Guitarist Eddie Glass and drummer Ruben Romano formed Nebula in 1997 after breaking away from desert rock pioneers Fu Manchu, eventually recruiting bassist Mark Abshire. The power trio specializes in feedback-drenched heavy rock, incorporating liberal doses of Black Sabbath riffery, psychedelia, and space rock. The band released a number of EPs before moving onto full-length albums like 1999's To the Center and 2001's Charged. They've mainly distinguished themselves as a very hard-working live unit Nebula creates pure guitar-driven, conscious expanding rock for the 21st century. They are a culmination of their rock forbearers such as Jimi Hendrix, MC5, The Stooges, and Mudhoney turned up a notch, taken to the next level, and blasting through space. Nebula spread their gospel through their music and what they are preaching will leave the congregation on the floor. In 2017 the band decided to reissue three of their crucial early works via Heavy Psych Sounds Records: 1998's Let it Burn, 1999's To the Center, and 2002's Dos EPs, which includes the material originally released on 1999's Sun Creature and a Nebula/Lowrider split. Followed by the re-release of Nebula's Charged and the special release of Demos & Outtakes '98-02 in early 2019, this summer and after 13 years will be seeing the band return with not only a new line-up but also their brand new full-length, a news that will definitely make every desert rock-heart beat faster.

Psychosis Ritual is the sum of Mountain Tamer's first decade of exploration into the psychedelic arts. The album takes the band on a journey through the occult rhythms and tones of worlds forgotten. Each track is a new chapter of Mountain Tamer riffing their way into uncharted territory. For this ritual, you are the sacrifice... Mountain Tamer is Andru Hall (guitar/vocals), Casey Garcia (drums), and David Teget (bass). Psychosis Ritual was recorded and mixed by Salem's Bend guitarist Robert Parker, with mastering by Mike Tarsia at Sigma Sounds Studios. This recording is the most cohesive and lucid experience Mountain Tamer has yet to offer. The album artwork by photographer Dillon Vaughn and tattoo artist Derek Pratt only adds to the singular vision of Psychosis Ritual by providing beautifully lysergic visuals that are inseparable from the music itself.

LP version. Half & half black/red vinyl. Heavy Psych Sounds present a reissue Mondo Generator's Dead Planet, originally released in 2006. With Dead Planet, Nick Oliveri has taken a band once considered a side project and turned it into a full-fledged rock and roll powerhouse. As has been his trademark when he had written songs with Kyuss or Queens of the Stone Age, this album just oozes with punk rock ethos. Combined with the stoner rock influences that he helped create, this album is a study in excess and self-indulgence.

LP version. Red and white vinyl. Heavy Psych Sounds present reissue of Mondo Generator's Cocaine Radio, originally released in 2000. Prior to the formation of Queens of the Stone Age, bassist/singer Nick Oliveri recorded some originals with ex-Kyuss bandmates Josh Homme (guitar) and Brant Bjork (drums), plus Karma To Burn's Rob (drums) and others. But once recording was completed, Oliveri decided to shelve the tapes; it wasn't until several years later (well after Queens of the Stone Age began to establish themselves) that the bassist decided to release the songs on a friend's indie label, Southern Lord Records. Going by the name Mondo Generator, 11 tracks were compiled for the 2000 release Cocaine Rodeo. The majority of the songs are much more raw and hardcore/punk-based than Oliveri's output with QOTSA, as evidenced by such tracks as "Shawnette", "Uncle Tommy", "Unless I Can Kill", and "I Want You to Die".

RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2020
Light The Dankness is the latest Belzebong album. The release, which is vocalized only with periodic samples, is nonetheless able to convey its sensibilities not only through its titles, but through the bare riffs and grooves themselves. "Pot Fiend" rounds out side A with nine-and-a-half minutes of filthy swing, pitting slow-motion shuffle and massive riffing against each other and seeing who wins en route to its final crash and fading feedback, and another sample begins "Doperganger" on side B. The second half of Light The Dankness is longer than the first, with "Doperganger" at nearly eight minutes and "Roached Earth" at 12 minutes flat, but the method is largely the same: Riff unto oblivion. "Doperganger" picks up the tempo somewhat from "Pot Fiend" in a kind of winding central progression born of a dirtied-up Sleep influence, but they tool around with it effectively throughout and seem to explore the reaches where the song might go, a solo arriving after five minutes in just as the song seems to start tearing itself apart. A longer sample emerges as they pull it back together and trash their way into a stretch of silence preceding "Roached Earth".

Black Rainbows are back, delivering 12 fresh tunes on Cosmic Ritual Supertrip. Recorded and produced by Fabio Sforza, who was also behind the previous album Pandaemonium (HPS 073CD/LP/D-LP/LTD-LP/Y-LP, 2018), Cosmic Ritual Supertrip has a monolithic force; guitars, drums, and bass are all glued together to give the listener a punch in the face. This album gets its magic power from mixing together a '70s attitude with a doom-occult and stoner rock sound in a masterful way. One can count a bunch of singles, such as "Isolation" and "Master Rocket Power Blast", as well as a couple of doomy songs like "Universal Phase" and "Saacred Graal" and also more catchy tunes like "Radio 666" and "At Midnight You Cry". This is the eighth album by the band and perhaps the best so far. Recorded at Forward Studios in Rome on a huge Neve desk, it includes amazing artwork, by Robin Gnista, matching in its entirety the album's musical concept.

LP version. Red transparent vinyl. Melancholic and mysterious, but at the same time strangely familiar. Combining surreal soundscapes with a distinct sixties-style songwriting, Emile's psychedelic loner folk debut comes together like a weird dream. A dream that shows a side of reality, too strange to observe in any other way. Driven by acoustic guitar and haunting arrangements, the frontman of The Sonic Dawn presents a unique backdrop, on which songs about death, life, loss, and fear of growing old melt together with a dystopian look into the near future of our civilization.

LP version. Limited edition yellow vinyl. Heavy Psych Sounds present a reissue of Brant Bjork's Punk Rock Guilt, originally released in 2008. Punk Rock Guilt is the sixth solo album by the stoner rock musician Brant Bjork. The former Kyuss/Fu Manchu/Queens of the Stone Age skins man Brant Bjork has always liked to keep fans guessing during his lengthy solo career. With constantly rotating musical styles -- to the point where the psychedelic musician is spacier than Nebula -- pinning down his next move is virtually impossible. Maintaining that same unpredictability, Punk Rock Guilt is a collection of eight tracks that step right back to his desert rock beginnings. Punk Rock Guilt is the missing link between the Fu and pre-stardom Queens. Produced by Dave Raphael. Recorded and mixed December 2005 By Dave Raphael at Glide On Fade Studios N.J. Mastered by Dave Collins Los Angeles, CA. Cover art by Dirty Donny Gillies. 100% analog recording.

Enter the Mirage is arguably the most blazing and powerful album yet by The Sonic Dawn. It has an unusual live feel for a studio album, packing much of the raw energy and electricity that has made The Sonic Dawn's psychedelic concerts famous in the rock underground. Enter the Mirage's overall theme is freedom. It is about visions that may seem too distant to be real, but only those who take the trip will ever really find out. Frontman, Emil Bureau, explains the album's inception: "First I lost my father, then I lost my job and finally I lost my will to be a servant of anything that isn't peace, love, and freedom. It should be simple, but in this world it isn't. Instead of getting back on the so-called career path, which is generally a dead end, I took a leap of faith, with the band's support." Bureau spent half a year in a songwriting frenzy, spawning not only Enter the Mirage by The Sonic Dawn, but also a solo album in the folk genre (HPS 126CD/LP/LT-LP). To give form to these song ideas, the Danish trio rented a space in the gloomiest part of Copenhagen, set up a studio there and rocked out for two months. You hear that roughness, present as a determined attitude from a tightly knit band. With three past albums and some 200 shows under their belt, The Sonic Dawn is a psychedelic group to be reckoned with. However, at the end of their long and laborious creative process, the band was completely broke. Fortunately, friend and former producer, Thomas Vang, allowed them to mix the album in The Village Recording at night, after his own sessions. Thanks to this, and a skillful mastering by Hans Olsson Brookes (Graveyard, et al.) Enter the Mirage puts the HIGH back in high fidelity. Turn up the volume and experience The Sonic Dawn. LP versions available on standard black vinyl and limited-edition blue vinyl.
