The album is crammed with cool vibes, ripping leads, and a ton of desert fuzz with a focus on great songs rather than trying to stay confined within a corral of a particular style. This untamed attitude took its creative high energy source straight from touring. When the band from Texas returned home after six weeks travelling the roads of Europe with the legendary FATSO JETSON and watching them improvising jams every night, they had also taken notes. Although a bit worn from the road, HIGH DESERT QUEEN could hardly wait to start recording. Not focusing overly on how parts were played, allowing themselves imperfections, and ditching the click, the music started to flow like never before. In the very first studio session after the tour, three new songs emerged. Working within a live framework and mindset, the band from Austin, Texas hit the jackpot and &quot;Palm Reader&quot; bears witness to that claim. In more than one way, HIGH DESERT QUEEN have always been a bit different and much more than &#039;another desert rock band&#039;. Formed in Houston, Texas by singer Ryan Garney and guitarist Rusty Miller in 2019, the duo soon recruited drummer Phil Hook (MONTE LUNA) and relocated to Austin in 2020. HIGH DESERT QUEEN had what it takes to kick the desert rock scene into gear again. Their vast musical influences ranging from grunge to funk, old school metal to doom and much more provide an ideal foundation for new ideas and a rejuvenating approach to the genre. Their thunderous, fuzz-drenched anthems are delivered with a healthy dose of groove and catchy melodies, and get a massive boost from an emotional intelligence in their music that&#039;s hard to find. The newly-minted sound is linked to the rich heritage of their musical environment, inspiring the style tag &#039;Texas desert rock&#039;. With &quot;Palm Reader&quot;, HIGH DESERT QUEEN have made a quantum leap in their evolution as the Texans found the perfect balance between the well-loved legacy of the desert rock genre and carving out their very own path. Fuelled by the power and spirit of live music, this album rocks as hard and honest as can be done.&lt;br /&gt;

All else, they would leave to the creative process and somewhat to chance. BEES MADE HONEY recorded every other song on &quot;In Between Strides&quot; in various settings that were available to them at the time of creation: a cavernous cellar, a concert stage, an indoor balcony, a living room, their rehearsal space, even returning to the studio where their first album &quot;Medicine&quot; was tracked. Through this spontaneous and shifting approach, BEES MADE HONEY began to move texturally and stylistically from ambient and drone toward shoegaze along with more acoustic elements. According to their original plan, &quot;In Between Strides&quot; stepped into more melodic territory, with each song representing a different aspect of the band&#039;s musical vocabulary. BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE originate from the Swabian capital and German city of Stuttgart. All four members grew up together, eventually forming the band in 2014. Their musical template of ambient psychedelic doom was established with the debut album &quot;Medicine&quot; in 2017, and their sound has continued to evolve ever since. With &quot;In Between Strides&quot;, BEES MADE HONEY have turned rage into reflection by developing a more organic and spontaneous approach to their songs, opening up wide spaces and letting the melodies flow freely. This musical honey tastes simply delicious.&lt;br /&gt;

What the self-proclaimed forest rockers deliver on their third full-length &quot;Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem&quot; is so cool, in fact, that it&#039;s a hot early candidate for rock album of the year. The &#039;forest rock&#039; moniker is the Swedes&#039; tongue-in-cheek answer to the term &#039;desert rock&#039;, which stylistically provides a great starting point to describe their musical brand. Add exceptional vocalist Lea Amling Alazam, who developed her passion for punk and stoner rock at the local skate park when she was just 13 years old, to the band&#039;s plethora of riveting hooks and riffs, and you get an album that feels fresh and ready to deliver surprises for months if not years to come. If there is any justice, &quot;Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem&quot; should make BESVÄRJELSEN as famous as the iconic wooden Dala horses that every tourist who visits the country takes home to put on their shelves. BESVÄRJELSEN were co-founded by guitarists and vocalists Andreas Bajer and Staffan Vinrot in 2014. Their musical vision was based on the idea to channel the spirit and traditions of the vast Dalarna forests, where Germanic gods and the spirit world of finno-ugric shamans met, into a contemporary urban context. With &quot;Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem&quot;, BESVÄRJELSEN have conjured &#039;Into Oblivion&#039; twice, in both Swedish and Latin, but the spellbinding five-piece also deliver a cathartic rock album that will rank among the finest heavy releases of the genre and beyond in 2026.&lt;br /&gt;

And all the heaviness, experience, and obvious maturity of their songwriting across three decades is perfectly reflected in the seeming ease with which these master craftsmen hammer out one captivating and crushing track after the other. Revolving around apocalyptic, infernal, and end time themes that easily fit this day and age, &quot;Fading Failing Ruin&quot; nails the current global mood by taking a strong dose of inspiration from the earliest days of metal and blending it with contemporary heaviness. SOLACE have called their amalgamation of doom and heavy metal with hardcore elements dirt metal, while elsewhere it has been somewhat tongue-in-cheekily dubbed shorecore. Others file the New Jersey five-piece under stoner metal – and in truth, all these descriptions have and still fit the band to an extent. With &quot;Fading Failing Ruin&quot;, SOLACE erect a new milestone of US heavy metal that respects traditions from both sides of the Atlantic while churning toward a chaotic future.

As the eight tracks on &quot;Restless Spirit&quot; are the most distilled version of what the trio is about, they saw no need for further explanation in the title. So, what are RESTLESS SPIRIT about? Pure metal, no more, no less. Born from the steel mills of Birmingham this musical style has deep English working class roots that the East Coast outfit translates into an American sonic slang with elements from desert and stoner metal and even the occasional progressive flourish. As a result, they seamlessly merge classic heavy solos with roaring guitars and a pinch of psychedelic fuzz. In hindsight, the massive punch delivered to the gut delivered by their previous album, &quot;Afterimage,&quot; set the trio onto a course that led directly to &quot;Restless Spirit&quot;. Trimming away all sonic fat, focusing on the essentials, and refining their sound and songwriting down to its heaviest core has yielded a record that promises to be timeless. RESTLESS SPIRIT are throwing out a rescue rope to all headbangers and particularly those dealing with all the cruelty that life can bring. &quot;Restless Spirit&quot; is a call to persevere in the face of others not understanding or even outright rejection. This album is about living on one&#039;s own terms, which was and is at the heart of metal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tracklist:&lt;br /&gt;
1. The Burning Need&lt;br /&gt;

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://en.merhq.net//out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/howling.giant-glass.future-mer120lp-b3.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;Every song on HOWLING GIANT&#039;s sophomore album &quot;Glass Future&quot; tells its own story. Yet even without an overarching concept, all could exist within the same universe. Such crafty lyrical world-building is hardly surprising coming from a trio of enthusiastic fantasy and science fiction aficionados. &quot;Glass Future&quot; downright asks to inspire a book or graphic novel, even as it explodes with furious energy and thunderous acrobatics. Musically, &quot;Glass Future&quot; offers a continuation and evolution of all the elements that made the debut album &quot;The Space Between Worlds&quot; (2019) such a success. HOWLING GIANT entice classic metal and hard rock to interact dynamically with spacy, prog-infused passages, desert and psychedelic metal moments, rock organs, catchy hooks, and top everything off with soaring harmonized vocals. HOWLING GIANT hail from one of the most legendary places for music on earth: Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Despite the city&#039;s reputation for assembly-line pop country, the town called Music City is a place of deep history, where brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players keep dozens of musical legacies burning bright. Fertile ground, then, for a preeminent fuzz-psych power trio who consciously live in the pocket of that lineage. During the last two years, the trio integrated bassist Sebastian Baltes, the son of German metal legends ACCEPT&#039;s former bass player Peter Baltes, fully into the band as a co-writer. HOWLING GIANT take a gargantuan leap forward with &quot;Glass Future&quot; that brings their outstanding musicianship and golden-throated triple vocal attack fully into stride. Nothing to do but try to keep up and enjoy the stunning sonic scenery along the way!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

04. IN A HURRICANE&lt;br /&gt;

The US metal band perfectly combines melodic heaviness with pinches of progressive, sludge, and other styles with seeming ease. WITCH RIPPER can be generally located within the wider sonic realm that is inhabited by MASTODON, BARONESS, and HIGH ON FIRE, yet they also continue to channel the rock bombast of QUEEN and DAVID BOWIE as well as the modern prog of COHEED AND CAMBRIA and MUSE. WITCH RIPPER are also determined to tour across the United States and hope for a first voyage to Europe in support of &quot;Through the Hourglass&quot;. Metal is anything but dead, and this album is living proof of its vibrant present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tracklist:&lt;br /&gt;
1. Odyssey in Retrograde&lt;br /&gt;
2. The Portal&lt;br /&gt;
3. Symmetry of the Hourglass&lt;br /&gt;
4. Echoes and Dust&lt;br /&gt;
5. The Clock Queen&lt;br /&gt;
6. Proxima Centuari&lt;br /&gt;
7. The Spiral Eye&lt;br /&gt;

The veteran trio from Baltimore, Maryland have fine-tuned the recipe of their musical rocket fuel, distilled from stoner doom, psychedelic rock, and other fiery ingredients. BLACK LUNG&#039;s unique concoction drives every track with captivating tunes, melodic riffing, pumping rhythms, and the inimitable vocal cords of Dave Cavalier taking it home. Every single song on &quot;Forever Beyond&quot; hits its mark perfectly. Undertones of anger and defiance manifest as many of the songs are artistic reactions to the historic political upheaval in the USA, dealing lyrically with the lure of fascism, blind nationalism, and corporate oligarchy. BLACK LUNG came into being when two founding members of Baltimore&#039;s well-established psych rock band THE FLYING EYES, guitarist and organ player Adam Bufano and drummer Elias Schutzman, teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Dave Cavalier in early 2014. The trio set themselves apart from the crowded field of psych doom and heavy blues with a sonic interchange of fuzzed-drenched guitars, deep driving drumbeats, and Cavalier’s raw, blues-tinged vocals. During the pandemic years, BLACK LUNG managed to push forward with new guitarist Dave Fullerton, which resulted in the fourth album &quot;Dark Waves&quot;. On this milestone, they abandoned some pet ideas such as eschewing bass guitar live in favour of guitars through bass amps, along with the black and white aesthetics that had dominated their artwork of their first three full-lengths. With &quot;Forever Beyond&quot;, BLACK LUNG demonstrate that it is possible to rage against injustice with an utmost joyful defiance!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Psychedelic Western Rockers from Down Under have taken a big leap that was made possible by breaking new ground. It pays off that the Australians have dared to take numerous creative risks, of which several stand out: First off, &quot;Inexorable Opposites&quot; introduces new drum powerhouse Brayden Becher, who has literally given the band an extra kick. This was amplified by employing Lewis Noke-Edwards as a third party engineer for the tracking of the drums. While the creative process was generally more collaborative than for previous releases, the album also comes with an extended range as it includes both the &#039;heaviest&#039; and &#039;gentlest&#039; songs the band have ever recorded. Probably as important as the musical tweaks is the new direction that the lyrics take on &quot;Inexorable Opposites&quot;. While there are still new tales playing out in the universe of the eponymous science fiction Western character Jack Harlon, vocalist Tim Coutts-Smith was mostly inspired by experiences both personal and from recent years as well as being influenced by his work in mental health. JACK HARLON &amp; THE DEAD CROWS deliver a beautifully matured and musically experienced version of their characteristic sound on the fourth album &quot;Inexorable Opposites&quot;. With adult lyrics that take their listeners seriously in a contemplation about the duality of life and the frequent contradictions of the self with the external world, the Australians show their growth and songwriters and musicians without losing the connection to the titanic fuzz and heavy riffs that helped put them on the map.&lt;br /&gt;

At this moment, the world&#039;s reliance on machines, algorithms, and artificial intelligence has never been greater. This makes now the perfect time to reflect on the emergence of a musical force whose blend of mechanized instrumentation and raw emotion was singular and revolutionary. NINE INCH NAILS were formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1988. They arrived around the same time as grunge when Generation X was developing an awareness of itself, but while there was cross-appeal, the sound they created was clearly and intentionally something very different. NINE INCH NAILS were at least twice as cynical as everyone else and reflected the singular, driven musical expression of mastermind Trent Reznor. Of NINE INCH NAILS&#039; seminal breakthrough album, Spin magazine respectfully had this to say in 2024: &quot;As The Downward Spiral turns 30 this year, it still stands as an act of artistic transgression against the limits of popular music. Pushing the boundaries of creative censorship, it is still considered Nine Inch Nails&#039; most daring and uncompromising album.&quot; The Magnetic Eye Redux Series features hand-picked classic albums from across the history of rock and metal re-imagined in their entirety from start to finish.

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://en.merhq.net//out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/greenleaf-the.head-and-the.habit-mer128lp-b4.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;With their ninth full-length &quot;The Head &amp; The Habit&quot;, Swedish heavy rockers GREENLEAF have reached the pinnacle of a long evolution. The musical handwriting and well-honed mastery of guitarist Tommi Holappa, who has been a pioneer and pillar of the European stoner rock scene for more than 25 years, shines clearly through. This is perfectly complemented by the soulfulness, intuitive sense of melody, and depth of character that the vocals of classically-trained singer Arvid Hällagård bring to the sound of GREENLEAF. Apart from world-class vocal lines and massive riffs with electric fuzz-power, GREENLEAF have put extra thought into the themes of &quot;The Head &amp; The Habit&quot;, which lift its lyrics far above much of the often cliché-ridden genre. As the album title implies, the new songs resemble symbolic short stories that revolve around emotional struggles and even mental illness. Written by the vocalist, the lyrics reflect real life experience as Hällagård works with people who suffer from problems with drug abuse and psychological health. Heavy rock afficionados GREENLEAF were initially formed as an informal project by friends that were already playing in other bands including such notable names as DOZER, LOWRIDER, and DEMON CLEANER. The Swedes simply wanted an outlet for their mutual love of &#039;70s-era hard rock and proto-metal while being free from the expectations and pressures of their main bands. Despite intentions to keep GREENLEAF purely for pleasure, the undiluted joy of creating catchy songs led to everyone demanding for that material to be recorded. This eventually resulted in the release of a self-titled debut EP in 2000, which was quickly followed by first full-length &quot;Revolution Rock&quot; only a year later. Having turned from an on and off fling to a full-time love affair, the years of rotating line-ups ended and GREENLEAF&#039;s newfound focus and stability was crowned by their fifth album &quot;Trails &amp; Passes&quot; (2014), which featured new permanent vocalist Arvid Hällagård. This milestone also marked the beginning of a new phase of the band. With &quot;The Head &amp; The Habit&quot;, GREENLEAF combine an awareness of past triumphs with mature craftsmanship, showcasing their confidence in how to rock stronger, harder, and more to the point than ever before. The Swedes melt thunderous riff-magic, enrapturing and soul-heavy vocals, frenetic rhythms and driving attacks into a ear-catching, sparkling alloy of hard rocking anthems!&lt;br /&gt;

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://en.merhq.net//out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/howling.giant-crucible-and-ruin-mer148lp-b1.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;HOWLING GIANT take another huge step on their third full-length &quot;Crucible &amp; Ruin&quot;, a collection of sparking ideas, captivating melodies, and heavy riffing close to perfection - quite a feat of on-point songwriting for such a still young band! This is the band&#039;s first album to feature new fourth member Adrian Lee Zambrano. Although the guitarist and synth player arrived somewhat toward the end of the writing process, he was still able to add his mark with cool textures on the record. The extra guitar certainly adds even more punch to HOWLING GIANT &#039;s sound, which delivers a slightly more aggressive approach compared with predecessor &quot;Glass Future&quot; (2023). They even leaned into some raw band live takes to capture the emotion in the room. HOWLING GIANT hail from Nashville, Tennessee, USA, sidestepping the self-proclaimed Music City&#039;s assembly line of modern pop country while taking inspiration from the brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players that keep the town&#039;s musical legacy burning bright. Fertile ground for a preeminent fuzz-psych power trio, now turned quartet, who consciously live in the pocket of that lineage! HOWLING GIANT storm forward once more in defiant refusal to remain still. Having grown into a four-piece as well as in their prowess as musicians and songwriters, &quot;Crucible &amp; Ruin&quot; is an album at least as big as their name. Don&#039;t take our word for it, just give it a spin – or two or three...&lt;br /&gt;
