Summer of Hate - Blood & Honey / Tee Pee Records
https://summerofhate.bandcamp.com/album/blood-honey
Drawing from the psychedelic well of 1960s rock and pop, as well as the genre’s 1980s revival – channelling the spirit of Echo & the Bunnymen, The Church, and The Jesus and Mary Chain – Summer of Hate fuse post-punk energy, noise-rock textures, and traces of Middle Eastern folk traditions into a sound that is unmistakably their own.
Invictus (Japan) - Nocturnal Visions / Memento Mori / Me Saco Un Ojo
https://mesacounojo.bandcamp.com/album/nocturnal-visions
Conceived in Nagano City back in 2015, INVICTUS' original goal was to play death metal with hints of technicality and a strong thrash metal edge, combining the morbid grooves and abhorrent atmospherics of all archaic death metal gods (Death, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, Brutality, Mercyless, Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Obituary, early Decapitated, Sadistic Intent, early Cannibal Corpse) and prioritizing the creation of songs crammed with commanding riffs over any other aspect of their putrescent music. While the target remains the same, the band is now exploring a broader spectrum of riff-oriented death metal in order to aggravate the carnage, exuding a more pernicious aural decay and bludgeoning the listener into submission by some of the meatiest and most vitriolic death metal conceivable.
SYBERIA - Quan tot s'apagui / Moment of Collapse Records
https://syberia.bandcamp.com/album/quan-tot-sapagui
For over a decade, SYBERIA have carved out a sound that speaks loudly without ever uttering a word. Their music is a collision of cinematic atmospheres, explosive dynamics and guitar- driven emotional heft, the kind that pulls you in slowly before overwhelming you with sheer, deliberate force. What makes SYBERIA compelling is their ability to balance patience with intensity. Tracks often begin with fragile, shimmering lines - clean guitars stretched over spacious reverb - before gradually stacking tension until everything erupts into a wall of distortion. Yet the payoff never feels gratuitous. Their climaxes are earned, sculpted with a careful sense of pacing that reflects a band deeply in tune with the architecture of instrumental storytelling.
Aeon Temple - Æon Temple / Independent
https://aeontemple.bandcamp.com/album/on-temple
AEON TEMPLE from Essen in the German Ruhr Area showcases the band's very unique blend of Stoner, Psychedelic Rock and Heavy Metal. This is Aeon Temple's first newly recorded music since their 4-track-EP from 2016.
LORD ELEPHANT - Ultra Soul / Heavy Psych Sounds
https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lord-elephant-ultra-soul
Since their formation in 2016, Italy's Lord Elephant has been carefully brewing their potent sonic cocktail, and their 2022 debut album "Cosmic Awakening" (Heavy Psych Sounds) served it up just right: its thunderous dose of psychedelia, stoner, doom, and blues hit the scene hard to critical acclaim.
