Earthless - Live at Roadburn

Lovingly pinched from StonerRock.com: The trick of free-flowing instrumental jams is keeping it interesting for long stretches of time. If there’s a group currently out there that knows this better than Earthless, I’d like to know who it is. From my vantage point, Earthless is the cream of the psychedelic rock crop, and while that opinion was solidified well before I heard Live at Roadburn, the San Diego-based band’s latest reinforced that feeling tenfold.

This two CD/LP release, recorded live and without any overdubs at this year’s (2009 -ed) prestigious Roadburn Festival (You don’t know about this? What are you, dense?), may take awhile to get going, but once it does, the band’s impossible to stop.

Album of the day: Harvey Milk – S/T

Posted on Monday, February 1st, 2010

Lovingly pinched from StonerRock.com: I’ve gone over my history with Harvey Milk in greater detail before, but for context’s sake, the condensed version is thus: Once upon a time, I was a no-nothing mainstream metalhead who had grown tired of the crap I listened to. Then I discovered Harvey Milk ...read more

Album of the day: Zoroaster – Voice of Saturn

Posted on Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Stonerrock.com: The last time fans of all things heavy heard from Zoroaster was on the widely acclaimed Dog Magic, which showcased the Southern-friend sludge trio’s oppressive density, their occasional forays into the realm of experimentation, and an ability to lock into a nasty groove for prolonged periods ...read more

Album of the day: Ararat – Musica de la Resistencia

Posted on Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Stonerrock.com: Even looking at the two titles with which he’s chosen to represent his first solo outing apart from Los Natas, it’s plain to see Sergio Chotsourian is working to reconcile two sides of himself.
For a band moniker, he’s chosen Ararat, the highest mountain in and national ...read more

Lovingly pinched by Stonerrock.com: This six piece band out of Holland delivers a sophisticated and layered album that is taking the world by..a tsunami of stage blood!

Album of the day: OM – God Is Good

Posted on Monday, September 7th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Stonerrock.com: It’s irrational, I know, but when a band I like loses half of its original members, I tend to get a little worried. It’s not as if there’s a proven mathematical formula that separates creative from uncreative, good from bad, but after a certain point, I ...read more

Album of the day: The Gates of Slumber – Hymns of Blood and Thunder

Posted on Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from our friends at Stonerrock.com: If The Gates of Slumber’s sophomore album, Suffer No Guilt, proved they could write undeniably great songs and follow-up Conqueror showed they were able to write a consistent album, Hymns of Blood and Thunder demonstrates they can do both at the same time.
What ...read more

Album of the day: Abramis Brama – Smakar Sondag

Posted on Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Stonerrock.com: In many ways, Abramis Brama is the crazy old uncle of the Swedish retro rock scene. Most people will place Witchcraft at the top of the heap, assuming they kicked the whole sub-genre off. But Abramis has been at it just a little longer and yet ...read more

Posted on Monday, August 10th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Stonerrock.com: Quietly issued while everyone’s back was turned and intended as a stopgap to sate those eagerly awaiting the material recorded at Duna Jam in Sardinia, the new live record from Deutsche heavy psych magnates Colour Haze — appropriately titled Burg Herzberg Festival 18.Juli 2008 — captures ...read more

Album of the day: Harvestman – In a Dark Tongue

Posted on Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Stonerrock.com: If the creative purpose behind Neurosis is a distillation and that of the solo material guitarist / vocalist Steve Von Till releases under his own name is a reverential composition, then the noise-laden drone and effects of Harvestman can really only be a deconstruction.
Though the songs ...read more
