Eisenmund est le premier album envoûtant du groupe post-punk Schimmel über Berlin. La genèse de ce disque tient presque du conte de fées : après que les sessions instrumentales sont restées endormies sur bande pendant deux ans, le quatuor s'est retrouvé l'an dernier pour y poser des voix et enfin finaliser l'ensemble. Pile à temps pour la mélancolie et les brouillards de novembre, le groupe livre neuf titres d'un post-punk, parfois teinté de cold wave, brut et anguleux, porté par des basses lourdes, des guitares acérées et un chant en allemand d'une poésie distante. Eisenmund s'impose comme une plongée nocturne et viscérale dans le son underground berlinois.

The Blood of Others by the Los Angeles band Witches Of God is a powerful blend of Stoner Rock and Doom Metal, deeply rooted in a vintage, occult atmosphere. Recorded entirely on analog equipment, the album delivers a raw, warm, and authentic retro sound driven by thick, fuzzy guitar riffs heavily inspired by early Black Sabbath. This crushing weight is balanced by the energetic edge of classic Los Angeles hard rock, vintage horror-movie synthesizers, and dynamic shifts between slow, brooding tempos and catchy, mid-tempo grooves.
A defining highlight of the record is its dark, cinematic storytelling and high-profile underground collaborations. The atmospheric vibe is perfectly captured on the standout track The Horror, which features iconic guest vocals from doom metal legend Scott "Wino" Weinrich (Saint Vitus). Overall, the album stands as a gritty, heavy, and nostalgic homage to 1970s proto-metal and occult rock.

The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R&B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting and innovative records of the sixties and early seventies. Winners of the Hero award at the 2009 Mojo Honours, the band have been a massive success and a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, Aerosmith, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes, Kasabian and many, many more. 2018 saw the release of a 50th-anniversary S.F. Sorrow box set and the band's final and extensive UK & European tour, which included a performance of S.F. Sorrow in full at the Isle of Wight Festival and ended at a farewell show in London at Indigo at the O2 with an impressive supporting line-up of David Gilmour and Van Morrison.
Following the now legendary and critically acclaimed S.F. Sorrow, the psychedelic '68 classic, the band returned to Abbey Road Studios and started work on Parachute. Released in 1970 the album was named Rolling Stone’s album of the year ahead of Let It Be by The Beatles, Morrison Hotel by The Doors, After the Gold Rush by Neil Young, Moondance by Van Morrison, Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother and Led Zeppelin III.

Born from a lightning-fast 5-day recording session in Mannheim, Germany, the historic birthplace of the automobile, REISE is a collaborative cosmic exploration by space-rock purveyors Spiral Drive (Raphaël Neikes) and psychedelic-pop eccentric Lord Fascinator (Johnny Mackay).Meaning “Journey” in German, REISE is a seamless, gapless concept album engineered to be the ultimate soundtrack for movement. Built on the relentless, hypnotic pulse of traditional Krautrock and injected with heavy modern fuzz, the record takes the listener on a five-stage transit from the asphalt of Earth straight into the deep unknown of outer space.Five chapters. Five modes of transport. One continuous trip.

Fuelled by their militant drive and unyielding ardour, ‘Just Say No…’ refracts Gnod’s harsh and repetitive riff-driven rancour through a psychotropic haze of dubbed-out abstraction, with Paddy’s incendiary vocal delivery to the fore. ,‘Just SayNo… sounds like a record only Gnod could make - a band fiercely independent, never comfortable in one place artistically for any duration of time, always with their co-ordinates set on uncharted territory and the next challenge ahead, and delivering a monument of ire and iconoclasm.

Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is the fifth studio album by the San Diego heavy psychedelic rock power trio Earthless, released on January 28, 2022, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album serves as a definitive return to form, abandoning the shorter, vocal-driven tracks of their 2018 record Black Heaven to return to the massive, sprawling instrumental jams that defined their early career.

With the release of their fourth full-length album, Rebirth, CHILD marks a definitive shift in their creative trajectory.

Something to Consume is the critically acclaimed 2025 debut studio album by Austin-based alternative rock band Die Spitz, released via Third Man Records. Produced by Will Yip, the 11-track record delivers a massive, abrasive wall of sound that seamlessly fuses elements of grunge, punk, thrash rock. The project is defined by the band’s unique collaborative dynamic, where members fluidly swap instruments and lead vocal duties across tracks. Thematically, the album explores the multi-faceted concept of consumption, from modern societal greed and substance abuse to the overwhelming nature of love, identity, and political frustration. This raw, chaotic energy has earned the band widespread critical praise and explosive mainstream momentum.

Visions in Bloom (2022) is a masterful and refreshing journey through progressive psychedelic rock, heavily infused with 90s alternative textures and punky fuzz. Often described by listeners as a glorious, meandering rock opera akin to the heavy, infectious craftsmanship of Queens of the Stone Age, the album seamlessly bridges the gap between catchy hooks and powerful sonic explorations. Stylistically, Spiral Drive balances neo-psychedelia, grunge, and space-rock sensibilities, creating dynamic, texturized soundscapes where every track feels distinct yet flows effortlessly into the next. Driven by driving basslines, swirling guitar riffs, and layered production, the album serves as a captivating, high-energy trip that establishes the band as a powerhouse in the modern psych-rock scene.

Deep Sage (2024) is a masterclass in modern post-hardcore that brilliantly bridges the gap between intense, abrasive punk and expansive 90s alternative rock. Recorded almost entirely live to tape by engineer Jack Shirley, the album captures a raw, visceral energy that highlights the band's musical evolution toward more complex, texturized sonic landscapes. Stylistically, Gouge Away moves beyond pure hardcore fury to incorporate elements of noise rock, angular indie, and lush shoegaze, defining their sound through the sharp contrast between heavy dissonance and melodic atmosphere. Vocalist Christina Michelle anchors this dynamic shift with an incredible vocal performance, effortlessly transitioning from fierce, unhinged screams to quiet, melancholic spoken-word verses. Lyrically, the record serves as a heavy, introspective exploration of climate anxiety, isolation, and the overwhelming weight of the unknown, making Deep Sage both their most diverse and emotionally mature release to date.
