Tombé dans le stoner il y a 20 ans, j’essaie de partager mes coups de cœurs musicaux, aussi bien sur album qu'en concert. Mot d’ordre : spread the fuzz ! Avec une bonne bière, bien sûr !

Stoner grunge merchants DISASTROID strike again with “Garden Creatures”.

by

Wanna hear about grunge revival? Hell no. To us, “revival” is a word for low-grade and poorly inspired copycats, and this is certainly not what DISASTROID is about....

SOMETHING ANIMAL brings chaos on “Bestial Curse Part 1”

by

Back in the days, when it came to chaotic hardcore, French outfits could be counted on the fingers of one hand and America remained our main dealer. From now on, we’ll have...

DOMKRAFT get closer to the Doom Grail with “Sonic Moons”.

Released this summer, the new album from Texan quartet THUNDER HORSE is a heavy metal slap in the face the likes of which we haven’t experienced in a long time! Sticking to...

BLACK RAINBOWS reach their apex with “Superskull”.

by

Three years ago, I was writing that “Cosmic Ritual Supertrip” was the best Black Rainbows album, but I certainly didn’t take into account their ability to...

HAIL THE VOID set the new standards of doom with “Memento Mori”.

by

Disclaimer: you may need to warm your neck up before getting into this album, or you’ll risk massive whiplash. When Ripple Music started working with Blasko, we knew that he...

ABRAMS craft an addictive heavy rock recipe with “In The Dark”.

by

We didn’t expect the best release of the summer to be both such a surprise and a heart-stopper, with Abrams new album “In The Dark”. If my editor wasn’t in...

DEADLY VIPERS make a huge (stoner) splash with “Low City Drone”.

by

Given the band name, artwork and associated label, you think you’d know what to expect from this new DEADLY VIPERS album: a ton of fuzz dripping from your earholes. This is...

KEN MODE give us a glimmer of hope with their cathartic new album “Null”.

by

This September, KEN mode released their eighth album “Null”, and it’s probably my album of the year. No less. You won’t get any pitch or namedropping here,...

HANGMAN’S CHAIR atteint le firmament avec “A Loner”.

by

Hangman’s Chair, c’est l’éclatante ascension d’un groupe de banlieusards qui s’affirme comme l’un des fers de lance du Metal français. Et “A Loner” en...

SLOWSHINE raises stonergaze to new heights with “Living Light”.

by

Rarely has a totally DIY debut album treated us to such a range of emotions and sounds. Probably because SLOWSHINE are not new to the scene, even less riffmaking rookies, as some...

[FOCUS] Five underrated Greek rock bands you need to check out.

by

There is no doubt that that the Greek stoner rock scene is one of the most active, yet the underground scene keeps providing high quality bands who keep missing the audience’s...

Team Sabbath or Beastie Boys? EL LOBO EN TU PUERTA is both.
