Lumerians – The High Frontier (2013)
Psychedelic, Space Rock‘The High Frontier’ sees the band push the edges of stoner rock, combining afrobeat influences, psychadelia song structures, post-punk guitars, starry dramatics, brash dance beats and vivid imagery to create a record that both dazzles & invigorates.
It’s a cacophony of sound in which Lumerians acknowledge the role noise and rhythm has always played in transcendent and ecstatic rituals the world over. From the repetitious drums of tribal animists to the penetrating electronic pulses of neon dance clubs, The High Frontier sets scope outward, points blindfolded at a star map and sets off full blast without making course corrections.

There is something irrevocably indomitable about the British rock scene. Like a dog with a chew toy, it simply refuses to let go. Through nearly forty years of imitators trying to steal its crown, good old rock’n’roll has proven time and again that it simply will not go away.
Very much in the Guns n Roses, Thin Lizzy and Motley Crue molds, the Guttergodz fuse the altogether brash, fist-pumping and ever-so

Made In Sweden…
Transubstans veterans OBLIVIOUS is back on track, this time with the stunning 8-tracker “Creating Meaning”! Bluesy, groovy hard rock with flowing bass lines and mysterious riffs that resembles the inventiveness of LED ZEPPELIN and SABBATH, but also acts like DOZER or CLUTCH. Since their 2009 debut “Goons And Masters”, OBLIVIOUS has not lost the harshness of the tone in their sound. During these four years, they’ve rather built up a more solid wall of sound, with well-arranged riffs and conceived 70’s grooves. Explore this record if you wanna know what Transubstans is all about!

EX WIFE’S SCULL one succeeds in connecting the Sleaze rock of N GUNS ROSES with the vigorous hard rock of ZEPPELIN LED on her album “The Ultimate Frightmare”. And also if they are resident at last already more in the Sleaze rock, she removes the line particularly appearing with the reef to the 70th thus a little bit of other tape of the genre.
