Gin Lady - Call The Nation (2015)

Gin Lady from sweden formed in early 2011 and released in 2012 their same titled debut, which got positive feedback all over the globe.

The group is influenced by artists such as The Faces, Alice Cooper, Master’s Apprentices, Cream and Blue Oyster Cult. The sound is straightforward and heading for the roots of rock. Earlier ventures Black Bonzo and The All Janet clearly show the members taste for detail and perfection in their sound and songwriting.

On their new album ‘Call the nation’ the band shows their talent for catchy melodies and songwriting in the best tradition of The Black Crowes and from the heydays of Heavyrock from the seventies.

Isaak - Sermonize (2015)

With their second full-length under their current moniker, Genova-based heavy rockers Isaak hit their stride. Their earlier-2015 Heavy Psych Sounds split with Mos Generator gave advance notice of some significant growth in their sound since the 2012 release of their Small Stone debut, The Longer the Beard the Harder the Sound (streamed here), but with Sermonize, they affirm more open stylizations and increased penchant for atmosphere, making the 12 included tracks a richer, more engaging listening experience. Remarkably, the band — vocalist Giacomo H. Boeddu, guitarist Francesco Raimondi, drummer/vocalist Andrea Tabbi de Bernardi and bassist Massimo Perasso (who since the recording has been

Duel - Announce European Tour 2016

HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS Records&Booking

is proud to announce the European Tour for DUEL.

Duel is heavy psychedelic stoner doom metal from Austin, Texas. Hugely influenced by the darker sounds of early 70’s Proto-metal. Features two ex Scorpion Child (Nuclear Blast)members. Their sound is menacing and brutally old school. Total purists, their tunes cut right to the bone with heavy, deep groove and blistering tone. Tough and Loud! Hard rock as it should be!

Mammothwing - Morning Light (2015)

MAMMOTHWING were formed under the blood red moon of summer solstice 2013.

Coming from a blues/doom/psych background, the strange sounds of brothers Marty Fisher (guitar + vocals) and Billy Fisher (bass + vocals) melded perfectly with the trancelike grooves of Kev Richardson Jr (drums).

In the centre of Nottingham, England, their self built studio ‘The Room of Doom’ was to be home to sonic experimentation and debauchery. Improvised jams flowed into full tilt rock. No two shows were the same. People listened, people cried.

Witchcraft - Nucleus (2016)

Swedish classic / doom rock masters WITCHCRAFT have released their eagerly anticipated new album, »Nucleus«.

„»Nucleus« surprises and fascinates with unforeseen heaviness, rigidity and darkness. Doom revisited!" DEAF FOREVER (GER) / Andreas Himmelstein >>> ALBUM OF THE MONTH

"WITCHCRAFT's new album is simply addictive. An exciting hippie-esque mixture of stoner rock, doom elements and folk rock retro sound!" ECLIPSED (GER) / Michael Lorant >>> ALBUM OF THE MONTH

Mothership - Live Over Freak Valley (2016)

After the rerelease of their momentous second album and a storming start to 2015, Mothership – the hard rocking supersonic/intergalactic Texan trio – have today unleashed their brand new live album, Live Over Freak Valley on Ripple Music.

Recorded at their debut European appearance at the iconic German rock festival, brothers Kyle and Kelly Juett along with Judge Smith have captured their steaming hot stew of UFO and Iron Maiden inspired metal; southern Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top swagger, and deathly Sabbathian doom. A concoction that should by all accounts prove too heavy to handle on record, but as fans will soon discover, Live Over Freak Valley will deliver the filth and fury of the full Mothership live experience.
