If it’s the guitar work of Kyuss you love, then Been Obscene have got your back with The Magic Table Dance… but there ain’t much else of note on it, sadly.

Don’t let the hipster imagery put you off too much: Tweak Bird have got all the glorious dumb noise-riffola but not much of the irony on their debut album.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun: Carlton Melton start inside a geodesic dome and end up in the far reaches of outer space. Pass It On, man.

Solace take the Small Stone staple of stoner riffola and spice it up with a generous pinches of thrash and hardcore on their fifth studio album, A.D.

Corsair‘s background as a Sabbath tribute band shows through on the Alpha Centauri EP, as does a rather muddled conception of what “progressive” rock actually is.

A swan-song collection of off-cuts and live cuts from a ten-year career, Josiah‘s Procession is probably the least essential stoner record of the year so far.

Brighton-based UK sort-of-supergroup Blackstorm blend sludge metal and hardcore to captivating effect on their debut Rise Rebel Seers EP. Listen to it NOW.

Montreal retro-rockers Priestess bring the proto-thrash riffola and seventies melodics back to heavy metal on their second album, Prior To The Fire.

Montreal rednecks-in-waiting Barn Burner bring out the Sabbathy stoner clichés with gusto on Bangers… but sadly, that’s pretty much all there is to it.

Psychedelic stoner-krautrock? Kyuss meets Can? Sign youself up for the Summer Sessions, as Causa Sui invoke the lazy vibes of hazy days smoking in the park.
