Da Captain Trips – Alljamed (2010)

2010 Da Captain Trips Italy psychedelic rock stoner rock 6 Comments

“The name of the band is a tribute to the Stephen King’s saga “The Dark Tower”, the best fantasy story ever written. The Captain Trips is a powerful kind of flu that kill millions of people in the story…they don’t want to kill anybody…they only like how the name sounds… The songs are composed rigorously during the jam sessions, every practice is recorded so the best of every session is taken and elaborated. They always improvise during their shows and every show is recorded too, so listening to it, they can feel how the songs change, depending on the different places, different public and different atmosphere. The influences are too many to be mentioned…from the 60’s-70’s psychedelic rock to many instrumental bands of yesterday and today.”

“Pyrior started during the year 2008 as a musician’s community dedicated to jam-sessions. This jam-sessions result in a trio of a classic rock formation, Torsten Bass, Max Appeal – Guitar and Olin – Drums. The music of Pyrior is a round mix of stoner rock and heavy psychedellic rock in a cosmic haze. It burns like a Pulsar and floats in an atmospheric space.”

“El Diablo is a Mexican band which started playing hardcore, and then some psychedelic rock, they were inspired by bands such as PINK FLOYD,GURU GURU and TANGERINE DREAM to mention a few, they started making improvisations, and most of their early songs are instrumentals, with an obvious GONG influence and psychedelic sound… Their first self-titled album and the only one with a label is great, we can hear some Psychedelic rock and some symphonic passages with some great space effects.”

Gas Giant – Jam of the Month (2003)

2003 Denmark Gas Giant psychedelic rock stoner rock No Comments

“Gas Giant is a 3 piece rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their sound blends influences from classic rock acts of the ’60s and ’70s like The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath with a sound and attitude found in modern bands such as Kyuss and Monster Magnet… Their songs evolve organically during epic rehearsal jam sessions, but balance sledgehammer riffs with plenty of catchy hooks.”

Mammatus – Mammatus (2006)

2006 Mammatus psychedelic rock stoner rock USA 1 Comment

“Taking their name from the heaviest cloud found on our home planet, Mammatus harness instruments and amplifiers with the brave intent of transforming the natural beauty and massive fury that lies in the earth into acoustic energy. Using crude, self taught methods of instrumentation, they bang away for long periods of time employing ridiculously heavy riffs paired with harrowing widdly wah your face off guitar wankery, brain bending electric noodling, and ogre-esque drum bashing.”

The Heads – Dead in the Water (2005)

2005 psychedelic rock stoner rock The Heads UK 16 Comments

“In the early 90’s, in a back street garage somewhere in Bristol, Simon, Hugo, Wayne and founding member Dave Spencer would jam for hours and then retire to Simons house for tea and a ‘chat’ until we could barely communicate. These were happy days and we really didn’t give a fuck about anything other than getting in that garage, away from the scum outside, and turning those amps up to 11.”

Khmury – Live in Avant (2010)

2010 Khmury psychedelic rock Russia stoner rock 1 Comment

“Instrumental set than soon yields to a decelerating passage than recalls the Twin Peaks theme, deliberately or not, lightly enough that it owns the musical passage but also with enough atmosphere to put you straight into the surreal headspace of Lynch’s pine forests complete with a chilly tension… swirl, pummel, soar and pound past in a pretty triumphant mix of post-rock and a range of harder stuff that feels good to bang your head into… sound of an overdriven amp and the most guttural Sabbath worshipping punishment capable of being dealt out by the band, with more of that savage lead guitar work crawling and scrawling across it’s face… hyperblast cosmic carnage, taking in some classic rock riffs, fills and some bad-ass basslines, all captured crystal clear off the desk and synched to perfection.”

Comets On Fire – Blue Cathedral (2004)

2004 Comets On Fire psychedelic rock stoner rock USA 3 Comments

“Comets on Fire are psychedelic rock band that have a heavy emphasis on the ‘rock’ part of the equation… At this point they sounded like noisy proto-metal, heavily influenced by The Stooges, MC5, Black Sabbath, and Hawkwind… Their music is very jam based and loose but it rarely meanders and gets boring. They also use the echoplex frequently, adding to their spacey sound. Any fans of space rock, especially Hawkwind and Acid Mothers Temple, should give Comets on Fire a try. Those who want some trippy prog rock, but with a powerful drive and sludgy riffs should also apply.”
