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.

LP version. Cosmic Awakening is the first offering ever released by Lord Elephant in its lifetime. Rather than concentrate themselves on other outputs, the band wanted to celebrate the long road made together as musician and human beings, that made as background in the progressive construction of this album, with a proper debut album, long in its creation as the band itself. Through the episodes of this journey, the trio experiences different moods and sounds on the path, sealing through the dreamy waves of space and acid rock towards the perilous reef of heavy blues, stoner, and sludge metal, finding strength and inspiration in the solid cohesion that bound the three members. Steady rooted in the metal, rock, and blues tradition, Cosmic Awakening tries to find a personal manner to melt heavy music and psychedelia, shadows and lights, with a focused starting point, but going to nowhere defined. Mixed and mastered at Audiovolt Studio in August/September 2021. Artwork and Layout by Coito Negato.

LP version. Neon purple vinyl. Nemesis Lately is the second full-length album released by Somnus Throne. This album is very much a continuation of their first album (Burning World Records, 2020), but with much more attention to detail, a further exploration of the depths of each niche within "doom", and a greater variety of sounds. Think just as much heaviness as the first album with less drone and more action. Nemesis Lately goes everywhere across the landscape of doom, stoner, heavy psych, and grunge from a welcoming kick in the teeth by a Motorhead-esque first track, through shades of Acid King, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Black Angels, The Melvins, Dead Meadow, High on Fire, The Sword, Electric Wizard, Dopelord, Black Pyramid all the way to a concluding track that strives at echoes of Led Zeppelin's acoustic prowess. It goes without saying that the entire album, and the entire Somnus Throne catalog in total, is never more than one decapitated bat away from Black Sabbath worship.

LP version. The year 2019 marked significant changes for Baltimore psychedelic-doom trio, Black Lung. Following the release of their third album, Ancients, guitarist and founding member Adam Bufano amiably departed the band and in November 2019, was replaced by guitarist Dave Fullerton. Just four months later, the reconfigured trio's plans for touring in support of Ancients were canceled as the world entered COVID-19 lockdown. In the existential dread, loss and uncertainty of the global pandemic, with the backdrop of malignant fascism and cultural enmity in the USA, Black Lung began writing the songs that would comprise their next record. There is no question that Dark Waves was conceived in hostile times. Dave Cavalier's lyrics reflect this hostility. Songs like "The Cog" and "Mad King" lament the weaponized ignorance of the propagandized American citizen, while "Awaken" and "The Path" muse on escapism and the false protection of dreams. Despite the apparent darkness, Dark Waves is not a cold or desolate sounding record. The band leaps forward from their previous releases with warmer, brighter sound crafting and more audacious songwriting. There are passages with a tangible sense of jubilation and excitement, as the band members revel in the recording process after more than a year of uncertainty and frustration. While in some ways Dark Waves offers a departure from prior Black Lung records, the band stays true to their roots in doom and psychedelic music, delivering eight songs packed with the frenzied, fuzzed-out guitar breakdowns, booming drums, and soulful vocals that longtime fans will appreciate. The decision to bring bass guitar prominently into the mix on Dark Waves adds new levels of depth and heaviness to Black Lung's songs. For fans of: All Them Witches, Queens of the Stone Age, The Flying Eyes.

Side A/side b yellow-black-blue double vinyl. 20th Anniversary remastered/remixed edition. Jalamanta has been re-mixed by Tony Mason, with a freshly baked re-master by John McBain at JPM Mastering, San Francisco. Cover photo by Sam Grant. Skull Modern Relics by Joe Herbick. Art direction by Ryan Jones. Layout by Branca Studio.
Brant Bjork: "Jalamanta was a life changing record for me. It's the record that launched my journey as Brant Bjork. Listening to the tapes 20 years later was amazing. Tony Mason and myself were transported back to that moment in time. Jalamanta was a first for both Tony and myself. My first record as a solo artist and his first record as an engineer. We didn't think twice about re-mixing it. With our combined experience over the years, we knew we could take Jalamanta to the place we always wanted it to go... and we did. Dig it."

LP version. Strange Machine, not just the title of the new Alunah album, but a summary of surviving the last two years. Written and rehearsed during the pandemic whilst overcoming numerous personal struggles, Strange Machine shows Alunah in their most diverse yet focused light. Returning to Foel Studio in October 2021 for the follow-up to their Heavy Psych Sounds debut with producer Chris Fielding, the nine tracks span the epic majesty of "The Earth Spins" featuring guest guitars from Shane Wesley (Crowbar), to the groove of "Dead Woman Walking". From the West Coast psychedelia of "Psychedelic Expressway" to the swagger of the title track, this is the sound of Alunah cutting loose and free. Welcome to the Strange Machine.

It's a rare band that finds its sound so engagingly, and with Stoned Blues Machine, the sixth Geezer album, they once again build on their accomplishments, working with producer Chris Bittner at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY, to harness the band's most expansive production to date. A vivid and bombastic album, Stoned Blues Machine is Geezer's response to the last few tumultuous years. Much of the subject matter deals with the fear, the literal and metaphorical isolation revolving around the pandemic, the resulting political turmoil, the disintegration of truth and decline of a shared, common good. The album, which serves as their second release for Heavy Psych Sounds, is yet another example of what can be done with classic songwriting in imaginative hands. Stoned Blues Machine puts the emphasis on the band's dynamic and the joy of playing and writing songs together -- more as a unit than ever -- and shows that even amid some of the darkest hours, you can always say screw it, go get high and cruise the cosmos.

Half of the original members of Kyuss: the lord of coolness Brant Bjork himself, and Rex Everything AKA Nick Oliveri former of Queens of The Stone Age. The dukes of the desert are back with an incredible sophomore album: Stöner -- Totally... is the perfect mix of desert swing, stoner rock, desert rock, and low punk all at once. Eight brand new tracks which will blow your mind, recorded by Yosef Sunborn who followed Brant in the last decade for his solo recordings. Mellow guitars, funky stoner rhythms, bluesy atmospheres, typical Nick's punky sounds. The album flies away in one single listen and makes you want to play it again immediately. Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri, founding members of the stoner rock legend Kyuss, are joined again by drummer Ryan Güt (of Björk's solo band) and they've got dibs on the thick and dusty swinging grooves, returning as Stöner with their sophomore release Totally... Stöner's love for their early inspirations (bands like Blue Öyster Cult, Kiss, Ramones, Blue Cheer, Misfits, Black Flag, The Stooges, MC5) result in big, groovy, sunbaked riffs that can cruise low and slow but then floor it and run all the red lights. Live, this is a band about the magnetism between the players, the groove, the loose vibe and straight up badass rock n' roll... Stöner are masters of their trade. With Totally... Stöner is in its true form, getting together and having fun. Stöner's world is a colorful joyride, heavy of rock but not of head. The record cranks with vibes of classic hard rock, heavy blues, desert rock and psych rock jams -- things that come organically to this trio. Stöner can't help but express an abundance of punk rock rawness and passion for real rock and roll swagger. With two records, Live at Mojave and Stoners Rule (HPS 176CD/LP/LTD-LP/S-LP/SPLAT-LP/TRAN-LP), the latest release Totally... sees the band realizing the chemistry of these old friends developing a statement of pure rock n' roll fun. Produced, recorded and mixed by Yoseph Sanborn and Stöner. Guest appearances on guitar by Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks) and Mario Lalli (Yawning Man). Grab a slice and crank it.
