Sun Eater - s/t

Posted by Captain Beyond Zen on Monday, April 16, 2012



Bio:

"Sun Eater is a psychedelic stoner trio from Tacoma, WA. Comprised of three college students between the ages of 19 and 20, Sun Eater is bringing a fresh sound to the psych rock genre with an emphasis on heavy riffs, intense guitar solos and quality. Founded in the Fall of 2011 by Ben Block and Kirby Lochner, they soon picked up Daniel Salas on the drums and the band has been the same ever since. With diverse musical backgrounds between the three members, Sun Eater is sure to turn heads with a strong, new sound. Working hard in the basement for the past six months they are finally ready to release their first debut EP, recorded at the band's home in Washington state. All the tracks are live takes, so what you hear is what you get, making this EP that much more impressive."

Sun Eater is an awesome band of three young and very talented guys. Now, these dudes decided to crawl out from the basement to say "hello" to the world. And they do it the right way, on the spur of the moment, with this very impressive and intense piece of music. I wish many young people would greet the people out there in this way. For those about to heavy psych, I salute you too! Salute!

Stubb - s/t

Posted by Captain Beyond Zen on Monday, April 9, 2012


"Stubb build on the foundations laid down by the pioneers of the 60s and 70s and continue the journey of the power trio through the 21st Century. Psychedelic sounds, blues rock and frantic solos are fused together as Stubb create classic heavy rock and roll songs." bandcamp

Conan - Monnos

Posted by Captain Beyond Zen on


Bio via CONAN website

"Conan are as heavy as interplanetary thunder amplified through the roaring black hole anus of Azathoth. A three piece, in the grand tradition of many amazing fabulous three pieces that hold a tight line and an iron-grip command over the uber-synchronised chord changes and tempo-shifts of the holy trio of bass, drums and guitar. Two men have the task of vocalising wretched thoughts over the turgid weight of Conan. They bear it well, for the task is immense.
Way back, in 2006, Conan formed as a two piece. The years dragged by, fellow warriors came and went, and now they are three – Jon Davis on guitar and vocals, Phil Coumbe on bass and vocals and Paul O’Neil on drums. Collectively their plans are clear: they seek nothing less than the crushing of a million skulls.

They have committed their filthy, ocean-sized sound to wax (and the slightly less cvlt compact disc) twice thus far- with more fetid output always on the horizon. First came the hulking mass of debut album Horseback Battle Hammer (Throne, Aurora Borealis), followed by a split with like-minded sludge-lords, Slomatics (Head of Crom, Burning World). In December 2011 Conan returned to the remote wilderness of Foel Studio, Wales and into the capable hands of producer Chris Fielding for their next album which is to be released on Burning World Records in Spring 2012.

Hear the roar of battle. Smell the stench of split blood. A thousand heads piled high like a grim mound of suffering- a blasphemy to nature. Hail Conan!" - http://www.hailconan.com/bio

Headliner for STONED HAND OF DOOM 2012: ORANGE GOBLIN from London! A Eulogy for the Damned is the new record: their seventh album. Seven, as the capital sins and the SHOD editions. 15 years have passed since the debut Frequencies from Planet Ten. Inspired by the gods of hard rock, heavy metal, punk rock and underground extremity, from Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Thin Lizzy through to Celtic Frost and Black Flag, Orange Goblin are an ass-shakin’ mix of vintage and modern heavy music. A lean, mean hard rockin’ machine… The eight-legged tag team of frontman Ben Ward, bassist Martyn Millard, guitarist Joe Hoare and drummer Chris Turner have reached a new peak of creativity and one-two-fuck-you intensity on A Eulogy for the Damned. The new album deftly encapsulates everything that is exhilarating and admirable about this most dedicated and humble of British metal wrecking crews and that deserves to propel Orange Goblin to the front of the British metal queue. They’re back and the party is starting all over again. Whose round is it?

An obscure, dark and heavy mammoth, DOOMRAISER is a fluid and oblique groovy machine. Mountains of Madness is their third opus, a mix of fat riffs, massive drumming, powerful bass lines and killing vocals. An unholy invocation of gritty, sprawling psycho doom.
From dark and pale seashores comes L’IMPERO DELLE OMBRE, a black ensemble mixing 70’s and early 80’s dark sound, with rich, vintage keyboard-driven songs, intricate melodies and a fair amount of heavy & prog guitars. Their cemetery rock is the ideal soundtrack of any gothic horror movie. I compagni di Baal is a trip though 30 years of Italian metal & dark sound.

From Bergamo the drug rockers EL-THULE offer their cool stoned Seventies rock'n'roll mixed with punk, rough desert sound and hypnotic tradition. Zenit is their 3rd album, a concept based on the ancient legends that gave name to the stars and about the re-discovery of the union between world - human - life.
Stoner, stoner and stoner again with GANDHI’S GUNN. Considered a point of reference on the Italian scene after their full-length debut Thirtyeahs, the band from Genoa has a hard, strong impact inspired by the forcible sound of the first American heavy psych undercurrent, such as Corrosion of Conformity, Fu Manchu and Clutch, while frequently exploring more visionary and acid territories.

Heavy progressive doom from Florence, FUNERAL MARMOORI recorded their first album Vol. 1 released by BloodRock Records. Their obscure and gloomy sound is like Lorenzo Lamas riding an evil machinery in the garden of doom!

From Sardinia, BLACK CAPRICORN is a beast formed in 2008 as a power trio. With M. Toro, emperor Claudio, and the final add of the killer solos of Lord Fex, the codex was written. The result is a bunch of witches and damned prophets, disciples of the apocalypse playing heavy & satanicus stoner doom.

CARONTE from Parma offers an acid ethereal doom, their lyrics are focused on esoteric themes and occultism, and profoundly inspired by the works of Aleister Crowley. Say Amen!

From Rome, the new sensation of the Eternal City music scene: THE WISDOOM. A stoner doom four-pieces killing elite, strongly influenced by noise and psychedelic rock. In the criminal werewolf we trust!
