We, Main Witch and Spellbinder, are thrilled to share with you our Top 25 Albums of 2024 (from our humble perspective). Of course, there are many other albums that deserve a spot on this list, but we decided to keep it concise. It’s important to note that the order of the list doesn’t imply ranking …
Forever Spoken by WITCHPIT is a beast of an album. It’s heavy, raw, and unapologetically southern in its metal swagger. If you’re into sludgy riffs that feel like they’re dragging you through a swamp and rhythms that hit like a freight train, you’re in for a treat. At its core, this album feels like an …
Stoner rock is all about immersing yourself in sound – letting riffs wash over you, like waves of distortion-driven hypnosis. Big Muff Brigade’s debut album, π, doesn’t just play by the genre’s rules; it leans into them with unrelenting energy and just enough flair to make it their own. This is the sound of a …
1000mods have been around for a long time now, and with Cheat Death, they’ve definitely cranked things up. The band’s classic heavy rock sound is still there, but this album feels a little different – more intense, more raw. It’s like they’ve taken that familiar heaviness and added a bit more grit and punch to …
Listening to Borehead’s Vita est Morte est Vita feels like stepping into a vast, shadowy world. This South London trio doesn’t use words to guide you through their music – everything they have to say is in the sound. And it’s a lot. Across four tracks, they build layers of heavy, fuzzed-out riffs, pulsing basslines, …
So, here’s the deal with The Last Odyssey – it’s big, it’s loud, and it’s unapologetically fuzzy. Deaf Lizard isn’t messing around. This album grabs you by the collar and drags you into its swirling, psychedelic haze. You’re not just listening to it; you’re kinda living in it for the whole runtime. The guitars are …
Some albums demand your attention right out of the gate, and Sangue e Veleno by Deep Valley Blues is one of them. This isn’t music that eases you in; it pulls you by the collar, throws you into its heavy, mud-slicked riffs, and doesn’t let go until the last chord fades. It’s raw, heavy blues …
BLUE HERON’s Everything Fades is stoner rock in full, raw form — a thunderous dive into the heart of the desert. With each track, the band channels the vastness and grit of the Southwest, where saturated, fuzz-heavy guitars and pulsing rhythms reverberate like thunder across an open plain. Steeped in the DNA of classic desert …
With Saturnalia, Wizzerd drops an album that feels both grounded in classic Stoner/Doom Metal and unexpectedly expansive. This one’s heavy, hazy, and unhurried – basically everything you’d want from doom, but with a spacey, cosmic vibe that adds a whole new dimension. It’s the kind of record that makes you want to just sit back, …
With Ashes and Bone, The Electric Mud returns in a big way, blending their signature Southern rock grit with stoner heaviness and a touch of prog complexity. Right from the start, the vibe is darker and more intense than their previous work, but they never lose that raw, energetic spirit. Musically, they’ve dialed up the …
