3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 1 of 129 INTRODUCTION After years of pondering over how awesome it would be to release a compilation of bands from all around the world, we have finally gone and done just that! We asked bands to submit a song and bio for this huge compilation and the response was fantastic. This free e-book is our way of saying thanks to the readers of Heavy Planet and a terrific way to promote some amazing bands spanning the Stoner Rock, Doom, Psychedelic and Sludge Metal genres. Many thanks goes out to all of the bands and labels for allowing us to use their music and most of all to you the readers for making Heavy Planet what it has become today. Cheers! Enjoy and Doom on! ~Reg 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 2 of 129 THE ALBUM TITLE I asked my talented group of writers to come up with a name for the compilation and a bunch of different titles were thrown around but one truly encapsulated what Heavy Planet is about. Misha suggested..."Bong Hits From the Astral Basement", we all agreed and here it is, sixty-one of the finest bands from all around the world. Following are the biographies of each band and the artist that contributed the killer artwork. 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 3 of 129 THE BANDS 1000MODS 1000mods is a psychedelic/stoner rock band from Chiliomodi, Greece. They were formed in the summer of 2006 and since then, they have played over 100 live shows, including openings for Brant Bjork, Colour Haze, Karma to Burn, My Sleeping Karma, Radio Moscow and many others. Their commitment to vintage equipment, thick and heavy analog sound and their remarkably passionate on stage performance is what sets them apart. In the beginning of 2007 they released their first (self-financed) EP “Blank Reality” on CD, and in December 2009 they stroke back with a brand new 7’’ EP titled “Liquid Sleep”, available on coloured (light green) Vinyl by SuiSound(CTS prods). They also released a limited edition split tape with the German psy-doomsters Wight. In October 2010, the almighty Billy Anderson, the man behind legendary albums (Sleep, Melvins, Neurosis, Om, Los Natas, Orange Goblin etc…), visited Greece in order to produce the band’s debut album “Super Van Vacation”. Malleus Art Rock Lab took care of the artwork. In September 2011, the German label Kozmik Artifactz 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 4 of 129 released the album on Double Vinyl and the Greek label CTS prods on Digipack CD. 1000mods toured Europe during October 2011, in order to promote their new album. They played 25 gigs in 12 countries. Some of the tour's highlights were appearing as special guests in Up In Smoke 3 and supporting White Hills. Lineup: Dani / Bass & Vox, Giannis / Guitars, George / Guitars, Labros / Drums ((facebook|bandcamp)) ______________________________________________________________________ ASHES OF IRON A cold February in Sunderland 2011 saw Ashes of Iron hit the studio to record their debut album with Neil (The Beast) Bassett. With desire and dedication, the eleven tracks were done, fine tuned and polished ready to be sent to the states to be mixed and mastered. Jason Groves (Asylum on the hill/Supafuzz) at Sneak Attack studios in Lexington Kentucky used his expertise along with David Angstrom (Hermano/Asylum on the hill) to add depth to the mix and master the huge sound they were looking for while adding the polish to a debut to be proud of, and proud they are. Ashes of Iron are five strong and a passionate song writing force. Playing melody driven heavy blues rock with wattage and vigour. Their aggressive yet refined sound is organic, expressive and expansive (with a hint of blueberries). Ashes Of Iron live shows are all about the groove, the energy and the intensity, the duelling guitars tuned down to a thunderous growl, the pumping bass, the addictive choruses and melodies that can be so subtle and subdued, then in an instant smash you in the face. The direction Ashes Of Iron take to manipulate these grooves and song structures is what makes them unique to the bands of the same calibre. 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 5 of 129 With some great support slots under their belt (Therapy?, Viking Skull, Brant Bjork, Desert Fest) the London debut for Ashes of Iron could not have been written any better, opening up for John Garcia plays Kyuss at a sold out Electric ballroom. Now the album is complete, 2012 is set for promoting the album and working with creative visual minds. Videos for Pharmacopoeia and Sanefull pushed Ashes Of Iron’s reputation further, spreading the word, showcasing what they are about. ((facebook|bandcamp)) ______________________________________________________________________ ASTRALNAUT Astralnaut formed in the later half of 2011, the day after Halloween. Connections were made instantly with the members and to date they have been gigging ferociously up and down the country promoting their first release ‘Back To The Bog’. With the imminent unearthing of their first single and second E.P and many plans for the future, have no time to slack and don’t plan on it. It‘s exciting times musically in Ireland and we are honored to be a part of it… ((facebook|bandcamp)) ______________________________________________________________________ 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 6 of 129 BARON GREENBACK Baron Greenback was formed at the start of 2009 and is based in the Midlands and South West England, U.K. Although the ethos of the band is inextricably rooted in respect for the pioneers of heavy music of the 1970s, Baron Greenback plays music which incorporates a variety of styles, influences and dynamics. Baron Greenback successfully completed its debut EP in 2011, which was mastered by producer Joe Gibb of Mighty Atom Studios (Jane's Addiction, Million Dead, Taint). The EP, which receives regular airplay on online radio shows, is available in full for listening at the band's Reverbnation site. Shows :The band has spent 2012 gigging intensively around the Midlands and South West England with various touring bands which are well-known to the scene, such as Serpent Venom, Karma to Burn, Gouranga, Desert Storm and Alunah, as well as with local favourites Welcome Back Delta, Slab, Kateleptic and a host of others. In the summer of 2012 Baron Greenback competed solidly in the Metal 2 The Masses, West Midlands competition for a chance to appear at the Bloodstock festival, progressing to the final. The band intends to enter the competition again in 2013. The feedback from all shows has been overwhelmingly positive with audiences struck by the band's powerful, well-honed performances. The Future: Baron Greenback will support Swedish classic rock superstars Graveyard 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 7 of 129 at The Fleece in Bristol on 2 December 2012. In between its busy gigging schedule, the band has written some epic music for a full- length release. Baron Greenback intends to return to the studio in 2013 to record its first album, which the band intends to promote at shows and via an online campaign. Members: Andy - Drums, Max - Vocals, Mike - Guitars, Chris “Rooster” - Bass ((facebook|reverbnation)) ______________________________________________________________________ BONEWORM "The themes on Boneworm's self-titled debut are brutish and desolate. Songs of love have their place in timid ballads and frivolous pop ephemera. But concepts like failure and crushing doubt are burdensome beasts that are best caged and conveyed in music that is unafraid to handle them. This has always been the dire necessity of metal music. Boneworm tells these tales by calling upon rasped howls, punishing bass, and the occasional guitar solo that delicately pulls us aside and promises that nothing will ever be ok again. For a genre that is frequently looking outward into the psychedelic aether, Boneworm offers their doom with a sense of crushing immediacy. Which is the more terrifying, the intricate words of a sinister hex being cast, or plaintively being told that nothing matters because time is already 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 8 of 129 against you? To be fair, imagery of bubbling cauldrons and mystic dimensions is overkill when you're already writing your music against the backdrop of Portland, Orygun. A discerning ear will detect the homages and influences, but Boneworm's sound is brewed and bottled in a northwest style. This is the soundtrack to rain-slick blacktop glowing under sodium lamps. This is the thump and rattle of freight trains and rattling windows in the industrial district. This is the distinct sound of Cascadian doom. Boneworm is Tim Burke. Tim plays guitar and shoulders the burden of knowing exactly how you are going to die. Boneworm is Dave Becker. Dave plays bass and, like a lich or a Roman emperor, only seems to be growing more powerful with age. Boneworm is Chaz Rocker. Chaz plays drums and hangs out with your Camaro-driving uncle. Ask about the weekend they drove to Reno." ((facebook|bandcamp)) ______________________________________________________________________ BOSS 302 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 9 of 129 BOSS 302 is a 3 piece hard rock band from S.Jersey signed to Toil Records out of Philadelphia who released their debut CD in September 2010. The band describes its sound as straight forward with influences ranging from the slow & heavy riffs of Black Sabbath & Kyuss, the intensity of Motorhead, to the stoner rock grooves of Queens of the Stone Age & Fu Manchu. With brothers Larry Lerro as the bassist & lead singer and Mike as the drummer it makes up a machine tight rhythm section. John Modugno is the lead guitarist and also singer which really completes the solid foundation of the band. Their no compromise approach from the beginning has lead them to be a true, authentic hard rock band.

Convinced that Cám- pora’s triumph had been propelled by young people’s zeal—as expressed in their increasing affiliation with the Juventud Peronista (Peronist Youth, or JP), an organization linked to the Montoneros—he convened a rock festival, at which the most prominent bands and singers of what journalists had begun to dub rock nacional went onstage. Among them were La Pesada del Rock- ’n’Roll, the duo Sui Géneris, and Luis Alberto Spinetta with Pescado Rabioso. In spite of the rain, 20,000 people attended the “Festival of Liberation,” mostly “muchachos from every working- and middle-class corner of Buenos Aires,” as one journalist depicted them, also noting that while the JP tried to raise chants from the audience, the “boys” acted as if they were “untouched by the political overtones of the festival.”1 Rather atypical, this event was nonetheless significant.

    ISSN Escúchame, alúmbrame. 0329-2142 Apuntes de Apuntes sobre el canon de “la investigación del CECYP música joven” argentina entre 2015. Año XVII. 1966 y 1973 Nº 25. pp. 11-25. Recibido: 20/03/2015. Aceptado: 5/05/2015. Sergio Pujol* Tema central: Rock I. No caben dudas de que estamos viviendo un tiempo de fuerte interroga- ción sobre el pasado de lo que alguna vez se llamó “la música joven ar- gentina”. Esa música ya no es joven si, apelando a la metáfora biológica y más allá de las edades de sus oyentes, la pensamos como género desarro- llado en el tiempo según etapas de crecimiento y maduración autónomas. Veámoslo de esta manera: entre el primer éxito de Los Gatos y el segundo CD de Acorazado Potemkin ha transcurrido la misma cantidad de años que la que separa la grabación de “Mi noche triste” por Carlos Gardel y el debut del quinteto de Astor Piazzolla. ¿Es mucho, no? En 2013 la revista Rolling Stone edición argentina dedicó un número es- pecial –no fue el primero– a los 100 mejores discos del rock nacional, en un arco que iba de 1967 a 2009. Entre los primeros 20 seleccionados, 9 fueron grabados antes de 1983, el año del regreso de la democracia. Esto revela que, en el imaginario de la cultura rock, el núcleo duro de su obra apuntes precede la época de mayor crecimiento comercial. Esto afirmaría la idea CECYP de una época heroica y proactiva, expurgada de intereses económicos e ideológicamente sostenida en el anticonformismo de la contracultura es- tadounidense adaptada al contexto argentino.

    Open Valhalla's Door! Wikingowie I Heavy Metal

    1 | S t r o n a OPEN VALHALLA’S DOOR! Wikingowie i heavy metal Wikingowie. Groźni piraci, bezlitośni wojownicy, poganie. Nieustraszeni żeglarze, odkrywcy, obrotni kupcy. Skojarzenia bywają różne, jednak nie ulega wątpliwości, że po dziś dzień Skandynawia łączona jest z wikińskim dziedzictwem jej wczesnośredniowiecznych mieszkańców. Jednym z najważniejszych aspektów kultury Normanów pozostaje ich sztuka wojenna oraz barwna mitologia, szczęśliwie w dużej mierze ocalała, dzięki islandzkim skrybom. Historia ludzi Północy i ich wierzenia z epoki wikingów inspirują kolejne generacje pisarzy fantasy, twórców filmowych, producentów gier i, przede wszystkim, muzyków sceny metalowej. W niniejszym artykule chciałabym pokrótce poruszyć temat wykorzystywania wątków związanych z kulturą wikingów przez wykonawców metalu1. Muzyka metalowa to oczywiście nader pojemny termin. Choć sam metal jest częścią szerszego stylu – rocka, możemy w nim wydzielić kilkadziesiąt podgatunków, pomiędzy którymi często nie da się zarysować jasnych granic. Jednak metal ma pewien specyficzny dźwięk, instrumentację, dzięki czemu możemy mówić o nim jako o odrębnym gatunku muzycznym. Klasycznymi instrumentami używanymi przez grupy metalowe pozostają gitara elektryczna, gitara basowa oraz perkusja. Wiele zespołów jako standardowe wyposażenie wykorzystuje ponadto keyboard, a okazjonalnie używane bywają także skrzypce, flety i inne zasadniczo nietypowe dla rocka instrumenty, jak chociażby organy. Charakterystyczny wokal to także cecha dystynktywna metalu. Metal jest głośny i taki właśnie ma być. „Of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and 1 Stosuję tutaj termin ‘metal’ jako zbiorczy na poszczególne gatunki które narodziły się z pierwotnego heavy metalu. Ów heavy metal bywa też nazywany classic metalem. W tekście nie będę robić różnicy między artystami wykonującymi hard rock, klasyczny heavy metal oraz power metal, ponieważ grupy te często przeplatają poszczególne podgatunki rocka w swojej twórczości.

The production for an independently released album is wonderful.What can you tell us about it? That would be down to Bruce Quarto, the head of our record company. From the very beginning he said:"1 want this album to be exceptional, not just great. I don't care how long it takes or how much it costs but if you come out of the studio and feel you could have done better, go back in and do it again." Giving us the financial freedom to concentrate on the album instead of struggling to survive gave us the chance to really spend a 'iot of time crafting the songs before we even went in to record them. The same goes for the recording process.We spent a lot of time finding the right guitar, amp or keyboard to get the perfect sound. The cover art for the album is fantastic. Who didit and are you and the band pleased with how it turned out? Were you involved in the concept? The cover was designed and put together by Gien Wexler.
