Mississipi Bones - Tracks (2012)

Image
Another oldie here at Stonerobixxx, Ohio's Mississippi Bones. "With the release of their follow up, “Tracks,” Mississippi Bones once again take you on a trip you won’t soon forget. Armed with a barrel full of massive riffs and sharp tongued lyrics, the Bones will soak your soul with rock n roll and leave you reminded why rock is right".   "Tracks" is a filthy, groovy piece of hard hitting blues rock. Think Fireball Ministry, The Company Band, Five Horse Johnson, Down,... but with a more direct, accessible sound. Mississipi Bones is a band that gives you exactly what you would expect, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The perfect soundtrack for a good ol' Southern bar brawl. This thing rocks, the dirty heavy kinda way. Check it out, support these guys, leave a shout . mississippibones.bandcamp.com Physical needs: CD Baby / Amazon MP3@320Kbps Download or Download 2

American Witch - Burn The Crow Promo (2011)

Image
American Witch is a fresh band from California, following in the footsteps of Pantera, COC, Down & Crowbar. I'm usually not too fond of this type of music (read: Southern/ groove metal) but I think American Witch delivers some really good tracks on this promo. "Dirt" has to be my favorite. From the songwriting to the crunchy production, everything is really polished & heavy as a brick. Strickly for the fans of the genre; Groovy, pumping Southern metal that will get you headbanging like a motherfucker. Physical needs/ merch: american-witch.com MP3@320Kbps Download or Download 2

Planet Of Zeus - Macho Libre (2011)

Image
With 'Macho Libre', Planet of Zeus takes their sound to the next level. It's refined with a dirty bottle of whiskey, a little more accessible and still rocks like hell. Better songwriting, great production & an interesting take on the usual stoner/ hard rock we all know. 'Heavy hard rock with some sludge and NOLA mixed in? How about Crowbar, Down, Pantera and Clutch rolled into one? Sure why not. Would it work? Well Planet of Zeus tried it and guess what? It works and works well. Where would you think this awesome sound cones from? Georgia? Nope. Portland? Guess again. Give up?

Planet Of Zeus - Eleven The Hard Way (2008)

Image
Fat 'n solid stoner grooves from Greece. Planet Of Zeus creates their own bluesy sound, taking influences from classic stoner rock (Kyuss, Fu Manchu) to dirty whiskey fueled southern metal (Down, Fireball Ministry). A kick-ass rifftastic 4-piece with lots of energy and another win for the Greek stoner metal scene.. 'Eleven The Hard Way' is the band's debut album, released in 2008 on Casket records . myspace.com/planetofzeusgr Physical needs: ATIH / Casket records MP3@320Kbps Download or Download 2

Iron Witch - Single Malt (2011)

Image
Five piece from Liverpool, UK. These guys sound like the lost tapes of Eyehategod, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Happens all the time in these genres, if something is really fucking good you just make it again from another perspective. In this case, I'm speaking about the nasty Southern sludge that melts our speakers. If you love bands like Eyehategod, Sourvein, Iron Monkey, Buzzov•en, Grief,.. you should add 'Single Malt' to your collection. "The foundation of this rotten sludge, is the riff worship of bands like Black Sabbath, Sleep and St Vitus, with the influence of Black Flag sitting underneath, to give that nihilistic air, and fog of feedback, that permeates most of Eyehategod’s output. This is the soundtrack to alligator wrestling in a Louisiana swamp, cheered on by a mob of whisky-fuelled reprobates." ironwitch.bandcamp.com witchhunterrecords.com Physical needs: ironwitch.bigcartel.com MP3@320Kbps Download or Download 2

Second Gear Grind - Grayscale (2010)

Image
'The Long awaited second EP from Christchurch, New Zealand's Second Gear Grind 'Grayscale' has been released with three brand new tracks of seventies-esque, dark and painfully heavy rock. "Fans of Kyuss and Down will not be disappointed with this. Second Gear Grind immediately fuse elements of '70 and '90s rock almost seamlessly - there is nothing force here. Dirty rock'n'roll... It's nothing if not rousing."

Second Gear Grind - Fistful Of Silver (2008)

Image
Powerful Southern fueled stoner/doom from Christchurch, New Zealand. For those who dig the grooves of Blind Dog, Down, COC, Burden,.. 'Over the last few years Second Gear Grind has gained a reputation for playing loud and spirited live shows down the length of New Zealand, with an array of bands, seeking to further exposure throughout the country but also across the Tasman as part of an ever growing link between New Zealand and Australian rock bands.

Five Horse Johnson - Fat Black Pussycat (1999)

Image
One amongst many favorites, putting up 3 albums (also requested in recent comments). Some basic wiki info: 'Five Horse Johnson is an American blues-rock band, formed in 1995 from Toledo, Ohio. Although far from a household name, they have toured with such popular groups as Clutch and Halfway to Gone. The band combines hard rock, blues and other influences into a blend of stoner rock/blues music they call their own. Their latest album The Mystery Spot featured many special guests including drummer Jean-Paul Gaster from Clutch; on a related note they have just finished a worldwide tour with Clutch and Dub Trio.'

Gozu - Locust Season (2010)

Image
'Seems like they came out of nowhere, and no, that’s not a slag on Boston. I just mean it seems like the four-piece formed in 2008 and got signed to Small Stone almost right off the bat. Now they’re finally giving the public a taste of their riffily metallic wares with Locust Season, offering a bit of East Coast aggressive crunch with the swaggering rock. It’s their first full-length, obviously, and as an introduction, it is driven with some surprisingly individual flourishes that add character to the songs and an overall nuanced feel only heightened by song titles like “Kam Fong as Chin Ho,” “Regal Beagle” and “Jan-Michael Vincent.”' -full review at The Obelisk .

The Red Coil - Slough Off (2010)

Image
This one comes from Marco from 'The Red Coil', Italian stoner/southern metal. 'The Red Coil project, a mix of metal, stoner, alternative, with a beer and whiskey flavour. Lots of influences (Down, Black Sabbath, Black Label Society, Kyuss, Pink Floyd, just to make few names) mixed with the idea of making rough music without frills. The name The Red Coil is related to the concept of Kundalini the energy that resides in the subtle body and it’s traditionally represented as a sleeping serpent coiled at the base of the spine The awakening of Kundalini is a kind of Dante's journey where we pass from hell to the heaven discovering heaven and hell are a mirror image and only facing its animal spirit, the man can reach liberation. The Red Coil’ sound is the soundtrack for this trip ...' myspace.com/theredcoil MP3@320Kbps Download or Download 2
