Good morning! Hope you all had a great week and may you all have a lovely new one. Remember, there is always good and great music to find refuge in, to provide aid and succor. And we are here, the embracing family of the heavy underground. Had a great chat with Dawn and Dandy Brown last night about Lorquin’s Admiral, an interview that will be online on Stoner HiVe soon. And managed to provide some new posts last week. We jotted down a few words on the new Minerall album, the new  Duskhead EP, amazing new The Elven record and Technicolor Blood’s new release. A video for Döusk and Temple Fang and talked at length about how great that new Grey Czar album Euarthropodia. Which we were honored to do a FULL ALBUM PREMIERE for a few days later. No live music for me this weekend unfortunately, but I hope loads managed to see Acid Mammoth do their one-off, extra-long, amazing set at De Tanker in Amsterdamn yesterday. Let us know if you did and how good it was?!  Here’s hoping we can do some stuff for the HiVe this week as well! Enjoy and check out the list of amazing albums we listened to last week. Either by visiting their bandcamp sites or clicking on that Spotify link below. Keep rockin everyone!

Stoner HiVe's Weekly Top 10 Most Listened

Week 16

Duskhead – The Messenger

 

Duskhead – The Messenger
Self-released – 2025
Rock, Hard, Stoner, Southern
Rated: ***

The fabled Roadburn Festival is just around the corner. And so is the Roadburn Offroad part of the festival, held at different venues, nooks and crannies of lovely Tilburg. One of those spots is Little Devil, which will welcome the travelers as of Tuesday. But the live music will start on Thursday, April 17th with Mantra Machine and Duskhead. For Duskhead it will be a special night, cause its their first gig in a long time and the presentation of their new four track EP, The Messenger. And we are here to tell you that it’s a night you should not miss and an EP worth every second of your attention. It’s the follow-up to their Thousand Eyes EP from 2014. That’s right, eleven years ago! But of course, the members rock(ed) out in other bands and those bands took precedence. Back then. It might also have caused two of them to depart Duskhead and guitarist Elmer Meijers from The Grand Astoria to join the ranks. The two Tank86 crazies are still there and since that band has gone on an indefinite hiatus, they can now concentrate on Duskhead as a trio. Four songs that move and sway through the stoner rocking landscape, implore a southern touch and a lot of spirit. Bluesy and catchy, for the most part their hardrock has a minor punk influence here and there but always marries a sharp edge with melodicism and powerful with dynamics. And that gives you fifteen minutes of damn exciting, good ol’ rock ‘n roll!

Duskhead – Thousand Eyes

Duskhead – Thousand Eyes
Rising Magma Records – 2014
Rock, Stoner, Blues, Southern
Rated: ****

 

The release date for the second EP Thousand Eyes by Dutch formation Duskhead is approaching fast. And for those of you who have been unaware of said band. The formation is made up out of Jochum van Weert and Rogier Berben who make up the rhythm section of instrumental stoner metal riff monster Tank86. Together with guitar player Joerie Dekker from Sofia Nero and drummer Lars Spijkervet from Horseshoe Sharkattack they released their first self-titled debut in 2013. A ramshackle collection of rowdy rockers. On a Thousand Eyes the boys take a few steps forwards and one or two back. For their highly soulful sound with that extreme accessible take we loved on their debut has been replaced for something much bluesier and rawer. The southern gentleman charisma is still there but changed into something much more swaggering. It starts off with a biker mentality hitting the road looking for some action and continues down the highway full speed. But it’s on Life In A Nutshell they show their prowess best with damn tasty guitar moves and very bad ass worms. And they end with this funky blues bopper that just keeps demanding that foot stomp like you’re down in the bayou somewhere. There’s no escaping the fact: after hearing the new EP; everyone turns into a Duskhead…
