Acid Mothers Temple - JAP
https://acidmotherstemple.bandcamp.com/
Spaced out heavy psychedelic acid kraut seance
FFO: GuruGuru, Neu!, Can, Amon Düül II, Cluster, Minami Deutsch, Kikagaku Moyo
Formed in 1995 by Makoto Kawabata at the same time as the Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective.
The group released its debut album in 1997 on PSF Records (Japan), and it was selected as one of the year's best albums in the The Wire magazine (UK).
In 1998 the group played their first tours of the US and Europe. Since then the group has released a huge number of albums on labels from many different countries.
As of 2017, the group has released around 80 albums. Every year since 1998, they have toured extensively in the US and Europe, and more recently have started performing around Asia and in Japan too.
The group has performed in collaboration with many musicians including psychedelic originators Gong and Guru Guru, Simeon (Silver Apples), Nik Turner (Hawkwind), and the Occitanian trad sinder Rosina de Peira. Japanese collaborators have included Afrirampo, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Maso Yamazaki (Masonna), Seiichi Yamamoto (Boredoms), Jun Kuriyama (The Ox), and many others.
To begin with the group had a floating line-up with contributions from many members of the AMT Soul Collective. But as tours became more frequent, the group began to coalesce around a core touring line-up. Other bands were created with Acid Mothers Temple as part of their name (AMT & The Cosmic Inferno, AMT SWR, AMT & The Space Paranoid, AMT & Infinity Rising Zero, Acid Mothers Gong, Acid Mothers Guru Guru, Acid Moon Temple, etc.), but AMT & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. has continued to function as the mothership and main lineage for all our activities.
In 2016, 21 years since the group's founding, there was a major shift in the line-up and "Next Generation" was added to the name. We now view the first 20 years as chapter one in our story, and we are now turning the page to start chapter two.
Witching - US | Translation Loss Records

Sludge infused Extreme Metal
FFO: Inter Arma, Cobalt, Julie Christmas
Formed in 2017 from the throes of Philadelphia, WITCHING have emerged as one the underground’s most exciting bands to watch out for. The band’s sound has evolved into genre-bending, nightmarish, blackened melodic death metal that embraces and embodies the fusion of pitch-black intensity through black metal, sludge, post-metal, and more. With a handful of independently released EP’s, singles, and a full length album under their belts, a new lineup featuring Jacqui Powell (vocals), Nate Zagrimanis (guitar), Tatiana Buonassisi (bass), Samantha Hyla (drums), and Hazel Whitman (guitar), WITCHING are calling out to unify the masses by bludgeoning their way into a world where everything is formulaically stacked against them. WITCHING is marking their own path and marching head-on into a hellish ouroboros of self-destruction and self-discovery to share triumph and perseverance.
Stinking Lizaveta - USA | Season of Mist
https://stinkinglizavetaofficial.bandcamp.com
Instrumental Progressive Alternative Doom
FFO: Black Flag, Russian Circles, Rotor
Stinking Lizaveta was forged in the 90s in the basements of West Philly. Yanni Papadopoulos, guitar, Alexi Papadopoulos, upright electric bass and Cheshire Agusta, drums have produced nine full length albums and are road dogs of rock in the US, UK and EU. For nearly 30 years they have been playing every show like it's their first and last. Anthems and Phantoms is the 9th full length release of Stinking Lizaveta. What this album has is range. Between Phantom's sinuous slow beauty, its down and dirty stoner rock and explosions of crazed progressive punk, some part of your soul will be addressed by this record.
