Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday
Another Quick Fire Friday round today! All thanks to the amount of singles and videos coming in lately and the fact we had to get the Peroration Post ready for the Doom Charts. Loads of reviews are almost done. But can’t completely find the time to finish them… But for the Quick Fire Friday craziness we only use a small amount of words to get the good word out! The good word about something heavy and something cool! Check it out below… And we know… There is so much out there, so much good and heavy stuff, and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. But here it is… Another Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!
Pipe Dreamer – Past The Point Of No Return
Their debut album No Solace For The Soulless was released in January 2021 and reviewed on the HiVe in February. And on September 18th they will send out the first single Past The Point Of No Return for their upcoming EP The Past Is Just A Memory. Which will be ‘a reflection of the many aspects of loss and the feelings left behind. It’s a cathartic piece of sonic art that will resonate with those missing someone in their lives.’ Cathartic, that’s how we ended our review of their debut record. And that’s how this blackened, post metal and sludge single will work as well… Especially on repeat…

Prosthetic Bung - Mr. Neckofthewoods
Prosthetic Bung, straight out of Toronto, Canada! A two-piece consisting of Steff & Zach who do this weird, chaotic, stream of consciousness noise experiment. Indeed, five highly improvised tracks, recorded in a cloud of smoke and what possibly might be a fit of mental derangement. And since releasing Mr. Neckofthewoods they have already released a new selection of improvisational craziness called Schallplatten der Unergründlich Büngüs. So, better check’m all out, before they release a next one!
Bloodthorne – El Presidente
They’re about to release their new album entitled Cosmic Passengers, and El Presidente is the lead single of that album. We are talking about doom, stoner trio Bloodthorne from Bristol, Tennessee, USA. Stoner metal with a definite doom trod, a penchant for bluesy guitar work and a Southern touch. These seven and a half minutes of riffs and that later forward pushing metal holds a lot of promise for the rest of the album.. Can’t wait for September to arrive!

Halcyon Bluefish - Promised Land
Featuring Andrew Paine from Ethyl Ehter and Filthy Hippies and on this track South African hero Desmond Kannemeyer it’s Promised Land by the Halcyon Bluefish duo. New wave, dark wave, gothic touched, vaporous and spellbinding. That Mongrel Records definitely knows how to pick out the crazy good ones…
Wolf Prayer – Oblivion
Are you ready to float off with the fuzzy dream rockers Wolf Prayer? Check out Oblivion, the second single from the Spell Of The Crimson Eye album. Cosmic, hypnotizing and groovy! And that luscious incredibly soulful seventies key-work later on, yowzah!

Earthblood - Primal Fury
And then there’s the Earthblood three to bring it all back down to earth with an explosive bang! Primal Fury is the lead single for the Primal Fury EP to be released on Inverse Records, September 22nd. Furious sludge and doom metal, delivered at runaway train speed and running over all that stand in its way. Zang!
Hippie Death Cult – Better Days
We all love a good cult! Well, all and only the rocking kinds! Like Hippie Death Cult! And they will release their new album Helichrysum on Heavy Psych Sounds on October 20th! But the second single Better Days is out now and takes it all back towards those haze days, sixties and seventies rock, but with a doom touch and a glowing psychedelic soul heart. Loving it! Buzzing over here!
