Artist: Repomen
Album: Roadkill
Year: 2008
Genre: Punk N’ Roll / Stoner Metal

I’m a lazy fucker so here’s the last.fm description:
Repomen are a heavy stonerrock band from Eindhoven, Netherlands. There members consist of 3 ex-Borehole members (Roel Aben Mo Truijens & Miriam Bekkers) and Peter van Elderen, who is also known as the leadguitarist/leadsinger of the Dutch hard rock’n’roll band ‘Peter Pan Speedrock’. Repomen have a really hard and heavy stoner sound, but often rock & roll influences are recognizable.

I have no clue as to where, when or how this band ended up in my collection but I’m sure glad I stumbled on it today. This is the shit!!

Artist: Imperial Battlesnake
Album: Sentinels of the Hardlands
Year: 2009
Genre: Epic Stoner Metal

“Imagine that somewhere in the middle of a deep, black ocean five Rock and Roll soldiers emerge form their under-a-skull-shaped-volcano studio and proudly hoist their flag, emblazoned with only one word: “ATTACK!”. One need not use their imagination to see that IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE wastes no time dropping the gauntlet and charging forward into an aural war with its first full-length album “ATTACK!”, Not just the title of the album, “ATTACK!” is a battle cry for the legions of Metal militiamen who want nothing more than to see real Metal return and blast corporate faux-Metal into paste.” ~ last.fm

Imperial Battlesnake is not exactly my cup of tea but they are giving this one away for FREE at CDbaby and who doesn’t like FREE things?!

Epic Metal: Imperial Battlesnake – Sentinels of the Hardlands

Artist: Planet of Zeus
Album: Eleven The Hard Way
Year: 2008
Genre: Stoner Rock/Metal

Planet of Zeus hail from Athens, Greece and “Eleven The Hard Way” may be their only album but at least it’s a good album. Unlike Speedblow (another Greek band I have gushed over) who play Stoner Metal w/ Doom, Planet of Zeus lay down some killer Stoner Rock with a Southern Metal vibe. They kind of remind me of Solace with the vocals that go from screaming to singing and back to screaming along with a few speaker melting guitar solos.

Artist: We’re All Gonna Die
Album: The Wreck of the Minot
Year: 2005
Genre: Stoner Metal

Yes, We’re All Gonna Die but until then let’s listen to awesome music everyday. Boston’s We’re All Gonna Die is either on break or has disbanded, I don’t know. One of the bands members (the singer) has gone on to form 1/3 of Black Thai with a former band member of Cortez. Since the day I found Black Thai’s 2 song demo, I have play it a few times every day. The vocals are awesome and the riffs are legendary. (Black Thai better put out a full-length album or Milt will cut their balls off.)
Anyway “The Wreck of the Minot” is a roller-coaster of riffs, rhythms and emotions. The songs weave from thrashing stoner metal to Reveille style rapcore to metalcore-ish melodies and back to grinding screaming riffs. Again this an album I picked up on eMusic but never gave it a proper listen. (Kick-self-in-ass.)
If you like Black Thai and can’t fucking wait for them to put out more music then We’re All Gonna Die might hole-you-over for a while.

Artist: Helldrivers
Album: Helldrivers
Year: 2009
Genre: Stoner Metal

I know nothing about these guys. But what I do know is that they are not “The Hell Drivers” from Detroit nor are they the German band “Helldriver“. But if you liked the last post or The Red Coil then this shits gonna make you freak out.

Artist: Megasus
Album: Megasus
Year: 2009
Genre: Stoner/Thrash/Sludge/Doom Metal

Their website bio page reads like the back of a video-game box which makes sense because from what I do know of these guys they had something to do with a popular video-game called Guitar Hero or some shit like that. I’m also pretty sure they are from Providence, R.I. which seems to be farting out Sludge/Doom acts like a good ol’ Downeast bean supper.

It took me a few listens to get into this album because the tracks don’t really flow into one another like some other Sludge/Doom albums do. But now that I’m past my OCD I’m finding that this is an album that will be in heavy rotation for the next few days. I’d say this fits in between Black Tusk, The Fucking Wrath and Electric Wizard so if that shit gets you hard then this will make you nut for sure.

Artist: Forged in Flame
Album: Forged in Flame EP
Year: 2008
Genre: Stoner Metal

Wow who would think that the mild-mannered state of Ohio would be the home of some heavy ass metal bands such as Chimaria, Fistula, Lo-Pan, Reg Giant and these metal monsters Forged in Flame.
Here’s how I found these guys: I was searching Newburycomics.com for Solace and one of the search results was for a concert poster. Among the list of bands was Backwoods Payback. After a search for Backwoods Payback I landed on their Facebook page. While on their FB page I saw that they played a show with Forged in Flame who also have a FB page.

Artist: The Red Coil
Album: Slough Off EP
Year: 2009
Genre: Stoner Rock with a Metal Edge

I found a link to this free EP on some other bands MySpace page and of course I can’t remember what band it was. The Red Coil are an Italian Stoner Rock/Metal band that have a great sound kind of like God Smack but not as commercial.

Artist: Black Tusk and ASG
Album: Low Country
Year: 2009
Genre: Stoner Metal, Sludge

The release date of Black Tusk’s new album is slowly approaching so in the meantime here’s a split album with Black Tusk and ASG.  Black Tusk cranks out some killer Sludge/Thrash and ASG lays down some serious Stoner Metal.

Artist: Sonic Ritual
Album: Mother Hearse
Year: 2009
Genre: Stoner Metal

I stumbled on to Sonic Ritual a few nights ago while browsing Bandcamp. I found them under “doom metal” which I guess is close but I think they sound like another version of Black Sabbath and The Sword. And that’s a good thing because I like Black Sabbath and The Sword and you do to.

Anyway “Mother Hearse” is a 5 song EP that they are selling for dirt cheap that’s a pretty good listen.
