Mother Trucker - Electric Blacksmith EP [2006]

Long time no see I guess. I don't know if it is enough of instrumental stuff, but hell, I never have enough, I 'm never satisfied so here I bring you a new band I found out. They are somehow more of a slow motion intrumental stuff and according to experts they go like in the line of Red Sparowes and Pelican, that means, bathed in doom. I just have tried to listen both of those bands, but I just don't like them. Nevertheless, Mother Trucker is the exception to the rule.
The band was formed in October 2003 and is the creation of Charlie Butler (Guitar), Tom Moffat (Bass), James Davison (Drums) and Chris Scrivens (Guitar) from Birmingham in the UK.
"Mothertrucker blend together the harshness of metal, the ambience, texture and lulling nature of post-rock, the groove and rolling rhythms of stoner rock and the gruesome dark feelings of doom with the aim of fusing all this into one as a truly cohesive sound". (http://www.purevolume.com/mothertrucker)

Well, I hope you like, just give it a try and you may find something really addictive. See y'all.

Tracklist:

1. Horn of Edwards 06:56 2. The Russian 01:42 3. The Taking of Planet 55 08:31 4. Dark Destroyer 05:44 5. Kings of Kabaddi 10:21 Total playing time 33:14

Nitroseed - Molt

Hey, cheer up! I'm posting very often now. In fact, I'm surprise of myself. Moreover, I brought a new band to you. Well is not actually a new band, but I discorvered it just a couple of days ago. Talking about this band, necesarily means to talk about Karma to burn, because Karma is a pionner in instrumental rock and somehow stoner. In this sense, it means to touch on many other instrumental bands outhere like Balero, Hotel Wrecking City Traders, 5ive, Treasure cat, and A Tijuana Trip, just to mention a few I enjoy a lot. Nitroseed comes from Laurel, Maryland, USA. They are regarded as Instrumental Stoner Doom. I guess such description fits their sound. They are a doom stoner band, but they got something else, they got that spark of heavy and groove that keeps you on fire and that's the reason I'm posting their stuff. I often fall sleep with stoner doom, but this an exception. They got those sweet and painfull slow repetitive compases and rythms encripted in heavy metal chords and rolled around in riffs saturated with stoner everywhere, then encripted again in a Balero's mood and rolled around in Karma to Burn's sudden chord explosions.

It's a nice band, no weak songs as Stoner Rock review says. The band play solid, furious and neverending as a flame. Take this piece without shadow of doubt. 10o% suggested.

Tracklist:

1. Barbarian test tube
2. Creeper
3. Class War
4. Ship from up North
5. Megalodon
6. Power of the Sun
7. Combined Forces
8. Molt
9. Saturday night palsy
10 . Gut butt

"3 Sleep, Jerusalem | Rise Above/The Music Cartel (1999)

The words “stoner epic” don’t even come close to describing the extreme riff-hypnosis that Jerusalem visited upon the red-eyed legions of heshers, grass pirates and acid casualties who genuflected at the altar of the legendary power-trio known as Sleep. In 1995, after two albums (’91’s Volume One and ’93’s Holy Mountain) bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros, drummer Chris Hakius (both currently of Om) and guitarist Matt Pike (currently of High on Fire) recorded their masterpiece—a one-song, 52-minute album—with financial assistance from their new corporate benefactors at London Records. Jerusalem is Sabbath in slow motion, Earth 2 without track divisions and the soundtrack for an eternal bong-huffing caravan to the heart of the Holy Land rolled into a thick, hazy hour of thundering chords, booming vocals and terminal battery. Sleep would break up years before their official release in 1998, but the album originally entitled Dopesmoker will always be one of the world’s quintessential head classics. —J. Bennett"

Tracklist:

01 - Jerusalem part. 1
02 - Jerusalem part. 2
03 - Jerusalem part. 3
04 - Jerusalem part. 4

Poseidotica - La Distancia [2008]

Well, this a particular post, because again I am posting something different to stoner, as I did in the past, posting Darediablo's Twenty Paces album. Poseidotica is an Argentinian instrumental psychodelic rock-progresive band. Websites' descriptions about their music say something like: "Starting with the goal of creating an environmental and heavy rock, each integral ingredient contributes its staff in order to achieve a range of climates and dark and dense atmospheres that allow a subtle mental journey, contrasting moments of total relaxation with excerpts of inevitable fury".

Having read such description I think you may understand why I'm posting this album. This is the kind of stoned hypnotic music that sucks your brain dry; your mind starts to wander and landscapes of different kinds begin to flow with the melody...music becames a mind trip. Now think about how often you listen to an argetinian band...I don't know many, but there are plenty of USA stoner bands...just get it! Poseidotica rocks!

Tracklist:

01 - La distancia 04:50 min
02 - Sueño narcotico 06:15 min
03 - Tiempo y espacio 05:57 min
04 - Campo magnetico 04:44 min
05 - Maldita 01:57 min
06 - Equinoccio 04:20 min
07 - Anfibio 03:57 min
08 - Las magnitudes 14: 40 min
