Heavy Medicine

 Because I had a craving for this recently, I am sharing 

Best of 2025 May - August

 

New Graham Bywater Release..

TORSO: ANNIHILATION DAY

Ever since Grownman turned me on to Possessor in 2014 I have been a huge fan of Graham Bywater, the band's singer, guitar player and songwriter. His new solo project TORSO has now released music in each of the last three years.  This is one of my favorites from TORSO's August 29th release: 

Graham, with his affinity for horror movies and 1970s art style and imagery, could be likened to Rob Zombie in terms of vision, but with a raunchier and dirtier style of music.  However you want to describe it, I love it and recommend you go check it out here on Bandcamp.

Graham is from London.

New Margarita Witch Cult

 

MARGARITA WITCH CULT: 

STRUNG OUT IN HELL

Two years ago, this band put out my #2 favorite album of 2023, and now they're back with another album of the year contender.  I preordered this when I heard about it, and have been listening to it since its release on July 18th.  These guys are no nonsense; just guitar, bass and drums and an old-school hard rock attitude.  Check these out:

The album includes a heavy version of Billy Idol's "White Wedding".  Here's a live version where the vocals seem to be possibly edited but the instruments seem legit.

Margarita Witch Cult are from Birmingham, the city that produced Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.

They are (l-r):

   

Scott Abbott - Vocals & Guitars

George Caswell - Drums & Vocals
James Brown - Bass, Vocals, Synth, Mellotron, Guitars

Check out all nine tracks here

Have Some Heavy Metal

OK Grownman usually supplies the metal posts and I supply the stoner rock, but tonight I'm posting some choice metal from 12 years ago.  It came up on my shuffle, and I remembered how sick this album was, and in particular this tune: 

Los Buscadores del Movimiento Perpetuo (LBDMP) are from Buenos Aires.  

They are currently:

Hernán Pérez - Vocals
Lucas Martínez - Guitar
Guido Soldini - Bass

Damián Sagaian - Drums

Hope you enjoyed this memory, or heard something you didn't know about.

 SKULLDOZER: BLOODY GROUND

Instant Album Of The Year Contender

I yam what I yam and I likes what I likes.  Portland's SkullDozer has given us a perfect combination of classic metal and stoner rock ideas, and I can't get enough of it.  Check out the opening track on their High Tide album:

SkullDozer is:

Ben House -Vocals
Justin Morgan -Guitars
Jay Erbe -Drums
Dylan Wills -Bass

Go forth, stand up and fight for that which is heavy!

Stoner Rock #60

 

Some tunes for you to peruse.

Hope you enjoy!
