Suncraft – Welcome to the Coven (2025) – Review

Suncraft - Welcome to the Coven - Album Cover

Unctuous stonerware was oozing out of our loudspeakers back in 2021. Suncraft was the outfit’s name, a band totally unknown to the RMR crew. And for cause. Flat Earth Rider, their debut album, sounded like something concocted in one of Cirkus Prütz‘ abandoned giant tents in cahoots with some hidden weed producer. Allegedly. And that gave us hope for moar of that good ol’ bluesy stoner sound. Much moar and blended with harsher soundbites whenever the occasion required it.

Suncraft just returned to the stage with their sophomore piece, Welcome to the Coven. But wait, what? Where … [...] Click to raid more!

Now, this time, this ain’t happening. Launch pads are ready yet again, and the wow-signals from the Oort Cloud or something are firing up the juices of them space crews. A lot is going on in the sparsely populated vacuum, and we’re wondering if Entanglement[...] Click to raid more!

Triumvirat – Spartacus (1975) – Review

Triumvirat - Spartacus - Album Cover

1975 was an outstanding year for early Progressive Rock. A fledgling style that often came with wildly psychedelic urges bestowed on those bands by abundant use of – whatever substance happened to cross their paths.

Fancy a few examples of records that burnt themselves into our young souls back then? The Alan Parsons Project‘s unwieldily named record Tales of Mystery and Imagination1 surely got a lot of our attention. A piece well ahead of the progressive high times, issued before their offerings became a tad more mainstream. But I digress. Jethro Tull just released their 8th record, Minstrel [...] Click to raid more!
