The mighty TRUCKFIGHTERS’ own label, Fuzzorama Records, and
Century Media Records team up to floor the gas and fuzz pedal. The Örebro,
Sweden based band was formed in 2001 by Oskar “Ozo” Cedermalm (vocals &
bass) and Niklas “Dango” Källgren (guitar). Since that time, they have released
four studio albums and several more releases through their own label Fuzzorama
Records – including the 2011 DVD

Farflung - "5" (2016)
If there were ever proof that stoner rock has become its own
genre, it would be the fact that an album would have song titles like
"Endless Drifting Wreck" and "Silver Shrooms" -- given the
band, it would actually be more surprising if it didn't have song titles like
that. Farflung have been at it often and long enough that by this point their
jacked-up space boogie -- still audibly in debt to the patron saints of the
whole shebang, Hawkwind, but no less enjoyable for that reason -- gives exactly
what anyone who favors the approach would want: great album graphics perfect
for black T-shirts, more echo slathered over the vocals than imaginable, and a

Valley Of The Sun - Volume Rock (2016)
Volume Rock. Of all the words in the English language that
could be drawn upon to illustrate the sheer
sound and substance of Cincinnati’s Valley Of The Sun, you’d be hard pressed to
find two better. Picking up
directly where they left off on last year’s Electric Talons Of The Thunderhawk,
the Queen City rockers are back in
2016 with a brand new album on Sweden’s formidable Fuzzorama Records.
Set for release on 29th April, Volume Rock is the
culmination of the band’s determination and ability to not only write and record great rock songs, but also their
drive and ambition to become one of the

Brutus - Wandering Blind (2016)
Oslo’s Brutus are one of those rare breed, a solid and
non-corrupted pure blues/hard-rock powerhouse, started by three Swedes and two
Norwegians ten years ago and openly in awe of Leaf Hound, Grand Funk Railroad,
and Blue Cheer, right on the fence separating the ’60s from the ’70s when
musicians were already letting their hair hang but had yet to compromise their
vision to please the money-hungry business man.
Recorded live in four days only at Engfelt &
Forsgren Studios in Oslo by Christian Engfelt, who already worked with Cato
Salsa Experience and Big Bang, Brutus’ third album, Wandering Blind, is as
honest and down-to-earth as it gets: no modern tricks, no pose,

Wo Fat - Midnight Cometh (2016)
"Wo Fat have always held a special place in my heart
with their obese riffs, destructive rhythms and slow plodding sense of sonic
annihilation. They are one of those bands who have always managed to come off
as 'heavier than thou' and the chunkier it gets the easier it is to fall in
love. While yes, Midnight Cometh does have improvisational passages that get a
bit masturbatory in many ways that only adds to the stoned rock and roll charm
that Wo Fat so proudly use in order to cultivate a distinct sound and aesthetic.
The inherent jam magic of Midnight Cometh is powerful
because it invokes a sort of live magic that you don't often get on wax. While

Bright Curse - Before The Shore (2016)
Formed in London in 2012 out of the expatriated ashes of
French psychedelic rock band Soul Manifest, Bright Curse is a band that
requires little introduction to anyone that has kept a close ear to the
underground in recent years.
This May, the trio – featuring guitar player and vocalist
Romain Daut, drummer Zacharie Mizzi and newest member Max Ternebring on bass –
will follow up on their 2013 self-titled EP with the release of their
full-length debut, Before The Shore, on HeviSike Records. Another rising star
and staple of the subterranean/heavy-psychedelic set that has been making a

Red Spektor - Red Spektor (2016)
Fusing the more engaging key elements of psychedelic, stoner
and classic rock, new wave Brit rockers "Red Spektor" spit out rock n
roll riffs that are hypnotic, energetic and genuinely gripping.
The power trio set about honing their craft in the rehearsal
room, soaking up influence from the likes of King Crimson, Black Rebel
Motorcycle Club, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Peter Greens' Fleetwood Mac -
and were soon in a place where they could take their music to the masses, with
a cluster of shows as the band laid siege on the UK.
The rock n rollers have now turned their attention to
recording their
Black Rainbows - Stellar Prophecy (2016)
This new effort from the fuzzy trio follows closely the 2015
release of their fourth full-length "Hawkdope" on Heavy Psych Sounds.
BLACK RAINBOWS' frontman Gabriele Fiori comments:
"Stellar Prophecy is in line with our previous record
"Hawkdope" released last year. It's made of seven songs for a total
running time of fourty-four minutes. You'll be able to enjoy two long suites
("Golden Widow", "The Travel"), a couple of super fuzzy
classics ("Electrify", "Is Time to Die"), as well as a
70's-sounding hit ("Woman"). The rest is to be discovered by the
listener! We're very happy with this album and find it very well-balanced: it's
spacey,
Electric Citizen - Higher Time (2016)
I was first really introduced to Electric Citizen back in
November when I saw them opening for Pentagram on two consecutive nights at
Saint Vitus Bar. I remember being immediately struck by the power of this band,
from Laura Dolan's stunning vocals to the driving power of her husband Ross's
riffs. Electric Citizen fully understand
the power of rock and roll and have been able to craft a sound that perfectly
reflects their own individual talents. Tapping into occult, almost Coven-esque
vibes, as well as invoking the burning rock and roll energy of a band like Blue
Cheer, the good folks in Electric Citizen have put out a top notch psych rock
record with Higher Time. One of my most hotly anticipated albums of the
