Album Review: Black Rainbows – Cosmic Ritual Supertrip
Italy’s cult stoner rockers BLACK RAINBOWS are back with their ass-kicking, whiplash-inducing new album ‘Cosmic Ritual Supertrip’ this May 22nd on Heavy Psych Sounds! The new album is heavier than 2018’s ‘Pandemonium’ and this eighth full-length album is about to turn your heads upside down for good.

Album Review : Fu Manchu’s ‘Clone Of The Universe’
I guess I’ve never been much of a desert rock kind of guy. I’m pretty pale, so the desert holds some pretty painful fates for me. Not even SPF 50 is going to protect me from the raw, naked sun out in Joshua Tree territory, man. I’ll fry like a lobster. Melt some butter and …
Album Review: Red Fang – Only Ghosts
I’ve been digging into the Red Fang discography for the last few days, ever since I picked up their newest album Only Ghosts on the always trusty Relapse Records. I have to say, with the exception of a few songs I’m not all that moved by these Portland stoner rockers. I’d heard the track “Cut …

Since 2005 the Santa Cruz, California trio Mammatus have been churning out some seriously mind-melting psych and stoner rock.

While …

Tomorrow starts one of the most novel and exciting music events happening in Portugal at the moment, Reverence Valada Festival. After last year’s excellent first edition of the festival, expectations have been overcome with this year’s more ecclectic but equally fresh line up of artists who will be performing on the 27th, the 28th and …
Meet: ‘Walks With Motorists’: A Talk With White Hills
If you’re a fan of New York City’s White Hills, then you know they’re not a band to rest on their laurels. With each album they seem to take their fuzzed-out space rock to another, much higher plateau. Whether it be creating ambient drone tracks to sit in-between their gothic Sabbath crunch rockers, or taking a …
