PILGRIM, THE	Walking Into The Forest	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 092LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 5/10/2019 LP version. Gabriele Fiori -- already frontman of Rome-based outfits Black Rainbows and Killer Boogie and a key figure in Europe's heavy underground as the head of the Heavy Psych Sounds label and booking agency -- was not exactly lacking for things to do. And yet, a couple years back, The Pilgrim started to nebulously take shape as an idea for a solo-project, something different than the hard-driving psychedelia and garage heavy rock for which he'd already been so revered. It wasn't until January 2018 that he really got to putting songs together, but the end result on Walking Into The Forest is a space-folk release with a personality unto itself. Songs like opener "Peace Of Mind" evoke some of Fiori's more rocking side, while "Sunset In The Desert" feels like an ode to the acoustic album Kyuss never made, and side B, which starts with the Hawkwind cover "Brainstorm" and ends with the moody strum of "Suite #2" -- originally from Void Generator's 2004 debut EP; when Fiori was in the band -- a cosmic drift and textures that nonetheless remain accessible and organic thanks to their acoustic foundation. "The main point in common with Black Rainbows is the diversity of the songs," Fiori explains. "You have mind-dreams like 'Dragonfly' or 'Sailor,' or the more folk rock 'Peace Of Mind,' passing through space with 'The Time You Wait' and the melodic-melancholic 'When I Call Your Name.'" In completing the arrangements, Fiori turned to Black Rainbows drummer Filippo Ragazzoni, and as he says, "Songs came out so spontaneously and easy. I always played acoustic guitar and wanted to push further on this path. The songwriting, rehearsing and recording approach was so different from usual Rainbows or Boogie style, both to me and Filippo for drums, because all the instruments needed to be played smoothly, softly." With Walking Into The Forest, Fiori evokes a sound that is both classic and fresh, melodically rich and creatively constructed. It is a new outlet for Fiori that demands spiritual as well as auditory engagement, and an all-things-permissible sonic context that one can only hope The Pilgrim continues to explore. LP versions available on standard black vinyl, orange splatter vinyl, or yellow and red marbled vinyl.

GLITTER WIZARD	Opera Villains (Pink Vinyl)	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 095LTD-LP
$31.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 5/10/2019 LP version. Limited edition fluorescent pink vinyl. Are they glam? Are they metal? Stoner rock? Psych? Prog? For over a decade, people have been trying to pin down Glitter Wizard but this San Francisco band refuses to be pigeonholed. Pulling influences from the entire heavy rock canon, G Wiz combines scorching guitar riffs and spaced-out synths to creates something familiar, yet entirely new and weird. Their latest album, Opera Villains, brings the heat that you've come to expect from the band but adds a layer of dramatism that you haven't heard before.

BJORK, BRANT	Keep Your Cool	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 098LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 5/10/2019 LP version. Heavy Psych Sounds present a reissue of Brant Bjork's Keep Your Cool, originally released in 2003. Keep Your Coolmarks itself as easily one of Brant Bjork's most accessible and catchiest album. A direct continuation of the raw, straight-to-the-point rocker that was the Brant Bjork and The Operators record (2002), it also brings back some of the more relaxed, levitating aura of Jalamanta (1999) resulting into a best-of-both worlds scenario. Starting out with funky guitar rhythms and congas "Hey, Monkey Boy" is a short and entertaining opener that sets up the stage to the other tracks. The songwriting for the most part is as about simple as it can get, with mid-paced, often blues/funk influenced riffs leading them, accompanied with Bjork's relaxed, swagger-filled vocals. But don't mistake this for laziness because these are well-written and effective riffs that are delivered with crystal clear precision. Thus, with songs "Johnny Called" or "Gonna Make The Scene", Brant proves that you don't have to go for ten+ minute long, abstract feedback-driven jamming to deliver good stoner rock. A good head-banger, a soulful ballad, a relaxing, acoustic guitar piece: Keep Your Cool has all of them. Not to mention sweet guitar licks, a beefy production and a great, positive vibe that oozes from the '70s and weed (especially in the Cream-like "I Miss My Chick"). With eight songs and 33 minutes it's short, sweet, delivers the punch and keeps up its replay value high. Keep Your Cool is like every Brant Bjork record: The honest sound and music of a dude that you would want to hang out and party with.

BJORK, BRANT	Jacoozzi	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 097LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/26/2019 LP version. Brant Bjork on Jacoozzi: "Back in December of 2010, I went into a house in Joshua Tree California to record another solo record. About four days into the sessions, I decided to abandon the eight songs I was working on, told my long-time friend and engineer, Tony Mason, to start rolling tape and I proceeded to play drums in my natural improv style. After multiple drum track performances were captured, I then started layering guitars, bass, and percussion in the same improvisational spirit. I essentially decided to 'jam' by myself for the rest of my scheduled sessions. When the recording session had finally come to an end, I put the eight unfinished tracks on the 'shelf' as well as my 'solo jam session' tracks. I was much more content with the 'jam' tracks as it was a creative release that was needed at that time. I decided to call the collective tracks, Jacoozzi. At the time, it reminded me of the feeling of my first solo recording sessions for my first solo release, Jalamanta... only more 'free'. At that time in 2010, I had no formal plans to release any of the music from those sessions... Jacoozzi included."

OREYEON	Ode To Oblivion (Green Vinyl)	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 099LTD-LP
$31.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/12/2019 LP version. Limited edition fluorescent green vinyl. Oreyeon's sophomore album, Ode To Oblivion comes after two years of experimental sessions in their little studio recording nestled between the sea and the mountains in the northwest of Italy. This new full-length combines all band members' musical influences and takes shape leaving behind and going beyond the rules that mostly describe the classical stoner rock genre. From the first track, a strong sense of nothingness blends into a long unsettling travel through a microcosm full of colors while black shapes lead the traveler into a spiral of nihilistic lyrics, title tracks and monolithic riffs all at the same time. A pinch of the '90s vocals legacy gives this full length a gloominess that crowns a long period of rehearsals playing and jamming over all sorts of musical borders. The album has a start and an ending; along with what's in the middle, it all seems to be connected by a long line of heavy-psych-stoner rifts that evokes the feeling of listening to the mighty Blues For The Red Sun (1992) from desert legends Kyuss. It sounds like a long suite that never ends; the vocal structures and harmonization are more complex, and melodically richer while the music tends towards a heavier path, taking cues from way different kinds of genres and band references.

HIGH REEPER	Higher Reeper	CD	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 093CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/12/2019 High Reeper is back with their second release Higher Reeper and they aren't fucking around. The sound and smell of leather, weed, and death now has a hint of Campari and cocaine to color all eight tracks. With the addition of their new drummer Justin Di Pinto, High Reeper has managed to focus their sound and expand it at the same time. The record is darker and heavier than their first offering, High Reeper (HPS 072CD/LP/LTD-LP, 2018) with guitars that crush like a tank and lyrics that paint a picture of the world nearing its end. While the sound of Higher Reeper is more focused, at the same time it manages to be more complex and varied. With tracks ranging from ones as heavy as the album opener, "Eternal Leviathan", to the ethereal ballad "Apocalypse Hymn", this album takes one all the way to hell and leaves one there to rot. Higher Reeper was again produced, engineered and mixed by bass player Shane Trimble at TTR studios and Delwood Sound and mastered by Mike Tarsia. Solomacello created the incredible cover that captures the mood of the record while giving a nod to classic heavy metal.

LITTLE VILLAINS	Philthy Lies	CD	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 096CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/12/2019 The Little Villains' debut album Philthy Lies is a half hour slice of rock-n-roll dream cake! Somehow as if heaven sent a rare treat, one can experience the exceptional and ferocious talent of the late Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor one more time! Yes, the very same Taylor that provided the pioneering backbeats to all the albums as a member of the classic lineup of the iconic rock group Motörhead. Coupled with the solid hook-led songwriting and guitar craft from Mr. James A Childs who also fronts the desert rock band Avon, and the youthful thrashing energetic bass guitarist Owen Street of the Welsh sludge duo Vails, this makes for a killer combination. The band's rapport is evident throughout the record; their relaxed and candid approach and repartee is well-captured. Like a nomad scene from the Mad Max: Road Warrior (1981) movie, cars fully laden with instrumental weaponry speed across the desert. Tracks were laid for the album at Unit A Studios in Palm Springs, California in February 2007. Philthy Lies was produced and engineered on two-inch tape by Childs with Unit A's owner Robbie Waldman assisting the session. Recently, James has carefully carved the record's sound to maximum justice from the original tapes from mix to master, and it is some of his best work to date. Philthy Lies is a testament to Taylor's professionalism and is proof that he was still every bit the rock and roll giant, even 15 years after his departure from Motörhead.

Philthy Lies is a testament to Taylor's professionalism and is proof that he was still every bit the rock and roll giant, even 15 years after his departure from Motörhead.

OREYEON	Ode To Oblivion	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 099LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/12/2019 LP version. Oreyeon's sophomore album, Ode To Oblivion comes after two years of experimental sessions in their little studio recording nestled between the sea and the mountains in the northwest of Italy. This new full-length combines all band members' musical influences and takes shape leaving behind and going beyond the rules that mostly describe the classical stoner rock genre. From the first track, a strong sense of nothingness blends into a long unsettling travel through a microcosm full of colors while black shapes lead the traveler into a spiral of nihilistic lyrics, title tracks and monolithic riffs all at the same time. A pinch of the '90s vocals legacy gives this full length a gloominess that crowns a long period of rehearsals playing and jamming over all sorts of musical borders. The album has a start and an ending; along with what's in the middle, it all seems to be connected by a long line of heavy-psych-stoner rifts that evokes the feeling of listening to the mighty Blues For The Red Sun (1992) from desert legends Kyuss. It sounds like a long suite that never ends; the vocal structures and harmonization are more complex, and melodically richer while the music tends towards a heavier path, taking cues from way different kinds of genres and band references.

CRYPT TRIP	Haze County	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 094LP
$23.00 IN STOCK LP version. Crypt Trip returns! Following their last album Rootstock (HPS 079CD/LP/LTD-LP, 2018), the Texas rockers are delivering more cosmic American sounds straight to your ears, mind, and soul. Their new album, Haze County, sonically and lyrically explores the complexities of space and time and then brings you back down to the very Earth you're made of. Nine new songs make up the band's most focused and organic effort to date. Mixing elements of hard rock, psychedelic, and rural music, each track is unique and has something different to say. Loud Fender amps and a pounding rhythm section immerse you in an enticing groove on some tracks, while dreamy guitars take you away in others. Staying true to a Texas tradition, the album features a special guest, Geoff Queen, on pedal steel, adding an entirely different color to the tonal palette. Haze County was recorded and mixed by James Campbell at Cibolo Studios in San Antonio, Texas. It was mastered by Jerry Tubb at Terra Nova Digital Audio in Austin, Texas. High quality analog equipment was used at every stage of production for the best possible "vintage" sound. For fans of: The James Gang, Epitaph, The Byrds, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Humble Pie, Allman Brothers Band, Bubble Puppy, Homer, Jericho Jones, Flying Burrito Brothers, Waylon Jennings, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead.
