Stoner HiVe’s
Top 5 artists listened to last week…
Festival season is upon us. Wild times and a whole lot of great music! Next up is
Graspop; which starts this Thursday. With big names like
Guns ‘N Roses, Iron Maiden, Volbeat and
Megadeth. But also,
Baroness, Dool, Ghost, Kadavar, Planet of Zeus, Vintage Caravan and a whole lot of metal from every genre. Yihaw! But we still found some time to listen to great stuff at home as well! Like
Black Orchid Empire and their
Yugen album. Smashing stuff! Or
Lowen and their
A Crypt In The Stars release. Magical from front to back! Both absolutely excellent and both of which we mentioned earlier on the
HiVe. And then there was the new
Jollymon album
Void Walker, that suddenly appeared on the radar! Yes,
Jollymon releases new stuff after eighteen years! A perfect combination of stoner metal and space rock. Less grungy than their earlier work this is one hell of a release. One that ticks all my personal boxes and I am pretty sure it shall tick everyone’s boxes! So, get on board the
Jollymon spaceship and ride the endless groove through the void! The latest
Arctic Monkeys is still on rotation and we wonder how it will translate on the
Werchter stage where we will catch’m in a few weeks’ time. And because of the sad news of
Arthur van Berkel’s passing, we played
Orange Sunshine for two days straight. Remembering all the times we watched him do his magic on stage. We hope he is swirling around in psychedelic goodness and peace wherever he might be. And we implore you, if you haven’t already, to put on that
Orange Sunshine magic and swirl around with him. And feel the love for his comrades from the band, all his friends and family! So, ride those waves! Ride them all!
