 >> Band/CD-Info |
25 years, a quarter of a century, is a very long time in the life of any human being. And maybe even more so, in the lifespan of a recording of music. Yet "Further" by American stoner metal band SOLACE, first released at the turn of the millennium, has stood the test of time. Its tracks feel just as contemporary and relevant as in the year 2000 |

 >> Band/CD-Info |
When the self-released and self-titled "Domkraft" EP came out in 2015, it was for many the first sign of life from the Swedes. That the 250 original copies sold out quickly is a testament to the strong appeal of the fuzz-driven, psychedelic riff-doom cosmos that DOMKRAFT created right from the start. And it just kept growing over the course of 10 years, four albums, two EPs, and a live record. |

| Year of the Cobra - Year of the Cobra >>> 01.03.2025 | |
 >> Band/CD-Info |
Guitars, who needs guitars in heavy music? At least YEAR OF THE COBRA can happily do without the ones that have only thin strings and are mostly good for fiddling around.

The seventh album, "A Pathway to the Moon", is taking an impressive evolutionary leap. |
