CRIMSON STONE


CRIMSON STONE is a rock band formed in 2005. Bob (Guitars & Vocals) recorded some songs at his home studio the same year and they became the first demo: SATAN IS IN LOVE WITH STONER ROCK. When Fred (Bass & Backing Vocals) listened to those tracks, he told Bob: “Hey dude, it’s time to rock”. A few months later, Sam (drums) joined the band. In 2008 they edited their first long play: “From Hell They Came” which had very good reviews by the media.

Here you can find what the band is; A PURE HARD ROCK MACHINE!

Thalamus - Subterfurge (2011)

"After a great debut release in 2008, and some lineup changes since then, the Thalamus returned to release a new album in 2011, Labour won the name "Subterfurge" and has even showing up recently in our top list albums of 2011.

Here is the Thalamus band shows a much more willing to try new sounds have not yet visited by the band, on the first track on the disc, in the dark "Mary Blues Intro" we face a blues, as well as the name implies, the emphasis this track is the main vocal, very similar to the legendary leader of the grunge band Screaming Trees, Mark Lenagan. Since the matter came in grunge, the Thalamus explores a bit of style in the next track, "Bring Down Mary."

"When Gobblins Cheer" is the third track, and then the weight of seventies hard rock comes to the disk in a raw and intense band that surrounds a good beginning for the "Subterforge." That feeling once in a sacrament "Blind" and rhythm full of groove. After a good beginning is now time to see the profit in this case, a very hard compound. As in his first work, the Thalamus can make the best of the simple, unadorned but showing other jurisdiction in knowing how well it all in good songs".

Just simply one of my recently found Faves! Another HUGE thank you to the Stoner Capital of Sweden!!!

Spartakiev


Introducing SPARTAKIEV! A new four piece rock outfit from Holland and yet again not surprisingly so, yet another fine release from the Country that seems to keep breeding great and serious rock n roll outfits! I stumbled across this band whilst researching through the never ending gems over at Bandcamp.

Spartakiev whilst not playing anything new, surprise me with their incredibly glowing sounds that send me back to the late 90's to early 00's. Where Stoner rock was somewhat peaking and loads of great bands kept putting out amazing records! Spartakiev hail in this area think, the punk like vibes of Demoncleaner, The Rawness of early Dozer, Dern Rutlidge and the sometimes jazz, surf elements of Fatso Jetson and you have a pretty good feeling as to what you are getting yourself into.

This 6 track demo/ep depending on what intent it's for is a classy introduction record with enough swings to make you not get bored and enough grooves to keep you wanting more. Tracks like "One " Oozes that classic stoner feeling, we all came to dig and love with dozer like vocals and chunking bass lines and classic raw blues with enough bite to keep it on that nice heavy side yet not at all being too heavy. "Swing a Swung" heads down the muffled down tuned road and reminds me to some degree of the earlier desert sessions stuff that was done on, say volumes 1 & 2!

"Daemons", see's "Spartakiev" get down to business a truly kick ass song and a real eye opener to what this band is about! Vocals on this track are seriously nailed, the chorus is so catchy with spoken word like haunts and crushing punk styled riff layer behind it! Again nothing new, but the wheel sometimes doesn't need to be reinvented, to enjoy good old fashioned stoner rock and roll!

Brand New Sin


"When a band follows in the tradition of legends like Iron Maiden, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath and powers its rock with three guitarists it ends up sounding like Motorhead after a fist fight with Down and Corrosion Of Conformity. Hailing from Syracuse, once considered the straight edge, hardcore capitol of the world, Brand New Sin features former members of the critically acclaimed metalcore band Godbelow. Thanks to its masculine riffs and brawny vocals, Brand New Sin could easily redefine Syracuse as a town that produces solid, blue-collar rock bands, as opposed to manufacturing samey moshcore. Brand New Sin, named after what the band describes as the "birth of something bad and the epitome of gluttony," formed when Godbelow wanted to go in a new direction. Since Godbelow embodied a specific type of reputation, the band decided to change their name in accordance with their new sound. BNS now resembles a mesmerizing amalgam of sludgy, dirt-under-the-fingernails, calloused skin rock and down home, southern style blues".
Joe Altier - Lead Vocals
Slider - Guitar/Vocals
Chuck Kahl - Bass
Kris Wiechmann - Guitar
Ken Dunham - Guitar

STARTRUCKERS


"A heavy riff, a rock’n roll pulse, a warm wind dry as a burning stone under the Texan sun. This is the sound of Startruckers: dirty Southern Rock music, emerged from the 90’s. Here, it’s not about tight jeans, spikes or emo fringes: it’s just a good old powerful sound, fed with Stoner, Grunge and Jack Daniel’s. With members from the coolest bands on the French Riviera (Dismo, Artefact, Ghostfather, and The Cactus Rodeo) who were fed up with making concessions, and who wanted to do just one thing: play their own music, together, old school style, to prove to everyone that the 90’s rock hard! Startruckers will kick your ass, dude"!

American Witch - Burn the Crow 2011

Got a really cool message from a new friend on Facebook (through "Porthole to Stoner Rock") saying that he really digs my little blog here!!! Thanx very much to Andrew & his Boyz. Since I pretty much have to put labels on things for TAG purposes around here, Andrew & his Boyz ROCK by the name of AMERICAN WITCH & they are to me an awesome train chuggin' Stoner/Sludge/Metal band that is a very catchy act to be reckoned with indeed!!! If you're a fan of Pantera,Down or C.O.C., but are more into the Hard-Rockin' & Riff Orientd stuff, then these guys are definately what you want & we just might be sticking to our "Stoner Vein". That's what Bob so loves to support here on the blog. Good luck to AMERICAN WITCH with Burn the Crow in a truly tough industry to be in war with! Thank God for the underground fans that know exactly what they love & what they're looking for! So no matter what the future holds, AMERICAN WITCH is very welcome here!!!
-Bob

"Formed in Northern CA. in 2010, American Witch is set to release their debut album 'Burn The Crow' mid October 2011 and will be available online via the American Witch online store at american-witch.com, iTunes, AmazonMP3, and many more various online distribution sites. There is no label for this band. Their influences range from Skynyrd to Corrosion of Conformity, from Black Sabbath to Pantera, and are proudly worn on their sleeves. This band is not about conforming to trends or being commercially accepted. Artistic and musical freedom was the mind set from conception....."

These guys are a real "Southern Fried Treat" from L.A. That's right, I said California!? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of literature on these fellas however their Bio simply states "Three incredibly handsome men from New Hampshire playing loud blues-tinged rock". The first track Medicine, is in my opinion, one of the best "Southern/Stoner" tunes of ALL TIME!!!...thinkin' Raging Slab meets Blackfoot meets.............

Palm Desert - Discography


Palm Desert from Poland and there is no surprise to see such a talented band from that region. It has been sometime listening to a good Stoner doom with variety .
Ostensibly this is some sort of sludge/stoner/doom metal and superficially it bears a passing resemblance to many of the great sludge/stoner doom albums, but there are subtle differences. Palm Desert is far more heavier, both in sound and atmosphere. Franek's vocals flow very well with Jajo’s guitars and it is a great combination. The individual instruments congeal into a lumbering, lurching monster, monolithic in both heaviness and intensity. The drums pound; the bass drum is full, low and thick, while the crash and ride are near constantly ring-war drums. The drums usually take the last seat as they are bit monotonous for this music most of the time and same holds good here.

Unida


Coping with the Urban Coyote is the sole official release of Unida, the second post-Kyuss project featuring John Garcia, crunchier and more energetic than ever. What can you expect from a short lived band whose primary claim to fame is that the vocalist used to be in Kyuss? Unida delivers everything, especially riffs, they‘re fat, loud, and memorable. The Rhythm section is downright masterful, with some especially inspiring bass portions, and as for the voice of desert rock himself? If anything, Garcia’s voice has aged with style. In the 4 years since the breakup of Kyuss, he’s developed a fuller tone, with better expression and much more confidence. Tracks like “If Only Two”, and “Human Torpedo” feature a grittier, tougher Garcia, and a downright pounding rhythm.
The rhythm section delivers two downright monstrous performances in “If Only Two” and “You Wish”, and then a bunch of other solid backings in the other 6 tracks. The most remarkable thing about “Coping with the urban coyote” is that there isn’t a weak track to be seen. Even some of the best metal albums have the unnecessary ballad or the space-wasting filler. Unida has no need for such crutches. Being that It's referenced for both it’s stellar vocal performance and the quality of the rhythm section.
