The Kings Of Frog Island - III (2010)














'II was in many respects a much more overtly stoner record than III. That being said, III is more subtle and developing of its diamond-in-the-rough stoner revelations. Starting life as a jam between drummer Roger Dodge Watson and guitarist Mark Buteux, this record is centred on a rock & roll rhythm trip. As such, youre slightly harder pressed for those emphatically prolonged stoner jaunts of old. The tracks More Than I Should Know and A Cruel Wind Blows have a sound contrary to previous output, but as ever, when it comes to crunch time, KOFI deliver. myspace.com/thekingsoffrogisland

The Kings return, sit back & enjoy the hazy trip..

Sleestak - Promo MP3's (2007-2008)














Requested by Matt from Sleestak, a great upcoming band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Psychedelic laden stoner/doom with a more experimental side, check it out!

'Formed in late 2003 with former members of Sixinch, Atomic Number 9, and Planet Delirium, Sleestak have become one of the midwest's most unique bands, gaining fans in the region and abroad with their metal/psychedelic fused doom rock. Sometimes labeled a "metal jam band", the band often delve into the bluesy realms of improvisation and embrace free-flowing instrumentals, taking the music into epic mind-altering depths. Through live demos and bootlegs over the past couple years, Sleestak have garnered radio play, media praise, and positive comparisons to Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Clutch, Monster Magnet, Isis, Colour Haze, The Melvins, Ten Years After, and other groups that thrive on experimentation, originality, and heaviness.'

Dragonauta - Cruz Invertida (2010)














New album from Argentina's 'Dragonauta'. Their best & most focused release yet, delivering huge riffs & evil psychedelica. Tends to slow down a bit on some songs, but overall this is a really tasty slab of occult stoner/doom..

Elodea - Voyager (2010)














Interesting experimental/ post-metal from Slovenia, this one was sent to my by Janus. Their sound could be placed somewhere between Neurosis & early Isis. Violent sludge riffs, pounding drums, atmospheric interludes,..

'Voyager is a sophomore album by the Slovenian post-metal doomsters Elodea, who have been around since the late nineties and still maintain their mysterious presence by peering out publicly only on rare occasions. After four years of waiting, they present us with their own vision of voyage in the quest of beauty, where light ceases to exist. In a way, it's a timeless anger-fuelled voyage through the super massive black hole they perfectly managed to capture in 5 songs unfolding to nearly an hour. The record features a guest appearance by Rennie Resmini of the highly respected and influential group Starkweather. '

CD version comes with a bonus track & is limited to 300 copies. A stream of the album can be found here.

Mother-Unit - Brain-Massage (2010)













'35007 co-founder and guitar player, Bertus Fridael, has now started a solo project called “Mother-Unit“. As the guitar player of 35007, Bertus was responsible for most of their typical guitar riffs and the heavy guitar sound that made 35007 famous. Their heavy wall of sound, long soundscapes and wild video shows were legendary. To keep the best tradition of instrumental rock music alive, he is now releasing a new album titled “ Brain-Massage”. The fingerprint he put on 35007 is also present on this new album.'

Dark Tooth Encounter - Soft Monsters (2008)














'The latest project from guitarist Gary Arce (Yawning Man/ Ten East) and the resulting soundscape is more experimental and dark this time around. From one central source, Arce creates a song by layering the guitar, keyboards and bass to set the vibe and along the way drummer Bill Stinson adds support with tribal drum patterns and heavy rock backbeats.
Sound engineer Mike Shear tweaks the sound and using creative sampling and sound manipulation creates an overall raw and ambient trance sound that is Dark Tooth Encounter.
Mario Lalli will play guitar on two tracks of the final recording.'
