Monolord - Your Time to Shine (MR)
The Doom Metal and Psychedelic Rock monster from Gothenburg, Sweden is back with another killer album. On five new tracks, the trio creates massive walls of sound, decorates them with catchy and hypnotizing harmonies, and lets them run with dynamic velocity. Self-confident and with broad should, Monolord deliver another milestone.

Fere - Visceral (MR)
Fere from Portuguese town Porto take us on a trip to the dark depths of the human mind. Their new five-track release "Visceral" lets the audience travel with a map of the human subconsciousness. Discovering hidden and forgotten regions of our memories, the atmospheric mix of Ambient and Doom leads us to the blackbox.

Kosmodome - Deadbeat (MR)
On the third and final single of their debut album, Kosmodome from Bergen, Norway present a serious sonic bouquet. The seven-minute track is various enough to let Forrest Gump behind speechless. Powerful Heavy Rock rolls forward while psychedelic elements let the listeners take off and hover abve ground, and finally there is the strong Prog and Zeuhl impact that make 'Deadbeat' so colourful.

Naxatras - Journey to Narahman (MR)
Psychedelic Rock and Prog Rock legends Naxatras from Thessaloniki, Greece have announced their fourth long-player "IV" to be out on February 25, 2022. The time we have to wait until the new album drops has just been sweetened a little bit by the first ex ante single 'Journey to Narahmon' that raises the anticipation.

K Amon K - Arca Ende Aeterna (MR)
Aural Music presents the new album "Arca Ande Aeterna" (Latin: "The Eternal Ark") by French band K Amon K. The band consists of veterans and legends who helped buildung the Black Metal scene in France, who are now here to revive the genre once more. This is a hot recommendation for lovers of Old School Black Metal in combination with Prog.

Ergholae Somptator - Mille vertiges fondent sur les âmes vides (MR)
Another French Extreme Metal release via Aural Music. A savage mix of Death, Thrash and Black Metal makes Ergholae Somptator's new album a violent beast. And so is the title "Mille vertiges fondent sur les âmes vides" (French: "Thousandfold dizziness melts on empty souls").

Chris Maragoth - Tales (MR)
Magdeburg's Chris Maragoth is back with a new three-track EP. The German artist provides us with dark and symphonic Prog Metal, and soulful soundscapes. The three autonomous songs create a versatile collection of stories. The first track 'Story about a Girl' stands out the most since it features guest vocals by Nadine Hope.

Movment - We all must go (MR)
On the theird single of their upcoming album "Transformation", the band from Mullingar, Ireland prepares us for the journey to the Big Black River. Movment's Post Punk and Alternative Rock bastard sound is a rough, dark, and honest presentation of the one thing that is sure: we all most go.

Dirty Sound Magnet - Toxic Monkeys (MR)

Swiss band Dirty Sound Magnet are here to open our third eye for us. Between heavily rolling Hard Rock riffs, loungy and krauty interludes and psychedelic passages, Dirty Sound Magnet take a look at the world and realize: monkeys, monkeys everywhere! The hilarious look onto our society, partially reminds of Frank Zappa's 'Muffin Man'.

Plastic Woods - Close to the Void (MR)

Another critical view onto humankind is undertaken by Plastic Woods from Antequera, Spain. But instead of being sarcastic or cynical, the Andalusian trio soberly constates that we are getting 'Close to the void'. The mix of Krautrock and Heavy Psych will be featured on the album "Dragonfruit" which is about to drop this Friday.

Seremonia - Unohduksen kidassa (MR)

The title of this brand new track by Finnish band can be translated to 'In the Palate of Oblivion', and it is an absolute beast of psychedelic and occvlt Rock and Folk. Seremonia follow the tradition of acts such as The Crazy World of Arthur Brown or Coven and bewitch their audience with hypnotizing sounds. The album "Neonlusicfer" will be released via Svart Records on February 04, 2021.

Sei still - El Refugio (MR)

Cosmic sounds, a massive input by 1960s and 70s Kraut, and the heat of the Central American regions come together and make a beautiful cocktail that is called "El Refugio" by Sei still (German: be quiet). The Mexican band's second album has been released via Fuzz Club and powerfull combines the sounds of rebellion and isolation.

Red Fang - Hell's Bells (MR)

Isn't it funny that some AC/DC songs actually do not sound that bad when played by other bands? Oregon's Red Fang prove this oddity once more by successfully turning 'Hell's Bells' into a very cool Desert and Heavy Rock banger. Magnetic Eye Records will release the compilation "Back in Black (Redux)" on Friday, which will contain nine AC/DC covers.

Tyler Kamen - Monk Key

The latest album "Resolution Rose" has not been out for long, but New York's Tyler Kamen has already announced the upcoming longplayer "Lizard House" to be released in late 2021 or early 2022. The first single 'Monk Key' is a funky, psychedelic, and colourful sonic journey to the realms of the monkey man. The stunning song features a bridge which reminds of Bob Marley's 'I shot the Sheriff'.

Slut Magic - Dream Lover (MR)

In a Ramones-like anthem, New York's Slut Magic fantasize of their dream lovers. Driven by the most powerful bass and a nihilist surf guitar, the song leads the audience into a colourful and boppy reverie that is defined by love, desire, and rush.
