JupiterSociety

JUPITER SOCIETY is the new project fronted by Carl WESTHOLM, known from other Swedish acts like CARPTREE and KRUX. The epic concept-album "First Contact - Last Warning" (2008) deals about some important days in a distant future. Is this "First contact" or "Last Warning" ?... The music is somewhere between two worlds, Progressive rock and heavy-metal. Here we'll find the ambient but symphonic production known from CARPTREE, with a clear presence of heavier elements. Big arrangements, small details, different vocalists and More»

Lumerians_2Psychedelic, Space Rock

'The High Frontier' sees the band push the edges of stoner rock, combining afrobeat influences, psychadelia song structures, post-punk guitars, starry dramatics, brash dance beats and vivid imagery to create a record that both dazzles & invigorates.
It's a cacophony of sound in which Lumerians acknowledge the role noise and rhythm has always played in transcendent and ecstatic rituals the world over. From the repetitious drums of tribal animists to the penetrating electronic pulses of neon dance clubs, The High Frontier sets scope outward, points blindfolded at a star map and sets off full blast without making course corrections.

RITUAL STEEL_1

Front_1It’s taken from new pledge-funded album Truth, Lies & Half Lies, which is released on May 15.

The band say of their fifth long-player: “It’s the best-sounding album that we’ve ever done. Not only that, but we’re hugely proud of the songs too. There is a band philosophy that each record has to be better than our last – and this is very much the case here.”

600x600There is something irrevocably indomitable about the British rock scene. Like a dog with a chew toy, it simply refuses to let go. Through nearly forty years of imitators trying to steal its crown, good old rock’n'roll has proven time and again that it simply will not go away.
Very much in the Guns n Roses, Thin Lizzy and Motley Crue molds, the Guttergodz fuse the altogether brash, fist-pumping and ever-so More»


Oblivious - Creating Meaning_1

Made In Sweden...

Transubstans veterans OBLIVIOUS is back on track, this time with the stunning 8-tracker "Creating Meaning"! Bluesy, groovy hard rock with flowing bass lines and mysterious riffs that resembles the inventiveness of LED ZEPPELIN and SABBATH, but also acts like DOZER or CLUTCH. Since their 2009 debut "Goons And Masters", OBLIVIOUS has not lost the harshness of the tone in their sound. During these four years, they've rather built up a more solid wall of sound, with well-arranged riffs and conceived 70's grooves. Explore this record if you wanna know what Transubstans is all about!

Ex Wife's Skull - The Ultimate FrightmareEX WIFE'S SCULL one succeeds in connecting the Sleaze rock of N GUNS ROSES with the vigorous hard rock of ZEPPELIN LED on her album "The Ultimate Frightmare". And also if they are resident at last already more in the Sleaze rock, she removes the line particularly appearing with the reef to the 70th thus a little bit of other tape of the genre.

CS-battle-on-cover-front_900_1

Steve Cone is a New York native and has been a member of several prominent bands in his years of making music. After relocating to the desert, Cone built a studio and started writing his own brand of metal, forged in the classic European tradition of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends such as Iron Maiden, Saxon but also Accept and Motorhead to name but a few.
His mix or heavy metal/ progressive hard rock is tempered with his own street-smart style picked up from his days of playing the dark, seedy clubs of New York City. The results have been nothing short of impressive with each Cone release topping its predecessor with intelligent yet wild songs about power, betrayal, and the various dark places in our minds.
