So, updates might be few and far between for a week… Should magic happen and we get all the work done quickly, we will be getting down to some Doom Charts and Stoner HiVe business tomorrow… Or perhaps surely… Cause we all know what day it is tomorrow… Grin!

Stoner HiVe’s Top 5 artists listened to last week…


Stoner HiVe’s
Top 5 artists listened to last week…


Monday Monday… Sure, the melody from The Mamas & The Papas sticks in your head, but those lyrics; can’t agree with those. It’s always been more about the Boomtown Rats version for me! But let’s not dwell to long on the fact that the weekend is over once again and the week is only just starting. Let’s mention those five artists we listened to the most during the past week! Dutch stoner trio Dreckneck has been spinning like a whirlwind over here! There new album Dirty Habits (Rule Us All) is righteous stoner and desert release that will have you stomping your feet, pounding your fists and banging your head! Released some six months ago is self-titled effort Emanuel Desperados! Sublime Norwegian stoner and hard rock with twists of metal and grunge. And it’s out on a very limited run of vinyl! Awesome stuff! Another Dutch outfit that has been digging through our head is three-piece Diggeth and their new album Gringos Galacticos. This hard and heavy rock! Absolutely smashing stoner with some progressive touches here and there; some metal infused southern touches or even Americana grade blues and most of all grade a songwriting and production. This is simply put: solid gold! American trio Skirt released their new record Reinstate The Guillotine a few weeks ago. Spacey heaviness with overtones of fast paced psychedelic goodness and a garage sounding take on hardrock. Grimy and druggy! And damn tasty! Just like Kadaif, the Turkish Delight album, released through Reality Rehab Records, tipped by our newest member The Reek of STOOM, who seems to have the good news for the tasty stuff! “Kadaif offers the listener a sumptuous platter of seven tasty instrumental morsels, each infused with heavy Eastern influences.” And more! We can’t get enough of it! Just like the other ones. So, check’m out! Check’m all out!

Diggeth – 21st Century Nomad


Diggeth – 21st Century Nomad
Bertus/T35 – 2009
Rock/Metal/ ’n Roll/Stoner/Blues
Waardering: ****


The threesome earned their rockspurs in bands such as Social Disaster, Wicked Mystic, Non Divine and Alimentation. So it’s not so strange that we can hear all that experience on their debut album 21st Century Nomad. The story of Dutch born Diggeth, cause that’s the band we are talking about here, starts in the summer over 2004. A year later they released a three songs counting single called One More Yesterday. After which an international tour began, with crowning achievement the opening slot for a Michael Schenker show. Thanks to the fact that percussionist Roel Bruggink also played the drums for the 2008 Schenker tour. In the early spring though he left the band and got replaced by Roel Hartjes; and with this line-up a tour following Sacred Reich commenced. We should be able to state, and surely hope that Diggeth will be around and rising for a long long time. Cause the album is filled with quite a few true rock-diamonds. Nine metal songs which drive one blues rhythms or groove like stoner; but are always honest, hard, rough, raw and heavy! (And since 2011 Hartjes has been replaced by founding member Benjamin Kip…)
