Mazzeri – s/t

June 7, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

When you infuse any sort of material with any level of psychedelia, you’re already raising the bar for my expectations by at least a little. In my opinion, to successfully be psychedelic is to become larger than life with your … Continue reading Mazzeri – s/t

Ritual King – s/t

May 31, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Admittedly, there comes a point where a lot of these stoner rock/heavy psych/doom acts start to blend together because they either sound the same or their names are way too close like how I keep mixing up Void King and … Continue reading Ritual King – s/t

Jackie Treehorn Ave. – Nervous Breakdown Blues

May 3, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The right approach to your material can really make or break an album, or, at the very least, greatly impact how interesting your work is in the first few seconds. When it comes down to psychedelia, I’ve always been a … Continue reading Jackie Treehorn Ave. – Nervous Breakdown Blues

Kanaan – Double Sun

April 12, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Over the years, one of my absolute favorite styles to dive into whenever I want something that almost never fails me is the realm of instrumental psychedelic rock. It’s always a mouthful to say, but it always elicits a specific … Continue reading Kanaan – Double Sun

LáGoon – Maa Kali Trip

April 10, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

The sheer number of bands that have come around ever since the arrival of legendary acts like AC/DC that have tried to emulate that exact same sound is absolutely staggering still to this day. For the vast majority of them, … Continue reading LáGoon – Maa Kali Trip

Elder – Omens

February 28, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Experimentation is something that I praise very highly in any sort of band whether they be new or old, experienced or as fresh as could be, or having only dipped their toes in one style versus constantly trying new things … Continue reading Elder – Omens

Giöbia – Plasmatic Idol

February 7, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

A real trip of music that’s worth talking about can easily be a thing that’s both as rare as it gets or buried beneath so many other acts that try to bring such a thing to the table despite not … Continue reading Giöbia – Plasmatic Idol

Electric Moon – Mind Explosion

January 29, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

It wasn’t really until a few years ago with my favorite album to date from The Re-Stoned, “Stories of the Astral Lizard”, that I discovered just how good long-winded instrumental psych-rock can get, and it’s been such a treat to … Continue reading Electric Moon – Mind Explosion

King Buffalo – Dead Star

January 26, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

Where do I even start here? I’ve been sitting around just staring blankly at my computer screen trying to figure out the best way to start this shit off for far too long and I’m no closer to a good … Continue reading King Buffalo – Dead Star

Big Scenic Nowhere – Vision Beyond Horizon

January 15, 2020December 7, 2020 Vinterd

If the entirety of the world of psychedelic rock, desert rock, or whatever else you want to call this would shut down for the entire rest of the year and we were only left with the first full-length album from … Continue reading Big Scenic Nowhere – Vision Beyond Horizon
