...from the land of the cojones...

Voodoo Mule
Stoner Rock
Croatia

A hybrid with an error, a not so clever idea gone worse, a menace that bucks you off with a hint of voodoo from under a top hat black... With a hint of sugar, spice and everything nice, that is how this sonic behemoth came about.
The idea behind Voodoo Mule was a simple one, no indie, just loud and filthy. These are the secret ingredients that bond together an ensemble of three with Hippopotamus on drums, Iguana on bass, and Jagnje on guitar and vocals.


This is the form in which we`ve been working since March 2010 and performing since February 2011. We made our first recordings in February 2011 when we immortalized our first three songs that formed our first officially unofficial demo that bloggers labeled it to be stoner rock. Since then we have covered our homeland Slovenia throughout and our hometown Ljubljana several times as well, with disturbingly loud riff driven rock shows. Just couple of highlighted shows were at Festival Lent, Paranoid Piknik Open Air, Metal Mania Open Air and supporting bands like Count Raven, Karma To Burn, Pagan Altar, Jucifer, Suuns, Rozbub and many many many more.

get it for a kiss here

Our plans for the future are as simple as the basic idea that holds us together, play loud, play out, stay filthy and respect your roots.


"Voodoo Mule are full of energy and power, hard hitting toms and trashy drum work on and on...great desert riding riffs surround smooth and organic solo parts and other effect walls who makes the sound complete...the vocals are behind the music like on a old kyuss record, i think that the sound on this record sound's like the coming Vista Chino album...raw, dirty and played with sand filled tube amps!!! That's the spirit of the whole stoner rock network...Thumb up!!!"

...half animal, half machine...

ANIMAL MACHINE
Stoner/Doom
Mexico

An(n)imal Machine is a stoner doom trio from Mexico.
It's a extremely dry and hot sound similar Buffalo,Kyuss,Dozer...
The three dude's really know how good "stoner rock" works.
With these three tracks on the free EP they have earned a good rating....The percentage terms it is almost 100% efficient!!

Tracks

"Condenado"
I like the groovy driving beginning of the song, the short fat hard hitting riffs and  also the psych parts in "Condenado" are a really nice opener for the EP.

"A fistful of Dollars"
I like the Western Movie from  Sergio Leone and also the song of ANIMAL MACHINE...it's start's like a kind of "Green Machine" and and starts to make powerful thrust!!! But a good song at all...I think
it is pulled a little too far into the length but damn!!!it's ok!

"Rage"
Short title, long song...with a flanger concomitant start...into a grove rich song structure.
A really nice last song, big thank's for this nice 30 minutes of heavy riffing and ass kicking groove!!!

"Stonerhead"

...akuma...matata...

Akuma
Mexico
Drone/Doom/Stoner/Punk/Rock/Noise/Hardcore/Ambient/Minimal/MexicanFolk

A wide range of music but not yet excessive...Akuma put on the skillfully as to their.
"Invocations on a Storm" includes  31 minutesof...parts of 80's Metal, post influence, deepest doom, atmospheric sounds, two-voice solos(octaver) ,
a lot of sludge part and fast forward trashmetal stuff...a great mix...hear for yourself.
The  "Twin Ep" shines with some vocal parts, the song "Azamrama"
strongly reminiscent of the reef by Andrew W.K . "Party Hard or somthing?"
This Dudes know how to rock...thanks for your nice music...





Twin (Ep)
