I've only had this for a day, but it's already one of my top few favorite albums of the year, and one of my favorites from this band.
Brimstone Coven are from West Virginia. They are:
Corey Roth: Guitar, Vocals
Andrew D'Cagna: Bass, Vocals
Dave Trik: Drums
You can find this stoner rock/stoner doom gem here on Bandcamp

Sölicitör: Enemy In Mirrors
Seattle's Sölicitör is back with a full-length old-school heavy metal album, not sounding like,
but clearly influenced by bands like Metal Church and Judas Priest
Sölicitör are (were):
Matthew Vogan - guitars Patrick Fry - guitars Damon Cleary-Erickson - bass Johan Waymire - drums Amy Lee Carlson - vocals
I say "were", because guitar player Patrick Fry has just left the band, and they are currently looking for a replacement. If interested, see their Facebook page for requirements and how to apply for the job.
You can find this banger of an album on Bandcamp here.
A week ago today, Ukraine's Stoned Jesus released this gem of an album.
This opening track drew me in hard; lots of great stuff going on here:
These guys have been playing for quite a while, and it shows. Excellent musicians and songwriters, these guys never disappoint.
Stoned Jesus are (l-r):
Yurii Ciel – drums, backing vocals
Igor Sydorenko – vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards Andrew Rodin – bass, backing vocals
You can check out the rest of the album, as well as a music video, here.
And released today, newly released tracks by Elder:
ELDER: LIMINALITY/DREAM STATE RETURN
The band describes these two tracks as fragments written between the Omens and Innate Passage albums, reworked last winter. Both tracks are immense, but I'm posting the shorter, second track:
Elder are originally from Massachusetts, but now reside in Berlin. The lineup here is:
Nicholas DiSalvo Jack Donovan Michael Risberg Georg Edert
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.
