...electric heat and a house in my aquarium...


presents

Heat and House of Aquarius...two really hot band's with really big cojones...listen...

listen to it here

The Eleventh House, The House Of Aquarius, is the house of group creative expressions. It is the desire to pool and merge the time, efforts and resources of the individual with those of the larger society in order to create something new for the benefit of everyone. Enhancement of the polity overwhelms the desire for self-aggrandisement, the walls of Ego come tumbling down and the individual communes with the totality of the species.
House Of Aquarius was a Swedish band that saw the light of day in 2001. Jamming on a few ideas guitar player Thomas Eriksson brought to the table led to a three song demo that was set free to explore the world. A bunch of pretty nice reviews, airplay and some label interest came out of that demo and shortly resulted in one more demo. Daredevil Records suggested an album release and the band thought it sounded like a good idea and recorded the album in 2002.

The album was released in 2003 and followed by two shorter tours in Sweden and in Germany. The first press of the album was sold out within a short time period while the band was writing and recording for a new album. One song, “Awaiting The Sunrise” found its way on to a compilation released by Daredevil Records, Burn The Streets Volume IV. To release a song in the company of such great acts as Mastodon, Entombed, Alabama Thunderpussy and others, was a great experience for the new, relatively unknown, band, especially since their doomy waltz, on the compilation, was noticed and praised by several critics.
Unfortunately the band couldn’t find a way to make ends meet with music, work, bills, life situations and general costs. This led to a last minute cancellation of a tour and sort of drained the energy out of the project.
10 years later, the album “The World Through Blodred Eyes” is re released by Electric Magic Records. This time on limited vinyl formats, probably the only proper way to enjoy this fuzzy-retro-rocking-four piece from Sweden.

"Awesome and powerfull voice combinated with a rank guitar sound mixed with nice rhytms...sometimes like DOZER or CLUTCH...my absolutely favourite song "UNHOLY"...this song will go down in history and hopefully soon there will be a tour to...House of Aquarius rock's!!!"

The guys in HEAT have been around in several bands for the last years, among them names like The Hara-Kee-Rees or Samsara Blues Experiment. So you bet they definitely know how to rock out and roll over with their hefty dose of 70s Rock. And there´s no need to become nostalgic. It is 2012 and they´re here to stay with an energetic Blues-drenched mixture of early Sabbath, Zeppelin, Jerusalem, whatever... Pull a name from your Classic Hard Rock collection, they have it all.

...huuuh...



TRUC
ACID ROCK
ITALY

TRùC (which means "Trick", in friulan minority language) hails from Udine, North-East of Italy.
Formed by the rhythm session of a long but unlucky musical adventure (Egnog) with the help of one historical pillar of the Pordenones' Crossover Scene.
Existing since less than a year, they put together what is their first effort, a sstrange and singular blend of their own influences, without following this or that genre, trying to "keep it personal".
What you can witness, is the loyalty to rock and roll, in all its propagation.
Their songs are in 3 languages (friulan minority language, broken english, and itaglian), and the lyrics are based on lived-life histories. They kick off sometimes instrumentals because there's nothing to say, sometimes.
The records names "Curt", which means "Short", (which was released september 1st)
 shows the singular artwork of young but promising paintress Elena Chiandussi, which illustrates perfectly the various changes of mood of the friulan outfit.
They like to sweat during live shows.
The CD is a proud d.i.y. product, and is sold at a really low price at their shows, or on request, and it's also distributed by MUSICHE FURLANE FUARTE, the indie label specialized in music sung in friulan minority language and owned by a hystorical radio station broadcasting in friulan, RADIO ONDE OFURLANE.

"...the first impressions was not exactly stunning but in the running time the album showed their cards...so it was possible to find some song's...with whom I could start something...for example "Piccola Intro Marziale" or "Pierdisi"...the other song's aren't not bad but for me it was to simple and reminds me on highschoolrock...form your own opinion"

...bloody tunes...


What the Blood Revealed
Instrumental Stoner Metal
Scotland

What the Blood Revealed is an instrumental rock band from Irvine on the West Coast of Scotland. We came together in 2004 and have created a sound that’s drawn comparison with such giants of the leftfield as Isis, Neurosis and Mogwai. We find our inspiration in science, and the truths it reveals.
We have released two well received EPs which have found their way to friends in 5 continents and we released our album “Harbour of Devils” on Field Records in 2012. We’ve recently shared stages with great bands like Kylesa, This Will Destroy You, Maybeshewill, Crippled Black Phoenix, Storm of Light and many more.




...getthat fine stuff on bandcamp...something for free here

“If you are even a casual fan of ISIS, Red Sparowes, Neurosis, and Mogwai then you will love this guy's... big walls of sound and such a captivating mood in the song's...enjoy "What the Blood Revealed" buy their albums, and visited their show's otherwise you miss something. Stonerhead has spoken!!!"

...the grass is green...

GRASS
Stoner/Doom
SPAIN

There's no doubt Rock is going through one his most sweet and sour times. Old rockers are dying, people steal the art of distortion and swank of it, and the venues fail because of the languish demand of Rock.

In front of this sad panorama, the most incredible thing is that more than ever, there's a whole generation commited to guitar and drums; new music is created, more labels are emerging and a small redoubt sticks loyal to the sound of a plugged in LesPaul.

GRASS is part of this generation.

GRASS is only 5 more people willing to move their asses, meet people, get in the van for unfinishing hours, bad eating, listen to Motörhead as loud as our health allows and applaud every human being moving and singing in the crowd.

Globalization and modern life made posible to us having a wide range of influences, with no specific order: Led Zeppelin, tobacco, Black Sabbath, Ron & Cola, the pengüins, Bar Angel in Masnou town, Kim Jong Il, Jimi Hendrix, Sheer Terror, Clint Eastwood, mate herb….

On grey days, GRASS wants color.

 "When you look at this great coverart you think you will hear soon a standard stoner band but its a real blast of good choice...they create their own sound and kicks ass...enjoy this first four track demo of freshest and juiciest green grass...
