🌿 Debut EP from Tripping Haze Ceremony drops on 4/20 🌿

Demo 2018 from Tripping Haze Ceremony might only have two tracks and a bonus, but just set it to play on repeat and you will enjoy it for hours. THC delivers exactly what you like in a stoner track: slow heavy riffs, fuzzed out vocals, choice samples, and some amazing guitar solos. Take a listen:


One thing about THC that sets them apart from a lot of other stoner bands is they bring in some really nice, clean guitar work towards the end of the song.

I like THC so much that you can find the song Night of Damned on my doom comp Opium Warlock's Dungeon of Darkness. Check it out! Here's a video I made with a clip from it:


And good news! THC has a new single EMPEROR OF DOOM coming out on 4/20! Follow THC over on Bandcamp to find out as soon as it drops. Click here for a sample of it or watch this video!


More good news! Tripping Haze Ceremony has taken the time to answer some questions, so here is the Fuzzy Cracklins band interview with them:


FUZZY CRACKLINS: Who is in the band? When did you start as a band?

THC started as one man back in 2017, it was me, Epulyard playing the guitar and vocal. Later me and our bassist, Sara worked out for our first demo without a drummer, we frequently changed our drummer. Slowly after our demo was released in 2018, we tried to find a drummer that could fill in the position, then we got my old friend, Lim as our drummer now.  

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Who are the influences on your music?

Influences on music obviously it is Black Sabbath, but I will say there’s many band that influence me to write my own song. Uncle Acid, Beastmaker, Electric Wizard, Church Of Misery, Orchid, Down, Elder, Belzebong, Mooner, Graveyard, there’s too much name to list down. We love 70s and heavy stuff like Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Flower Travellin Band, Fleetwood Mac, Blue Oyster Cult, Stone Axe, Blues Creation, and still the list will go endlessly. (laugh)

FUZZY CRACKLINS: What bands are you listening to right now?

I’m listening to Pink Floyd while writing this, ahaa they’re great man. Witch (2006) and Master Of Reality was played before that.

FUZZY CRACKLINS: How do you find out about new music? Friends? Bandcamp? Instagram? or where?

Basically we will look out for new music on the internet nowadays, but our family and friends do take part too in great music. Among the band itself, the people you meet at local gig here, they’re just great in music. We are still digging the old and new music, all kinds of genre but stoner doom for sure.

FUZZY CRACKLINS: What is the music scene like where you live? Where do you live?

We are from Selangor, Malaysia. It’s a city named Shah Alam (SAC All Day!). The music scene here is doing great, it grows day by day. Almost every weekend you can find a gig here, in Kuala Lumpur especially. It’s great to see them struggle for what they love to do, really.

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Does THC play gigs or have plans for upcoming shows?

We haven’t played our first gig yet, yeah we would love to play live shows, tour maybe! It would be great right? [Fuzzy says: Be sure to tell us when your first gig is and we'll get the word out!!]

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Do you have any plans for a debut album?

Definitely yes, we want to release a full length album. As for now, we will release an EP album first, in the nearest time hopefully. We’ll see how it goes. 

FUZZY CRACKLINS: When is your next single being released?

Our single, Emperor Of Doom will be released this 20th April 2019 digitally on Bandcamp and YouTube, so make sure you ready with your joint and smoke to the emperor!

FUZZY CRACKLINS: What else would you like to share with your fans?

We would like to say thank you for supporting us since day one, everyone who is involved both directly and indirectly when we make our music, thank you. Don’t forget to check out our demo album and new single “Emperor Of Doom” this coming 420 on our Bandcamp and Youtube!

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Thank you for your time!

Velas Negras stoner doom album by Fulanno

I might never get out of this doom kick I am in right now. I guess once your feet get stuck in the sludge you can't pull them out. Stream and read the Fuzzy Cracklins' album review of the heavy doomy sludgy Velas Negras (Black Candles) from Argentina's Fulanno........

Wild Fuzz Trip stoner doom metal from Spain

What a special sonic treat there is for you today, my friends! Wild Fuzz Trip delivers only the very best instrumental stoner music, and it is all a part of their experimenting and reviewing of so many different pedals. First we will listen to some of their music and later keep going for the Fuzzy Cracklins band interview with Wild Fuzz Trip!

Take a listen to Mammoth Tower from their first EP Surreal Surroundings:


And now listen to Stonefly Echo from their most recent EP, Fuzznaut​)​)​):


One thing about Wild Fuzz Trip that sets them apart is they make music that you would call doom, but also they make psychedelic music, too. They ride right along the line between doom and psych. A track like Mammoth Tower has some psych elements to it, but it is more doom. But a track like Stonefly Echo has more psych guitar and effects.

And another thing about Wild Fuzz Trip are the PEDALS! So many pedals! We will get into that with the interview below, but you have to be sure to check them out on Instagram to follow all of their pedal reviews.

And now for the band interview!

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Hello Wild Fuzz Trip! Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions.

Hi dude! You're welcome. It's our pleasure :) 

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Who is in Wild Fuzz Trip? Where are you guys at? When did you form?

We are just some friends playing music :) We are for the moment more of a music project than a band, we are from Spain and the drummer of our two first EPs is a good friend from Iceland, last year we decided to record our first two EPs that will be available soon on physical editions, we have some plans for the near future too :)

FUZZY CRACKLINS: With one of the members in another country, how do you record your songs?

We are friends and we are in constant contact, we send the music without drums and then he came here to Spain to record the drums and spend some days with us here too, this is what is all about, the wild adventure, the trip and of course to keep the Fuzz on! 

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Which came first? The pedal & gear reviews, or the band?

Our passion is the music, to make new music, to make new songs is the most important, is true that we are pedals and gear nerds :) but of course still the music is the most important, in fact we didn't use more than five, seven pedals in this record, talking about this,  something that you will always find in our records is Matamp, Space Echo and Fuzz Pedals, normally StoneFly and Fuzzlord :)

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Tell your fans where they can follow your gear reviews?

You can follow us on Pedaltvchannel different social media; mostly on Instagram, Facebook and we have a YouTube account too only for the moment with our music uploaded but thinking to upload, and our hope is that we have enough time, high quality gear reviews soon..

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Does your testing and reviews of the gear influence your music and songwriting?

Yes sure! Some tones just inspire you to make music, we are big fans of Matamp and Sunn0))) but the bigger influence for us are other bands. We are also big fans of Sleep, OM, Somali Yacht Club, Samsara Blues Experiment, Mephistofeles...

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Your music has been on two of my comps, one was for doom and one was for psych! How is that possible one group can make music in both genres?

Yes we love so much that styles mix :) and even in a hard and heavy song we usually love to take a break to play some psych parts, this is our style, instrumental, long songs, total freedom, different parts, fuzzy riffs and psych parts of course :) 

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Tell us about some bands you like who do not get enough attention as they deserve?

For sure some awesome bands that deserve more attention, already have but they are so good deserve more :) Brunt, Frozen Planet....1969, Kaiser, Smokewitch, Klandestin...

FUZZY CRACKLINS: What else would you like to tell your fans?

Just say thank you to all the people who support our music. Thank You.

FUZZY CRACKLINS: Thank you for your time, Wild Fuzz Trip! Stay heavy!

Thanks to you too. We can't wait too see more of your reviews and listen to your comps!

On My Way by The Count

You guys know that me and Dr. Greenthumb love all kinds of psychedelic music, after all we did a comp together on Bandcamp a few months ago with over three hours of great music. Jams, improvised, doom psych, stoner psych, live, and even more. A sampler of everything that is going on today in the psychedelic music scene. So the point is, I dig psychedelic music!

So you can imagine when I got the word from my friends in Sleeping Child (check out my review here) that I went to go check out the new single from The Count so I could take a listen. Have a listen for yourself to The Count's new single, On My Way:

I’m 27 years old, based in Chicago. The Count is my solo project, and I play all the instruments that you hear in my songs. That includes recording them in my studio as well as mixing them. The project idea is many years old, but it only took off last year with my very first release which was The Count & His Majestic Band EP. 

I’ve actually changed the name of the project to just “The Count” so that’s why there is a difference in title from my EP to my single. I’m still keeping the “Majestic Band” part for my backing band, whenever I play live. 

I put a backing band together a couple months ago, and unfortunately no live shows at the moment, but there will be very soon! [Fuzzy says to check out The Count's social links below to keep track of his upcoming shows!]

The music that inspires me the most is anything that is full and lush sounding, like the “wall of sound” kind of deal. With that being said I love Beach Boys – Pet Sounds and many 60’s and 70’s psych bands. Brian Jonestown Massacre is also a big influence for me as well as plenty of other 80’s and 90’s stuff like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spiritualized, Oasis, The Verve. Some more modern bands like Chatham Rise and Elephant Stone, and plenty more. [Fuzzy says maybe I should invite The Count to help me with my next psychedelic comp, right??]

 FUZZY CRACKLINS: What's coming up for The Count?

I have more singles to release in the near future, kind of exploring and trying out different styles, but nothing that strays away too much from my sound.

Ad Nauseam by Lay Down and Rot

Deliver me from the claims of the ageing, cautious, nagging and frightened flesh.

It's no secret Fuzzy loves a good sample. And heavy fuzzed-out guitars & bass and synths. So when Lay Down and Rot showed up with their new LP Ad Nauseam that has all this going on in every track, you know I was going to dig it. Take a listen:


Nausea gets right into things with the atmospheric effects and guitar work, and a sample that matches the mood of the music perfectly. Disturbing, dark, and yet you are hanging on every word. The lead single 'Nausea' features samples of William S. Burroughs reading the last few paragraphs of his 1953 novel 'Junky.'

As the band describes their sound:

While the sound is primarily dominated by doomy post-metal, there are streaks of post-rock, psychedelic jams, synth passages and hints of jazz strewn throughout 'Ad Nauseam'. As a whole, 'Ad Nauseam' is an ode to confusion, angst and despair.

Demons Run Amok continues with a sample of Bill Hicks delivering his most famous bit:

'... it's just a ride, but we always kill those good guys that try to tell us that. D'ya ever notice that? And let the demons run amok.' William Melvin Hicks

According to the band Sally Was a Strange Kind of Woman is dedicated to sex workers around the world, whilst the last track on the album, 'Bourke Street Blues', is a commemoration of the chaos and rampage that ensued in Melbourne, Australia during the 2017 and 2018 terrorist attacks on Bourke Street.

Lay Down and Rot are a duo based in Melbourne, Australia. Formed for some purpose, somewhere, sometime in late 2016. The LP is released on their own label, Everything Hertz Recordings.

Alex - guitars, bass, synth, samples, percussion
Matty - drums, keyboard, percussion, production, mixing

Fans in Melbourne need to keep track of Lay Down and Rot as they are rehearsing as a 4-piece in preparation for their live debut.

Check out Lay Down and Rot at:


Fans of heavy music like this with great samples the way Lay Down and Rot lays it down need to also check out Dr. Sludgelove and Brundle Haze.

You know I dig a song when it ends up on my comp so check out Nausea on Earth Day:

Pusherkid's debut EP Smokedoper

This is a very special review for me and I'm really excited to share this one with you guys. Pusherkid has a few singles on Loud & Lonely vol. 1 and Ides of March so this is my first chance to write up a review for him with his new debut EP dropping on 4/20. The EP is called Smokedoper so check out the pre-release tracks right here:


Overall what I dig so much about Pusherkid is that he is right at the very forefront of where doom and psych and heavy music are headed. If he is looking back over his shoulders for inspiration, he might have found it but the music that is coming out on this EP is all looking into the future. The doom is so thick you can cut it with a chainsaw but the tracks do not drone or get lazy. These songs are moving and shaking.

The emphasis here is on the bass. And by emphasis I mean, it's all about the bass. If I could play the bass, this is how I would want to play it. Thick, heavy, and at the center of the music.

Ah and of course the samples. It's no secret I dig the samples there are some choice ones going on here. Marijuana, LSD, public service announcements, it's all here.

WAITING is the new single from Raging Bull

If you dig the music on THE HEAVY SOUTH such as The King's Pistol and The Rum, then you are definitely going to dig the new single from Raging Bull. Take a listen to WAITING:

Dig that wicked bass line, the riffs and those killer vocals. Get WAITING on your playlist right now! With the release of their first self-titled EP back in 2016 receiving rave reviews, their upcoming single release of the track ‘Waiting’ is a much anticipated event.

Raging Bull is a power trio from London that has been laying down the heavy blues rock since 2014. Be sure to check out their  “guns-a-blazing” stage performances with enough honest blues-rock feel to take you back to the glory days of the great rock'n'roll bands.

You can check out Raging Bull at:


Listen to WAITING from Raging Bull along with many other fresh tracks from the heavy underground on this month's Bandcamp comp, Earth Day:
