WEEDPRIEST
DOOM/STONER
IRELAND

WEEDPRIEST is a doom trio  from the west of Ireland.
 Weed Priest has been formed in 2008.
 Since the release of a demo CD (2011), we've been playing gigs and 
working on the original material which now materialized 
as a full length self titled album (released through HexenHaus).

...also check out the nice interview of my homie SLUGELORD here...

They took thei time to recording the songs,have  recording sessions on
 occult dates in locations of spiritual significance.

"Weed Priest is a great doom/sludge band and they did a awesome first album, 6 killer song's in a story telling row...finest fat and deep riffs straight from the hell. Spooky sample's and melancholic shouts, down tuned instrument's, a muddy drumset and as the tradition demands...long song's, that's what i like! Beautiful music for beautiful people...thumb up!!!!

...low sound...

LOWBURN
STONER/HEAVY ROCK
FINLAND

After a short hiatus from music Tomi Mykkänen and Henkka Vahvanen from Battlelore started jamming stuff together. Soon it was decided that they needed to form a band for the jams. Miika Kokkola (founding member and original bass player from Battlelore) was contacted and asked if he wants to jam with the guys. He did. They played and jammed a few times and then it was decided that second guitarist would not hurt. Miika said that he had already talked with Tommi Havo (another original Battlelore member) about the project and that he was very interested. So, enter Tommi and on the first rehearsal together the first real song was made. On the second rehearsal the second song was made and then it was realized that the band had born.
January 2013: Enter Soaring High EP. The band decided to record, mix and master a demo in their rehearsal place to see if it's possible to make an album like that. 7 songs were recorded and after the first mix it was clear that the quality is surprisingly good, so the band decided to release a strictly limited EP of four songs from the sessions. 5th song will be released as a video later. The EP showcases quite well the versatility and the musicianship of the band. It shows their sides from the pure stoner rock frenzy to the more doomier fields.
LOWBURN are currently looking for possible quarters to work with booking, album release and such. We'd be extremely interested to release a 7" from the EP or the extra songs we have ready. We are also getting ready for the album recordings as well.

"Another band from the northern part of this earth and as is almost always good...Lowburn create a punchy sound and have a lot of fuzzy groove parts in their song's.
Very interesting song structures and really much variety make it to the listeners really amazing mood. Finest Stoner Rock in ancient tradition like Dozer, Clutch, El Caco, Atomic Thunderpussy, Fu Manchu...get your own 4 track power album of LOWBURN and come in swinging..i hope i can hear soon more of this nice band!"

...pull the trigger...

TRIGGERMAN
STONER METAL
IRELAND

TRIGGERMAN are pleased to announce the release of their third album, “Hail To The River Gods”.
The band, from Derry ,N.Ireland release the album on June 1st 2012.
This album contains yet more examples of the band’s ability to fuse heavy riffs with aggressive grooves and huge choruses. Recorded in Einstein Studios, Antrim.N.I. ,the band were pleased to have Frankie McClay producing, as he did with 2010’s release, “Brand New Day”.
An album which gained TRIGGERMAN attention at both national and international level, METAL HAMMER called it, “a breath of fresh air to the genre” with CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE play listing the opening track, “The Riff Holds Sway”.
From the opener, “Rage of the Goddess” to closing track, “Blind Side of the Moon”, TRIGGERMAN have put together an album which continues with the band’s signature sound. Singer/Guitarist Bap says, “These new tunes sit well with our back catalogue. They sound great live as well as in the studio. We’ve tried some new ideas to keep it fresh, but it’s still TRIGGERMAN.”
Whether it’s the deep thick grooves of “Th’on Strange Brew” or the vicious attack of “Rise of the Woodsmen”, TRIGGERMAN have yet again delivered tunes riding on riffs of real quality. “Hail To The River Gods” delivers on all fronts.

...because everyone would go to church...

Doom/Sludge
Ireland


Weed Priest - 3 piece band based in Galway and Ennis, Ireland. They like
to call their music occult stoner doom but they hope not to be definable
by a particular genre. I think its Doom/Sludge and a littlebit of Noise....that's the Stonerhead's Justice. They have been working on their original material for
over 2 years and now they started to be more active with gigging and
looking for a record label to sign with.


11 songs available for download on this nice links down the text. The Demo includes "Final Spell, Thy Kingdom Gone, Sky Daddy". The other 8 songs are the unreleased bonus tracks for free on my site...enjoy this sick Occult/Doomshit.
