If "slow and heavy" are the words you use to describe the kind of stoner doom you dig, then you are definitely gonna dig the new album from Greece's CATAPULT THE SUN called “Dark Sun Festivities.” These guys deliver poundingly slow riffs and keep delivering them until your brain has been beaten into submission. And what I really dig is that they add a layer of haunting creepiness, as if they are playing these brain-busters from a graveyard. This album definitely veers into drone territory, which makes this album one of my favorites of the year thus far.
Get ready for Halloween with the heavy doom riffs of the upcoming debut EP from FOG GIANT. This S/T delivers 5 songs which truly deserve to be called "sabbath worship" with their low & slow tones, fuzzed-out riffs, and pummeling drum lines. Listen to Fog Giant EP on Bandcamp:
"Sky Burial" is a strong opener, and fires a salvo of stoner doom across your brain as it fires off what Fog Giant has to offer.
"Sesspool" takes it nearly instrumental, and the vocals don't kick in until the end. I'm digging the burning, chugging riffs on this one.
The eponymous track "Fog Giant" keeps the barge of destruction sailing towards its destruction. I gotta say, I love it when a band has a song using the name of the band as the title! This one is certified dark and sinister.
"Riff Wizard" is the pre-release track which you can listen to right now on Bandcamp, and if you dig it, then you are going to want to hear the full album at its release on Halloween.
The album ends with a cover of Uriah Heep's "Rainbow Demon" that delivers vocals on par with the original. Well done!
Fog Giant EP delivers 5 tracks and nearly 30 minutes of sabbath worship, and that's more than enough to set the mood at your Halloween party.
The album is available for pre-order now on Bandcamp at https://foggiant.bandcamp.com/ with the full release on Halloween. Be sure to check out the CD, too!
Fuzzy's Favorite: Toss-up between "Riff Wizard" and "Rainbow Demon" but this whole beast is excellent, so just hit PLAY at the start and let it play on repeat.
Fog Giant band is from Erie, PA with members:
From the band:
We're a stoner-doom quartet from Erie, Pennsylvania, and I feel like it's pretty solidly in your wheelhouse; heavy, smoke-filled riffs, walls of citrus-flavored amplifiers, cautionary tales of psychedelics and wizards.
Follow FOG GIANT on Bandcamp at https://foggiant.bandcamp.com and check out the CD, too.
Fuzzy digs demos and suggests you feast your earholes on 3 fresh tracks from SPACE WEED which hails from (appropriately) Cape Canaveral, Florida. Fuzzy, lo-fi, instrumental stoner doom with plenty of fresh riffs to check out. I especially dig the frantic guitar work towards the end of "Lazer Rust Animation." It's music like this that makes me glad to be a part of the Underground scene. Check out "Sorry We're Stoned" demo on Bandcamp:

The Swamp's GREEN HOG feature on the upcoming digital compilation "Caravan of Doom Volume 1" dropping Oct. 2 from SLEEPING VILLAGE RECORDS. This is one and a half hours of capital H Heavy music. Check out this track list:

| IRON RIDER is Wondering If You're In Hell By Now debut stoner doom blues EP |
An old fashioned trashy bluesy doom band from New York.
Iron Rider is a three piece doom band mixing old and dirty delta blues rhythms with a touch of grunge while still being a solid tribute to the classic and timeless cult doom and psych bands of the 60's and 70's.
Needless to say, Iron Rider incorporates horror themes and personal experiences into their lyrics, artwork and music so that each album is themed, conceptual and story driven, starting with our first one Wondering If You're In Hell By Now.Iron Rider's first show is November 9 in NYC so follow them on Bandcamp and Facebook to stay in the loop --
