It was a like a rise like phoenix from burned remains. Within short time, a first demo and the debut album " Soul of the Zeremony " were crafted, on which the band presented a heavy, blues-laden, and organ-driven Heavy Rock with tendencies towards Psych and Stoner Rock. A strong caesura or change of paradigms could be spotted when Zeremony released their stunning EP " Cosmic Dystopia " in 2019 - a powerful and heavy Retro Prog banger.

Six years after the release of phiasco's debut album "Vieh" (German: "beast" or "animal", derogatory term for livestock, and homophone with φ), the quartet has published their sophomore longplayer "Kessel" (German: "kettle...

Picture Credit: Kjetil Tofte   Electric High - Populate the Moon Release Date: October 08, 2021 Length: 06:48 Genre:  Heavy Rock  /  Garage Rock Origin:  Bergen ,  Norway Six weeks after the release of their eighth single ' Sun ', Bergen-based quintet Electric High provides us with another heavy banger. Searching for a place to start a better future at, Tor Bjarne , PV , Olav , Marius , and Einride  embark a space vessel to leave Earth and its chaos behind. But while nuts like Elon Musk  head for the red planet, Electric High's aim is to 'Populate the Moon'. Populate The Moon by Electric High The single is an honest and powerful Sabbath-worshipping Heavy Blues Rock anthem. The walking bass and the verses' vocals obviously remind of Black Sabbath's song 'Black Sabbath' from the album "Black Sabbath". With the massive bridge, the song receives some body-moving Garage Rock which climaxes in the heavy chorus. And finally, the coda is where this...

Picture Credit: TruckerBomb   TruckerBomb - Cannibal Release Date: September 24, 2021 Length: 03:49 Genre: Heavy Rock / Americana Origin: Los Angeles , CA , USA TruckerBomb's latest single "Cannibal" is a bit like an impressionist painting. By listening to the vocals you can clearly understand what the Californian band ist telling us about. But by digging deeper, the recipients become part of the artwork themselves and create their own meaning. Thus, I don't wanna go into detail too much when analyzing this town. The only this I can tell is that I actually grew up in Rotenburg an der Fulda. Cannibal by TruckerBomb Music-wise, TruckerBomb present a sound that is as great and as wide as the Mongolian steppes. Americana, Alternative Rock, Heavy Rock, and Alt Country come together in a single glass, get stirred, shaken, and mixed, and then make an amazingly tasty drink. Dust, sunburn, and cigarettes might be among the taste notes, too. Music from every post will stay in ...

Band members Tina and  Dave  invite us on a sonic time travel to the Golden Era of Hard and Heavy Rock. The album transfers us to a time when there were no mobile phones, no social media shit storms, and no autotune vocals. Instead, "Deal Breaker" tastes like petrol-driven cars, telephone booths, cold beer, and sweet freedom. Retro fans, turn up the volume!

The song tells us about a ruler who got imprisoned by his subjects and who is now longing for the sunlight's healing power. SUN by Electric High Driven by immense energy, this powerful Heavy Rock anthem rolls forward like a Merkava tank. Although heavily Blues-influenced, 'Sun' often scratches the border between Heavy Rock and Heavy Metal - the guitar insane solo by Marius   Mørch  even intensifies this impression. And finally, Electric High have created another Rock'n'Roll hymn for the whole body and for endless nights. Music from every post will stay in the  MangoR...
