to 2017, but is a roaring, stomping piece of hard music that blows the last needles off the Siberian larch trees. There are no fillers on the album, you start listening and then your head falls off your...

The Swedish band 10,000 Years released their 1st single "High Noon in Sword City" from their new album "All Quite on the Final Frontier". We see Tool in the name and Iron Maiden on behalf of the album. In the sound we discover the less brutal version of Morne's vocals, little fuzz, a lot of power, a dose of metal and the right speed to blow the entire venue on the back of the wall. Wow. I'm really looking forward to the album. I hope it only has such 3-4 minutes banger. Really great!
