Djiin - French Psychedelic-Prog Rockers Reveal Video For New Song "Blind"

French psychedelic/prog-rock collective Djiin have recently revealed a music video for a brand song of their forthcoming fourth full-length album "Mirrors" due out on May 3 via Klonosphere Records/Season of Mist.

Titled "Blind", this new video has premiered at Everything Is Noise, who commented "Sonically, “Blind” conjures elements of noise, doom metal, and psychedelia to create a spirited, sometimes challenging, sometimes frightening piece of art. It’s an intriguing composition to lead into what will be Djiin’s fourth full-length offering."

The follow-up to 2021's third album "Meandering Soul" was recorded, mixed and mastered by Peter Deimel at Black Box Studio and sees Djiin further honing their exciting and powerful blend of psychedelic stoner rock and 70's progressive rock. Written during the last four years by Chloé Panhaleyx (Vocals/Electric Harp), Allan Guyomard (Drums/Backing Vocals), Tom Penaguin (Guitar/Backing Vocals) and Charlélie Pailhes (Bass/Backing Vocals), "Mirrors" is full of powerful and fuzzy riffs, twisted beats, psychedelic melodies and vocal incantations that invites listeners to embark on transcendental and magical journey. The use of the electric harp in this “classic” rock line-up adds a unique and surprising sonority that accentuate the band’s mystic and ritualistic universe.

If you missed it, watch a music video for the title track at this location.

Djiin is a psychedelic stoner-rock band whose name is inspired by spirits and other beasts of the semitic beliefs and traditions. Influenced by 70’s progressive rock and krautrock bands, doom scene and heavy rock from the glory days of the early Sabbath, as well as other modern references based on the diversity between western and traditional eastern sounds, Djiin crafted a sound of their own, a truly captivating and other-worldly musical universe that will impress fans of Kadaver, Blue Pills and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats.

Burn In Hell Stream Entire New Album "Disavowal of the Creator God" Via Metal Sucks

Sydney’s metallic hardcore unit Burn In Hell are now streaming their entire second album ‘Disavowal Of The Creator God‘ ahead of the release date, this Friday, August 6th, on Reason and Rage Records. 

The full album is now streaming in full at Metal Sucks, who commented "Their new album, Disavowal of the Creator God, is unbelievably heavy, indescribably punishing, and exploding at the seams with animosity; it’s like the band listened to Converge, Xibalba, and Full of Hell, said “What is this weak-ass ballady shit?”, and kicked everything up twenty-five notches. This album could liquify your brain." 

Listen to "‘Disavowal Of The Creator God‘" here. 

If you missed it, the video for leading single "Bleach" is still playing at this location. 

Australian East Coast five-piece Burn In Hell first burst into the scene back in 2018 with their savage and chaotic debut LP “Humanity Plague”. Comprised of current and former members of Vice and Amends, they choose to stand up for their beliefs with lyrics that address social and political injustices crushing contemporary society and to this day this vision remains uncompromised. Drawing musical inspiration from hardcore and metal heavyweights such as Harms Way, Cult Leader and Converge, Burn In Hell have already carved out a name for themselves as one of the heaviest and most politically charged acts around. 

Vocalist Marcus Tamp comments: Growing up in the church you’re somewhat blinded and brainwashed to the true oppressive nature that comes from the governing bodies which trickles down to the local Christian communities. Over the past few decades, the majority of our countries Prime Minister have identified as Christian and have brought their Christian “values and morals” with them, further intertwining religion and state. A lot of this record focuses on the hypocrisy and disgusting postures held by the leaders of the corporate church and this country, and how we continuously build oppressive systems to further the divide making gender, queer and racial liberation almost impossible. 

Suncraft - Norwegian Stoner Rockers Share New Song "Lingo Hive Mind" Via Doomed & Stoned

Uprising Norwegian stoner rockers Suncraft have just shared another track from their forthcoming debut album "Flat Earth Rider" due out on August 6 via All Good Clean Records. 

Titled "Lingo Hive Mind" this new track is now playing at Doomed & Stoned, who commented “Lingo Hive Mind gives you a first-listen to now) comes with a boisterous start that threw me right into the mosh of the beat, like some hapless soul swept away by the ocean’s current. It’s an aggressive, yet quite jazzy start to the song. This is followed in quick succession by verses from front man/bassist Rasmus Skage Jensen, whose vocals are both clean and gruff as the humour insists." 

Listen to "Lingo Hive Mind" here. 

"Flat Earth Rider" was produced, mixed and mastered by Ruben Willem (The Good The Bad and The Zugly, Okkultokrati, Djevel, etc...) and features six unique tracks that show Suncraft combining elements from groovy stoner rock and riff-based heavy metal. 

Since late 2017, this Oslo-based quartet have played their fair share of club shows in the nooks and crannies of Norway, honing the craft of playing explosively energetic concerts. After releasing released their debut EP, "Saigon" in 2019, the live-performances abruptly ended due to Covid-19. Turning the blow of the pandemic into a positive, the boys put all their efforts into writing their debut album, "Flat Earth Rider" and as soon as the world is safe enough, Suncraft will hit the road again and bring their unique flavor of rock n’ roll to a growing audience.

Watch the video for "Exit Through Fire" here. 

 Recorded and mixed by Kim Lillestøl at Amper Tone Studios in Oslo, “Breach Us” is a gargantuan tour de force and a testament to man’s will to exert discipline and human direction to the universal powers of chaos. "Our goal at Amper Tone Studio was to set things up basically as we do on live shows." Says the band. "Facing each other, Marshall JCM 800 and Simms Watts 120 in stereo and a Ampeg 810 stack on full blast. Gibson Les Paul with 74 gauge strings and a couple of fun effect pedals and we are ready to go. We don't want to record anything that we can't perform live, but of course, we always get inspired during the recording process and “shit happens”. That is what makes this band special to us; with only two people there is always room for quick turnarounds and improvisation. We ended up recording the whole thing in about 48 hours." Pre-orders are now available at this location.

Nordic noise rock duo Barren Womb are now streaming their entire new full-length album ‘Lizard Lounge’, just one day ahead of its release tomorrow, March 22nd through Loyal Blood Records.

‘Lizard Lounge’ is now playing in full at Decibel Magazine, who commented “Lizard Lounge is being touted by the folks at Loyal Blood Records as “Quicksand meets Clutch meets Refused.” This is a decent start, but we’d implore you to not omit/forget about Melvins, Cows, Fugazi, Big Business, Rocket from the Crypt, Botch, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Torche and any number of bands from the AmRep and Gravity Records catalogues.”

Listen to ‘Lizard Lounge’ here.

“Trim the fat.” Said the band about the new album. “That was the unspoken mindset when we started writing Lizard Lounge. The resulting ten tracks are stripped of all pomp and frills, tightly focused instead around the essence of what this band is: pummelling drums, scathing guitars, deadly rhythms and strangely catchy melodies. We really left no cross unturned when digging around for these slabs of noisy weirdo rock. The title itself, part shadow government and part Hunter S. Thompson acid paranoia, reflects upon the waiting room all of us reptilian brained meat bags call home. Apathy, cancer, conspiracies, death, depression, destruction, diabetes, incels, rednecks and a sprinkling of meth – this album truly has it all.”

Norwegian Power Punk Rock Duo Hot Nuns Reveal New Song “Can’t Get Over You” Via Heavy Blog Is Heavy

Norwegian power punk rock duo Hot Nuns, featuring members of Blood Command, has recently shared another track off their forthcoming EP “Rude, Dumb & Anxious”, which is set for release this Friday, May 15th via Loyal Blood Records.

Titled “Can’t Get Over You”, this new track is now playing at Heavy Blog Is Heavy, who commented "Rude, Dumb & Anxious, is power punk goodness, full of blazing riffs, vocal harmonies, and just a whole load of fun.”

Listen to "Can't Get Over You" here.

Recorded at SpaceKraft, mixed and mastered by Simon Jackman and with artwork done by Robert Høyem, “Rude, Dumb & Anxious” features four new tracks including a cover of The Boys’ “First Time”.

The duo comments on the album. “The record is four tracks of stripped down punk rock. Its only drums, bass and our vocals. We have a rule that if we can’t play it live we can’t put in on record either. So there is no cheating here. Not trying to be pretentious, but we try to make music the same way Lars Von Trier made Dogville. No fancy extra layers needed to get the story across. The lyrics are mostly about sad losers longing for love except the title track «Rude, Dumb & Anxious» who is about people who will say whatever about stuff they don’t know just to fit in and look good.”
