Prepare to be crushed by the weight of the Black Pyramid... Territory: Europe

Blood Farmers (USA)
Back in the mid-90's, the Blood Farmers were the most mysterious heavy Doom band on Hellhound Records. They were great fans of exploitation movies, especially all that blood-drenched and psychotic stuff. Their debut album, released in 1995, included a cover-artwork which had been taken from "Deranged", one of the best movies about the character and madness of Ed Gein, while the back cover shows a tasteful and eerie band photo. Formed in 1989, strongly influenced from Black Sabbath, they had also added other early 70's influences to their heavy sound and the "thanks-list" in the self-titled Hellhound debut, is a who-is-who of all great heavy 70's underground bands like Sir Lord Baltimore, Bang, T2, Tear Gas and so on. Surely, they also had listen to a lot of early-80's British Metal and so they combined both styles in a striking heavy pounding way. Territory: Europe

Death Row (USA)
There are only a few guitarists that have left their mark on the history of Black Sabbath-esque heavy music. One of them is Victor Griffin, who started his career in the late 1970's. His unmistakable guitar sound and his abilities as a strong songwriter form the basis for his first band DEATH ROW. At the very beginning, the group paid homage to Black Sabbath with a couple of cover songs, but Griffin quickly realized that he wanted to write his own material.The results are a lot of tracks that have long since become classics under the name of PENTAGRAM. Fortunately in 2009, Victor Griffin teamed up with bassist Martin Swaney and drummer Joe Hasselvander to reunite DEATH ROW for the second time after almost ten years.Territory: Europe

Around 1980 the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal was in full swing. In Solitude hails those golden years, when real metal was coming from the streets.

After releasing his solo debut in2009, Wino went acoustic in early 2011 with Adrift, a gut-wrenchingly personal album written bya man who has survived a lifetime of gut-wrenching scenarios and lived to tell the tales. Musically, Wino cites Black Sabbath, King Crimson and his previous conspiracy-minded band The Hidden Hand as reference points for Premonition 13. He and Karow also make generous use of the E-Bow, a handheld guitar effect that sustains notes in a battery-powered electromagnetic field. “Itʼs still pretty heavy, but itʼs definitely a departure from other bands Iʼve been in,” Wino offers. “Iʼm just excited for it to get out there so people can hear it.” Territory: Europe

There are scores of bands out there claiming to have the status of "legend" but only a few really meet the definition. Boston's Roadsaw is among that elite. Formed in the mid-'90's by Craig Riggs and Tim Catz, they raised the bar for riff loving hard rock, proving that the West Coast didn't have a lock on what most considered "stoner rock." This is the culmination of every great riff, of every memorable melody. This is the "fuck you" attitude that defines rock n’ roll. This is Roadsaw. Territory: Europe

Sasquatch (USA)
Sasquatch have returned to wreak havoc with their own explosive brand of rock and roll. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 2001 by Philadelphia transplant Keith Gibbs (guitar, vox) and Detroit natives Rick Ferrante (drums) and Clayton Charles (bass). Upon Clayton’s departure in 2007, the guys recruited Chicagoan Jason Casanova (ex-Tummler, Volume) to join the fold. Drawing on influences from 70's metal, rock, and psychedelia, the band falls somewhere between an amalgamation of Black Sabbath, old Soundgarden, Deliverance-era Corrosion of Conformity, Mountain, and a bastardized version of Grand Funk Railroad. Their songwriting approach is clear; keep the focus on the hook.
