Four guys, no desert, only cactus and music... Started a couple of years ago, played with some of our favourite bands- Umor, Bastinado, Ruiz, Good day to die.. Survived the first tour Mammoth March through Europe luckily with brain damage only, and the Sunrise tour in 2009 with Umor. After successful tours in Europe and some big show's like Stoned from the Underground 2012 they are on tour again this fall.
In their bags a great new album called "Bend To Transcend"...a royal album of finest stoner rock and great hymns...my favourite album for this last hot summer 2012. Check out their tourdates and see COJONES live and rare...this dude's are fucking amazing!!!

Today i will present you the band "STONE ANGELS"...the new band of my homey Steve Bell also known for Second Gear Grind and his big smile...ha ha...so time to start:
Stone Angels", hailing from the ruins of Christchurch, New Zealand. This band plays a blackened style of haunting sludge metal. Influenced by all corners in the genre; From the classics like Eyehategod & Electric Wizard to the distinct & hateful sounds of 16, Iron Monkey & the more recent Cough. Nothing too original, but great nonetheless. The overall sound on here has a really "doomed" feel too it in combination with a more death/ growlish approach to the vocals. Gave this one a few spins and it kept me coming back for more. Now the first record is out now, called "Within the Witch". What a great new band, what a murder album...hurry up and start to listen...
"Deeeper...deeper..harder...yeah this dudes know no fun...very dark ambient sound, eternallyslow and incrediblydeep...black metal influence and this aprupt groove parts make's every one horny...that's exactly what i need after a fucking working day...after "White Light, White Noise" you hate will be gone...therestisa matter of course...rock it"

Sedated Angel have, since the release of their previous album "Far Beyond Repair", achieved a status as one of the leading bands in their part of the rock genre. Due to the overwhelming interest Sedated Angel released the EP "Dirty Goin' Down"
With their different approach to the genre they have created yet another release of the highest quality After the release of their previous album, "Far Beyond Repair, " which received great critical acclaim, Sedated Angel have played more than 60 concerts and toured both Denmark and Germany. It is therefore a strong and well-playing band, who are ready to tour with their new album "Dirty Goin 'Down".Sedated Angel puts on a must-see, sublime live performance! Backed-up with live psychedelic projector shows that fills the stage with diverse visual effects, thus adding to the spectacular energy-filled performances. They cut no corners and gives it all when it comes to presenting their unforgettable concerts. Sedated Angel keeps the audience on the edge and takes them through a highly entertaining show.
The band consists of experienced musicians with a long gig history. Rhythms are heavy, in your face, and played with exceptional energy! The music has surprising original changes, up-tempo riffs and psychedelic parts that will blow your mind, leaving you thirsty for more! The songs are written by the closely-knitted Daniel and Christian; both guitar players that sing lead and possess an ever-present connection whilst performing. Lyrics are written by Christian, Daniel and Iversen, with a past of human tragedy, drugs, life and death as points of reference (Dirty Goin' Down, Drug Shovel, Takin' It All, etc...).
The musical inspiration comes from such names as: Fu Manchu, Clutch, Nebula, Kyuss and Mondo Generator. They have created their own no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point, raw rock ear candy. Yummy
Sedated Angel is part of a bigger collaboration with roots in WATERPUNK PRODUCTIONS. A collaboration, working for more originality and towards more open-minded ideas and projects.
Christian Christensen: Vocal/Guitar
Daniel Kristensen: Vocal/Guitar
Tommy Iversen: Bass/Backing Vocals
4playful songs and a true classicstonerstyle, its strongly reminiscent of the old FU Manchu Stuff,the voiceis strongly reminiscent ofScottHillin someparts on the album, but thats no problem, this band has big balls and they know how these balls has to roll.
Now hailed as the national rock/sludge pride of Venezuela, Cultura Tres came from
far. With the first EP "Seis" (2007) the band already outgrew the South American
continent. But only after releasing debut album "La Cura" in October 2008, the
band started to get noticed worldwide. During the preceding year of rigorous
composing, Cultura Tres incorporated many influences into their sound, ranging from
sludge to doom metal and from death metal to classic rock.
Important magazines in Europe and Japan praised “La Cura” for its dark and
original music, and Metal Hammer magazine even selected Cultura Tres as the
month's global discovery. The release tour took the band for 18 months across
Europe, South America and to the first well-received shows in Japan. During that
period the band also released three video clips that gained them a world-wide cult
following in the underground doom & sludge scene (for example being featured band
on Doom Metal Alliance, Stonerrock.com and HeavyPlanet.com).
In the summer of 2010 the members locked themselves up in the studio to prepare
the second album: “El Mal del Bien”. The result is - in the band members’ own
words - “an album with a single clear direction”. Cultura Tres delves deeper into
the dark atmospheric vein that already showed itself at moments in debut album
La Cura. The daring album opener “Propiedad de Dios” sets the mood: it sounds like
the soundtrack of a tragic cult movie. The songs that follow evoke the witchery,
slavery, oppression and religious madness that influence the South American
continent to this day. Being a concept album adds another dimension to the
individual songs. A patient listener will be dragged into a hallucinating trip around
the insane world the album paints.
The Artwork the whole album concept is very awesome....dark and nasty, great work and really angryfucked up sludge/doom/stoner with a touch of Soulfly and Trash influence from this nice dudes, infuture Ican imagine in CULTURA TRES and i hope i can see them sometimes live, i want to know how the sound live works. Respect and honor to this band...so get the great album "El Mal del Bien" ...because its good for you!!!
