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.”

Carlton Melton – Pass It On… (2010)

2010 Carlton Melton psychedelic rock USA 7 Comments

“Finally, a psychedelic band that successfully crosses generations, appealing equally to old school bong-bubblers, kinky krautrockers and the new school of psychedelic stooges. Can-style jams, trance-inducing drones and Ummagumma-era Pink Floyd ambiance may be the foundation here but these improv jams easily break from the tether of their influences and soar righteously through the stratosphere. Freak out.”

Smoking Spore – Conversations in D-Minor (2009)

2009 psychedelic rock Smoking Spore stoner rock USA 1 Comment

“The album contains the entire second jam session of Texas-based Smoking Spore, recorded live-in-studio… The four-piece instrumental band blends seventies-inspired psychedelia with modern ambience, Southern stoner grooves, and a healthy buffet of bizarre guitar effects… Smoking Spore skips, jumps, waddles, and trips their way through completely improvised psychedelic epics.”
