Right before we get to go wild with a new Doom Chart, here’s the April rundown of the Top 10 most listened to artists on the HiVe…

Isla Fortuna – Verity

Isla Fortuna – Verity

Self released – 2019

Rock, Stoner, Psych

Rated: ****

I absolutely adore the cover image of the Verity album by Isla Fortuna. The surrealistic, magic realistic almost Salvador Dalí like picture speaks to your imagination and will have your fantasy run wild. At least, it does in my case… And that is something the eight tracks on this album will do for you as well. The three Cypriots have managed to produce a psychedelic stoner rock album that will be easy to grasp but then surrounds you with so many atmospherical elements and such a warm whirling tonality it will seem like you’re being transported to that tiny gramophone island in the middle of a vast ocean. That desert edge, those progressive touches, the way the spin out their melodies and all of that on that tiny island… And then that final track Thinker’s Cave. What a send-off. High energy. Proper fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio…

Monday Monday, So good to me. Monday morning, it was all I hope it would be… What were The Mamas & The Papas thinking when they wrote those lines. Sure, it’s to mislead you at the beginning before the true nature of the song kicks in; but still… What if you can’t make it that far? And the lousy feeling that you have because the weekend is over sticks with you until the following weekend? What then? Luckily we don’t have to actually listen to that song; we have tons of magic floating around that will brighten up every day! On repeat for instance has been Isla Fortuna and their Verity album. Which we will post a mention about in a few minutes. Instrumental space extravaganza Earthling, Go Home! By Hhoogg has also been spinning a lot. Just like Green Lung and their Woodland Rites album. Hey, it didn’t end up at the Number 1 position of the Doom Charts for nothing! Noise, punk, thrash, metal and more is featured proudly on the High Anxiety album, out on Thrill Jockey, by Oozing Wound. Seven past paced bangers that will stomp out every last bit of hangover! Come on Monday! I’ll take ya down! We dug the shit out of the Elefantes release back in 2013 and must confess we for some reason did not take notice of the releases after that one until Picaporters slapped us silly with their new XXIII record! Psychedelic doom, metal and more metal and more metal and an occult flavor all with a very own sound. Amazing record! Check it out! Check it all out!
