Heavy as a Mammoth...

What I handle in my hands right now is a big heavy neanderthal stone. This CD bring s us to the ancient times. Nobody's speaking but nature. Imagine the day when dinosaurs ruled this weak planet. That was a havy, but full of freedom time. Just like the Grandloom's debut album sounds. And the "Sunburst" spreading the light of good played psychedelic heavy jams. This band goes in top 5 instrumental stoner/jam bands for sure (you know them all well).

Support the band. Buy this wonderful CD-digi. Or cath the Vinyl which is much besser ))

these words are carved in stone :
"Grandlooms `Sunburst` is the debut album by this young instrumental Stoner Rock band from Germany.

Grandloom is a three-peace heavy jamrock band from Cottbus Germany. Grandloom founded new with the current lineup in early 2007
The sound of Grandloom is mix from stoner, psychedelic, space, blues and seventies rock.
Grandloom share the stage with a lot of famous bands for example Brant Bjork, Karma To Burn, Orange Goblin, Truckfighters and Graveyard."

Tanx to David for CD.

Meadows

Old sweet grindcore tunes. I'm into this. Raw punkish sound (think mid. Napalm Death/Terrorizer) slightly goes into some slow/atmospheric parts. And then back to deliver great sludge/metalcore minces in Converge vein.
Thanx to Charlie from the band for keeping my ears opened for this.

Trash, Madam, Trash

Softly heavy, heavily soft, fuzzy, bluesy and honestly catchy...Great pleasent album from Brooklyn's trio. They're having a lot of garage, stoner and simply rock influences. I don't know why but I'm thinking of soem Helmet, early Soundgarden, Brain Police, Sedue Brothers, The Soulshake Express...choose your dozen of bands and write it in comments.

Please, support this young and perspective band.

We’re called Madam Trashy, a 3-piece prog/grunge/metal band from Williamsburg Brooklyn, NY.

The record, “Book of Dead” was mixed by Jack Endino (Nirvana, High on Fire, Soundgarden)

Three different drummers. Three different sets...

This is for you, stoned fellas.

After years of toiling away in obscurity, followed by years of escalating interest during their hiatus, the legendary Florida band Floor reunited for a handful of shows in April 2010. Three different drummers. Three different sets. Over two hours of material spanning their early dirgey/noise singles to their landmark psych/drone/pop self-titled masterpiece. Filmed over two nights at the EARL in Atlanta, Georgia, "Sight & Seen" is truly something that needs to be seen to be believed.

A multi-camera performance coupled with professionally recorded and mixed audio, "Sight & Seen" is an enveloping, droning wall of guitars. Floor's two guitarists, Anthony Vialon and Steve Brooks (of TORCHE fame), spend over two hours on stage with their various drummers. Their three drummers, Betty, Jeff and Henry, rotate through the band's lineup: crashing through their early singles, smoking the viewer with their mid-period haze and ending with the cathartic and anthemic final album.

Disc #1 of "Sight & Seen" also includes a 20 minute featurette that documents the band's history with never-before-seen live footage, photography and interviews.

Disc #2 is intended lure in both massive fans and completists alike. A data disc (which means you pop it in your computer), it includes:

--high quality audio files of both Atlanta shows (not just the one shown on disc #1)

--the complete and edited film of Floor that ended up on the cutting room floor (which clocks in at over 2 hours of video)

And in addition to this, the band has opened up their video vaults to include:

--over an hour of archival footage spanning Floor's career from 1993 at Churchill's in Miami to their final shows in 2002.

"Sight & Seen" is also housed in an elaborate package which was initially used on Chunklet's landmark "Anthem" 2xDVD release by Harvey Milk in 2006. All designed by Chunklet's in-house designer, Henry H. Owings.

Mail order copies will be available on a few different 'colors' (in editions of 50...at no additional cost) and "Sight & Seen" is a one-time release of 700 never to be reissued.

I've uploaded only .avi & mp3 files just for pre-view. Hope you'll make the right decision.
The DVD sounds and looks much better.

Enter the Ethereal World...

It's really hard to write a review, because I know these guys well for a damn-long period of time. Decade is the word. Responsible and friendly godfellas through all these years.
I was really wondered when guys started to play. About 2 years ago there was a project that consisted of Max & Stonezilla. They've tried different musical genres from brutal grindcore to acoustic blues songs. A little bit later SAF (Stonezilla's brother) started to play bass and joined them. So, that's how the core of Ethereal Riffian was created. The main goal was to create good sounding conceptual product. And they did it well.

Here is my view on a concept of "Shaman's Visions":

This is a solid tale about Shaman's journey out of his body and back. He is not young nor old. He feels a wisdom of a hundred-year old man. During the flight Shaman meets different creatures. Some of them are dark and evil, others are kind and light, the rest is ether. The man's rhythmic voice-vibes are bringing spirit into the core of the Universe. He understands a whole truth. Coming down into the body. The silent smile fades above the blown up beard.

I should say really big respect to all the ER crew. The really hard work is done.
Max the artist also made great debut.

Don't wana write any similar bands/styles/genres...listen and decide for yourself !
Write your own review in comment section. All constructive critics, lovers, haters are welcome.

Nowadays Ethereal Riffian is looking for a drummer. He should be at least such a kind of personality (inside the body at least :)) :


If you really enjoyed the stuff and wanna buy a physical copy (which is more awesome) write to this mail riffianrockmusic@gmail.com
We're thinking of making some more catchy ER merch soon...Playing gigs are also needed.

Some more info about CD :

10 Euro/15$ - for Shamanic Digi pack (Only 50 were made, handmade, hand played)

9 Euro/13,5$ - for simple kick-ass digipack (ltd. to 250)

shipping cost is included.

Be fast as Flash Gordon to catch shamanic digi. it goes really fast now...And for sure it worth each penny you will spread on it.

I hope that Robustfellow blog will have some kind of little distro-shop soon with some nice titles and low-as-we-can prices.

Are you ready for the loud-stoned-alco-party ?
Gay Paris came here to fill your mouth with cheap booze, bring you some fire to burn a joint, and finally to punish your ears with nasty, loud, cathy, foxfucking fresh anekdotes.


GP has their own row dirty sounding face in modern Australian scene. Deep punk, stoner, r'n'r roots are detected. I'm really much into their epic rock moments when the music goes quiet down and then overflows into mosh-dance hit. Pretty damn good for debut.
Someone will call this somekind of brutalized version of Clutch's "Impetus" era, and a lot of more good catchy bands...

this is what others are thinging about GP

Lock up your daughters! because AVER will be at her friend's house party screaming obscenities, hogging the stereo, breaking laws and vomiting in the swimming pool. Having just self-released their first album in April 2011, These unsigned 21-year-olds from Sydney, Australia have started out with a bang. Sounding like a radioactive Mudhoney took acid, smoked meth and played a gig underwater, this is Space/Stoner/Grunge for the thinking man, featuring didgeridoo, djembe and a scream that could strip paint. A style that defies genres. Spacey as shit, Heavy as fuck, No bullshit and No surrender. Get the headphones out for this one.

Side A:
Band Info: Myosis is a band from Karachi, Pakistan that plays a
painfully slow variety of doom metal a la Goatsnake, Melvins,
Eyehategod and Iron Monkey. The band is made up of Karachi Metal veteran
Asadullah Qureshi and the vocalist, Agha Majid, making his debut in the
band.

Side B:
Band Info: From humble beginnings as a bedroom guitarist, J from
Singapore eventually progressed beyond music making and assembled his
own home studio. Releasing a few covers in 2008, J gained sufficient
experience to finally record, mix and produce his first demo,
Apotropaic, in 2009. Heavily influenced by funeral doom and sludge
such as YOB, Colosseum, The Funeral Orchestra, Esoteric etc, J sets
out to enshroud Singapore and Asia within a nebulous cloud of funeral
depression.

1 track makes it all.

"I'm currently living in Los Angeles and have been producing electronic music since 2001. Studied classical piano and guitar for eleven years and found my sound drifting to simpler...more meaningful territories. I realized through this development a necessity to house these 'newer' sounds under a different alias.Swenlo is now used for my downtempo/psychedelic productions

After many months on the calendar and well over a year in the works, 2009-2011 was spent digging for material that would fit Part I of this mix series (Generators of Evil). I figured what better time to launch my own imprint than with the release of this mix, something I invested a lot of energy and soul into. Spirit Charity was born.. "Vadim (Swenlo)

For Sunny sludgy faces...

Sunface ia a fresh band from Finland. Kind of Psychedelic/Sludge stuff. Awesome looking tape.
Kaos Kontrol says so:
"First release from a Finnish band drawing inspiration from the likes of Iron Monkey, Cavity, Weedeater and early Earth. Six tracks of heavy and punishing low-end sludge with raw production, just like it's meant to be. Green tape in green cassette box with full colour sleeve. Limited edition of 100 copies."

Drum/Piano Duo from Australia

This became fresh juice for my brain just before Mike Patton said the same.

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. The duo known as PIVIXKI are a unique combination of two distinct talents: two hard-working veterans of the Melbourne (and indeed international) music scene. Multi-instrumentalist and keyboard player within the band, Anthony Pateras, has a CV big enough to fill three press releases. Working within the musical realms of modern composition, improvisation, electronics, avant-rock and noise, he’s composed for major orchestras, played with a multitude of collaborators (including the likes of Oren Ambarchi, Christian Fennesz, Tony Buck, Han Bennink, Dave Brown and violin virtuoso Richard Tognetti), performed in everything from seedy dives to concert halls the world over, released his music on a multitude of labels (including two acclaimed CDs on John Zorn’s Tzadik imprint) and is currently the composer-in-residence at the Australian National Academy Of Music. .. Max Kohane has been playing in bands since he was 12 and touring since he was 16. He’s infamous for his dynamic, intensely fast and technical drumming style and has earned a rep as perhaps the best skin-hitter in Australia’s hardcore punk scene. He’s played in the likes of Far Left Limit, George W. Bush, Terra Firma, Cut Sick, grind kings Agents Of Abhorrence and crust-punkers ABC Weapons. In that time, he’s managed to play shows in places as far flung as Macedonia, Japan, Indonesia and the U.S. .. The beauty of PIVIXKI lies in the clash of these two musical cultures, though the willing experimentation of Pateras and Kohane has seen fit that there is no clash at all. PIVIXKI’s debut, Gravissima, recorded by U.S. expatriate Casey Rice, sees an amazing melding of sensibilities. Nominally a piano/drums duo, the band expands their sound with percussive flourishes and the addition of organ and electronic keyboards into the mix. Some of the songs are short, fast and cut to the point; others organically develop over several minutes like soundtrack pieces, occasionally feeding through the creepy, picturesque qualities of Italy’s horror-music legends Goblin, or the seething musical soundscapes of France’s avant-prog troupe, Magma. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..PIVIXKI.. just released their second album GRAVISSIMA on Melbourne's Lexicon Devil. .. ......

THE SAND COLLECTOR - "LORD OF THE SUN"

Great band from Spain. check 'em if you don't already know 'em.

“"Lord of the Sun” is the re-edition of our e.p., with 4 new songs (and a surprise at the end in the original cd´s) 11 songs, nearly an hour of music. We could say that stoner rock is the main influence, but we can also find doom, heavy metal, hardcore, sludge or country.

A crystal production with powerful sound and with compositions full of memorable riffs and solos, bass lines that have nothing to envy Scott Reeder himself, powerful drums and epic choruses.

Strongly recommended for fans of Spiritual Beggars, Clutch, Grand Magus, Down, Black Sabbath, Dozer, Baroness, Alice in Chains Cathedral, The Sword, Alabama Thunderpussy, Red Fang, Pendejo! ..."

Greetings and Thanks!
TSC
