Just as they did with their unexcitingly named 2010 debut, Vol. 1, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats dedicate their sophomore album, the following year's tellingly named Blood Lust, to celebrating the Summer of Love's soul-chilling autumn: a blasted landscape, post-flower power, resembling Altamont's killing fields, reeking of the Manson Family murders, and, naturally, sounding like a mish-mash of all of the apocalyptic musical forces that converged upon that era. We're talking a mixture of psychedelic rock's harrowing comedown, garage and punk rock's nihilistic ascent, and the earliest manifestations of heavy metal's occult-laced, nerve-damaging bludgeon (later reclassified as doom) - all poured into a deadly cocktail…

Grey Czar is a four-piece band from Salzburg Austria. A rocking beast of a band featuring guitars, bass, keys, drums and layered vocals from three voices. In their home (Austria) they are known for their powerful live performances and they shared the stage with acts like: Bilderbuch, Blood Red Shoes, Band Of Skulls, Primordial, Spirit Caravan, Daishi, and many more.

Equal parts psychedelic and psychotic, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats take listeners on another mind-melting, proto-metal journey on their trippy third outing, Mind Control. Every detail - from the sound that feels as influenced by the harmonies of the British Invasion as it is by the ominous blues of Black Sabbath, to the archival-looking album covers - helps to give the album the feel of some sort of forgotten gem rather than a modern invention. And while listeners might not find much in the way of innovation on a record like Mind Control, there's plenty of trance-inducing fun to be had, making it a must-listen for those who like to spend their days in the psychedelic end of the pool.

The fourth studio long player from the idiosyncratic English psych-rock/proto-metal unit, the Rise Above Records-issued Night Creeper was recorded at Toe Rag Studios in early 2015 with engineer Liam Watson (White Stripes, Tame Impala, Electric Wizard). Sabbathy, savage, and sordid, the ten-track set offers up a master class in doomy atmosphere and meaty hooks, with highlights arriving via viscera-exploding cuts like "Waiting for Blood," "Murder Nights," and "Slow Death."

Uncle Acid is on his way home. A disorientating journey through Kevin Starr's (aka Uncle Acid) wonkiest dreams, 'Wasteland' glides majestically from punchy and direct psych-rock anthems to the viscous. Recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound studio in Los Angeles, 'Wasteland' boasts the kind on irresistibly raw and exuberant sound that only the greatest bands can generate.

Stonila is a greek band established in 2015. They try to capture the sound of the olive tree leaves that fly to the rocky mountains.The myth talks about Ulysses sailing the Atlantic ocean but Stonila is real and they make a musical journey in missisipi's mud.

Canadian garage doom band The Hazytones will release their new LP, Monarchs of Oblivion, on October 5 via Ripple Music. The Montreal-based group, whose haunting, hooky sound has been called "Swedish-style stomp", delivers dark psych-metal, overflowing with stark mood and tempo changes, and haunting, double-tracked vocals that glide over the sinister songs. Monarchs of Oblivion is the follow-up to The Hazytones' 2017 self-titled debut, hailed as "totally new yet oddly recognizable"…

ATW is the latest album from All Them Witches, a Nashville psych-rock band that nods to Blue Cheer, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and all manner of Seventies rock, yet doesn't fall into the standard traps the ensnare much of the Deep Purple-worshipping masses and every bell-bottomed guitar player to ever hit a fuzz pedal. Across eight new tracks, All Them Witches dabble in Moody Blues-esque psychedelic pop, Zeppelin-tinged blues and riffy hard rock, all while still somehow managing to sound fresh and original. Check out the LP, which is due September 28th on New West Records.

Kingdom Come is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Sir Lord Baltimore, released on Mercury Records in 1970. It was reissued on PolyGram in 1994, on Red Fox in 2003, and on Anthology Recordings in 2007. The 1994 and 2003 re-releases also contained 1971's Sir Lord Baltimore, and were titled Kingdom Come/Sir Lord Baltimore. The re-release has a different track listing than the source material, transposing the original records' A- and B-sides. This compilation featured the same cover image used on Kingdom Come, only with that album's title removed.

Napalm Records have signed Stoned Jesus, which must mean they are the best but what else could be considered the best? Their album released in 2018 called Pilgrims. That is also reality.

Seven is the magic number. What’s more, this is about more than the number of days in the week or continents in the world - psychologists have theorised that the human memory’s ability to calibrate information on a short term basis is mostly limited to a sequence of this length. Thus, it seems strangely fitting that Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - the Newcastle-based maximalists whose riffs, raw power and rancour have blazed a trail across the darker quarters of the underground in the last five years, have made a second album in King Of Cowards which does its damnedest to take consciousness to its very limits.

KYUSS and FU MANCHU legend Brant Bjork is back with a brand new record. The godfather of desert rock has unveiled the hotly anticipated details about his thirteenth solo album, titled "Mankind Woman", set to be released September 14 on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

“Something Afoot In The Mistletoe” is the first track of ‘Through Wolves Teeth.’ The progression of just the intro of this song leaves me interested in the full sound of the album. The mix of a stoner/doom vibe and almost Queensryche vocals gives them a unique sound that has me hooked from the very first note. This song builds on a very thick foundation of groove and has a strong ending. We are then taken to the title track of the album- “Through Wolves Teeth” which kicks things up a notch! I feel as though I have rediscovered the feeling that I can recall from the first time I heard Mastodon’s album “Blood Mountain” The dynamics of this song gives me some insight into the vast pool of influences that they have. Getting heavy and then “pulling it back” at just the right times, showing the true experience and talent of these musicians. The doom style solos are very fitting, but also unexpected in the best of ways!

Phenomenal second studio disc by this outstanding instrumental heavy guitar rock band from Greece featuring the brilliant, prolific, axe-master skills and musical vision of Stavros Papadopoulos. Includes 10 tracks of mega-awesome, dynamic, blues-based, sonic guitar rock music that defies gravity and lands with world-class excellence. Picking up where the remarkable first disc left off, the Universal Hippies have produced an amazing instrumental heavy guitar rock musical document of epic proportions with the Evolution Of Karma disc.

Stone Oak Cosmonaut's 2018 double album contains great heavy stoner rock songs and long epic journeys way deep into the multiverse. The band sounds fresh and dynamic and very heavy. Spacey sounds galore. We guess they grew up on a mixture of Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Motörhead and epic Rush, with some Kyuss and Monomyth thrown in. Fiery drums, monster bass, heavy guitar riffs and freaky old school guitar storytelling in a cosmic movie setting. Star Trek on acid meets Ennio Morricone on a motorbike.
