Fuzzy Cracklins (The Swamp Records) Vita est Morte est Vita isn’t just an album—it’s a descent. BOREHEAD drags you under with tidal riffs and lets you come up gasping for meaning. Four movements, zero words, endless weight. Doom for the soul searchers. 🤘🐊 Favorite track: Macadamia.

Henrik Thøgersen Excellently hypnotic stoner-psych to get lost in on lazy weekend mornings.

ilferru very good instrumental psych Stoner doom. Varied and imaginative.

Progressive stoner rock at face value, but the focus is on mood and atmosphere. There are hypnotic and rhythm-driven instrumental passages, interspersed with more conventional vocal-driven songs, and you never quite expect what comes next as the album unfolds. This is heavy, driving, and endlessly interesting. The overall effort comes across a bit like FNM’s Angel Dust. Lute FP

German Stoner / Doom Metal. This is quite unique imho... :) Especially the first track where I get quite a few Black Sabbath vibes - with no Ozzy obviously & then there are the doom vocals with some BM addition on top - what a mix... :) It all works very well too! A crushing album! There is even meant to be a little man at the bottom of the cover carrying a beacon of hope - he has been crushed out of existence too - all meant in the best possible way... :) Thanks Vast Pyre!
