Castle Rat

Last week, Brooklyn band Castle Rat released their latest album of Medieval stoner metal anthems for all of us crazy guys and gals out here.  It's a niche sound, but a fucking killer one.  Dig on penultimate track "Sun Song" below and get "The Bestiary" here from Blues Funeral.

Blue Heron

From the desert and mountains of Albuquerque, New Mexico comes the heavy, doom-laden sounds of Blue Heron.  The band's new album ,"Everything Fades," is full of stoner riffs, grungey vocals, and droning desert rock tones.  Dig on "Swansong" below and get the LP here from Blues Funeral Recordings.

delving

Stoner/doom metal band Elder's front man Nick DiSalvo also makes music with his side project delving.  On new album "All Paths Diverge," the artist crafts sprawling and epic soundscapes mixing elements of prog and psych to glorious effect.  Check out "Omnipresence" below and grab the new LP here from Blues Funeral Recordings.

Lord Buffalo

That mix of hard rock, metal, folk, and Americana just seems to hit all the right spots for me most days, and Austin band Lord Buffalo have it in spades on upcoming new album "Holus Bolus."  Check out the title track below and pre-order the record here from Blues Funeral Recordings.

Spotlights

New York band Spotlights released one of my favorite albums of 2019, and now they're back with a new EP of crushing stoner metal meets space rock guitar riffs to blast us all to smithereens before the asteroids hit.  Listen to "Part IV" below and get the "We Are All Atomic" EP here from Blues Funeral Recordings.
