Stone Future Hymns, by Indica

Stoner doom from Brisbane, Australia.

Slow dirty riffing from the land of killer spiders. With occult vocals and space sound. Follow the smoke to the riff-filled land.

Albino Rhino, by BoneHawk

Stoner/hard rock from Portage Township, Michigan, USA.

Hard rock full of flavour with just the right amount of fuzz so it's heavier but still catchy. Put this in your muscle car through the 70's and keep on rocking in the free world.

AND THEN RISE, by THE MOTH

Sludge doom metal from Hamburg, Germany.

I dare you to not headbang during the whole second track. Powerful as hell and borderline catchy thanks to the clean vocals.

Abracadabra, by Vismets

Psychedelic rock from Brussels, Belgium.

Tasty and promising 60′s inspired rock that will make you want to time-travel and hear the British Invasion from your own ears. Keep it on your radar.

Doom from Berlin, Germany.

Doom.

Stone Garage, by Stone Garage

Stoner rock from Russia.

There’s something with Russia and stoner rock. Also, nice Alfons Mucha inspired cover art. I believed I would see a real stone-made garage, but no. This record features saxophone, and it works well with stoner.

Underground, by Trippy Wicked & the Cosmic Children of the Knight

Stoner sludge doom from UK.

The first thing that hit me is the punch in the guitars’ sound. Spot on. Slow pace and sweet arrangements makes this record stand out.

Paura Della Luce, by Marmore

Instrumental math rock from Torino, Italy.

Not too fucked up math rock. Would serve as a good gateway to more chaotic stuff for beginners. They have a nice warm feel that more chaotic acts lack.

The Simplicity of the Riff is Key, by Grifter

Southern stoner rock from Plymouth, UK.

Black Sabbath meets ZZ Top. Hand meets bang. Horns meet up. Groove meets groove, and rock meets roll.

Pothead, by Yawning Man

Instrumental desert rock from Palm Desert, California, USA.

If you don’t know who’s Yawning Man and you love desert rock, then sit tight. Here’s the blurb from Bandcamp:

“Yawning Man, who hail from the arid desert area of Southern California, have been playing, jamming, and recording since 1986, and are a highly influential band. Most of their fans and those heavily influenced by them consider them to be 'the originators' of the entire “Desert Rock” movement/genre, and their influence has reigned far and wide across the globe.”

Memoria, by Triangle B.

Experimental progressive sludge metal from Moscow, Russia.

You’re in for a ride. Aggressive and energetic music for punching things.
