Backwoods Payback - Alone

BACKWOODS PAYBACK, from West Chester, Pennsylvania released their new album "Future Slum" a few weeks ago. This three-piece band consists of guitarist/vocalist Mike Cummings, bassist Jessica Baker, and drummer Erik Larson.

"Future Slum" is a really good album where music is like Stonergrunge, it heavy, dirty and partly very punky :)  Mlny Parsonz of ROYAL THUNDER hurls out a scream on the tune "Whatever". My favorite tune is "Alone",  a heavy and very groovy tune, slow pace with a real thickness that the distorted riffing get stuck into the wall when passing five on the volume control, if more is given, your wall will be gone.

Today's tune "Alone" is taken from the debut album "Future Slum", enjoy!

Black Elephant - Cosmic Soul

One would be hard-pressed to come up with a better descriptor for the Italian, BLACK ELEPHANTs "Cosmic Blues" than the title of their third album itself.

BLACK ELEPHANT is a four-piece rock band from Savona, Italy that has conjured ghosts of '70s heavy psychedelic rock to blues and masterful '90s riff-mongering southern sludge to offer a brew both potent and thoroughly modern.

BLACK ELEPHANT is comprised of lead vocalist/lead guitarist Alessio Caravelli, rhythm guitarist Massimiliano Giacosa, bassist Marcello Destefanis, and drummer Simone Brunzu.

Today's tune is the title track from "Cosmic Blues", the album is recorded and mixed by Giulio Farinelli. Recorded at Green Fog Studio, Genoa, Italy. Mixed by Giulio Farinelli at Everybody On The Shore studio, Milan, Italy. Mastered by Maurizio Giannotti at New Mastering Studio, Milan, Italy. Cover and Design by Robin Gnista. Published by Small Stone Records (ASCAP).

Endless Boogie - Back In '74

Meet ENDLESS BOOGIE, the best-kept secret in New York's rock scene. They have a pretty cool name (taken from John Lee Hooker's 1971 album).

They have released a new animated video for album track “Back in ’74”, which tells the story of Kiss playing at a kite festival in St. Louis, where he was injured on an acid trip.

They just want to rock with you, preferably all night long. "We try boogie sometimes, but boogie's hard," says guitarist Jesper Eklow (aka "The Governor") self-effacingly. "Boogie takes skill and we haven't honed those skills yet." The band's sound is a meltdown of metal, psychedelic and classic rock with a heavy dose of riffage, a kick-ass beat and super-cryptic lyrics. It's thunderous and mellow at once. To put it another way, it goes well with beer.

Aside from Eklow, the band is made up of Paul Major (aka "Top Dollar") on guitar and vocals, Mark Ohe (aka "Memories from Reno") on bass and Harry Druzd on drums. Needless to say, their collective knowledge of music is so expansive it's a little scary.

ENDLESS BOOGIE did a team up with legendary Swedish psych outfit TRÄD, GRÄS OCH STENAR a few weeks ago for a US tour, including stops at Cropped Out Festival, Ohio’s Wexner Center and New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. This will be ENDLESS BOOGIEs first extensive US tour since the release of 2016’s "Vibe Killer", which Uncut Magazine called “a masterclass in choogling.”

Today's tune "Back " is taken from the latest album "Vibe Killer", The tune is based on a true story! Animated by Micah Buzan, enjoy!

High On Fire - Electric Messiah

Monday, time to introduce "Record Of The Week".

"Electric Messiah", the eighth full-length studio release for the Oakland, California-based metal band HIGH ON FIRE led by Matt Pike.

Matt Pike (vocals/guitar), Jeff Matz (bass), and Des Kensel (drums)

HIGH ON FIRE has once again hired the producer Kurt Ballou, to assist in the album making of "Electric Messiah". The trio has really challenged themselves to evolve their beloved creation to something really marvelous and interesting.

The album opens of by a blast of bombast metal, straight into the face with "Spewn From The Earth". Then to the nine minutes of wonderful monotone and grinding riffing in "Steps Of The Ziggurat/House Of Enlil", a monstrous piece that you will play more than once. The title tune "Electric Messiah", with lyrics written reportedly to paying tribute to the legendary Lemmy Kilmister and it's like a MOTÖRHEAD tune on 45 rpm, fast and unmistakable galloping with a loud and raging fury. The sinister melody of "Sanctioned Annihilation", a ten and half minute masterpiece with pummelling tribal rhythms will keep you on track, being the longest song HIGH ON FIRE have ever written. The more metal jamming tunes like "The Pallid Mask" and heavy riffing "The Witch And The Christ" makes the old days shine true with a clean Matt Pike behind the michrophone. The aesthetic high-octane rocker "God Of The Godless". "Freebooter" is a thunderous piece, fast and full of rage riffing with blistering drums and a breakneck rhythm. The melodic closer "Drowning Dog" is a real upswing, more classic and catchy in the hole, great riffing, great vocals, great drumming, inventive rhythms that make this tune a great standout tune at the end of a marvelous album. The album has eleven hard-hitting tunes that will please you as a listener from start to finish, great job guys.


Sum: Don't miss this album, it's a knockout!

Enjoy "Electric Messiah"!
