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!

WISDOOM

ITALY

DOOM/SLUDGE

HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS

The Wisdoom is a heavy psych sludge band based in Rome (Italy) and formed at the end of 2010 by Dario Iocca, Francesco Pucci and after joined by Luigi Costanzo and Daniele Neri. 

In June 2011 the band released their first self-title EP that received enthusiastic feedbacks from the critics and audiences, so much that the song “Katabasis” has been selected to be part of the soundtrack of the movie “Paura” by the italian masters of explotations films Manetti Bros.

They are now going to release for the label Heavy Psych Sounds Records: “Hypothalamus”, their first full length with 4 brand new songs for 45 minutes of pure ecstatic violence through a desperate and lysergic trip over sleep phases. "Hypothalamus" is mixed and mastered by Lorenzo Stecconi (who worked with Ufomammut, The Secret and his band Lento)

The Wisdoom have also shared the stage with world renowned bands such as Orange Goblin, Eyehategod, Hate, Peter Pan Speedrock, and taking part in festivals like Duna Jam, Stoned Hand Of Doom and Acid Fest.

""THE WISDOOM" is a down tuned pressure surfing band with a traditional italian doom attitude like Ufomammut or Lento. I didn’t expect the good sound quality, however thanks to Lorenzo Stecconis skills it comes fat like a wall. Speaking of their music, it hasn’t really surpised me as it is nothing new in the world of doom, but it definitely has function and is well structured, therefore I like what I hear. 

The spooky and echoing voice comes to the right point and gives you a roomful feeling. The permanent up and downs of the songs are pleasant to listen to, but sometimes it makes it hard to follow the whole song cause of the riff repetitions. If you like riff orianted Doom and Sludge with some space parts you will like "Hypothalamus" too, its full of power and dark energy. After their first bigger shows(Desert Fest Berlin; Stoned Hand of Doom) I'm curious what will happen in the future. Thumb up for this new and fresh band!""

...MAHATAMAHAT!!!

MAHAT

STONER ROCK

GERMANY

This Stuttgart based 4 piece stoner constellation called Mahat release their LP „Looking for a ride“.

This 12 song construct wants to call desertscapes and whiskey soaked, sun-dried highways it's home.

„Atacama“, the opener starts rolling and groovin' in a pretty direct way. Easy structures for easy listening. Maybe this refrain is played a bit too long but it flows.

„Looking for a ride“ the self titled track of the album. Some nice, nasty blues rock riffs and even the voice is ok.

„Role model education“ isn't that kind of outstanding. A solid track pretty much focused on vocals and that's what i don't like that much. Comparable to tons of other stuff unfortunately.

„Solitude“ sadly continues what started a song earlier. Too much voice and a bit too melodical for my kind of taste. The riffs changing a lot from quite cool stuff to non-innovative 3 chord punk manner.

„Desert Night“. This one is actually pretty cool. Nice acoustic orientaded guitar track.

„Rewind“ really not my style. Sounds a bit insincere to me,I mean it isn't that bad but also not that cool. I'm missing somekind of an own style.

 „Skulls 'n bitches“ is probably the best song of this average record. Fast powerful riffin'...ok, the voice could be reducedfrom loudness (at the whole album) but the rest is ok. Breaking through the average and find it's way to the favorite track of this record.

„Lost“. To be serious i don't like this one but always remember music is subjective so maybe you dig it. Who knows.

There are 4 tracks left. Same manner. Identical structures. Not bad but the peak was done with Skulls 'n bitches. Stays solid but not above average sound pleasures.

...Opium Drone shots...

CULTO

ITALY

DOOM/DRONE

You like stoner rock but always wondered why these guys don't keep it slower?

You discovered some ass-kicking doom stuff but still thought why so hectical?

And you still believe in the brown tone?

Well then you should check out Culto, a Drone Duo from Italy.

The self-titled debut album got 2 earth-spin-stopping noise colosses of 15 min each, which soak you into endless Cave-Swamps. Massive soundwalls, depressive mood, tones lower than Hip-Hop-pants and an almost apocalyptic atmosphere infiltrated by some whispered vocals what fits pretty well. 

Imagine doom Kings „Conan“ playing without drums on a neverendless Opium Trip.

These guys arranged it not to vary that much. You find heavier parts with great guitar-riffing and the bit quiter ones with mentioned ritualistic whispering on it. That leads to a certain bouncing structure.

But keep in mind we're talking about ambient drone. Well...convince yourself...

If you like it more slow and atmospheric but still heavy, Culto seems to be a good choice.

Let's see what comes next.
