Do you like your rock served together with a whiskey – well – on the rocks? Down by the bayou, sitting on the porch? Rocking chair and all? New Orleans style?

There ya go! You may want to check out Vinyl Hero. Crunchy, scratchy, somewhat jazzy, and bluesy rock seemingly blowing over from times long past.

Only, they ain’t near any bayou, they dwell in Montréal up in Canada of all places. But never fear, this band crunches about that gravel path of theirs like there is no tomorrow. In a way, they sound something like a slow to mid-tempo, [...] Click to raid more!

The Eyes of Desolation just unleashed their newest EP Awake in Dead onto the unsuspecting [...] Click to raid more!

Refreshingly so and not for the faint at heart, with an energy that will not let you out of its clutches until the last note is squeezed out in the open.

The disk is perhaps a bit scratchy around the edges still and a tad repetitive, but getting there to the way such Black Metal concoctions with a Death Metal twist ought to [...] Click to raid more!

Gypsy Chief Goliath Citizens of Nowhere Album Cover

Ah, I am back in the ’70s or something!

Canadian stoner metallers Gypsy Chief Goliath are planning to unleash their third album Citizen of Nowhere later in 2016.

The band managed to recreate that unique sound. Stoner and Blues Rock, downturned sludgy Doom, and all of that with a deliciously metallic twist. Whereas we cannot really call their tune metal, nor should we. Right? To the point that I want to break out Easy Rider. But wait – the music on that one doesn’t really fit either. So, nope.

Now to produce this sound, the band went analog on a … [...] Click to raid more!
