It’s Tuesday already… I know. Shit went to the crapper again over here. Rent paying work, family stuff, you know the deal. And it won’t be flushed for day or two. But here’s the glance back at last week. And if you weren’t there on Friday you could still head on back and listen to all those bands mentioned on the Quick Fire Friday segment or read any of the two amazing write-up’s Ronny delivered. He wrote something about the cool Rückwater and the funky Eight Foot Manchild. And how can we not profess our love for Planet Desert Rock Weekend, that amazing festival in Las Vegas in January 2025. Or the magic that comes to the Amsterdam stages through Love For Loud. Cause live music is the good shit!

Another week in the books and another one that lead me away from doing Stoner HiVe work… Unfortunately… But we all know the deal. The rent has to be payed. Still, we managed to do some Stoner HiVe fun early on in the week. With a slightly bigger version of the Doom Charts blurb for Tigers On Opium and later on the same deal for Skraeckoedlan. We published the Stoner Hype post with blurbs for the Numbers 40 to 26 of the March Doom Charts. And we reviewed Empty Frame, Eat Your Own Head and Robot God. So, I guess not a completely wasted week in the Heavy Underground. We hope to do more this week! Enjoy yours and check out the ten great releases in the list on top!

Konkurrent/Sacred Bones – 2018

Metal, Doom, Sludge

Rated: ***

As the few of you crazies that take the time to read the HiVe stuff every now and again know, I’m not a huge fan of the endless guttural growling. Those death grunts and screeches need to be offset for me by something more melodic and cleaner. Otherwise that snarling barrage grates on my soul a bit too much. Thou refuses to bed me with that fact and rightfully so. Cause on their new album Magus, the composition and music are so pitch black, aggressive and gloomy that this would feel completely out of place. This is meant to wear you down, to crush you beneath the waves of concrete riffs and pounding weight. And yet, there is something almost romantic hidden among all this aggression and hate. The way an outsider might carry the weight of the world around on its shoulders. Searching inwards for whatever revelation might save the human spirit. Magus is that guy on the park bench, troubled forlorn look in his eyes due to the wisdom in his heart…
