heavy sludge rock

Malmö, Sweden, based stoner and fuzz rock unit, Huanastone, has announced their worldwide signing with Argonauta Records – joining the label’s eclectic artist roster for an album release in the Spring of 2020!

French extreme sludge and noise rock trio, Sycomore, who just recently announced their worldwide signing with rising cult and underground label Argonauta Records, have revealed the details for their upcoming, third album titled “Bloodstone”!

He’s a man VICE calls “an institution” with a voice recognized by Rolling Stone as the sound of resilience. Now, Kirk Windstein, the highly respected sludge metal pioneer and unmistakable earthmoving bellow of Crowbar, stomps forward as a solo artist for the very first time. On January 24th, 2020, Entertainment One (eOne) will proudly release “Dream in Motion”, Windstein’s singular debut and a recording that sees the Dark Lord of the Southern Riff stretch his creative wings and strengthen his indelible legacy.

Their sound pummels, you feel it in your guts. It disturbs your mind but gives you the chills to the same time. It’s the apocalypse and pure perfection of all that is heavy: Noise Doom duo Bible Black Tyrant, featuring masterminds Aaron D.C.

When gnarly punk, pure metal and the swagger of hard rock meet, it can only mean one thing: the unholy rebirth of Helhorse! The Danes love to rock out with riffs heavier than Godzilla’s balls. Be part of one of the loudest, dirtiest and also most melodic riff fests of the year!

Helhorse have just released their 3rd single. So get ready and listen to the brand new track “War Drums” and watch the video below.

Argonauta Records has announced the signing of French trio, Sycomore, who will release their third album in early 2020. The band crosses influences from Extreme Metal to Noisy Sludge Rock, with a sound driven under a Torche aerial feeling brutalized with Carcass-alike blastbeats, Mastodon slashing themes lacerated by Unsane’s swampy grooves.

The avant-garde post-apocalyptic rock unit Queen Elephantine have revealed the first details about their forthcoming, sixth studio album, titled “Gorgon”. Set for a release on November 8th, 2019, via Argonauta Records, the album’s dissonant riffs will pull you down a river of unearthly atmospheres, guided by the incantations of sardonic fakirs, unravelling their final sermon before the cosmos combusts.

Torche, who recently made their late night television debut via Late Night with Seth Meyers, have added two new legs of tour dates: a November outing for the U.S. and an extensive UK trek in December.

Many bands (and label promo sheets) may tell us they are different, unique, and are evolving their sound to a new level you have never heard before. This Italian trio in contrast, The Elephant, truly is.

The blues and stoner rock ‘n rollers, formed just last year, have even signed a worldwide record deal with Karma Conspiracy, who will release the band’s first full-length on October 25th, 2019.

Portland, OR quintet Blackwater Holylight share the second single from their forthcoming sophomore album “Veils of Winter” (RidingEasy Records) today.

Listen to the pop-hook laced “Death Realms” below.

Blackwater Holylight, as the name suggests, is all about contrasts. It’s a fluid convergence of sound that’s heavy, psychedelic, melodic, terrifying and beautiful all at once.
