Spaceship Landing - Spaceship Landing (2005)

Named after a Kyuss song, Spaceship Landing is a german stoner/psychedelic/70’s inspired rock band. Their 2006 self-titled and self-financed lp is truly impressive. The instrumental sounds just huge, dominating the vocals. On some songs the sound is completed by keyboards/organs and spacecraft beeps. -last.fm

Review on Lords Of Metal.

Fantastic stuff, thick psychedelic grooves all over the place. Too bad this great band split up a while ago...

*Special thanks to Kaffkrieger for sharing this hard to find gem!

Rocket Chief - Rise Of The Machine (2010)

Dirty hot stoner rock 'n roll, just the way you like it.

'The debut RISE OF THE MACHINE (Release: 16.04.2010 on Fastball Music) by German five-piece band ROCKETCHIEF sets the standards for rough rock music in the new decade. Burning reminiscences from times when rock..n..roll was still young and steaming were the basis for 13 songs full of dusty sharp riffs, original psychedelic-licks and energetic headbanging. This record is alive and kicking, catchy as hell. When listening to the record, singer Freddy..s whiskey-soaked vocals are going straight into your ears. You can describe Rocketchief..s sound as "modern vintage" – Rocketchief are honest, direct and down to earth. In other words: you can hear real people playing real instruments and having a good time. And guitarist Stephan Galls who is an experienced musician (he was playing with the death metal band Misery Speaks,etc.)is not the only one who is responsible for the brilliant songwriting. Besides songs you can dance and mosh to the album offers smooth blues parts as well as "rolling stoner-avalanches". "RISE OF THE MACHINE“ will rock its way into the hearts of fans of Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Gluecifer, Volbeat, Down and QOTSA.'

Völva - Völva (2010)

Völva plays a vintage style of stoner/doom mixed with some deep psyschedelic elements. Heavy, downtuned Sabbathian riffs, occasionally with sludgy vocals in the likes of Eyehategod/ Weedeater. The lengthy last track (18 minutes) really smoked my brain with instrumentals reminicient of the hypnotic driven OM vibe. Aside from the great influences, Völva crafted a really honest & true sound. So go ahead & check out what Iceland has to offer with this piece of gloomy doom, you won't be disappointed..

Demonic Death Judge - Kneel (2010)

Send to me by Lauri, from the mighty 'Demonic Death Judge'. These Finnish guys know how to play raw straight-forward stoner/sludge. Actually there is more too it, the second song 'Beneath The Monument' drags you in a psychedelic Ufomammut-like bliss, some great original/ progressive parts in there (the last track 'Carlyle' is a winner with a hidden Led Zeppelin cover). Speaking of the Italian psyched-out doom legends, DDJ performs with them in Finland in a couple of days (see Myspace). Overall this is a great solid 6-track EP, packed with great influences (Electric Wizard, Eyehategod, Iron Monkey, Ufomammut,..).

Dead Commuter - Tendrils (2009)

Another band request (& more to follow), by Paul from 'Dead Commuter'. Raw US post-sludge duo with an atmospheric touch.

'…the duo plays weighty epics and in an age of three-four-minute grab-and-go tunes in most bands arsenals…DC’s hefty Neurosis/Sabbath/Botch influenced brawn requires that you give the band your full attention so that you can fully absorb how slot A fits neatly into slot W, then spirals back to match up with slot F and Q before everything lands squarely on the ground with a nerve shattering primal grunt…Dead Commuter plays brainy but uncompromisingly visceral music and approaching it without an open mind (or the ability to comprehend its circuitious emotional journey) is not advised. -last.fm
