Psych rock Chronophobia by Psychedivision

Psych rock Chronophobia by Psychedivision

It's always good to try out something a little different, and Philadelphia's Psychedivision deliver a psych, punk, and metal mashup that really works. Check out Chronophobia by Psychedivision:


Are those synths lurking behind the opener, "The Muck"? Why yes they are, and they add an extra layer of sound to keep things lively (not that these songs lack any liveliness). 

"Riot Police" keeps the energy flowing and makes me want to call Psychedivision a psych punk band (if there is such a thing). It's trippy, angry, and high-octane all at the same time. Pretty cool. 

"Automated Atoms" really highlights the vocals with their spaced-out effects, but also grabs with you with some wild guitar work. 


The last track "Chronophobia" brings yet more new sounds and I gotta say, this really has me going way down memory lane to a time when bands like The Residents did whatever the fuck they wanted, and it worked. Riffs, guitar solos, background screams, tweaked vocals, and anything else the band wanted to throw in. 

There's a lot going on in just 4 short tracks, and yet they all kind of work together and make for a fun little EP. Definitely worth checking out if a mashup of psych, prog, punk, and rock sounds like your thing. Fuzzy digs it!

Fuzzy's favorite track: "Chronophobia"

Psychedivision band is from Philadelphia.

Psych rock "135" by Andrea Van Cleef


When not singing and playing with stoner rock HUMULUS, Andrea Van Cleef stays busy with his solo project. His latest effort is "135" and it takes his sound more into the direction of blues, and even a little funk (or has he describes, Afrobeat). The result is an album you would love to hear at a club where you might choose to get up and boogie or just hang at the bar with your friends. (Well, someday when we can get get back into clubs, anyway.) Check out "135" by Andrea Van Cleef: 


"135" blasts off with a catchy riff, keys, and the instructions to "you better run like a motherfucker" which sets the tone for this set of 6 heavy rock tunes infused with blues and psych. The album alternates between original songs and covers of Pink Floyd ("Obscured By Clouds"), Bo Diddley ("Bo Diddley") and Dr. John ("Black Widow Spider"). Andrea Van Cleef makes them his own, and they mix seamlessly with his original songs. Very cool to hear these songs done in a stoner psych style while showing off their blues and psych roots, and Van Cleef's pleasing singing style.

Fuzzy's favorite: "Coyote" or maybe the mostly instrumental "Obscured By Clouds" but there isn't a mediocre track on this album.

Man this is a super solid stoner psych rock album. It starts off good and just gets hotter and heavier as it goes, so be sure to give the whole album a spin. 

Watch the video for "Run Like a Motherfucker" on YouTube:


Be sure to check out the 3-vinyl 7" box set with USB drive stick over on the Bandcamp page, and follow the band for more news. 


From Andrea Van Cleef band:
Andrea Van Cleef was born in a small town near Northern Italy alps.

After spending his post-teenage years doing various jobs (painter, driver, delivery guy, some modeling…) and playing guitar and bass guitar in different garage punk outfits, he founds his first real band in the early 2000s, the dark alt-rockers Bogartz. He starts singing because nobody in the band wants to sing, and he hasn't stopped ever since.

He is mostly known in the European “stoner rock” scene as singer and guitar player for HUMULUS.

Stoner rock "The Unveiling" debut EP by Sunczar

Stoner rock "The Unveiling" debut EP by Sunczar

Dig the new heavy stoner metal EP from Germany's SUNCZAR. This debut delivers 4 tracks with non-stop chainsaws that don't let up, and a vocal delivery that will have you hoping this band has a full album coming out soon. In the meantime, hit that repeat button and let these tracks rip over and over. Check out The Unveiling on by Sunczar on Bandcamp: 


The riffs are catchy, the vocals kick ass, and the fuzz is heavy. The guitars cut into groove metal with their hard edge and quick tempo, although there is a surprise waiting on the last track "Through this hell" which slows it down a bit, but without the chainsaws losing any of their energy.

Fuzzy's favorite: "Through this hell" but there isn't a dull song on this EP.

From Sunczar band: 
Bow down in awe for the Sunczar

A myth of a savior - ruler of the sun
and everything beneath

A new awakening in heavy music shall be proclaimed
by bonding forces of four men
chosen by the mighty Sunczar himself

A groove metal soundtrack
to conquer the world to

Stoner psych "Vol I" by Experiencia Tibetana

Stoner psych "Vol I" by Experiencia Tibetana

Argentina's EXPERIENCIA TIBETANA has an hour of stoner psych that you don't want to miss. Only 3 songs but's an hour of desert rock that runs from very psychedelic to very heavy, and back again. On top of all the stoner vibes are chanting vocals that are the perfect match for the mellow tones. Check out Experiencia Tibetana on Bandcamp: 


"Vol. 1" was recorded in 2014 but was released earlier this year. At almost an hour, the length matches the sound, and that is to say, it is absolutely MASSIVE! This is psych with emphasis on the "space" without any fear of experimentation. This album is a Falcon 9 that isn't afraid to use its boosters to blast off into space and explore the further reaches of the universe.

"Beirut" at about 15:00 simply explodes with a guitar solo going one way, the riff going another, and the rhythm section keeping the course into the far reaches of outer space. 

"Espalda de elefante" is darker and slower, and really keeps your attention despite it's nearly half hour length. Or to put it more accurately, your mind goes on a trip and you're not sure where the 30 minutes went. 

"Desatormentandonos" is stoner drone. Very relaxing after the first two mind-benders. 


This band definitely knows how to power a ship through space while exploring many interesting sights during the voyage. 

I love Spanish in stoner music, so the softly-sung lyrics match the music in tone and lend to the overall psychedelia. I can't understand most of what is being said, and that lends to the effect of a space trip where I am experiencing things beyond my comprehension. 

Experiencia Tibetana band is from Buenos Aires, Argentina with members:
  • Walter Fernandez: Guitar and Voice
  • Leandro Moreno Vila: Bass
  • David Cardozo: Guest Drum
From the band:
Created in mid-2013 in the western zone of Gran Buenos Aires, Experiencia Tibetana was born out of a spiritual quest that, influenced by bands like OM, Sleep, Ararat, Los Natas and Humo del Cairo, uses as a tool the amalgam of minimalism from the blues and the characteristic heavy rock of the '70s, with Byzantine music, the use of oriental sounds and the incorporation of mantras (natural, analog and digital).
With an EP recorded during 2014 ("Vol I") in the City of Moron, he knew how to present it in different settings, both in the suburbs and in the City of Buenos Aires, in order to produce more questions than answers about his style. Club V, El Emergente, El Jardin de los presentes, Continuum Bar, Detroit Club and El Galpón del Oeste were some of the redoubts that formed part of these ceremonies, which include the 2017 edition of the “Oeste Rock” festival. .
Currently, the band will be part of "El Gordo", a compilation that brings together different exponents of the world under and stoner scene (among which there is the presence of Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Spain, among others) to reverse compositions of Luis Alberto Spinetta. In this work, it was Pescado Rabioso that was targeted to go through the dense and dark sound that the band knew how to print in their work.
With a view to the future of this 2020, edit their next EP and with different presentations in the City and surroundings, the trio made up of Walter Fernandez, Leandro Vila and Gaston Saccoia continues to promulgate their spiritual, crude and valve message.

Psych grunge THE ENDORPHINS new video "Static Aesthetic" and "Dementia Paralytica" album review

THE ENDORPHINS "Dementia Paralytica" album review

Fuzzy got a lot of great feedback from The Swamp Krewe with my review of THE RED ROOM and here's another psych grunge group you will really dig. THE ENDORPHINS just released a new music video for  "Static Aesthetic" from their "Dementia Paralytica" album. The Endorphins are a Boston-based trio a fuzzed-out grunge sound that leans into the punk side of things with buzzing guitars and vocal approach. Listen to "Dementia Paralytica" from The Endorphins:



After the opening salvo of the first two songs, things get a little more grunge and alt rock with "Misanthrope." Very catchy and riffy. The album stays strong throughout, going back and forth with more or less punk and grunge, which makes for an album with a great flow to it. This is definitely one to spin on repeat, and would play well as a party soundtrack (if we ever get back to a world with parties.)

Fuzzy's favorite: "Existential Threat" which seems to best catch The Endorphins' unique blend of heavy psych, grunge, and punk. 

10 ripping tunes with a super solid production. Check out "Dementia Paralytica" on the Bandcamp page for The Endorphins

Grunge psych rockers THE RED ROOM debut album "Mind Razor"

Grunge psych rockers THE RED ROOM debut album "Mind Razor"

THE RED ROOM's debut album "Mind Razor" delivers non-stop energy in the form of a powerful mix of grunge and heavy psych, and the result is a flat-out hard rocking good time. Top it off with some killer vocals that fit the tone of the music perfectly, and this is an album worthy of any heavy rock collection. Check out "Mind Razor" from The Red Room: 


Some of the songs are more grunge as in "Zen Devil", sometimes more psych rock like with "Brain Hammer," and this mix of similar styles lends to a wonderful pace and rhythm to the album as the heavier songs balance of the less edgy ones. 

Great production quality on this one. 

Fuzzy's favorite is either the title song "Mind Razor" or "Phantom Airwaves" (video below!) but there isn't a weak song on the album. Check out The Red Room!

"Mind Razor" is available on digital and CD. 

Check out the music video on YouTube for "Phantom Airwaves" -- 


The Red Room is from New Jersey with members: 
  • Dylan Mclarnon - Lyrics/Vocals/Guitars
  • Dustin Sebes - Bass/Vocals
  • Jack Santoro - Lead Guitar/Vocals
  • Brian Wolinski - Drums/Vocals

We're a heavy grungey psychedelic Rock Band out of NJ!

Heavy psych sludge metal "that which speaks​.​.​." is the new album from MERLOCK

Heavy psych sludge metal "that which speaks​.​.​." is the new album from MERLOCK

MERLOCK teased us with a few pre-release singles earlier this year, and yesterday the Spokane band delivered the final goods. "that which speaks..." is a killer of a heavy psych & sludge metal album with 4 songs (and a 5th hidden on the cassette tape) that will blow you away. Check out Merlock band on Bandcamp -- 


Don't let the slow tempo start of "idolon" fool you -- it doesn't take long for Merlock to drop the hammer, fire up the howls, and blow your mind. Fuzzy digs the combination of singing and growling, a combination which lends to the story-telling of the lyrics. 

Merlock has cooked up a fresh and unique blend of sludge, psych, and metal sounds, and the dish they lay on the banquet table is a feast for your ears. This album packs the emotional punch usually found on some metal albums. 

Fuzzy's favorite track: "prolapse" tied with "condemnation" and don't hassle me that I just picked half the tracks on the album as my favorites. This is a great album!


From the band:
Psychedelic Shadow Doom from Spokane, WA.
Formed as a traditional heavy metal band in 2017, MERLOCK quickly found themselves drawn to heavy, psychedelic depths.The more they played, the further the band moved away from their traditional heavy metal roots in search of something more luminous.

With a disdain for the desaturated, 'that which speaks...' insists on shimmering through the confines of doom.
 
Follow MERLOCK band on Bandcamp where you can get the music and order the cassette tape with a 5th hidden track.
