Acid Magus - Emperor (single)
 |
| hand drawn art by Tyrone Le Roux-Atterbury (@just_that_guy_who_draws) |
Emerging from the shadows of Pretoria’s rock scene, Acid Magus unleash Emperor, the fiery second single from their upcoming album. Known for their intoxicating blend of doom, stoner, punk, and psych rock, Acid Magus has crafted a track that is both an intense journey into sound and a searing exploration of power’s dark allure.
In a swirl of distorted guitars, heavy riffs, and hypnotic rhythms, Emperor introduces the album’s central antagonist—a power-hungry overlord who thrives on destruction. As a metaphor for colonialism and the erasure of culture, the Emperor embodies raw, destructive ambition. The track invites listeners to confront the brutality of conquest, with haunting lyrics that echo the relentless drive for control. Acid Magus’s characteristic musical grit and psychedelic edge deliver a visceral experience, drawing inspiration from the likes of Mastodon, Kylesa, and Baroness, all while infusing their signature South African flair.

[Vid] Weevil - Insomnia (single)
In Weevil's words:
"Insomnia" is a song inspired by wide-open spaces and the strange blend of emotions that come with sleepless nights. It’s about those quiet hours where everything is still, yet your mind is alive with thoughts. We wanted to capture the beauty and the chaos of that feeling. It is the desert of our minds.
"Insomnia" is a bold preview of what’s to come on "Easy Way", which is set for release on December 13, 2024. Produced by the band with the valuable help of engineer Thanos Amorginos, the album promises to balance the raw energy of tracks like "Wake the Dead" with the introspective depth of "Insomnia".

This is Nowhere - Waiver
This is nowhere have just released their fourth LP, Waiver (2024) on Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug! This is Nowhere is a five-piece band from Salonica, Greece, known for their genre-blending sound that spans noise, blues, experimental, and psych rock.
While still hallucinatory, Waiver (2024) sounds like band's most extroverted album to date. In this album, This is Nowhere change tact, making their way back into the earth’s atmosphere. They retain many aspects of their expansive, doom-inspired psych, while evolving toward a more pronounced vision of where experimental rock can be taken. Waiver highlights their unique style and succeeds in showing an expanded understanding of the band.
Since their formation in 2009, they have evolved their style to include elements of dub and shoegaze, enriched with layers of bass and atmospheric effects. As they moved towards colder soundscapes, they introduced synths and theremins into their work, reflecting a diverse range of influences in a minimalistic style. The band continues to explore the post-hardcore spectrum, and their latest recordings further showcase their innovative approach.

Loving Jane - Living a Lie
A year ago he started recording a sort of farewell-to-England-album consisted of 6 compositions that reflect the collective frame of mind of the last years, the bitter-sweet nostalgia that childhood memories bring and the dark moments of the past, seen through a prog/psychedelic prism with heavy/fuzz outbursts.
And this is how "Living a Lie" was born!
A limited edition of 50 Numbered vinyl LP's (black lathe cut 180gr) is available.

Loving Jane - Isolate
![Loving Jane - Isolate [2020]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr6a8h16aMk47lMLi4xmvuNoZYsc9w97axwab9baOBBr7KzAneVpcsJ6K7uCDESxZTndI9PicEY2t6urqfysPY-4me84ronnY8568GcR37jSsz3tKLuHyrOMWojXUWtir7VHPYxO0X1UANXCUegGLfyIu4xqfkhDv9608gLzq3loT6vnt0d9DIv807obM/s1410/Loving_Jane-Isolate_cover_artwork.png "Loving Jane - Isolate [2020]")
Loving Jane is the personal/solo project of Thanos Vlachos (vocalist/guitarist @ Out of the Earth) since 2017 where he experiments with psychedelic soundscapes, more often with instrumental tracks, often embedding Greek mountain folk music scales into guitar licks, backed up by synths and guitar effects. [Usual location of the project: Arghirochori, a small village on the foothills of mount Oeta,Greece].
"Isolate" is an anthology of songs and instrumental tracks, composed during the period from 2017, until November of 2020.
In Thanos' words:
The whole procedure of making this album, from recordings, editing and mixing, to designing the artwork and cassette cover, kept me sane and motivated during these really hard times of uncertainty, doubt and fear.In this album I experimented with more psychedelic soundscapes,filtered the greek mountain folk music scales into guitar licks,backed up by Korg micro synths and guitar effects. DIY all the way.
