The Church Within Records Releases

BLACKFINGER
Doom/Psych
USA/Chicago


"Funeral Doom with a lot of different instruments and melodies, sabbatic riffs the album becomes a good piece of music. "Blackfinger" comes like a mix of "Pothead", "Creed", "Black Sabbath" and a bit of "Type O Negative" i like it."

PURPLE HILL WITCH
Doom

"Slow motion riffs, hard hitting toms, screaming guitar solos and a bluesy rhythm of the bass guitar is always a part of the first release of "Purple Hill Witch". Awesome album, thumb up!"

...good music from good people for good people...

RODEO DRIVE
STONER ROCK/HEAVY ROCK
GERMANY/BERLIN

I 'm going to tell you a story about a guy named "Hans" He always believed in music as a true music enthusiast and what he does has a soul and character.  After a yearlong acting with Samsara Blues Experiment, 2013 he started with "Rodeo Drive" as a new Project. Mixed and mastered by Richard Behrens also known from the sound of "Kadavar's" live sound and by "Heat" who did the bass.
 "Rodeo Drive" has a very simple but well rocking material on their disc which  proves us good songwriting skills. A true and not overproduced sound escorts every single song. You can't ignore the classic stoner rock attitude and with a lot of psychedelic parts and great solos it never becomes boring.. The vocals are very minimalistic and so the band conveys more like a  "jam atmosphere".
Also the bass sound works very well and so it's not a surprise that the band comes with some cool openers on several tracks. 
Song's like "The Void, Stoner of Mass Destruction, Poultry Bro, Earth Dark Diseases and "Snuff Eater" is great stuff for the Stonerheads out there.
All stuff of Rodeo Drive, Samsara Blues Experiment, Heat,Dunst etc you can order directly from Electric Magic or via bandcamp, follow the link below.

...in the garden of ivyl!!!


IVY GARDEN OF THE DESERT
DOOM/STONER/PSYCH
ITALY

Straight from Trevisio, Italy the power constilation of Andrea, Paolo and Diego release their third full lenght concept album named "I Ate Of The Plant And It Was Good" and it is directly conected to their forerunners "Docile" (2011) and "Love Is Blood" (2012). 
"They thought they were playing stoner, but people actually say they don't..." is their description quote on the genre line on facebook. That's right because it's not only simple Stoner Rock but high quality varied rock music with a interesting mix out of progressive rock parts, slower doom parts and driven portion hard rock and in the end there are also some stoner rock influences.

 I saw them at the Freak Valley Festival and i was really impressed by this nice guys from Italy. At the drive home from the festival i had the possibility to listen to their album accurate and had a lot of fun with this.
Song's like "Deeper Than Deep", "Ohcysprotom" and "Hang Glider" show the whole spectrum of their skills. Exactly this is what makes the band unique. They create their own sound and so they distinguish to all the other bands in this genre. I'm really happy about this discovery on the main stage at freak valley. The live show had a huge pressure and the progressive parts reminded me stromg on the band "TOOL", with a good feeling on stage and a great performance which they played and a  great set.  So they could impressed a lot of the people i think. 
You also have the honor to get your own copy of the Ivy Row. Check out their available records and merchandise on their sites.

...little lucifer...

LUCIFER BABY
HEAVY ROCK/HARD ROCK
AUSTRIA

After some band member changes and a new stylistic concept made out of the old Cachimbo de Paz "LUCIFER BABY" appeared as an incoming and fresh band with new members and a new concept.
The first loss maker comes in vinyl with three different colors and constitutes two first song's.
"The Walls are coming closer" and "The spell seems to be broken" give insights into the world of LUCIFER BABY and grant us some good feelings for the future. Cool melodies and ballads are intrinsically but suitable and fit great into the whole thing. The voice is forming and covers several parts. From nasally smooth parts to scratchy dark ballads it makes a spooky and occult feeling.
 Live they are also a burner so if you have the possibility to see them. IT'S A MUST!!! Hopefully their full album is coming out soon and has some more melodic and formative song's ready for us.
Ear worm is guaranteed!
