THTX – The Flickering Sky (2009)

2009 psychedelic rock space rock THTX USA 2 Comments

“Partially inviting other musicians THTX is a duo project basically formed by guitarist Matthew Smith and percussionist Kerry Gluckman – a jam band with roots in psychedelic and space rock. Both are interested in other genres too which is noticeable here and there. They first met in 2001 at a party in Detroit, soon started to jam together and subsequently recorded a series of eight CDR’s. Their sessions were starting without any preconditions – it is said that even no discussions about the musical direction are allowed. The result manifests in space jams predominantly – but there are avantgarde styled songs too with free jazz leanings where multi-instrumentalist Matthew Smith also plays trumpet, organ and bass… THTX is recommended to fans of rough unpolished spaced out jam music.”

Serpentina Satélite – Nothing to Say (2008)

2008 Peru psychedelic rock Serpentina Satélite space rock 2 Comments

“The band was formed by the end of 2003 in Lima/Peru by Aldo Castillejos (drums), Felix Dextre (bass) plus guitarists Dolmo and Renato Gomez. SERPENTINA SATELITE stands for a krautrock influenced sound oscillating among improvised space rock jams and wild, raw psychedelic elements similar to their fellow countrymen LA IRA DE DIOS. The music is instrumental predominantly, even though Flavio Castillejos joined. He is responsible for poetry and voice whereas his contributions are more like recitative… SERPENTINA SATELITE shouldn’t be missed by space respectively kraut fans but is also interesting for lovers of heavy psych and even stoner rock.”

Südstern 44 – The Dampfwalze (2006)

2006 Germany psychedelic rock space rock Südstern 44 No Comments

“This is a 70-minute-long, psychedelic jam session featuring members of Zone Six and Weltraumstaunen. This CD-R really has only one, really long track of improvised music played with two guitars, bass and drums recorded in 2004. The track begins with a really psychedelic, laid-back and bubbling delay guitar that soon changes into heavy psych/acid guitar jam feast. The musicians jam very tightly without any sing of getting tired or bored and the end result sounds at times like a cross-breeding of Bevis Frond and Marble Sheep… The atmosphere is rather 70’s styled.”

Sesiones Ácidas – Espacio Negativo (2008)

2008 psychedelic rock Sesiones Ácidas Spain 2 Comments

“We are a collective and independent non profit record label. Our only goal is to shake consciences with sonic artifacts of psychedelic nature. Our releases will be the result of the collaboration between musicians in the one and only moment: a musical blast. Our first release is “Sesiones Ácidas – Espacio Negativo”. This time the musicians who got together are members of such recognized outfits like ORTHODOX, VIAJE A 800 and MATER DRONIC: Marco (Orthodox) on bass, both David (Viaje A 800) and Borja (Orthodox) on the double drumset and J.C. Sisto (Mater Dronic) on guitar. The outcome is almost sixty minutes of improvised sonic mayhem in the best heavy psych tradition.”

Manthra Dei – Manthra Dei (2010)

2010 Italy Manthra Dei psychedelic rock stoner rock 1 Comment

“Manthra Dei are an Italian band. These guys love to jam, mix up Allman Brothers Band with Black Sabbath and you get a feel for what “Der Waldgung” is about. “The Mute Machine” is a far-out psychedelic tribute to Jimi Hendrix, with his influences explored throughout the song with the Band Of Gypsys‘ “Machine Gun” used as the song’s theme. No vocals whatsoever, just pure guitar-driven rock with different textures and tempos every two minutes. Everything is aligned just right, guitar solos communicate with each other as the bass and drums lock things down. Light up the lava lamp and the prime weekend week, and soak up the sounds.”

Domo – Domo (2010)

2010 Domo psychedelic rock Spain stoner rock 1 Comment

“Domo is formed in January of 2010 after the dissolution of other projects and with the purpose of killing the thirst for experimentation and to liberate the dosage of adrenaline of its band members. Practising psycodelic and electrifying rock Domo builts its foundations on experimentation and psycodelia using the clasic structures of the 70’s Hard Rock as a starting point… Domo brought out their first homonymous album in August of 2010, an album full of lysergic sounds and a large dosage of experimentation, and are right now emmerged in the creation of new songs for a future album, which we hope, will see the light of day in a near future.”

The :Egocentrics – Love Fear Choices And Astronauts (2010)

2010 Romania stoner rock The :Egocentrics 4 Comments

“The music is an intense, heavy epic build-up of spacey structures and timbre explorations with a solid back-bone, slightly “metallic”. In order to balance this side of the music, a dynamic quality coming from tendencies towards improvisation, ambient and jazz provides relief and flavour. A lot of genres tags can be invoked, such as stoner rock, psychedelic rock, post-metal and jam band, but the best way to describe the range of influences and similarities of the superb and eclectic musical bouquet would be to quote the bands confessed interest in MOTORPSYCHO, CAUSA SUI, COLOUR HAZE, BRANT BJORK, JIMI HENDRIX, 35007, MONKEY3, CAPTAIN BEYOND, CAMEL, KING CRIMSON or NEUROSIS.”

The Machine – Solar Corona (2009)

2009 Netherlands psychedelic rock stoner rock The Machine 4 Comments

“In September 2006, a three-piece ensemble with heavy enthusiasm for stoner coloured psychedelic rock necessarily came from Netherland – called The MACHINE. Their soundscape are much influenced by various artists – from 60s psychedelic jam bands or early 70s rock pioneers like Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, Pink Floyd or Black Sabbath, to recent stoner-psychedelic developer like Kyuss, Sleep or Colour Haze.”

Tia Carrera – Heaven / Hell (2007)

2007 stoner rock Tia Carrera USA 5 Comments

“Music that takes the listener on a major drug trip. The opiate daze in the guitar lines, the sedative drift of the drum rolls, and the tranquilizing haze of the bass wells all ring with stoner rock keys and a flying kite-like carpet ride. The band has been compared to Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath but they have a Southern rock intonation in their chord ruminations more aligned with the Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead, and Widespread Panic.”

Titan – Pilzmarmelade (2006)

2006 psychedelic rock space rock Titan USA 2 Comments

“TITAN are a quartet from New York. They started out as an improvised stoner rock band, but years later they got interested and influenced by 70’s progressive rock… Their sound is like a time machine into the 70’s filled with jams, freak outs, bombastic organs, motorik bass lines and fuzzed guitars… The band draws influences from many 70’s prog acts unlike most stoner rock or retro bands that focus more on the hard rock bands from that era. Bands like HAWKWIND, MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, ASH RA TEMPLE, CAN, COMUS, NEU!, PINK FLOYD, IRON BUTTERFLY, RUSH, BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE and BLUE CHEER are some of their biggest influences.”
