FurbishL Another banger from Bongtower. This band piqued my interest in the vast world of heavy Russian metal. They’ve gone away from their last two space themed ventures but they continue their tradition of doomy blues riffage. Hard to pick a favorite, but I like how tracks 6, 7 and 8 melt together to put the finishing touch on this story.

kamilsokyra A confident album, skillfully crafted, with a gritty sound and a dark grunge vibe. It's a downhill ride through the dunes of stoner desert rock. Favorite track: Lightriders.

satanicaleve After nine long years, Palm Desert return with a full-length that does not just meet expectations, it crushes them. Rays Of The Gold And Grays is Stoner Rock perfection from front to back: massive riffs, desert-baked grooves, and that warm, sun-scarred atmosphere fans of Kyuss will instantly connect with. Every track lands with purpose, confidence, and fire. If you love Stoner Rock in any form, this record is not just worth buying, it is essential. Favorite track: Son Of A Wind And Dust.
