A late addition to our release slate for the year, we're happy to share the new atmospheric doom track "Fallen" from Oakland, CA's DAXMA, taken from their forthcoming 4-song digital EP 'There Will Come Tomorrow' 🎻🗿🎸

The band's new release is an exploration of what it means to hold onto feelings of hope in the darkest of times. Written and recorded during some of the most dispiriting events in modern history, these four songs were inspired by the connections we share with those who keep us afloat, and they imagine the possibility of a better world rising from the ashes of this one.

If you find solace in bleak, uplifting, post-metal tinged doom, and you dig bands like The Otolith and REZN, we encourage you to check out DAXMA and stream the new single. "Fallen" is live on Bandcamp and all streaming services now 🪐

Just as desert rockers BLUE HERON embark on a run of live dates on the road to Ripplefest
Texas, we present an exclusive advance streaming premier of new album 'Everything Fades' via The Obelisk (link in bio) well ahead of its official release on Friday, Sept. 27 👀🎸🌵

Cheers to for his words on the record, which is still available for preorder at Bluesfuneral.com and Bandcamp:

"While 'Ephemeral' saw Blue Heron setting forth with an idea of who they were and the kind of music they wanted to make, 'Everything Fades' magnifies that exponentially and is therefore a greater showing of potential for continued growth. Without pretense, they align to an expanded definition of what desert rock is, and in fostering a more varied persona across these songs, they sound ready to add to it. Speaking scientifically, the record kicks ass."

Go listen now, and catch them this week in Texas starting today! 🔥🎸

The fuzz-driven, ethereal, angular and bouncing new album of stoner-prog 'Raised Up By Witches' from our own singular MAMMOTH VOLUME has landed the #2 slot on this month's Doom Charts 👀💪🔥🎸 Who would've guessed that a band pushing the limits of how weird heavy rock can get for over two decades would continue to resonate so much with discriminating fans of the genre? A few words on behalf of the Charts:

"while often airy, soothing, and whimsical, [Mammoth Volume] delivers some weightier moments in all the right spots. The sepia-tinted retro sound works together with lovely vocals and harmonies, immersive storytelling, clever instrumental progressions, and a varied but flowing composition to provide a cozy but entrancing listen. Raised Up By Witches plays out a bit like a dream, and it’s one you’ll want to get lost in more than once."

The gorgeous marble vinyl LP edition, pictured here in all its glory thanks to , is available everywhere now, and can be streamed on all platforms.
