MORNE (US)
The stylistic pyroclasm of MORNE's bleak, extreme but reachable metal did not happen overnight. Since their 2009 debut album, Untold Wait, the Boston-based four-piece have made simple categorizations like 'doom' or even 'metal' laughable, and their latest and fifth full-length, Engraved With Pain, refines their attack to a level toward which even 2018's To the Night Unknown could only hint.
Playing out across four chapters, the 40-minute album sees the veteran outfit - yes, all the festivals, including Roadburn, Hellfest, etc.; tours and tours and tours - crafting rhythmic tension and lung-squeezing atmospheres as Polish-born guitarist/vocalist Miłosz Gassan emits layered guttural shouts that speak to inner and outer crises. Engraved With Pain makes its title believable, and from its eponymous opener through "Memories Like Stone," "Wretched Empire" and "Fire and Dust," it carries humanity individually and collectively through the realities of its decline. As a species, it's hard to argue we didn't have it coming.
"'Wretched Empire' lyrically is my take on current situation in the world," says Gassan. "How divided everything is and how people are prone to being misled. How we forget our history. History that happened not that long ago. I never comment on my lyrics but maybe in this case it's needed. I call humanity a wretched empire. It's not an optimistic song."
Spacious, crushing, darkly thoughtful enough to be progressive but never so indulgent as to lose sight of its core message, Engraved With Pain was recorded with legendary producer Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts.
Gassan adds: "I think between music and lyrics this album carries a lot of weight which Kurt perfectly captured, I can say that we are very satisfied with it. A lot of energy was pushed into making it."
For MORNE, Engraved With Pain is a moment of grim triumph, as rooted in Celtic Frost as in Ministry, still somehow extrapolated from the gods Black Sabbath and characteristic of no one so much as themselves. A document that speaks directly to future historians looking back and wondering just where the hell it all went so wrong. Imagine a Rosetta Stone for the sixth great extinction.
Expect MORNE to spread this cruel, unflinchingly honest manifestation with foreign and domestic touring, as they continue to stake their position at the forefront of underground consciousness with the support of (also legendary) Metal Blade Records and their finest work to-date behind them.

STONED JESUS (UKR)
Stoned Jesus are a stoner metal band founded by Igor Sydorenko in Kyiv, Ukraine circa 2009. The band is currently composed of Sydorenko on guitar, Sergii Sliusar on bass and Dmytro Zinchenko on drums. The band has a distinctive stoner metal sound with elements of doom metal also incorporated.
Genere: Prog Rock | Stoner Metal
MONDO DRAG (US)
Mondo Drag will knock your socks off, let your hair down and take you on a mind's eye exploration you won't soon forget. Though they exude love for the spiraling tapestry of heavy psychedelia of the past, they are on a rock and roll mission all their own: an unearthed prog band, futuristic in their time capsule, rocketing forward through the depths, gathering the sounds of space itself.
Genere: Heavy Psych | Prog Rock | Space Rock
THE ABBEY (FIN)
Drawing lyrical inspiration from esoteric organizations, their beliefs and own practices, Finnish music veteran Jesse Heikkinen and co-lead vocalist Natalie Koskinen (Shape of Despair) weaved ritualistic tales from the darkest corners of themselves to pair with music that is a provocative, alluring kaleidoscope of dark, heavy rock.
The result is the mystical ‘Word of Sin’, THE ABBEY’s first full-length. Featuring former Sentenced and The Man-Eating Tree drummer Vesa Ranta, Janne Markus (guitar, also of The Man-Eating Tree) and Henri Arvola (bass), the emerging progressive doom rock band’s debut album is certain to entrance and captivate the listeners with its spell.
Genere: Goth Rock

GNOD (UK)
GNOD, the ever-transient psychedelic musical unit from northern England with over 15 years and dozens of releases under their belt, return in 2024 with a recalibrated sound and a new sense of freedom. Spot Land’s five songs are tender and detailed, unfolding slowly with wistful guitar textures, brushed drums and interjections of lap steel, piano and kalimba.
Genere: Minimal | Drone | Industrial
CONCENTRATION (Australia)
Back with another dose of industrial couples-issues & anthemic social-purge electro-pop, it’s yer favourite Aussie/Deutsch swamp beat trio Concentration, in an all-original gutter-jazz no-cabaret odyssey!
Now with added Xanax-sax squall, Concentration are even more trash-hop than trip-hop…..like Portishead force-fed kilos of content in total POW darkness, foie gras style. (it’s what they deserve…)
Genere: Electronic | Industrial Punk
