We were honored to receive a full (unfinished) chapter of the soon to be finished book by Sunil Singh called Sonic Seducer, an infectious read that immediately had me grabbing for my Monster Magnet albums as well as Kyuss. If his Math books are this riveting and cool, I think I might need to get me those, a calculator and run some numbers! As for the week that's just started, we hope to publish a review or two, before Friday. But we're kinda under the weather and have other assingments as well... So, no promise there. But as said, I think we can do one or two... We have to, it's what makes us tick...

Slog – Divination

 

Slog – Divination
Morbid and Miserable Records – 2023
Metal, Death, Black, Doom
Rated: ***

That slow ohm beginning will turn into a forceful gale and by the time those malevolent vocalized grunts hit, the sound will crush like a gigantic invisible hand waiting for the moment to put that final squeeze on you. Heavier than ever, it’s the new eight track album Divination by two piece blackened death doom metal outfit Slog. Straight out of Toledo, Ohio these two know how to cast that boiling black cloud that smothers and suffocates. Soon, the atmosphere will turn as darker than the blackest treacle and you feel it all hanging directly above you like some baleful portent. And that dreadful feeling of impending disaster will not let you go. Angry and grimy like a skeletal hand protruding from the earth, dragging you down. The due consisting of Jared Moran (drums and vocals) and Nicholas Turner (guitars and bass) who you might know from outfits like Yzordderrex, Filtheater, and 54R while Turner is known for his work in Nothing Is Real, Moldering Vibration, and Schizochristo. Or their earlier team projects, Psionic Madness, Acausal Intrusion, Feral Lord, and others. Blacker, bleaker, and bleaching, it will wipe everything off the board…

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday

 

 

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday

We love Friday’s! As we mentioned before. And now we even get to continue the run-down of the November Doom Charts! We love spinning all of them in a row once again. But, it will have to wait another hour or so. Cause well, it is Friday… And you know what that means!? It’s Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday time! A few lines about some stuff we got sent and dug! Dug a lot or felt we had to share with you all! For there is so much good and heavy music being released every day! And we know, we know, the albums and bands deserve more than the few words we will jot down here. More attention and more of our time! But there is so much out there and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!

 

Domo – Aldorassa

We’ve been honored to host a few premieres for Spinda Records. The last one was Santo Rostro from that awesome many singled project about the Spanish underground Spinda Records was releasing. Well, they just put up the new Domo single Aldorassa. And we all love Domo! Their heavy progressive psychedelic sound is exactly what one needs… On a daily basis!

The Ghost Of Fu Kang Walker – Where Wolves and Wiccans Roam

'Introducing The Ghost of Fu Kang Walker; a not-so-straight-forward vintage rock/fantasy metal band from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. With an official Birthday of Halloween Weekend, 2021, and a shelf life that is sure to span eternity, The Ghost of Fu Kang Walker invites you to listen to their first song - Where Wolves and Wiccans Roam.' We stole those lines from their Soundcloud page. And assume; that we are allowed to share the track with everybody out there. It makes me think of many things, but mostly Kung Foo, Chuck Norris and a multifunctional baby walker… Because well that's just me...

Blue Heron – Black Blood Of The Earth

We had been listening to the awesome two-track Black Blood Of The Earth release by Blue Heron for a while before the Red Lead PR guy, and member of the band, sent over a PR-mail. “Blue Heron is a four-piece band from New Mexico creating our own mix of authentic desert rock blended with elements of doom, stoner metal, and heavy psych.” It is. But the two track starts out very sludgy, intense and swampy before the vocalist’s second voice hits. Which immediately goes into Alain Johannes territory; opening up all the senses. Which are quickly mashed into a pulp again by all that doom, all that sludge and all that metal! And all that’s good! It fits. Thow two voices; but personally I dig the clean version more…

Waste A Saint – The Healer

I am intrigued. Recently signed to the All Good Clean Records label from Norway, is fourpiece Waste A Saint. Waste A Saint plays fuzzed out hardrock, balancing aggression and sunburnt feelgood in an intense dance between influences from the 60s and 70s music and the heavy footprint of the stoner era. Well, the new single The Healer delivers all that on all fronts. But it’s the other influences that really draw you in; those drums, that voice and that guitar… That voice... Trondheim… I am intrigued!

Slog – Graves

Death Doom from Toledo, Ohio. Out on Morbid And Miserable Records, it’s the new album Graves by two piece Slog. A new project by the Nothing Is Real dude. Morose, slow, slog, bog and dark. There is nothing here for anyone looking for a moment of light, hope or peace. This just gets blacker, bleaker and will turn every mind into one that is at the end of its tether…

Baron Crâne – Les Beaux Jours

We’ve always been a fan of those three crazy Parisians! Indeed, we mean Baron Crâne! And they released their seven track Les Beaux Jours album already back in October through Mrs. Red Sound. Even more jazzy, even more fusion, even more progressive than all those releases they did before this will demand a bit of extra will to get high to. Well, until that African hypnotism starts!
