Awesome bands playing at awesome locations?

When people consider the things they'd do when they win the lottery, they always think about houses, super cars and luxury holidays. 

I think about Electric Wizard (original line-up + Liz ofc) live at Stonehenge.

That and Sunn 0))) at Chislehurst Caves - god damn. Let's make it happen Camelot.

 

Purification - 1455

This kicks so much arse, total Reverend Bizarre stomp and it kills. 

Quite easily one of the freshest Doom Metal bands in what feels a long time. The Cromwell theme works well and the music has a real interesting and purposeful sloppy feel to it.

Awww yeah. Enjoy.

Meth Drinker - Discography

I don't post here very often at all. But this one was easy and instant for me to put forward to you. Possibly some of the best sludge ever produced in my humble opinion. The self titled was on heavy rotation back when it came out in 2014... and here it is for free and remastered (ridiculous). 

Even more ridiculous, the 2nd album is also free: Meth Drinker - Oil.
Perfect soundtrack for the continuing shite of 2021.

Steinsopp - Steinsopp

It's taken me so long to get around to posting this band that they've gone ahead and released a follow-up record before I got to posting about their self titled. I've always been a Dead Meadow fan who really got hooked in because of how they played with the inspiration of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter for a vibe and sound? Well imagine this same kind of thing but built around a more drugged out, hard rock format and you have Steinsopp. 

Also bad ass painted artwork is always a winner?
Who ain't sick of photoshop?

Spelljammer - Inches From the Sun

It would be pretty absurd if even during Corona lockdown I didn't get round to posting. But I will get my excuse in early as I have been working thorough out - which I consider none other than a blessing by the way.

Whilst browsing around checking for bands I'd liked and whether or not they had a new release, I noticed that some bands were hosting their earlier endeavours for free. This happens to be one of those records. If you want some sort of seal of approval about just how good this record is, I'll keep it simple: RidingEasy Records pressed it on vinyl, for the first time, seven years after it was first released! If that isn't a sufficient endorsement for you, well, what can I say.

Their sound falls into the old "stoner doom" adage. The riffs are unmistakably heavy and really do fall into the doom category. The weird thing about Spelljammer is they're kinda Kyuss, kinda Electric Wizard but definitely neither? And simultaneously the "weird" thing about it is, their sound isn't anything unorthodox, just straight forward well executed stoner doom. Either way, this ultimately under plays the quality of the release. Listen to it for yourself!
