Progressive Heavy Psych: For Fans Of: Rotor / Karma to Burn / Mastodon / Kanaan / Electric Moon / Slift.

'Ausdauer' is limited to 500cps heavy weight vinyl divided in 300x black | 200x yellow

Hailing from the city of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, BISMUT is a dynamic heavy psych trio that has been carving their unique path since forming in 2016. Drawing influences from an eclectic blend of genres including progressive rock, doom, metal, stoner, heavy psych, and classic hard rock, their music is an intense and mesmerizing fusion that transcends traditional boundaries. Their distinctive sound has earned them a dedicated fanbase, and their performances on stages across Europe have solidified their reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

New album Ausdauer marks the triumphant return of the band, following the success of their sold-out (on vinyl) previous releases, Schwerpunkt in 2018, and Retrocausality in 2020, released via Lay Bare Recordings. This album promises to be a sonic journey that delves even deeper into the band's diverse influences while pushing their sound to new heights. From thunderous, doom-laden riffs to mind-bending psychedelic explorations, the album seamlessly weaves together a tapestry of textures that will resonate with long-time fans and newcomers alike.

Ausdauer is a joint effort between the band's current Dutch label Lay Bare Recordings and the Spanish label Spinda Records. This collaboration brings together a diverse range of expertise, amplifying the album's potential for international recognition and success. The partnership aims to introduce the band's electrifying sound to a wider global audience, leveraging the strengths of both labels in their respective regions.

RRRAGS COMES UP WITH A NEW DOUBLE ALBUM!

As follow up of the album High Protein (2020) Rrrags comes up with a new album. A double album that is! 

After the success of High Protein RRRAGS took the time to follow up on their inner thoughts and sentiments hence they steered into a more dark psych direction. They took the time to experiment with just about all of their personal influences, resulting in a pretty versatile double album called Mundi. What stands out most about this album is the diversity of influences: Wiped is pure fuzzed-up Hendrix; Heart Of The Hive is uptempo garage rock and turns into stoner/doom; Light Up The Room is Stooges on downers; Slavic Heat is Celtic Frost in space; Final Word is lush psych pop in the Ty Segall vein; Walkers and It Feeds each have a motorik/space instrumental section that runs somewhere between Neu! and Hawkwind; Ararat and Galactic Strut are pure stoner/space jams.

MUNDI is heavier and spacier than RRRAGS previous work, while still familiar influences can be heard.

‘Heavy Psych Rock’ for fans of King Gizz & Ty Segall

LIMITED TO 250x Heavy weight black vinyl in gatefold

IN PRE-ORDER 21st of April - LOMA BAJA: a blend of post-everything-, electronic- analogic mystery rock from Spain!

LOMA BAJA is an experimental and mysterious band from Spain. Formed by Víctor Teixeira (Giganto, Another Kind Of Dead) on guitars; Pacomoto (G.A.S. Drummers) on bass, keys and vocals; Jorge García (Adrift, El Páramo) on synths, samplers, guitars and vocals; and Raúl Lorenzo (Sou Edipo) on drums. They started playing together with the idea of doing something completely different to the music they wrote with previous projects. ‘Piscinas verticales’ is the name of their debut album and it is the result of spending two years at the rehearsal studio with no established ideas, and experimenting with everything they could in order to find organically their sound. In their music, it is easy to hear bands such as Beak, Portishead, Fugazi, True Widow or Liars. The concept of the album goes around the idea of the spontaneous and surrealism, as if it was the soundtrack of a nightmare. ‘Piscinas verticales’ was recorded in the Summer of 2022 at Estudio Metropol (Spain) in live sessions conducted by producer Rafa Camisón, then mixed by himself at Estudio 79 (Spain) and mastered by Víctor García at Ultramarinos Costa Brava (Spain)
