One wonderful evening with three good bands...it was just epic.
thanx to all bands, especially Mars Red Sky for being brave enough coming to Ukraine for 3 shows and bringing 16 tons of fuzzzzzz!
(Special thax goes to T.Rexa (Robusteam photographer) for bringin' MRS straight to the place, Igor "Prog-Jester" (Stoned Jesus) for good excursion for french fellows for the next day, Stonezilla (Ethereal Riffian, Wolverine Blues) for help with organizing this gig and for simple friendly support)

MRS decided to make another show for the next day just to play longer & louder .
There was pretty lovely and friendly atmosphere in a hangar with the cool backyard/wood-burning stove/smoke machine...
thanx to both bands. You've warmed us with your music...

23.11.2011 - Mars Red Sky / Somali Yacht Club / Фейерверки Ранят Небо @ "Vezha", Kalush, UA

Feels good (comfortable?) when it's dark.................

 

Let me introduce you to Voida - Igor's (Stoned Jesus, Snakerider) solo project. Conquering a very emotional kind of singer-songwriter genre he's being influenced by Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Peter Hammil, Steve Von Till, Matthew Parmenter, Brian Borcherdt, Vic Chesnutt, Elliot Smith, A Silver Mt Zion, Neil Young, etc.

This is a second long-play of Voida called "Colour Me Darkness". The first part of this album sounds like a  good kind of an autumn melancholy, while the second touches more personal vibes dragging you to the darker part of our personalities & making the album sound more gloomy.
Voice, instruments, recording, lyrics - done with all one's heart and soul.
This is a very atmospheric offering from a talented musician, which perfectly suits the weather outside your window. It will remind you of something very personal, something you maybe tried to forget once. Go ahead and listen to it if you're not afraid darkness to colour you.

More Good News from Finland...

"BY THE MALICE OF THE EVIL DEATH COMES" Vol 1

Demonic Death Judge/Semtex/Frogskin

This split was really big surprise to me! Three greatest bands from the Finland's underground appearing on one piece of plastic. Limited to 500. Released by a couple of mastodont labels. (My math knowledge says to me - 100 copies per label)

1st track by DDJ that opens this book callad "Kneel" starts with Weedeater-like riff and goes straight by the same road. Second one "Beneath The Monument" reminds me old good Iron Monkey's era. And then it turns into more "melodic" stuff with a cool voice-over samples (by EHG's recipe). They're also having a new album out that have a name "Descent". You can stream it in full here. The level of this band grows like a good fertilized weed.

http://www.myspace.com/demonicdeathjudge

Semtex are cool sounding newcomers. I felt in love since thir 1-st CD-r demo! Weedy tines with sweet/angry guitars ala Bongzilla, Earthride, Hawg Jaw. Think about tatooing your butt/tits (of course if you have a free place on your skin) with next words "In Bud We Trust" ! It will be a good one if you place it next to "Cannabis saved my life" (by the neighbour band Bud Junkies)

http://www.myspace.com/semtexposse

What I really like about Frogskin that you never know what heppens next. Sometimes it goes terribly slow and heavy, sometimes fast as a crusty fuck. Arrgh...goodness. So long awaited 3 new songs since the selftitled LP in 2008. The split with cool canadian Powerviolence/Sludge/Grindcore band Mudlark should be out on 10 inch vinyl like a year or two ago but it didn't heppen. So these three raw sludgy steaks are made of a frog skin. Lick 'em and come to the deep cave trip. Standing on the one step with Finland's own Loinen, Stumm (RIP), Fleshpress.

http://www.frogskin.fi/

The volume 1 in the name of this fabulous split gives us a hope that next time we can hear more exclusive tunes from some good bands from some interesting country...maybe Australia or New Zealand, Ukraine, ehh )))...why not ?))).

1.	DEMONIC DEATH JUDGE: Kneel

NEGATIVE REACTION - 2011 - FREQUENCIES FROM MONTAUK

Three long years have passed since Negative Reaction's "Tales of the Insomniac". Open your mind and this band will blow your brains out. Heavy-twisted Rock'n'Roll coming to da house. Downtuned Guitars seems to be done on minor notes that makes the sound non-standart for doom metal band. Ken's voice seems to be sweet as fuck and ugly as hell in the same time. This work thematically follows the previous opuses like split with Ramesses & "Endofyourerror" & "Orion Chronicles". One of my favourite bands that still doing good-quality Doom/Sludge nowadays. Let the Heaviness come !

without wasting words
...established in 1990, NEGATIVE REACTION from NY/USA, they kings of SLUDGE DOOM are back in 2011 with "Frequencies From Montauk"

Ostend Powers


Take me back to the sweet 90's when nu-metal or so called rapcore was so cool to listen to. Influenced Downset, Reveille, Slaves on Dope...to name a few. Stoned/groovy stuff from Belgium.
Band Description: Ostend Powers dominates through an onslaught of melodic vocals and groove rock guitars, reinforced by smash out beats. Our trademark sound is the melody that is laced throughout our music, taking listeners on an emotionally diverse rollercoaster ride. Even the hardest to impress are left gasping for breath by our live performances.

Le Scimmie (Italy) - 2011 - Dromomania

Really, really badass sound. Heavy Fuzzed out tunes are eating my body.
Imagine Karma2Burn on Steroids, add some good noiserock influences (like Big Business, Karp, Melvins) and you'll got the score. The songs on this album alternate from soft, pleasent melodies to uncompromising instrumental stoner grooves. The video & the song Dromomania just saved my day ) Gifted & Talanted Duo.

Sigmun (Indonesia) - 2011 - Land of the Living Dead

The second Stoned band after the Komunal that I've heard from Indonesia. 2 good Songs.

Descriptive paragraph/bio- Loud is an Indonesian rock band formed in December 2008. Consists of Haikal Azizi (vocal/guitar),Nurachman Andhika (guitar), Mirfak Prabowo (bass) and Risyad Tabattala (drums). Mainly influenced by the two founding fathers of heavy metal, the almighty Led Zeppelin and the god of heavy riffs, Black Sabbath. Loud mentions their music as freud blues rock, the word freud comes from the infamous neurologist, Sigmund Freud, whom they admired so much for his unconscious mind and the defense mechanism theory. They believe that the music they make are coming spontaneously from their unconscious mind. They changed their name to Sigmun after some issues about the similarity of their name with an english hard rock band, which was formed in 1989. the new name of course also came from the wicked neurologist himself. Referring to their influences, most of their songs are based on riffs covered with distortion and overflowing echoes. They describe their sound as "bringing a high gain amplifier and drums into a cave". the basslines are almost progressive but raw and primitive at the same time, the drumming moves fierce and violent on high tempo and in a sudden could turn calm into a drowning bluesy beats, while the vocals sounded like chants and moans, obviously affected by Plant and Ozzy . while they altogether religiously worshiped the Zeppelin and the Sabbath, each member also have their own musical background. mirfak have always been a fan of the grunge god Nirvana, the highspeed aggression of Motorhead and anything masculine, while nurrahman is a heavy metal geek who embrace the holy father Dio , Iron Maiden and the uncanny Uriah Heep. haikal adores the psychedelic echoes and progressions of Pink Floyd, the complexions of Robert Fripp and the zestful spirit of Jack Whites screech, risyad on the other hand has always been a disciple of Johny Rotten and the likes of raw punk rock, also highly toxicated by heavy local acts such as Seringai and Koil. their interest in sigmund freud concepts of unconscious mind and their love for the whimsical world of surrealism are evidently showing in their lyrics. enjoying the exploration of absurdism and juxtaposition in their writings, Dali, Magritte and Chirico might have influenced them as much as Page and Iommi did, paintings made out of hazy poetry and heavy echoed chords. they might say that the lyrics are mainly about human nature and social life, but then again who could ever guess what's behind their unconscious mind?

17 Pygmies - 2011 - I: Second Son

Making music from 1983. Sit & Relax.

Thought you might be interested in our attempt to resurrect Symphonic/Ambient/Exp/Psych/Prog Rock. Arigato for listening.

Partly symphonic prog rock, partly experimental, partly sci-fi, partly indie rock, partly space rock, partly electro-acoustic, (you get the picture) the Pygmies utilize the Brian Wilson “whatever works” aesthetic to get their musical vision(s) across.

Redburn's Heat......

For those of you who don't know right after the Robustfest, another massive psych/stoner/doom event took place in Moscow. The first Redburn festival fired up Russia on the 14-16 of October 2011.

Ethereal Riffian team was there to play a show, and to capture the bands playing there. Unfortunately we weren't able to make a video for each band, but the videos below will surely be enough to drag you into the Redburn's atmosphere.
As for the report - I guess music speaks louder than words:

One Inch Giant (Swe) - 2011 - Malva

One Inch Giant (Swe) - 2011 - Malva

Hail Sweden! Here comes One Inch Giant. Powerful, strong stonerrock filled with good classic riffs. I've listened to this album for one breath. Just one melodic ballad and the rest is a groovy massacre. The British band Grifter says - "Simplicity of the riff is key". And I think this is the answer to the tons of hard questions ))). Name of the band for sure comes from one Kyuss song (guess how it's called?))) And my favourite song on this album "Feed the Fire" starts from the Blind Dog's riff...aarrghh sounds awesome. I need to buy a motorcycle !
"Echoes in the night" and "Treasures that betray" rock my lazy bottom since last weekend.
Recommended to old riff-rock lovers (Blind Dog, The Mashroom River Band, Zebulon, Kyuss)



few words from the band :
"We're One Inch Giant, a band from Gothenburg, Sweden, finding inspirations in such fine acts as Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Kyuss, Mastodon and others."
We have just released our debut album Malva, mastered by the legendary Peter In De Betou (http://www.tailormaid.se/referenser.htm) (he worked for : A Burial At Sea, Come Sleep, Meshuggah, Peter Pan Speed Rock ... and tons more ) , which can be streamed at

Support the band! Buy a CD. It's limited to 100 copies. be fast!

Heavy Psychedelic Tunes from Italy

Da Captain Trips (Italy) - 2011 - Da Captain Trips

I've missed them like a year ago in a Little Devil Bar during the Roadburn fest. Mari (sludgeswamp (R.I.P.), Doommantia...) told me that Da Captain Trips - are great psychedelic jam band. So few months later I've found them. So, Mari - you was right, thanks.

Otehi (Italy) - 2011 - Noisy Spirit

Sent by this Awesome Band. True Psychedelic madness! highly Recommended!

The band starts in brand new mood in march 2011 in the Italian stoner/psych music panorama.
The trio (Macej "wildhand" Mikolajczyk; bass/voice, Domenico "mastino" Canino; Guitar/Effects/voice, Vito "vitus" Zito; drum) approaches to a dirty and granitic sound, sometimes clean and amniotic after has been experimenting in different roman undergrounds.
During their lives they have been projecting videos with prevalent object the nature which has been a perfect psychedelic band’s background added to a mantras stoner’s riffs and melodious surroundings notes.
Under the Valle D’Itria’s (south of Italy) burning sun of August 2011, the band locks its self up to give birth to its first low budget self product the EP “Noisy Spirit”, also supported from Cal Scott "Umbah" of the ex “Necrosanct”.

Fleshpress: Acid Mouth Strangulation

Fleshpress - 2011 - Acid Mouth Strangulation

Best finnish band ever! New finnish label!They will play on Afterburner and the last Amplifier Worship festivals. That's all that you need to know.
This is gonna be a blast! I hope they will follow 2 EP's that were on Throne Recs. ("Rebuild/Crumble" & "No Return") The most awaited psychedelic underground band for me.

I guess this is the same artist who made Loinen LP cover. It makes me cum.

The release date is 26th of October. And I hope this will go by plan. In other way these guys from the cover will eat the label's boss!)))

"Suffocating home-brewed hypnotic sludge rock from the northern swamps. On their fifth full length album Finnish sludge rockers Fleshpress evolve from their days as a rough, gritty metal machine towards the unknown. These three long tracks ebb and flow with an organic pulse, from slowly meditative passages to black swamp-sludge metal. An unsettling but oddly beautiful experience. "
