Häxmästaren - Sol I Exil

Monday, new week, time for us to hail a album with "Record Of he Week".

HÄXMÄSTAREN, the Gothenburg’s stoner/doom/sludge behemoths serves us with a release of their explosive sophomore album "Sol I Exil"!

HÄXMÄSTAREN is from Gothenburg, Sweden formed in early 2017. Debut album "Haexprocess" was released in 2018, and the band self released the follow up, "Sol I Exil" in March 12, 2021 and then they signed a deal with the Swedish Majestic Mountain Records for a proper release, the Vinyl got shipped in the end of August, where the wax came in a wicked, transparent gren and yellow haze. Almost looks like an eye of a "HÄXMÄSTARE", lol.

"Sol I Exil" is a flaming sledgehammer of stoner doom and blackened sludge, walking the thin line between blackened sludge and traditional heavy metal. Already from the opening tune "Blood Moon" they serve us with banging hard with breakneck riffage, whiskey soaked vocals that at times gets terribly angry, spits and hisses, the end result is brilliant. "Millennium Phenomenon" is a fablous piece with rumbling bass line and thundering drums along with some ferocious guitar playing, and serves us with a hypnotic guitar riff and searing solos that makes me cringe. "Wavelurker" and "Growing Horns" shows the blackened side of the band, here the musical influence palette gotten some more choices, where the mix of selected ingredients are very wise. The metal is still thick as syrup and wonderfully crunchy on the blackened parts. Where in "Children Of The Mountain" they set fire on the blackened side, the guttural growls haunts out it's own extremities with a surging energy. Some sludgy doom roots in "Dödskult Ritual" and the title tune "Sol I Exil", where the lyrics are sung in their Swedish mother tongue. The later one closes the album with a swinging groove, with some doomy vocals that burst out to the hallowed howls of the damned, cleavery musican ship between the members serves us marvelous drumming, clear and distorted bass and a bautiful guitar handeling. "Sol I Exil" is a marvelous album, highly recomended.

Sum: "Sol I Exil" is a top notch doomy piece that you can't miss!

Today's tune "Sol I Exil", the title tune from the new album, enjoy!

Dopelord - Sign Of The Devil

Monday, new week. It's time to introduce "Record Of The Week".

"Sign Of The Devil" is the fourth full-length by the Polish doom/stoner veterans DOPELORD. A band that was founded in late 2010 in Lublin. Smoking, rehearsing and touring. Their main inspirations are old movies, 70s music, and magical herbs.

This follow-up to 2017’s great album "Children Of The Haze" offers a pretty similar trip in the traditional stoner doom world. There is one difference in the latest effort comparing to the previous releases, the songwriting has increased a lot and makes "Sign Of The Devil" as DOPELORDs finest release so far.

36 minutes is what "Sign Of The Devil" clocks in at, that divided into 6 tunes, lights up pretty quickly that the songs hold a rather moderate long play. Tune low, play slow and heavy, a typical signature for a band like this. The tunes take some time and let the demon slowly get up close, and when the time is right, beat their sharp claws hard and deep in your human body.

The album opens up with a thick bassline in "The Witching Hour Bell", the tune has a driven drony line with clean vocals, the same formula is used in "World Beneath Us" and "Heathen", the later with a more melodic vocal vibe. The filthy blackened "Hail Satan" has some mixed vocals between harsh and clean, it also contains some incredible riffs and it's very groovy, psychedelic and ends with a nice synth part which gives the tune a cool facelift. The excellent titled "Doom Bastards" falls just off of the ten-minute mark, heavy and slow spacey leads that after a while falls into the heavy and earth-cracking riffs in a bed of roses with a devil trying to recruit you to the other side. The album closes with the punky and speedy "Headless Decapitator" that really shows that they can leave the slow pace and get a bit electrified. So get ready to shake your overweight body to this. DOPELORD has really managed to create an interesting and well-made experience that contains earth-cracking riffs, low tuned doom to headbanging rock. At least Satan will wave his hands high for this release.

The amazing album artwork that captures all the classic doom influences, like kings, magic, darkness, religion, plague, and deaths is made by Fabian Staniec (Pathogen Tattoo)

Line-up:

Piotr Zin aka Klusek - Bass, Vocals

Paweł Mioduchowski aka Miodek - Guitar, Vocals

Grzegorz Pawłowski Mroku - Guitar

Piotr Ochociński - Drums

Today's tune "Doom Bastards" is taken from "Sign Of The Devil", the album was released March 10, 2020. Enjoy!

Saint Karloff - Radioactive Tomb

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.

Year Of The Cobra - Into The Fray

Seattle stoner doom powerhouse YEAR OF THE COBRAs second album "Ash And Dust" is sure to ultimately establish the duo - comprised of Amy Tung (bass/vocals) and Jon Barrysmith (drums) - as one of the genre's brightest stars, presenting a darker and more diverse sound than before with both psychedelic and post punk elements where they use their limitation in instrumentation to their advantage. Their songs drift relentlessly from classic epic doom laments into oppressive heavy riff architecture; from catchy, almost upbeat rock moments into transfiguring psychedelia.

By now, YEAR OF THE COBRA have found their very own niche, where lava-like riffs and pounding grooves melt with vocals of radiant grace and hooks of remarkable pop sensibility. Between all its excruciating heaviness, "Ash And Dust" reveals moments of light-hearted and angelic beauty. Captured into a larger-than-life production by legendary sound engineer Jack Endino (NIRVANA, SOUNDGARDEN, BRUCE DICKINSON), the album is a sonic experience that makes you want to dance into a flaming abyss.

Today's tune "Into The Fray" is taken from "Ash And Dust", enjoy!

Deadneck - Sleepless

"It's all about groovy riffs, having fun, beer, friends and speaker destroying, mind altering sonic explosions"

DEADNECK are a stoner blues doomrock group band hailing from Joutseno, Finland, founded in 2011 in the hinterlands of eastern parts of the country by friends who shared the passion for slow tunes. Band comes with a sound that could have been dragged from the swamps of New Orleans.

With a sound that could have been dragged from the swamps of New Orleans, Levitation will leave true fans of the stoner metal genre reaching for their pipe. But Levitation is more than just your bog standard "stoner metal" outing.

Throughout its six tracks, the listener is taken deeper into rabbit hole, as the band experiment with psychedelic sounds and droning doom, all wonderfully contrasted by the soulful blues soaked vocals of Aleski Laakso. Sit back, skin up, and let Deadneck lead the way...

Aleksi Laakso - Vocals

Vesa Toivanen - Bass

Sauli Purhonen - Guitar

Ville Priha - Guitar

Nightstalker - Great Hallucinations

New week... time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

This week we put our attention to the land of Apollo and Olive Oil, here we find the Greece rockers NIGHTSTALKER. They have been around for two decades already. "Great Hallucinations" is the eight album release from these guys. This is an album that is rooted in old school hard rock with great tunes, cool lyrics with a bluesy, distorted, catchy and melodic sound that make it a loveful listening hour. In other words, everything that is needed to make a great album that hits your soul. Eight tunes split over 42 mins, makes the average length of the tunes perfectly reasonable.

"Great Hallucinations" is a groovy, catchy piece with a great variation in the tunes to keep the interest up and rolling all the way to the finish line. It's a well-crafted album with good production and sound, clear separation of all the instruments and vocals in the mix. Great power in Argy's voice, heavy and fuzzy guitar from Tolis, spacey and groovy bass licks from Andreas bass and finally a great swing in Dino's arms when he hits the drums.

The album opens up with the energic and upbeat rocker "Black Cloud", catchy lyrics surrounded by a heavy melodic guitar riffing that makes it almost impossible to sit still. This followed by the half paced rocker and first single "Sweet Knife", heavy chorus, upbuilding tempo in the end where they almost go bananas without losing focus. The album continues delivering excellent tunes, take the big rhythms in the tune "Sad Side Of The City", or the heavy fuzzy riffing in the melodic pieces "Seven Out Of Ten" and "Half Crazy", or the bluesy and groovy tune "Cursed" and the beautiful "Hole In The Mirror", heavy, melodic and just marvelous. The album closes with a trippy ending in "Great Hallucinations". This is a solid album release from NIGHSTALKER, absolutely worth checking up!

Sum: "Great Hallucinations" is an evening bath with Olive Oil without mushrooms.

NIGHTSTALKER consists: 

Argy (Vocals), 

Andreas Lagios (Bass), 

Tolis Motsios (Guitar), 

Dinos Roulos (Drums).

Today's tune "Sweet Knife" is taken from "Great Hallucinations", enjoy!

Sleep - Holy Mountain

Sunday, time for a classic.

Yesterday the Swedish capital Stockholm once again got the privilege to get a visit by the American doom metal power trio SLEEP from San Jose, California.

I think this was the third time I have witnessed these guys live and they surely can deliver a heavy and loud trip into the stoner world. This time they played at Münchenbryggeriet here in Stockholm. Monotone rock, loud as hell and slow lightning that framed this up in a perfect way and I can say that I was happy when I drew home after the show.

Setlist from the show:

Intro (Moon Landing Radio Transmission)
Marijuanaut's Theme
Holy Mountain
The Clarity
Sonic Titan
Giza Butler
Leagues Beneath
The Botanist
Dragonaut

Today's tune "Holy Mountain" is taken from the second studio album "Sleep's Holy Mountain" (also known as Holy Mountain). It was released in November 1992 in Europe, and March 1993 in the USA through Earache Records.

The recordings that would become "Sleep's Holy Mountain" were originally sent to independent label Earache as a demo. The label immediately signed the band and released the recordings exactly as they were received. It was the last album to be released by the band as a fully functioning group for a while, as their subsequent albums up to 2018's "The Sciences" were released after the group had broken up.

The album, which includes the word "stoner" in the lyrics of two songs and prominently features cannabis leaves in its album art, is widely considered one of the seminal albums in the evolution of stoner rock. It became a favorite of the heavy metal press and the band was heralded, along with Kyuss, as leaders of the emerging stoner metal scene.

Enjoy!

Dorre - Satisfying Sadistic Urges

"Fall River" is a full-length debut by the Belgian Psych/Progressive/Doom/Noise band DORRE. An album that took a two year journey of writing, rewriting, sound-searching, recording and collaborating with profoundly talented artists and partners. The album is a dark and murky sensory undertaking, wandering through the alluring town of "Fall River".

DORRE was born at the Rock Café in Leuven when Adriaan De Raymaeker (guitar) and Wolf Overloop (drums) decided to head up to the attic that PEKTOP (Adriaan’s former band) used to rehearse. Picking up a guitar and settling behind the drums respectively, the noise began to fill the room. Deep, dark, heavy riffs were made and quite possibly enjoyed by several blocks of flats and houses around the building. No big plans were made. One show every year, free beer, towers of cabs and amps, guest musicians joining in the jam.

After several years of this continued tradition, DORRE was asked to play more shows. Obligingly, several small stages around Leuven were played and Erik Heyns (guitar) joined the steady line-up. Deciding that the time had come to widen the scope of DORRE, a more serious approach was taken to write long pieces of music that incorporated every aspect of each musician. A cohesion of doom, noise, psychedelic rock, blues and stoner was organically formed between the two guitars and the drums. In 2015 DORRE played a select set of shows as a build-up towards an EP release in December. The EP was made and released following a first stint outside of the borders, touring throughout England and Scotland in January of 2016 and sharing the stage with many great bands.
Mid-2016, a longtime friend and sound guy Andrew Hockley joined the line-up, taking up bass duties for the band. In 2019 the full-length album "Fall River" saw the daylight.

A beautiful red/black version on vinyl, limited to 100 albums. Get it while you can.

Today's tune "Satisfying Sadistic Urges" is taken from "Fall River", just listen to this amazing tune, wait for the middle part, picking guitars give you goose bumps, enjoy!

Goblinsmoker - Toad King

GOBLINSMOKER was started as a one man project by Adam Kennedy in Durham in late 2016. Having spent a number of years touring with his previous band, Adam wanted to write a record that embraced his biggest and favoured musical influences. Taking the seething bleakness of black metal and combining it with the fuzz soaked riff worship of doom.

Adam set about not only writing the record but also creating a mythology that would be fully entwined in the band’s sound, lyrical content and art. The band would focus on telling the story of the Toad King, the discontented ruler of the goblins and their forest home. A place where goblin subjects would willing sacrifice themselves to be smoked by their King.

After laying down the foundations of the songs, Adams long term friend Calum Young offered to play the drums on the record, embracing the sound and the story. The next year was spent polishing the songs and the essence of the band.

In mid 2018 GOBLINSMOKER entered the recording studio, recording with Adam’s long term recording partner Joe at No Studio in Manchester. The record was recorded with Adam on guitars, bass and vocal duty and Calum on drums. After a weekend of countless fuzz pedal combinations and too much time spent listening to toad samples, the first instalment of the story was complete. ‘Toad King’ was born.

"Toad King" was released on Sludgelord Records (SLR017), December 14, 2018 Recorded & Mixed by: Joe @ No Studio, Mastered by: Brad Boatright @ Audiosiege, Art by: Adam C Design

GOBLINSMOKER is:
