Norwegian proggers GAZPACHO have released new live album and Blu-ray "Fireworker At St. Croix" in March, 2022. They also have shared a new live video for their song "Winter Is Never", which you can watch below.
The tune "Winter Is Never" originally featured in the band's 2009 album "Tick Tock". The new live version is taken from the band's new "Fireworker At St. Croix", a recording of the band's live stream for their 2020 album "Fireworker", which was released through Kscope on March 11. A moody trip into the world of "The Fireworker", captured on the 25th October 2020. No fixes, no polishes, no light show, no nothing. Just the pure rendition of the music along with a surprise or two.
The original core of the band consisted of Jan-Henrik Ohme (vocals), Jon-Arne Vilbo (guitars), and Thomas Andersen (keyboards, programming, production). They started making music together in 1996 and the band has since expanded with Mikael Krømer (violin, co-producer), Robert R Johansen (drums), and Kristian Torp (bass).
Enjoy todays tune "Winter Is Never", the third single from thier upcoming collection of films and live music will be the old favourite of many. "Winter Is Never" is a song about growing up and the magic of childhood. Something we can not forget. Especially now.
It's the Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday and a public holiday in some countries. It is the second day of Eastertide. In Western Christianity, it is also the second day of the Octave of Easter, and in Eastern Christianity, it is also the second day of Bright Week.
But still it's Monday so it time to introduce "Record Of The Week". "The Eldorado Spell" is the second album release by the Norwegian four-piece KRYPTOGRAF.
This four old souls is inspired by the heavy sound of the late 60's, and they will hex you with their collective vocals, destructive riffs and inventive songwriting. "The Eldorado Spell" is a beauty by it self, where the sound is very 60's inspired with a foot in the psychedelic folk rock and riff heavy doom, nothing orginal at all, but the love for the past and creative minds is what makes them so good. Somehow I just adore when the Scandinavians makes music like this, the joy in thier craftmanship shines true the production and that is something which can be heard immediately from the opening "Asphodel", a marvelous rocker with heavy riffing and amazing vocals, especially the chorus. "Cosmic Suicide" the next tune in line keep the up the quality and deliver a great pace with some cool echos and a great solo. The pace slows down a notch in the more doomier piece "Lucifer’s Hand" while in the groovy "Creeping Willow" the pace is restore a bit and serves us with some cleaver riffing and melody along with a nice jam in the middle. A short folkish interlude of "Across The Creek" paves the way for the title tune "The Eldorado Spell", with a light marching tempo it moves forward determined and cohesive until it fades away and opens the door for the more doomiah and slowly "The Spiral", and after it reaches it's half mark it switches and pushes down the gas for a wile until it falls back in the end. "When The Witches" is an odd one, acid drenched piece that takes out the swing. "Wormwood" is another folkish interlude that makes the way for the final tune "The Wall" that rounds off this work in a really nice way.
Sum: "The Eldorado Spell" is the psychedelic doom buzz you need right now, check this up!
On "Things You Leave Behind" Rebekka Bakken opts for all three of these possibilities: she loves life so much she experiences it in constant change and lets go of whatever wants to leave. The passage of time and things - elemental for her songs.
"Things You Leave Behind" presents Rebekka Bakken as an extraordinarily mature singer and songwriter. The album title marks both a new beginning and a retrospective and stands for music that experiences its future in the here and now. It is her personal liberation and a general slap in the face of critics and other unconscientious objectors.
Today's tune "True North" is a deeply sad ballad but wonderfully performed during the Beethoven Project "Vienna 2020 - Capital of Music" for the Vienna Tourist Board under the musical direction of Aleksey Igudesman and with his and Rebekka Bakken's participation. Performance footage was shot on stage at the Museumsquartier in Vienna. Enjoy!
Monday, time to introduce the first "Record Of The Week" for 2022.
We start the year abit softish and present "Ravensdale", the third album from the Norwegian singer-songwriter Monica Heldal.
Monica Heldal is back with her first album following five years of silence. The 30 year old musician released her Norwegian Grammy winning debut album in 2013, while its follow-up made the Top 3 of the album chart in her home territory. She subsequently toured with Ben Howard in Europe and John Butler Trio in the USA, while her music has been streamed 40 million times on Spotify.
Monica Heldal (born 24 January 1991 in Bergen, Norway) is a Norwegian musician (vocals, guitar) and songwriter. Her debut studio album, Boy From the North, was released on 4 November 2013. For the album she received two awards during Spellemannprisen in 2013: Rookie of the Year and Best Pop Solo Artist. She also won the Bendiksenprisen in 2013 and was nominated for the Statoil Scholarship that same year.
When Monica Heldal released her second album "The One In The Sun" and was ready for the tour, she was knocked out by tinnitus and sound sensitivity. "I was extremely hypersensitive to sound in the time right after. It went very hard on my psyche. I isolated myself for fear of being exposed to noise. The sound of a car driving past could be pure suffering, she told VG in July 2016".
Now five years later the hearing is better and a new album is out.
"Ravensdale" is a soft guitar driven album full of sparkling, shimmering, alternately low-key and expansive, ever-captivating musical carousel that moves best at a speed of 33 1/3 revs per minute. Her voice is like balm for the soul, a wonderful start to this hopeful year. Sit comfortably, lean back, close your hands, let your eyelids fall down and enjoy the nice sweet melodies. You feel the appropriations on the strings before the tone is taken, you hear the hands in the air before they land on the drum skins, you hear when Monica opens her lips before the first words slip out like a silk shawl in the wind. Wonderful, just wonderful. Together, Monica, multi-instumentalist Cato “Salsa” Thomassen and drummer Kenneth Kapstad (MOTORPSYCHO/GÅTE) conjure up intermittently ornate soundscapes, rich with tones and percussive details, where guitars and tunings of all kinds float round like planets in melodic, musical orbit.
Today's tune "Wallowa Lake", taken from the album "Ravensdale", enjoy!
Saturday, been spinning TURBONEGRO and Hank Von Hell albums, remembering the Rock Icon Hans-Erik Dyvik Husby who sadly passed away yesterday. An important fellow in the rock n' roll business in Scandinavia, especially here in Sweden where he made a big impact with his obscure rock band TURBONEGRO and when he played the title role in Cornelis, a Swedish film from 2010 about the singer-songwriter Cornelis Vreeswijk. Hank had a bright future ahead within both music and films. Hank died on 19 November 2021, at the age of 49. No cause of death has been made public.
So today's tune is for you Hank, I hope you get some time for "Disco" up there in the sky. You will be missed, R.I.P.
"Prototype Design" is the second single from the upcoming album "Spidergawd VI" with the Norweigan supergroup SPIDERGAWD.

SPIDERGAWD are a relatively new supergroup from Trondheim, Norway featuring MOTORPSYCHO members Kenneth Kapstad and Bent Sæther, with Per Borten from CADILLAC and NEW VIOLATORS as frontsinger. On sax the band has brought in Rolf Martin Snustad (HOPALONG KNUT). They are in fact some rock veterans who came together because Per felt the need to play loud, hard rock. Using drums, bass, guitar and baritone sax they make hot sounds affectionately known as desert rock, in the manic style of legends like MC5 and GRAND FUNK RAILROAD.
Today's tune "Prototype Design", the second single from the upcoming album "Spidergawd VI", out 10.dec 2021. Video filmed at Sørgården Studio by Marthe A.Vannebo. Enjoy!

"Make You Feel My Love" is a song written by Bob Dylan for his 1997 album "Time Out Of Mind". It was first released commercially by Billy Joel, under the title "To Make You Feel My Love", before Dylan's version appeared later that same year. It has since been covered by numerous performers and has proved to be a commercial success for singers such as Clare Dunn, Adele, Garth Brooks, Shane Filan, Bryan Ferry, Kelly Clarkson, Ane Brun and Nick Knowles. Dylan eventually released the song as a single.
Today's version is from Swedish-based Norwegian singer Ane Brun features radical re-interpretations of the tune. The song is taken from her seventh studio album "Leave Me Breathless" where she covering both mainstream and more eclectic fare. Tunes like the soaring ballad by "I Want To Know What Love Is" FOREIGNER, Nick Cave’s romantic "Into My Arms". Maria McKee’s "Show Me Heaven", Mariah Carey’s "Hero" among many others.
Ane Brun says "I read the book “Normal People” earlier this year and I loved it! And shortly after I was told they wanted to use my cover of Bob Dylan “Make You Feel My Love” in one of the episodes of a new tv-series based on that brilliant book! This kind of synergy makes me so happy! This live version is from Leave Me Breatless Live at Oslo Spektrum"
Monday, a new week and it's time for "Record Of The Week".
Today we look over our shoulder and see the new Norweigan four-piece rockband KRYPTOGRAF that has released their self-titled debut. A band that hails from Bergen Norway and plays rock music that has past it's "before" date long ago. They are heavily influenced by bands like BLACK SABBATH, PENTAGRAM, and even the more modern Scandinavian bands like WITCHCRAFT, HELLACOPTERS, and MOTORPSYCHO. A mix of this creates the sound and style of KRYPTOGRAF.
The self-titled album has a great playtime of thirty-eight minutes, divided into eight tunes. The album opens up with the first single "The Veil" a cool guitar play until the band joins the club and the tune kick on. The vocal is pretty clear and pleasant, partly reminds me of Nicke Andersson (HELLACOPTERS, IMPERIAL STATE ELECTRIC). The melody is catchy with a great riffing and a sing-along chorus, it's really getting your feet tapping along. "Omen" has a more old school doomish approach where both SABBATH and PENTAGRAM floating in the creation. "Seven" is a jammy piece that climbs over the nine minutes mark. "Crimson Horizon" is the second single that opens up with an intro of electronic vibrations until burst out into full bloom, to a catchy and very melodic rocker, a great swing that sticks like glue in the forehead. A bluesy solo adds some spice to the heavy riffage. "Sleeper" is a half paced thingie and "Ocean" is an acoustic strummer with an atmospheric feel and duel vocals. "New Colossus" opens up for heavy riffage in a half paced speed, feels a bit mossy but still it works. The album closes up with "Infinite", an instrumental shorty. The album is a pleasant piece of music where the old souls in KRYPTOGRAF will hex you with their collective vocals, destructive riffs, and inventive songwriting will give you a great musical summer.
Sum: A great Colossus for the summer, aim for the "Crimson Horizon" with KRYPTOGRAF.
KRYPTOGRAF Is:
Vegard Strand - Guitar / Vocals
Odd Erlend Mikkelsen - Guitar / Vocals
Eirik Arntsen - Drums / Vocals
Eivind Standal Moen - Bass

THE NEW DEATH CULT was initiated on the planet Earth by the Supreme Democratic Fellowship of Netuluna in the Andromeda galaxy, to help disrupt the zeitgeist of big-money interest in widespread environmental destruction, corrupt politics, plastic muzak, and fake idols, through the superior medium of Rock Music.
THE NEW DEATH CULT is here to crush hate, greed and environmental destruction through the superior medium of rock music. A force more powerful than anything in the universe: HEAVY ROCK MUSIC
Dubbed a brilliant cross-over between QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, BIFFY CLYRO, and PINK FLOYD, THE NEW DEATH CULT drives heavy rock in a forward direction primed for the 21st century, while sonically staying true to the greatest 90’s rock acts. Aesthetically, the band explores a unique melting point where solid ’desert rock’ collides with heavy riffs, ear-tingling melodies, and choruses of cosmic grandeur. The lyrics inspire a true universal love and peaceful activism towards anti-war, anti-environmental destruction and anti-corruption movement in music, to make the world a better and safer place for present and future generations. Visually, the band consists of four masked humanoid aliens who go by their pseudonyms ALPHA (vocals + guitar), BETA (lead guitar), GAMMA (bass) and DELTA (drums).
Their debut album is engineered and produced by Stamos Koliousis (KAMPFAR, KEEP OF KALESSIN, FIGHT THE FIGHT, DJERV) and was recorded in Røffsound Studios, Oslo, using only the finest vintage equipment the band could get their hands on. The record stands out as startingly organic, authentic and relevant in the vast ocean of contemporary heavy rock music.
Today's tune "Light Spills Over" is taken from their self titled debut album was released on 06.09.2019 through Indie Recordings, enjoy 👂!
Almost a year ago did the Riff Merchant Records teamed up with Fuzzy Cracklins Presents to bring you seven tracks of ecstasy-inducing aural madness. They brought together evil Norwegian Fuzz Merchants MAGMAKAMMER with Italian Doom-Monsters SANGUE. A very limited, first pressing black-in-red RMR edition of 150.
All audio remastered for the turntable by Signaturetone Recording. Including new custom artwork for both MAGMAKAMMER and SANGUE in the insert.
The split EP was released May 12, 2019. Get it here: www.riffmerchant.com/product/magmakammer-vs-sangue-split
The artwork for the EP which takes a stab at imitating an 80s thriller movie. Like last time, this one is also recorded in a not-at-all-suitable recording space. MAGMAKAMMER possesses a kind of vintage heavy sound that lurks good in the ears.
Today's tune is picked from the EP and my choice ended up with "Bloody Diamond", the title tune by MAGMAKAMMER.
SAINT KARLOFF is a hard-hitting power trio from Norway, formed in 2015 at the mountains of loudness. Influenced by the world today and the music of yesterday. Psychedelic, heavy and raw.
Having made their mark on the international heavy music scene in 2018 with the release of their debut album, "All Heed The Black God", the album was inspired by 70s heavy blues bands like BLACK SABBATH and early PENTAGRAM and allowed the band to fuse this vintage sound with modern day stoner rock to create a sound indebted to world of today and the music of yesteryear.
With the impending release of "Coven of the Ultra-Riff" in September, a limited edition split with fellow riff worshippers, DEVILs WITCHES, SAINT KARLOFF – featuring Mads Melvold (Guitar, Vocals), Ole Sletner (Bass) and Adam Suleiman (Drums) – are a mounting force to be reckoned with. And as you’ll hear from the progressive, one-track multiverse journey that spans the whole of "Interstellar Voodoo", they’re unlikely to slow down for anyone, anytime soon.
The debut "All Heed the Black God" is released July 27, 2018 via Twin Earth Records and Hellas Records. The Vinyl can be obtained from Majestic Mountain Records, Cassette on Stoner Witch Records and CD on Ozium Records. The album was recorded at Blitz Lydstudio 2017 by Bjørn Larsen and Magnar Martinsen.

The Norwegian psychedelic black metal band IN THE WOODS... released their latest wonderful album "Cease The Day", in 2018.
With “Cease the Day”, IN THE WOODS… continue to prove themselves as masters of whatever craft they choose to pursue.
IN THE WOODS... has always been one of those truly thrilling bands. I guess it's their unique way to take on black metal, well-aged and refined into something really thrilling, it's like a whiskey in a barrel that over time just gets better. Continuing to perfect their sound while ever expanding it in new directions, "Cease The Day" is a powerful and kaleidoscopic effort. A thunderous undercurrent of melodic riffing drives these songs forward, elements of doom, death, and progressive metal all coming together to form a cohesive whole.
Chilling ambiance, psychedelia, avant-garde, and deep soaring vocals ebb and flow to craft a unique sound that truly must be heard to be believed, all before crushing the listener with the band’s most extreme moments since their debut "Heart Of The Ages".
"Cease The Day" was recorded in Kristiansand, Norway and Brighton, England Sept 2017 - May 2018. Mixed and mastered at Studio Henosis, France by Frédéric Gervais. Artwork and layout by Dr.Winter / Teratogen
Today's tune "Empty Streets" is the sprawling opener of "Cease The Day", enjoy!
MANES is a bold, atmospheric and assertive Norweigan avantgarde metal band. Their latest album "Slow Motion Death Sequence" is a hybrid of genres and influences with a real sense of urgency to push the boundaries of progressive metal. It has elements of electronica, trip-hop and alternative rock/metal delivered with a tasteful subtle pop sensibility in places. Listen closely and you can also find sprinkles of jazz, confirming that MANES isn’t afraid to experiment and take risks. "Slow Motion Death Sequence" is layered in detail and sometimes cinematic in scope, with a pretentious and unhealthy portion of nihilism and darkness with its theme and concept.
MANES was formed in Trondheim, Norway, in 1992. Their music has gone through many stages of transformation and mutation up until today, but the core of the band has remained unchanged for over 16 years. The band has had a mantra of exploration and experimentation in their approach to songwriting, and is hard to define by limiting genres. Overall it can best be described as a bastardization of rock and electronica with influences from jazz, metal and more. Still, the focus lies on what goes in the ear. The music has been called both atmospheric and cinematic, often with climactic builds and layers of detail. It can be both emotional and oppressive, and more often than not; cloaked in discomforting darkness.
MANES can in many ways be called somewhat of an artistic collective, not adhering to the traditional band-concept, as collaborations have become a staple of their sound. Often resembling a borderless playground for its members, Manes seek to find some glimpse of magic in what they create outside of their more normal band ambitions.
The album also features guest vocals by Ana Carolina Ojeda (MOURNING SUN) and Anna Murphy(CELLAR DARLING).
The members of MANES has been, or is, a part of bands like ATROX, THE THIRD AND THE MORTAL, LETHE, DRONTHEIM, CHTON, CALCORDER among others.
MANES has chosen to first and foremost focus on studio work and the creative aspects of music and is selective and eclectic regarding live appearances. Nevertheless, up through the years MANES has played a few concerts with bands like ISIS, KATATONIA, THEATER OF TRAGEDY and more, and has played festivals like Brutal Assault, Inferno, Quart, Dark Bombastic Evening, Blastfest and Pstereo. MANES has also played alternative shows like a semi-acoustic show at an art vernissage and a live collaboration with the noise artists B Revolution, and appreciate the possibility to experiment in a concert setting.
On "Slow Motion Death Sequence", the avant-garde crew (Tor-Helge Cern Skei, viNd, Rune Hoemsnes, Torstein Parelius, and Asgeir Hatlen) teamed up with ATROX / DRONTHEIM collaborators Tom Engelsøy, Rune Folgerø and Tor Arne Helgesen.
Today's tune "Endetidstegn" (is Norwegian and translates as sign or signs of the end times) is their first-ever music video, and the first visual companion to their new record, “Slow Motion Death Sequence”. Directed by Guilherme Henriques, "Endetidstegn" presents a bleak window into a personal form of apocalypse, the inevitable demise handed down by the vengeful Gods of modern man, vice, alcohol, drugs… Elements of psychedelic electronica and trip-hop converge over crunching guitars and haunting male/female vocal harmonies to evoke one's own Slow Motion Death Sequence.
The Norweigan oddballs VULTURE INDUSTRIES is an excellent band to continue the little far-out choice we had yesterday.
A band that plays a surrealist brand of dark metal cabaret, heavy rock vistas bent and twisted into living entities embodying the width and breadth of human emotion.
The single "Deeper" 7″ features the new VULTURE INDUSTRIES single paired up with a live recording of "The Benevolent Pawn" from the venerable concert venue USF in Bergen. This exclusive single, released for the Strange Rain Tour, is strictly limited to 500 copies on green Danish vinyl, released via Dark Essence Records.
The tune has a spaghetti western vibe of Ennio Morricone and with a touch of Nick Cave. "Deeper" tells the story of man's insatiable greed for more, as symbolized by the miners digging all the way to Hell.
The front man Bjørnar says this about the formation of the track: “It was one of those scorching summer days of 2018. The grass in the fields had all turned the colour of old paper, and the sun, at its zenith, was mercilessly searing our skin. Thirsty, hungry, and with tongues swelling, we had just missed the ferry crossing and could taste our hopes turn to ashes in our mouths. Trying to remain calm, but steadily feeling the building pressure of desperation, as a boiler ready to blow, we waited in line. Then suddenly the one year old in the back seat broke the silence chanting AHUM, AHUM, AHUM, AHUM! Overcome by what felt like divine inspiration but might very well have been sent from the depths of Hell, I started drumming on the dashboard. DUM, DADADUM, DADADUM, DADADUMDADUMDADUM.”
Members:
Bjørnar Erevik Nilsen – vocals and keys
Eivind Huse – guitars and vocals
Øyvind Madsen – guitars
Kyrre Teigen – bass and vocals
Tor Helge Gjengedal – drums
Today's tune "Deeper", is taken from the 7" single, released April 23, 2019.
HEX A.D. is a Norwegian Hard Rock band with a lot of progressive and doomy tendences, inspired by the great British bands of the 1970s.
HEX A.D. is the brainchild of drummer/singer Rick Hagan and producer Chris Tsangarides. The debut "Even The Savage Will See Fair Play" was released in 2012, and received great reviews in the Norwegian hard rock press.
A live band that consisted of Rick on vocals, John V on guitars, Stiffy Moe on Drums and Arry Gogstad on bass toured in support of the album between 2012 and 2015.
In the autumn of 2015 Magnus Johansen joined the lineup on hammond organ and mellotron to make a second album "The Last Nail In The Coffin Lid". Rick and Magnus alone made the new record in 8 days at Chris' studio in Kingsdown, UK.
On their return from England John left the group to focus on his own music, leaving Rick to handle both guitar and vocal duties. Rick's brother Matt replaced Stiffy on drums around the same time, giving the new live band a doomy and proggy feel.

Today's tune "A Nocturnal Report" taken from the album "The last Nail in the Coffin Lid", the video is a lyric video released Jun 20, 2017.
From the weatherbitten west coast of Norway comes a sound so alarming, dismal and alien, you'd be forgiven for thinking the world had gone under.
SOLSTORM (solar storm) is the mindwork of Ognoise, a noise talent from Kopervik on the westcoast of Norway. Emigrating to Bergen with Jaran Hereid and Camilo Beltran from deathmetal act GOLIATHON, they formed the line-up of SOLSTORM together with Helge Taksdal and drummer Mads Lilletvedt (HELLISH OUTCAST, BYFROST). Concentrating mainly on apocalyptic themes, creating the sound of armageddon and the inevitable end of all things SOLSTORM combine noise with doom and anti-euphoric stoner metal.
SOLSTORM combine riffs sharp as nails, beats heavy as a mammoth and a genuine feeling of sheer hopelessness, resulting in one of the most poignant and captivating doom releases in years. Think NEUROSIS and CULT OF LUNA at their heaviest for some kind of reference, but rest assured SOLSTORM scorch their very own hole in the atmosphere.
SOLSTORM released their first full-length in march 2011 through Duplicate Records and the 2nd album "II" was released by Apollon Records in October 4, 2019. "II" was recorded at Taakeheimen Lydrike, Oslo, and Consternation Recording, Bergen. Mixed by Helge Taksdal at Taakeheimen Lydrike, Oslo. Mastered by James Plotkin, New York. Coverdesign by Kristoffer Lundberg.

Today's tune "Vultures", taken from "Crimson Riders", enjoy!
BOKASSA frontman Jørn elaborates,
“To us ‘Vultures’ always had a desert road trip kind of groove to it. But there aren’t many deserts where we’re from in Norway, so we made this psychedelic wacky road trip video instead. It was shot in Manchester, UK, the day after we played Stade De France in Paris!”
