[undergroundrockpress]

Dust: hard rock outfit formed in 1969 that released two albums (The firs one is HERE) Every single band member stayed in music and achieved success, sort of like a supergroup in reverse. Guitarist/vocalist Richie Wise went on to become a producer and engineer working with Kiss and produced records for Kama Sutra. Bassist Kenny Aaronson has played with Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, Billy Idol and many others. Marc Bell went on to play drums with Wayne County and Richard Hell. He joined The Ramones in 1978 and thus became Marky Ramone.

The Human Beast - Volume One

An underrated Heavy Prog album from 1970. Great songs, great sense of humour and a great cover of an Incredible String Band track.

GREEN LUNG are sad because not only did they miss the solstice celebration, but they're increasingly convinced that they're in the wrong place.

Stonehenge is definitely meant to be bigger than this.

They should have stopped to ask for directions. How many henges can there be, anyway?

The first person to mention Spinal Tap will have to walk home. Not having it. Not today.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

It’s the end of March already? Damn. Join me as I recap releases that slipped under the radar recently. 

NEW IN MARCH

Gentle Beast by Gentle Beast

Gentle Beast of Basel Switzerland put out their self titled album this month, and boy is it addictive. The second track, Joint Venture is a massive dose of heavy psych laced with manic energy and eye watering riffs. Greedy Man snarls and pounds its way under your skin with a searing guitar solo and attitude that won’t quit. Caterpillar injects a catchy hook into your bloodstream that you won’t be able to shake. Caution: album may cause fist pumping, head banging, and other uncontrollable movements. 🤘

Cold Mountain by Dhyana

If you have a weakness for drone metal like I do, then Louisiana’s Dhyana is just what the buddha ordered. The meditative sludge EP Cold Mountain was written under the influence of Japanese zen poetry. There are just two tracks, but each is a vast instrumental soundscape that evolves through time and space. Drop in and zone out with the twisting riff and hypnotic drum groove laid down in Sky Above, Great Wind. 

OTHER JUICY RELEASES FROM THIS QUARTER

El Rey Del Aquelarre by Santo Fuzz

I rarely cover singles, but there are two in this list that couldn’t be ignored. Santo Fuzz is conjuring up occult stoner doom in Silao, Mexico. El Rey Del Aquelarre, creeps in by candlelight, offering an old-timey horror vibe that’s sure to make the skeletons in your closet quake with delight. 

god by PVRS

Belgian postdoom duo PVRS single, god, is a sludgy beast. The song hits that elusive sweet spot; it’s bristling with hard edges, but melodic enough to sing along to. Looking forward to their full album, due out in September. 

Desde el Bosque by Moodoom

Buenos Aires doomers Moodoom brought us back to the 70’s with their album Desde el Bosque. The heady combination walking blues grooves and proto doom swagger have kept this album on heavy rotation at casa D&D. 

Pulse by Regulus

Sheffield heavy psych outfit Regulus released their latest album back in January, and honestly I’m surprised these fuckers aren’t already a household name. The songs on Pulse are gritty, groovy, and absolutely wipe the floor with your face. Lead singer Chloé Jolivel’s voice has a blues-rock bite that’s effortlessly cool. Contagion is a particular favorite, but let’s be honest— every single track rips. If you like your melodies soaked in gravelly blues and punctuated with epic guitar work, this album needs to be next in your playlist.
