One of the fattest releases of 2009 is MWVL's Narcotica From Golgotha. This Dutch rockband is not easy to describe, but let's say this one is not for the faint hearted. These kick-ass riffs, thunderous drums and Robbie Hooker's vicious, strong voice will not dissapoint you. Cyco's only!
Hailed as the new Super Group, Them Crooked Vultures has to live up to high expectations. Luckily, Josh Homme, John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl rock hard on this one. Just take a listen and see for yourself.
The Atomic Bitchwax is a cool, heavy boogie trio from New Jersey. These guys mix ZZ Top, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath in their very own way. Give this one more than one spin, it's a grower.
Candybar Planet was - if I recall correctly - a nineties stoner band from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Saw them live a couple of times back then (a.o. Dynamo Open Air) and they definitely had a Kyuss vibe. On 32 Bitch there's a lot of cool & fuzzy riffin'.
High On Fire is one of the most intense riffing rock trio's I have ever come across. Ungodly loud, tough as nails and blablabla. Just listen to this album and bow for these guys.
Check out the instrumental riff-rock by this diabolic trio. Karma To Burn's best album shows an ability to groove hard, but with dynamics and atmosphere. These boys will be making their onstage comeback this summer.
Dopesmoker, the legend... Their label wouldn't release this record, which is a 63-minute (!), psychedelic, drone-doom track. It was released thru Tee Pee Records in 2003, 5 years after the band broke up. What a trip Dopesmoker is.
