    EYE – the new band from Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard (MWWB) singer-songwriter/musician Jessica Ball – has announced the arrival of their eagerly awaited debut album, 'Dark Light’.

    Triggered in part by the existential dread looming outside as well as the sudden ill health of her dear friend, MWWB guitarist Paul “Dave” Davies, then fighting for life after a Covid-related stroke. Ball took the opportunity to compose songs that were all her own – nuanced, lyrical, and hypnotically distinctive.

    Having earned a fervent fan following with MWWB, Eye are a different proposition, though no less compelling. Traversing a diverse spectrum of dark folk, dreampop, IDM and psychedelic doom, to create sometimes heavy and foreboding drones, alongside spare but still richly textured sonics. 

    ‘Dark Light’ is an intensely atmospheric fusion of emotionally charged songcraft and inspired sonic energy. The clue is in the album's paradoxical title. Chilling and even bleak melodies with arrangements daringly and deliberately stripped down and minimal. Revealing a kinship with sonic bed-fellows Mazzy Star, Chelsea Wolfe or even Portishead

    So, whilst not strictly speaking ‘Doom’ or ‘Metal’ fans of Jessica’s previous work with MWWB will not be disappointed. Along with producer Chris Fielding (MWWB, Conan) EYE have produced something otherworldly, which is at times heavy and epic, yet still deeply intimate and dark. 

    A striking debut.

    Shooting Daggers 'Love & Rage'

    £21.99

    Sal, Bea and Raquel aka Shooting Daggers, are fast becoming a fiery beacon at the beating heart of the burgeoning UK hardcore scene.
    Their first EP 'Athames' hinted that there was something special here, and left folks gagging for more.

    Their debut album will not disappoint. Titled ‘Love and Rage’ it’s a huge leap forward from their EP, in fact we believe Daggers have recorded something of a corker in terms of modern hardcore in fact ... a potential minor classic debut maybe.

    Whatever way you spin it, there is no doubt that ’Love and Rage' is an album of jaw dropping depth and melody as well as blinding energy, feminist fury and angst.
    There are kick ass buzzsaw punk bangers of course, blistering shards of pent up fury, like ‘Dare’ and ‘Not My Rival’ ‘Wipeout’ and ‘Bad Seeds’.

    Daggers ‘as you might expect, but here, more catchy, more direct, more focussed than before. However, things start to get even more interesting with songs like ‘Smug’ and ‘Tunnel Vision’ a big hint that this is no ordinary punk rock record.
    A grungy intro bangs into stuttering riffs and chorus with harmonies that will lock itself into your head.

    Then the band drops ‘A Guilty Conscience Needs An Accuser’ and you go well what is this? A sort of 90’s shoegaze grunge infused soaring ballad, that is as breathtakingly bold as it is unexpected and a real standout.

    As is the album’s title track ‘Love And Rage’ with its Dinosaur Jr meets Lush vibe. It all fits perfectly. The final track ‘Caves/Outro’ is just vocals and piano … it can only be described as ‘lovely’. Wow. The influences never overwhelm, it’s always unmistakably ‘Shooting Daggers’ pushing that hardcore envelope big time.

    With ‘Love and Rage’ Shooting Daggers could quite possibly become your favourite band.

    Guhts 'Regeneration'

    £22.00

    Hailing from New York, GUHTS (pronounced ‘guts’) are a bold new voice within a maelstrom of genres and sub-genres.

    They declare themselves to be an ‘avant-garde post-metal project, delivering larger than life sounds through, deeply emotional music’.

    And they deliver that statement in full effect in the form of their debut album ‘Regeneration’.

    Pointers can be made of course. By their own admission, GUHTS' musical style is influenced not only by iconic metal bands like Gojira, Cult of Luna, YOB and Deftones, but more unconventional acts like Bjork, Subrosa, Isis, Julie Christmas, and even PJ Harvey. It’s undoubtedly heavy, with a strong feminist streak, it’s cathartic and weighty, a formidable debut for such a new band.
    ‘Regeneration’ is set to cement their status as one of the coolest and most interesting bands on the scene.

    A powerful and intense series of songs, topped off by some seriously mighty, expressive vocal performances. 

    It’s slow-shifting chords, moving like sheets through sludge. High guitar lines above, ranging from piercing and shimmering to nasty. Drums pound but not without groove. There are strings, pianos and synths widening the palette. Atmospheric sludge, metalgaze, maybe, but there’s also that link to the New York Noise lineage from The Velvets and Sonic Youth, becoming a type of post-hardcore in the process, while gaining a connection to metal partly due to the sheer heaviness. 

    A raft of creative experimentation that pushes beyond the realm of post-metal. And then of course, the very first thing that hits you is Amber Gardner's unbelievable, hypnotising vocals - as scary as a banshee while also intimate and persuasive. Amber means it for sure and almost dominates the proceedings.
    In short ‘Regeneration’ is a bold and startling debut, that will reward and enthral listeners the deeper they delve into its many layers.

    Shooting Daggers/Death Pill 'Not My Rival/Monsters' Vinyl 7"

    £9.00

    New Heavy Sounds is super stoked to announce a very very special team up between our favourite punk sisters, Shooting Daggers and Death Pill.

    Both bands have recorded a brand new song, and what better way is there to present them (or any kind of punk) than a good old split single. 

    So kicking off the Shooting Daggers/Death Pill split, is this never before recorded Death Pill track 'MONSTERS'.

    Ukrainian punk trio Death Pill certainly made a stir when they hit the UK as part of their first ever European tour. Articles in the likes of the Guardian and Sunday, featured in all the music mags, plus the band showed that they were a pretty ferocious musical outfit, as those who were witness to the full on live experience can testify.

    Whilst in London, the band also had time to cut 'MONSTERS'. Recorded live in the studio with Wayne Adams (Pet Brick, Big Lad and producer of Green Lung) at the helm, MONSTERS is a short, sharp shock. An angry, sardonic and skewed amalgam of riffs and full on blast beats … it growls and it rips.

    The band says ..

    “This track is about how our parents knowingly or unknowingly lose their children. As an example - here are the most painful things you could hear from your folks: "When will you finish your music games?”

    "You will never achieve anything!”

    "When are you finally going to do something useful?"

    Therefore, when there was an opportunity to record a one live song in London, the choice of a song became obvious.

    Just imagine the "surprise" on the faces of our mums...

    Many thanks for Ged and Paul from the NHS label for supporting this idea, and to Wayne from Bear Bites Horse for the sick and fat sound”

    What makes this release all the more exciting, is that Shooting Daggers are dropping their first new music since last year's EP 'Athames'. 

    Sal, Bea and Raquel are most definitely on the way up, their exciting blend of hard as nails hardcore, punk attitude and a neat melodic sense have made them a much sought after outfit, for gigs and festivals here and across Europe. They are slowly but surely proving themselves to be one of THE bands to watch in 2024.

    If the EP left their growing legion of fans gagging for more, new track 'NOT MY RIVAL' will not disappoint. It's a catchy, pogo-tastic, queercore punk banger, full of feminist grit and a killer earworm chorus.  

    The band says ...

    "Not My Rival, is a song about dismantling the male gaze, fighting against the internalised patriarchal messages that we all unconsciously absorb. It's about breaking the cycle of female rivalry. We want to encourage lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down"

    The Shooting Daggers debut album is due in the new year .... you have been warned, this is the shape of things to come.

    Special 7” single strictly limited to 250 copies.

    The 7” comes in classic black vinyl, with a reversible foldover sleeve with artwork from each band on each side so you can choose your own cover,  full colour printed labels housed in a poly overbag. It's available only by mail order.

    The vinyl is transparent red with white splatter effect. Full download included as well.

    The CD comes in a 4 panel digipack with a 12 page lyric booklet.

    Death Pill, are an all-female hardcore punk power trio of considerable muscle, combining metalcore, punk rock and (like labelmates ‘Shooting Daggers’) oodles of ‘Riot Grrl’ vibe.

    It’s significant how many female punk bands are using the stance and attitude of the ‘Riot Grrl’ movement as a touchstone for what they are about, but it doesn’t end there. From the classic punk of Black Flag, The Distillers and Circle Jerks, to modern outfits like Axe Rash and the thrash metal of Nervosa and Exodus, there’s a nod to all of this in Death Pill’s visceral sound. 

    This is the special 2nd edition of their self titled debut, with two of the tracks newly recorded with English lyrics, nevertheless with all the fire and vitriol still intact.

    They Watch us From The Moon 'Cosmic Chronicle: Act 1, The Ascension'

    £9.00

    Cosmic space metal outfit ‘They Watch us From The Moon’ are a band with riffs as heavy as Osmium shot through with melodic lead guitar lines (think Gilmour meets Buck Dharma) as strong as spider's silk. Add in the sublime and soaring vocals vocals of TWUFTM's twin 'Space Angels' Luna Nemesis and Nova 10101001, and you have a unique proposition that lifts this record far above any genre pigeonholing.

    TWUFTM are also a band that has a concept behind the groove. Sci-fi space opera, a love for 70’s glam, Bowie and Queen, brought to the fore visually, in their mashing of comic book narratives and George Clinton’s Funkadelic style alter ego’s. 

    As to the music … the colossal weight of riffs on this first-contact missive are made so gloriously enjoyable by memorable hooks, honed repetition and and an agile rhythm section that can make each one of their (sometimes 10 minute) stargaze rides feel like an epic odyssey. Fellow space travellers Hawkwind and Pink Floyd, and even Spacemen 3, have been in similar orbits before, but never this heavy.

    Now, alongside a trajectory charted by Monster Magnet and maintained by The Sword, Ufomammut, White Hills and Witch Mountain .... TWUFTM don't just breathe new life into cosmic tones, they take it to a different level.

Full on and fully formed on their self-titled debut album.

    That aside, what makes this release even more pertinent, and the fact that it is happening at all, is that Mariana, Anastasiya and Nataliya are from the Ukraine, whose troubles are well known to all of course, but naturally enough have hit the band very hard. But there is hope, and as this album amply demonstrates, plenty of fighting spirit. It’s a killer debut.

    The musicianship and commitment on display is undeniable, plus the tracks on the album have been totally remastered for this release, sounding as fat and full as a raging whirlwind.

    ‘Death Pill’ will be released on limited edition white with red splatter vinyl housed in a full colour single sleeve with a printed lyric inner. Full download included. There will also be a limited CD version in a 4 panel digipack with a 12 page lyric booklet. It will also be available on all digital platforms.
    Death Pill is set for release on the 24th February 2023, perhaps fittingly a year to the day that Russia invaded Ukraine.

    Blacklab are back. The self-proclaimed ‘Doom witch duo from Osaka’ drop their third album ‘In A Bizarre Dream’ which ups the ante considerably from their previous records, to let rip and define what Blacklab are about.

    The drums have a humungous ‘Fugazi’ like welly, and the guitars are a boiling maelstrom of fuzz dense riffola, hardcore punk and warped psychedelics, with added synth. The drums are rolling thunder and ferocious D-Beat, and singer Yuko’s throat shredding snarls are as mean as a pissed off Satan, and melodious, often within the same song.

    This is doom meets hardcore punk, hooky melodies, and killer riffs, all cranked up to the max.

    Japan has always had a special take on ‘noise’ and ‘heavy’ and with ‘In A Bizarre
    Dream’ Blacklab adds their own spin to that tradition..

    Two albums in and London’s Grave Lines, purveyors of ‘heavy gloom’ have already carved a unique niche in the myriad spheres of heavy music.

    Now with their third album ‘Communion’ Grave Lines continue their exploration into the ugliness of the human condition, at the same time becoming a band that truly defies any pigeonhole. 

    In a nutshell ‘Communion’ is a violent descent of bile-soaked intensity spiralling between filth laden swagger, and fragile mournful lament. The album delves into the internal aloneness of existence and the failings of the human connection.

    Owing as much to Bauhaus and Killing Joke as it does to Black Sabbath or Neurosis, there are moments of gut wrenching doomed up heaviness and bellowing noise rock, contrasting with ambient gothic passages and a thoughtful melancholy, to a create a powerful new chapter in their ceaseless journey through the gloom.

    Moongazer is the second album by the four-piece stoner rock powerhouse from Italy, TENEBRA. The band had already made waves on the scene with their debut album 'Gen Nero' before delivering 'What We Do is Sacred' their debut EP for New Heavy Sounds last year, 3 killer tracks that were but a taster of things to come.

    Moongazer takes the story a stage further with nine slabs of crushing fuzzed up grooves, fuelled by 70's proto metal, hard rock, punk, psych-blues and noise, loaded with great riffs and melody and topped off by gutsy soulful vocals.

    Musically, you could say that TENEBRA occupy similar musical terrain to bands such as Graveyard, Witchcraft, Kadaver and other bands of that ilk, but TENEBRA are very much their own beast. They have all the chops of course, but are musically less slavish, often adding a twist that keeps the songs fresh and now.

    There's also very little reliance on Sabbath-isms (apart from one cheeky nod) and though occult rock is also part of the vibe, the music steers well clear of the cliches. In fact the band bring a clutch of left field influences into their melting pot as well, from June of 44 and Love Battery to the Misfits and the psych grunge of Screaming Trees, much of it in evidence on this new album.

    Of the four members, Claudio (bass), Emilio (guitar) and Mesca (drums) came from the hardcore and post-hardcore squat scene that gathered around Bologna, whereas their formidable vocalist Silvia (the youngest of the crew) is immersed in the underground rock of the '60s and' 70s. When you hear her sing you’ll know where she’s coming from as she has one helluva rock voice, laced with whiskey, smoke, grit, late nights and a whole lotta soul.

    Think Maggie Bell meets Betty Davis with a smattering of Gillan, and you'll be in the right ballpark. So what you get with 'Moongazer' is a band revelling in the spirit of 70's rock rather than recreating it. MOONGAZER is without doubt an accomplished sophomore release that deserves to be heard and appreciated, purely because, though it may appear to reside in the world of stoner, it is so much more.

    TENEBRA are a four-piece from Bologna, Italy, and they are a hard and heavy stoner rock powerhouse, fronted by a seriously formidable singer. This is full on fuzz meets 70's style proto metal but they are by no means a retro outfit. They create music that is not only the sum of their influences but pushes those influences outwards.

    They say …
    "We love rock like it used to be but try to make it speak our language."
    And that they most certainly do as ‘What We Do Is Sacred’ testifies. 

    ‘Cracked Path’ is all organic 70's proto metal with keen song writing and a contemporary edge. Full on fuzz with the psych grunge of the 90's underground, it's Screaming Trees meets Fu Manchu, and it must be said that the vocals are truly storming. Silvia has one helluva voice, laced with whiskey, smoke, grit and late nights, think Maggie Bell or Olivia Favela from Birtha meets Betty Davis and you'll be in the right ballpark. It has light and shade and perfectly lands the TENEBRA vibe.

    'Hard Luck' is a chugging, pounding ride down the highway to hell with Silvia's bluesy wail destroying all before it, complete with a psychedelic wall of guitars and melodics a plenty.

    Finally you get 'Primitive Man' a cover from the first and self-titled Jerusalem album released in 1972. However TENEBRA claim this song as their own, the proto metal riffs are all there, the vocals are blues wailingly epic and just to mix it up there's a cool middle section complete with flute solo.

    'What We Do Is Sacred' is a 3-song statement of intent, so, if you dig Sabbath or Kyuss or Green Lung and like your stoner rock hard and heavy, occult tinged with a psychedelic edge, then this is the band for you.

    Very limited edition CD available as part of New Heavy Sounds’ 10th Anniversary EP series. Housed in a bespoke die cut sleeve and limited to just 150 copies.

    Heavy progressive instrumental three-piece Mountain Caller return with a new e.p. Chronicle: Prologue is in effect the follow up and conceptual prequel to their debut Chronicle I: The Truthseeker.

    Like the album once again the band conjure up Mastodon expanses of sound melded with Sabbathian riffs, all executed with Tool-like wizardry. With the EP seamlessly leading into the debut album, the band want listeners to consume one after the other, creating one cohesive hour-plus journey, showcasing the band's dynamic mix of heavy, expansive and progressive metal.

    Recorded alongside the album tracks in January of 2020 at No Studio in Manchester by producer Joe Clayton of Pijn, and mastered by Magnus Lindberg of Cult Of Luna'

    NHS 10th Anniversary EP Series: Sky Valley Mistress: Acoustic Session EP

    Available on Ltd Edition CD in a bespoke Die cut, 10th anniversary digipack of 150 only.

    2021 is a landmark of a kind for New Heavy Sounds, as it is 10 years since the label first started back in 2011. In order to mark their 10th year, New Heavy Sounds will be releasing a series of 10th anniversary CD EP’s in very, very limited editions. 

    These E.P’s will contain new or exclusive tracks from their roster and beyond and will be available by mail order only.

    The first of these limited editions features Blackburn stoner blues rockers Sky Valley Mistress. Before lockdown hit in 2020 the band recorded an acoustic set and these songs make up this anniversary release.

    The set contains 4 songs from their debut album. ‘You Got Nothing’ ‘Skull and Pistons’ ‘It Won’t Stop’ and ‘She Is So’. 

    This is SVM in intimate mode, just keyboards, percussion, guitar and the sonorous vocals of Kayley Davies. The stripped-down mode really allows her to shine and more than anything showcases what a brilliant expressive voice she has.

    Recorded in their studio and specially re-mastered for this release, New Heavy Sounds hope you’ll be as captivated as they were when they heard them.

    The Sky Valley Mistress acoustic sessions E.P. is set to be released on March 26th.

    Tracklisting:
    1. You Got Nothing (acoustic)
    2.‘Skull and Pistons (acoustic)
    3. It Won’t Stop (acoustic
    4. She Is So (acoustic)

    New Heavy Sounds

    MWWB 'The Harvest'

    £8.99

    ‘The Harvest’ is MWWB’s fourth album, and is a record shot through with the trademark heavy MWWB sound. The chugging riffs and haunting melodies of Jessica Ball are all there, however it also sees the band adding more experimentation, a progressive approach, and going a bit more left field conceptually.

    With ‘The Harvest’ MWWB have refined and honed their sound from their previous three records. 'The Harvest' is a carefully crafted distillation of ideas, written, conceived and sequenced to be listened to in its entirety (preferably in one sitting). MWWB have always loved film scores and this new album is in many ways, the soundtrack to a film. MWWB provides the musical narrative (the song titles also provide a pointer) and the listener's imagination does the rest.
    To some extent, it shares similarities with Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’. Not only by having the mix of experimentation and melodicism as that seminal record, but also in the way that it has been engineered and constructed as a seamless piece.

    Nine tracks flowing into one another. Space age riff monsters segueing into shorter musical interludes, where John Carpenter rubs shoulders with Pink Floyd and a maelstrom of moog and mellotron. There are surprises, and of course a bucketload of heavy shit.

    Kudos here must go to producer Chris Fielding, who has masterminded an epic sound world, with a much more close up ‘in your face’ mix. Meticulously bringing out every nuance, from soft and atmospheric, to expansive and crushingly heavy. The band have never sounded better.

  • Mountain Caller 'Chronicle I: The Truthseeker'

    New Heavy Sounds

    Mountain Caller 'Chronicle I: The Truthseeker'

    £16.00

    'The second pressing of Mountain Caller's debut album 'Chronicle I: The Truthseeker' is limited to 500 copies, cream vinyl housed in a single sleeve with printed inner, plus a full download.'

    Mountain Caller describe themselves as a heavy progressive instrumental three-piece, who are driven to tell stories with music and want listeners to conjure up cinematic scenes in their minds.

    If one needs a sonic ballpark, think the infectious jamming of Elder and the dynamic cinema-scapes of Mogwai, underpinned by the mantric riffs of Sleep.

    A rich amalgam of Progressive Rock, Post Metal and Doom. Nevertheless, Mountain Caller do succeed in weaving their own unique spell.

    Recorded in January of 2020 at No Studio in Manchester by producer Joe Clayton of Pijn, and mastered by Magnus Lindberg of 'Cult Of Luna', Chronicle I: The Truthseeker. is the fruit of three years of jamming, crafting, and conceptualising; a collaborative piece, where each instrument takes centre stage, within a heady mix of chasmic riffs and panoramic, reflective soundscapes.

    Tracklisting:
    1. Journey Through The Twilight Desert
    2. Feast At half Light City
    3. I Remember Everything
    4. Trial By Combat
    5. A Clamour Of Limbs
    6. Dreamspirals

    Release Date: 13/11/2020
