The Three of Tuesday

The Three of Tuesday

Yes. I know. We depicted a tree for this Three of Tuesday post. But Stoner HiVe likes to rustle the feathers and mix things up. And for the Three of Tuesday we will try and something different on occasion. We unfortunately did it only once; but now Shastabeast has gone and stirred up the pot! In a big way, cause he highlighted four instead of three releases… That dirty beast! Check out what he has to say about the awesome [addicted label] from Russia and a few of their releases! Heeeere's Shasta!

And now for something a little different. In the burgeoning underground scene of Russian Federation, [addicted label] has been a one stop shop for all things heavy since 2011, dealing in experimental noise, acid psych jams, sludge, and everything in between. Highlighted below are just a few choice parts of the well curated catalog, with plenty more to dig into.

Juice Oh Yeah - Sila Vselennoy

Juice Oh Yeah! This is eerie, mystical garage doom with psyched out Sabbath roots, drawing you into some dangerous yet groovy ritual. A different and attention grabbing take on bluesy doom.

Bandcamp

Pressor - Weird Things

Brutal weighted sludge with a weird, spacey edge to it. Pressor's wall of sound is mercilessly crushing.

Bandcamp

The Grand Astoria - Punkadelia Supreme

A frenetic, unpredictable, and totally unique melting pot of stoner rock, psych, folk, southern rock, and more. The Grand Astoria's endless creativity is akin to the likes of Caustic Casanova and King Gizzard.

Bandcamp

Pressor/Diazepam/Soom - Split

A perfectly filthy split of doomed sludge. Pressor flattens all in its path with ten ton riffs, Diazepam brings utter madness with sickly distortion and paint peeling vocals, and Soom's plodding tone is so low it's subterranean.

Bandcamp

And do you remember, chalk hearts melting on the playground wall.. Errr.. Sorry, we meant, do you remember Megalith Levitation or Disen Gage ?! Both addictive and [addicted] as well!

Soom – Night On Meadow

Soom – Night On Meadow

Robust Fellow – 2014

Doom, Noise, Metal, Drone, Atmospheric

Rated: ***

Originally released two years ago the boys from Robust Fellow Productions thought it was about time to bring their home country band Soom back under everyone’s attention. Ukraine is their stomping ground and Kharkov their home town. And the three-piece bring forth some unholy noisy doom metal on Night On Meadow. Dark and evil sounding atmospheres inducing nightmarish visions. They go all out experimenting with lavish structures and weird electronic droning almost static waves of clamor; with excess cymbal use and floating vocals, tracks like The Stone soon become this oppressive blanket that doesn’t sooth or keep you warm but in fact chills your bones. The effect of all ten tracks is cumulative. It is a sound you can get used to. But only if you want your brain scraped. It gets into your teeth as well as your ears. It vibrates in the knot of nerves behind the breastbone and seems to eat at the damp and delicate tissue behind your eyes. Most of all though, it gets into your head, telling you that everything you’ve ever been afraid of, is waiting, just behind the next curve of the trail or that pile of tumbled rock, waiting, to snake out of its place and get you…
