Zolfo - "Decomposition Is The Cure" T-Shirt - Spikerot.com Exclusive

Are they glam? Are they metal? Stoner rock? Psych? Prog? For over a decade, people have been trying to pin down Glitter Wizard but this San Francisco band refuses to be pigeonholed. Pulling influences from the entire heavy rock canon, G Wiz combines scorching guitar riffs and spaced out synths to creates something familiar, yet entirely new and weird. Their latest album, Opera Villains, brings the heat that we've come to expect from the band but adds a layer of dramatism that we haven't heard before.

Violet Cold is one-man studio project from Azerbaijan started by Emin Guliyev in 2013.

kOsmik draws influence from so many different genres, starting off with pure post-rock in the vein of Lights Out Asia and other US references, slowly guitars become sharper and sharper, blackgaze and post-black metal kick in, and kOsmik takes off and simply leaves this planet. The succession between genres is natural and smooth, and the final track, a rearrangement of Bach's Air from the orchestral suite no. 3 in D major BWV 1068, feels a weird yet perfect conclusion to the Azeri's journey. 

Avantgarde Music is pleased to release the physical edition of kOsmik, which was originally published digitally earlier this year.

You can almost smell the weed, the blood, and the sweat as DUEL Live At The Electric Church takes you on a tripped out journey to an old abandoned Spanish church turned DIY rock venue in East Austin, Texas USA.

The front door is locked....The entrance is around the backside of the old building where rowdy metalheads and stoners huddle around a small bonfire made mostly of trash.

Through the walls you can hear the thumping of a full on beer soaked high energy rock show.
Swirling psychedelic tones breaking into blistering riffs, and the relentless chugging and smashing as DUEL deals one sonically punishing blow after another.

Set for a release on January 25th 2019 via Heavy Psych Sounds, the 'Demos & Outtakes 98-02' will include 5 tracks that have never seen the light of day before (!!), alongside rare demos as well as cover songs such as the unique live version of Black Flag's 'Nervous Breakdown'! Beside these never published demos to date, the known tracks on this album are different to what NEBULA originally released on their previous records such as on 'Charged' or 'To The Center'. Some tracks were written and recorded in these sessions, some never made it on any of these or were used for B-sides and singles, and then we get songs such as 'Whalefinger' which has been the first song Eddie Glass ever wrote and which originally made it on a 7” B-side by Olivelawn, where Eddie has been playing drums for. 

Heavy Psych Sounds Records is reissuing first three albums of the Swedish legendary band Dozer: In The Tail Of A Comet, Madre De Dios and Call It Conspiracy.
Three masterpieces of the European stoner scene. These three records elevated the scene to a higher level and gave Dozer the scepter of the Scandinavian stoner movement.

In the post-Kyuss era, Dozer, along with bands like Los Natas and Acid King, brought a flurry of pure, desert-style monolithic riffs and tons of fuzz guitars.

The band had a very big influence on the European stoner bands and we can definitely say Dozer are one of the European stoner godfathers.

The reissues will be released in a bunch of very special coloured vinyl editions, a unique opportunity to have these records on vinyl.

PENTAGRAM's fourth studio album "Review Your Choices" marked the band's sixth comeback after several changes of line-up and label.
Main-man and singer Bobby Liebling has kept his band alive for over 35 years now and might easily be awarded the title of "longest serving cult band" – highly acclaimed by fans, press and fellow musicians alike.

"Review Your Choices" marked the return of multi-instrumentalist Joe Hasselvander to join Bobby Liebling in his eternal quest of creating the heaviest sound possible. The album features a mix of re-recorded lost Liebling tracks from the 70's and stellar new numbers penned by Hasselvander, which gave "Review Your Choices" an extra heavy feeling.

Dive down deep into gloom and despair with this classic Doom recording.

Norwegian metal stalwarts VREID pay tribute to their homeland with their epic new full-length, ‘Wild North West'.
Inspired by both true events and pure imagination, the album takes the listener on a whirlwind of a journey, diving deep into themes of war, fear, betrayal, loss, anxiety, and madness with thought-provoking lyrics that embody human nature.

It captures the Nordic heart at the core of their sound, taking cues from Norway’s rugged landscape as it ricochets between eternal darkness and the solace of bracing light.
For fans of WINDIR, KAMPFAR, COR SCORPII.

Undoubtedly, this is the one of the most awaited albums and brilliant releases on the Russian metal scene.
The triumphant comeback of the famous pagan doom death metal band Amber Tears at the borderline of the retreat of winter and the awakening of nature emphasizes the album concept of emerging human experiences with nature.
The breath of the northern forests is already filled with the ritual sounds of drums, while melodious guitar parts echo the crow cries.
When the past holds you for a long time and does not let you go, when you are not sure if you want changes to happen, you freeze between winter and spring ...

Black Rainbows are back with a brand new album!
This time they are delivering 12 new and fresh tunes.
“Cosmic Ritual Supertrip” has a monolithic force; guitars, drums and bass are all glued together to give the listener a punch in the face!
This album gets its magic power from mixing together a 70’s attitude with a doom-occult and stoner rock sound in a masterful way.
We can count a bunch of singles, such as “Isolation” and “Master Rocket Power Blast”, as well as a couple of doomy songs like “Universal Phase” and “Saacred Graal” and also more catchy tunes like “Radio 666” and “At Midnight You Cry”.

This is the 8th album of the band and we believe the best one so far.
The amazing artwork, made by the one and only Robin Gnista, is matching in its entirety the album music concept.
