THAT NEW CLUTCH SONG

Really glad I was introduced to Clutch a couple of years ago after scalping some Motorhead tickets at the last minute. They really set the stage with the warm buzz of their amps; it was high energy stoner rock was crossbread with … Read the rest of this entry →

CAULK RAWKING VIDEOS FROM MAMMOTH MAMMOTH, ALPHA TIGER, GRAVEYARD

These three videos are awesome/hilarious and the one undercurrent running through them is a vaguely retro aesthetic. In the case of Alpha Tiger it’s actually not the least bit vague or even in the same universe as subtlety but that … Read the rest of this entry →

MORE DOOMY STONER FUN FROM WITCHCRAFT, SVOLK

Gosh! First a new Orchid tune and now this. Seems like the stoner/doom/psychedelia cartel is coordinating an uptick in production. Worry not, I’ll cross refrence bong shop sales with fall record releases and come back to you with a full … Read the rest of this entry →

NEW WITCHCRAFT TUNE IS SMOOOOOOTH

I’ve long pigeonholed this band as a less pretentious version of The Doors but this new material promises to challenge most conventions people have about Witchcraft. Their doom-tinged brand of psychadelic rock has found more traction with me lately. Perhaps, like many people, … Read the rest of this entry →

BARONESS PLAYED LIVE SOMEWHERE, MADE VIDEO OF IT

This band may not be metal in any meaningful sense anymore but their sense of melody, and the resulting fills and guitar licks, really keeps them afloat for me. I’m a sucker for groove. What can I say? The last … Read the rest of this entry →

New Mehroness, I MEAN BARONESS.

Ok ok I’ll try for less of the snark attack. This is a decent rock song and the guitar interplay that is the Baroness hallmark is certainly there but it just doesn’t slay the way “Isak” did. La cosa es … Read the rest of this entry →

New Game Of Thrones Themed Song From Gypsyhawk

So, I just finished Game of Thrones season 2 yesterday and, like most things in my life, just as soon as I’ve sort of got it figured out, it spirals into a zombie apocalypse. Thankfully, they haven’t modernized the book’s … Read the rest of this entry →

Kyuss Added To Esteemed Club Of Bands Bickering About Band Name

Upon browsing Blabbermouth, I found a bunch of footage from the recent Kyuss Lives! performance in Slovenia. The somewhat nostalgic incarnation of Kyuss, who are commonly credited as originators of stoner metal, sounds pretty good. If you may not have … Read the rest of this entry →

Altered Artists: Black Wizard

I may be going overboard with these branded segments but I take solace in the fact that CNN makes me look damn professional by comparison. Even if you see through my poorly veiled attempt at manufacturing excuses to post my … Read the rest of this entry →

A Castle In The Vast Blacklands

Photo by Eric Haines Though female fronted, doomy retro metal is being done already –notably that of the garage NWOBHM variety in Olympia, Washington’s own Christian Mistress– a female-lead doomish power trio could be intriguing. Intriguing enough to take siesta … Read the rest of this entry →

Sandrider’s Eponymous Debut

If you’re a diehard disciple of stoner rock and metal you’ve probably heard this band. As we speak, you’re also probably packing a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, screamers, laughers, a quart of Tequila and probably have not the slightest … Read the rest of this entry →

Ride The Wolf; Hit The Turbo. Turbowolf!

Turbowolf is a little band from Bristol, UK that plays a loud, psychadelic form of rock with an upbeat stoner feel, kinda Early Black Sabbath meets Deep Purple. Their newest video, the cheerily named “Let’s Die” is below. Amidst the … Read the rest of this entry →

Give Thanks as You Throw The Goat

On the eve of thanksgiving, it only seems appropriate that I find something to give thanks for. Hmmm. I’m thankful for my health, my freedom and the pursuit of happiness? BORING. How about booze, sex and rock and roll, something … Read the rest of this entry →

Svölk ‘Em All; Let Billy Bob Sort ‘Em Out.

Svölk proves that even Norway has rednecks and actually creates some pretty gnarley heavy metal rock n’ roll in the process. This band recently burst onto the metal blogosphere with a disjointed, debaucherous music video for the album opener “52″ … Read the rest of this entry →

Heavy Glow: Midnight Moan

Midnight Moan is a record that is a slightly different from the music we usually feature but I decided to give it a quick rundown for the simple fact that I find it very enjoyable. In fact, between our recent … Read the rest of this entry →

Orange Goblin, The Gates of Slumber, Naam at Studio 7

So, Peter and I decided to undertake a journey to a Stoner Metal show at Studio 7 back on the 10th. I was pretty jacked because, essentially, I believe that it’s a very underrated genre. Not only does it provide … Read the rest of this entry →
