Top 10 Most Listened Albums Last Week…


Stone Deaf
Terminus
Tremonti
Green Lung
Outram

EarthOmen
Bastards of God’s Grace
Duck Paw

We’re still completely sucked into the rent paying side of things. Leaving us with little time to HiVe or do much fun stuff. And it looks like this will continue till end of September. But luckily we’ve got Shasta Beast and Reek of STOOM and perhaps even Doktor420 to come to rescue! Grin… And luckily we can still listen to all that good stuff being released daily! Like the new Stone Deaf record Killers, which is, err, killer! Or the Terminus album The Silent Bell Toll, one of my absolute favorites of the year! The new Tremonti album Marching In Time, Tremonti always delivers that laser precision guitar metal! And spinning since the record came in: Black Harvest by Green Lung. Man! This will once again do well with everyone, even though it’s damn different in regards to Woodland Rites, it is also damn freaking good! And there are so many more, be sure to check’m out! Check’m all out!

Stone Deaf - Killers


Stone Deaf - Killers
Coffin & Bolt Records - August 2020
Stoner, desert, punk
Rated: ****

Colorado's Stone Deaf return with their potent mix of stoner and punk on third full length Killers, due out August 14. Wearing their early QOTSA influences on their sleeves, the trio amp up the energy of their desert vibes with a sneering swagger and a healthy dose of weird. Opener "Cloven Hoof" comes out swinging with the group's secret weapon - crisp, driving drums a la "You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar...". A snappy, dizzying riff combines with venomous vocals, before morphing into a maddeningly catchy chorus. "Death Ray" is a particular highlight, starting off with tongue-in-cheek haunted house effects, that somehow fit perfectly with the swinging drums and vocals to make for a stylish groove. A surfy solo with Eastern melodies is even thrown into the mix, and it  feels just right. A sneak peek is then given into the slightly snotty vocals' inspiration, with an excellent cover of Violent Femme's "Gone Daddy Gone". Beefed up with thick distortion and harsh dual vocals, it's a winning take on a classic. More twists and turns are found throughout the rest of Killers, particularly the metallic, doomed stomp of slow burn epic "Snake Oil". A well-placed departure from the toe-tapping grooves of the rest of the record, it proves Stone Deaf to be a skilled chameleon of heavy. As essential as QOTSA is to the sound of Killers, the trio's varied and mischievous sound more than shines through, making for an album of infectious energy and surprises around every corner.
