Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
With End of Time, their third full-length offering, the Eindhoven trio doesn’t merely refine their sound – they expand it into a sprawling, immersive experience. The addition of drummer Jarno van Osch proves to be a defining shift, injecting fresh momentum into the band’s already formidable foundation. The result is an album that feels both […]
On a quiet night when the city is winding down, Silver and Gold comes off like a last-minute set recorded in the low light of a dive – raw and uncut. The album feels like a record of long, rough sessions, with every chord bearing the marks of countless rough nights. In a sea of […]
Weed Demon’s latest slab of heaviness, The Doom Scroll, is a beast that drags you through stoner doom’s swampy trenches while tossing in some unexpected death and thrash metal punches. Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, these guys have been grinding out sludgy, riff-driven tunes for years, and their new album feels like they’ve decided to kick […]
I’m going to be short today! Causes doesn’t give you what you expect right away. From the start, you can tell HAVEN isn’t in a hurry. The music drifts, moves at its own pace, and sometimes leaves you hanging before anything heavy hits. When it does, it doesn’t feel rushed – it’s like the moment […]
Plasticdrop’s Life, Death, and Miracles is one of those albums that feels bigger the more you listen to it. At first, it might just sound like a solid heavy rock record—lots of crunching guitars, pounding drums, and raw energy. But once you spend some time with it, you start to notice all these little moments […]
Right off the bat, The Humble Collapse grabs your attention. It’s not a flashy album, nor does it try to be. Instead, it settles into a groove that feels lived-in, like a well-worn leather jacket. This is modern stoner rock at its most deliberate – heavy, textured, and unapologetically introspective. The album’s heart lies in […]

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, Ď€, 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 […]
I gave Hallowmas a few spins, and I’m still wrestling with it. I can tell you that it’s a heavy album, that’s for sure. The guitars are thick—like thick—and I kind of dig that. It’s not your standard doom drone either. There’s an energy in there, something that moves more than I expected from something […]
