Maquina Verde Antiguo Oscuro

Maquina Verde is an independent stoner rock band, which I have the pleasure to be working with. They have released two albums so far and perform very often at my hometown. They have performed in some important rock concerts in Chile and have also participated of independent recordings of new bands on the scene of stoner and psychodelic rock at national degree.

This particular video "Antiguo oscuro" (video number three) was edited and recorded on studio for a livestream presentation on Sonido Naciona, an online radio) The video was made by my hand and my premature skills with adobe premier, at that particular time. I am very happy to introduce you to this band. I am also adding other personal live recordings, which sound amazing. Feel free to look them up on youtube, because there are a lot of materials. I personally advice you to listen to Stoned Paranoia, Luna, Cae el Cielo, trip to heaven, and nuevas rutas. CHeers!!!!!

Year Long Disaster - EP

Hey there!! what's up? I really don't know. Only god damn shit I remenber is that last year I had loads and plenty lots of free time to look for new music and upload stuff for you. Nonetheless, the 2009's rythmn is quite different and it had ended up being fucking overwhelming. I sincerely say that I don't have fucking free time and If I fucking do, I rather like to burn that time...burn to ashes what is left in my brain.
Ok!! enough drama, I just uploaded something I've been listening lately, a band that I have come to like lately... this is like the perfect first peak for you, in case you haven't heard the band before. I highly suggest this piece, it always brings me back sounds and images of Led Zeppelin and Hendrix, I don't know you but those two things I just mentioned are two good reasons to check this stuff up. Now, maybe, maybe I shall up load something else later, who knows...holiday is near...take care you all and enjoy!

1.- Year Long Disaster - The Mad Shrew
2.- Year Long Disaster - Victory at Sea
3.- Year Long Disaster - Trading Favors
4.- Year Long Disaster - You Don't Want to Let Me Down
5.- Year Long Disaster - Shapeless Nasty

Torche - Meanderthal (2008)

We know something, though Meanderthal is Torche's best album so far, we got to acknowledge that currently, the band is missing one member. So, the right question is "HOW" will they continue to produce such a massive sludge sound? and if they would do, how the hell they gonna make it? I'm scared, but we shall have an aswer this year, unless the band does not release a new album, which I seriously doubt.
I got to say that in the beginning, I was amazed with The Sword. I mean, a couple of years back I was listening two new bands, when I used to care only about oldies like Kyuss, Cathedral, etc. I always had Torche like the second option, but this has changed, turning The Sword to occupy that place now. The thing is that maybe Torche has turned to be a much more solid band, that has evolved in every album, showing something new but still possessed by a roaring bestial sound. In this sense, this might be The Sword's flaw, because in the end their two albums are quite similar...or maybe I just overlistened the band. Anyway, let's ignore that alst comment, otherwise, everything I had said so far would mean a shit "JAJA".

Finally, the point and the trigger of this chit-chat is that Steve Brooks left something very clear when referring about Juan Montoya's loss: "Torche will still carry on a 3 piece band", which means he ain't filling in that hole, maybe he does not even consider that Montoya's left a hole when departing, and that's what we are about to find out. In this sense, Brook's idea of the next album might be sparking a whole shift in the band's sound, rather than to stick to the one in the previous albums, regarding that Montoya is absent and that's undeniable and I'm sure will have consequences.

Well, enjoy this piece pals and OH! I leave you a link to an interview, in which Brooks refers to Menaderthal.

"I know you are an old-school metal kid, what would the 14 year old Steve Brooks think of Torche?
I would’ve probably liked some of the brutal heavy stuff, but hated the singer."

Now, here is a second interview, I just tell you it is fuckin' hilarious and funny, a chit-chat between Juan Montoya and a guy called Steven Tanner from a band named "Harvey Milk", which of course I will look into, because Montoya loves the band and Torche does so...just check it up.

Brain Police - Brain Police [2003]

Well, I won't say stupid things this time. I won't talk about cigarretes or PS2 or whatever. (..) Today's noon is very sunny... I don't what the fuck I'm going to do the rest of the day...cuz' is just 13:42...I got some stuff there...they kick asses, but studying seems like an alternative, I have to study or...I'll be sleeping with the fishes, see?
Todays band comes from Iceland, the band name comes from Frank Zappa's song Who are the brain police? Nice tip?
I like this band because their sound brings me back memories from a Black Metal band called Ildjarn, from Nordway. I guess Stoner and Black Metal are nothing to do, but the guitar sound, I'm not talking about melodies, but pure sound, shape of sound. Ildjarn had this guitar sound, extremely saturated, very fat-swollen sound and like burned up, bursted, blew out; a really dirty garage or bassement sound. Astroqueen, Into Submission (2001) has exactly a similar sound in guitar, should check up that one if you haven't yet.
Brain Police got a nice singer, just as unmelodic as posible and sometimes drums and rythms remind me Brant Bjork, and some songs to also reminds me Cathedral's 1993 stoner masterpiece "The Ethereal Mirror".
Brain Police has quite a status in their land, and it seems that in the outlands, they're doing pretty well too. I really think this is a MUST check band, they certainly have come to give their sound an interesting and unique shape. This album has no weak songs, all of them rock, so feel free to rock the hell out of you when listening this band.

Tracklist:

1. One blow
2. Return to the Lovechopper of D

Are lookin' for some fuckin' rock and roll? So just get this jewel people, Chilean stoner at its best!

Kyuss - Last Session 1998

I was suppose to write this post and "post" this "post", yesterday. But I did not. Therefore, I do it today... I wish I had a cigarrete while writing this post, but I don't. I pity myself because I have in my ADIDAS "predator" backpack, one box of Argentinian Viceroy "blue blend"(still having 7mg Alquitran). They rock. They are like ten times better than half of Chilean cigarretes, and they're even light. Let's don't even mention how sweet the red ones are. But, the truth is that Argentinian tabacco is much better than Chilean one.
I don't know if tobacco has much to do with Kyuss, but feels like it. I found this weird album within my computer when clearing up. The disc has only 3 songs...but being a rarity within Kyuss discograhpy, I thought about up-loading it. I'd say is an interesting album with an opening song of about 8 minutes of lengh...so check it up before my cigarrete burns down. Rock y'all.

PD: I added this picture as "label", because everytime I trigger a kyuss search in google...this picture crops up. I think is nice, it kinda reminds me bangbross or **parade videos (jojojo).

Tracklist:

1.- Sandpiper
2.- Mudfly

Datura - Allisone [1998]

Datura is NZ band of power space sludge rock or stoner rock band. Datura has loads of 70s music influences in their riffs, so if you are into Black Sabbath, you gonna enjoy this band, cuz' it is much more powerfull and got a nice singer, whose voice resembles that of John García. Also, people like refers to this band when talking about the very best of Monster Magnet and Fu-Manchu, whenever it comes to a band with a "fat sound".

It is amazing how slang takes over when depicting the sound of a band, I wonder if everyone gets that, the generous ambiguity and free interpretation of things. Well pals, enjoy this one!

PD: the picture has nothign to do with the band =P

Cuz' if they're not, you just tell me and I will stop writing in such lame manners.

Yajaira - Lento y Real []

I guess everyone of us has at least one friend, one of those you can talk about music, bands and whatever related to this topic...I have this friend of mine, He kinda like bands from our place "CHILE", to name some we got Hielo Negro, Devil Presley, Tabernarios? and Yahaira. Last couple of days he turned a bit insistent in posting Yahaira's "Lento y Real" album and as I knew I will not wriggle out of it, I ended up listening the album to find a good band. This is more like psychodelich stuff, though it is stoner as well I would say yahaira's is more "psycho", because their sound has this sweet and nasty "trippy" effect on you. Well, just take your ears to it and enjoy it!

Demon Cleaner - The Freeflight [2000]

Well, I was suppose to keep up uploading the albums Decibel's magazine believe the best, but unexpectedly, I came up with Demon Cleaner's albums, then I remenbered that someone asked for them. So here I'm now fullfilling such request. Don't know many things about Demon cleaner, except that the band was formed in late 90s and broke up after their second release. After Demon Cleaner broke up, Daniel Lidén joined Dozer while Daniel Jansson and Snicken created Stonewall Noise Orchestra. Daniel Lidén and Daniel Jansson were also members of Greenleaf. Finally, this post is possible thanks to "Son of Desert", thanks man! you rock! Now let's get the album.

Kyuss - Wretch [1991]

For several years, there has been frequent speculation about the possibility of a Kyuss reunion. When asked in late 2004 about whether the band is ever coming back, Homme replied that this was unlikely to happen in the near future. However, on December 20, 2005, Garcia made a guest appearance onstage with Queens of the Stone Age during the encore of their set at the Wiltern LG in Los Angeles. They performed three Kyuss songs together: "Thumb", "Hurricane" and "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop".^[6] The band has been made numerous offers to reform, all of which they have turned down:

“

The offers come in all the time. They're getting more and more expensive, and more and more elaborate. The money is crazy, but I've never been tempted – I don't really care about the money, I never have. That's not what KYUSS was about, so to punctuate the end of our sentence with that would be blasphemy. KYUSS fans are so fuckin' rad, they're fuckin' badass — but to me, reunions are just not necessary. It's not what it was, it's what it is, and KYUSS was a really magical thing — and if you weren't there, well, you weren't. That's just the luck of the draw. I don't feel the urge to do it for somebody who didn't have the opportunity to see us, or just didn't take the opportunity to see us. I'll let other bands alter their great legacies. KYUSS has such a great history that it would be a total error. I like that nobody saw KYUSS, and that it was largely misunderstood. That sounds like a legend forming to me. I'm too proud of it to rub my dick on it. –Josh Homme, May 2007[7]

”

Scott Reeder also commented on a possible Kyuss reunion in early 2008, saying "I think everyone but Josh would do it in a heartbeat". This is due to Homme's commitments with his current band. Reeder also noted that he would "do it for free beer again".

Hermano - Into the exam room [2007]

Well, I'm posting this album so you stoned fellows may check up what Hermano's last album is it like. If you ask me, this far the most weird thing ever done by John Garcia and I don't know wheter for good or bad, it is just different, they sound fine, but they sound different..I would describe this album as clean, sophisticated, melancholy and elegant. Now, it is weird because I have never seen Garcia being so clean, he used to be the other way around. Therefore, it seems his taking new directions for his music.

Orange Goblin - Frecuencies of the planet ten [1997]

Well, here we have another Orange goblin's stoner album. I think I will probably post the three of them. This the second, so there's only one left. Well, in the first Orange Goblin's post I mentioned that nowadays they were playing something rather different. The reason for that is that two of the former members are no longer playing with band, which probably explains why they ended up playing what they play, nowadays. No more comments, just get the album cuz' it is a "nice" work.

Queens of the Stone Age - Homonime [1998]

Well, I think it was about time to post something of Josh Homme. Josh is a sucessful guy, that's something undeniable. I remenber long ago asking to a buddy why did he believe that Josh homme got to be so sucessful and John Garcia did not or any other Kyuss' ex-member. His answer was inquisitory "because shit flows man". Well, that ain't so true, I mean Josh does good stuff, only that he later took his band to different horizons. Besides, there's sth weird in all of us like to stop listening a band when it becomes too famous and all people and suckers start to talk about the band and whatever...yeh, that like shocks you and forces you to listen sth else, something more underground and special...it's just a personal feeling. Well, in any case, Josh did great things in the past, in what refers to stoner and that good and crazy past is encripted in this album, which I found it is a god damn kick in the ass! This is stoner pals. Qotsa's first album just rocks, so get it!!

Yawning Man - Rock Formations [2005]

Now, this a special post. In fact, it is so special that even saying this a one thousand star post, would not make it special enough. Yawning man is a cult and legendary band you need to listen. Furthermore, if you read up on the band, you may even get to understand where stoner comes from. Now, I leave you a comment to read, beause this guy knows to describe better than me what the fuck Yawning man is about. Just think about that Yawning man's music heavily influenced the likes of John Garcia, Josh Homme, and Brant Bjork to name only a few; who would later form the legendary stoner rock band Kyuss.

"Yawning Man was the sickest desert band of all time. You’d just be up there in the desert, everybody’d just be hanging, partying. And they’d show up in their van and just, mellow, drag out their shit and set up right about the time the sun was goin’ down, set up the generators, sometimes they’d just go up there and drink beers and barbecue. Sometimes it would be a scene; sometimes it would be very intimate. It was very casual and loose and everybody would like, while they’re playing, everyone would just lounge around. They were kinda like a house band. It wasn’t militant like Black Flag. It was very drugged, very stone-y, it was very mystical. Everyone’s just tripping, and they’re just playing away, for hours. Oh, they’re the GREATEST band I’ve ever seen.- Brant Bjork (2002)"

Tracklist:

1. "Rock Formations" (5:21)
2. "Perpetual Oyster" (5:22)
3. "Stoney Lonesome" (6:02)

Well, this post is to close that cycle of Argentinian stoner bands, which include Poseidotica and Buffalo. There's no need to tell which one is better, they're just different, though Los Natas and Buffalo may have a similar sound.

In short, this is the argument that brings Los Natas to this blog, judge for yourselves pals.
