Cities of Mars - Cities of Mars 12,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:05 +0200

"Doom-sludge titans Cities of Mars return with a new album that's as rich in texture, blast-furnace hooks and vast atmospherics as one could desire. The band show off the evolution of their approach, varying tempos and layering and broadening their vocal delivery from clean and harmonized to guttural roars, but of course the riffs remain massive and crushing and the song concepts remain elemental and veering into the mythical and post-apocalyptic. Ripple doesn't always venture into sludge territory, but when we do, you know there's a good reason, and Cities of Mars continue to embody the best that the style can become!"

Valley of the Sun - The Chariot 12,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:05 +0200

For the last decade, Valley of the Sun have lit up stages across Europe and North America, dropped three albums of high octane rock 'n roll and won thousands of loyal fanatics along the way. Now, they've set their sights on world domination with their most stunning album to date, The Chariot, a dynamic flurry of top-volume riffage, soaring melodies and furious rhythms served up Cincinnati-style with a cold beer on the side.

Says The Obelisk, "There's no question that Valley of the Sun are placing themselves at the forefront of the new generation of American heavy rock."

Bone Church - Bone Church 14,99 €

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 09:43:52 +0100

Stone Axe - Stay of Execution 12,99 €

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 12:16:25 +0100

Port Orchard's soulful 70s rockers STONE AXE make a triumphant return with their first release in over a decade. "Stay of Execution" is a collection of unreleased tracks and hidden gems, about which Stone Axe founder and multi-instrumentalist Tony Reed says: “Stay of Execution is an album of unreleased recordings and tracks we like that were hidden in the grooves of vinyl that was released in very limited numbers with little or no promotion. All songs were recorded between 2008 and 2011 and cover a wide spectrum of styles in that seventies vein we were known for. The musical concepts of proto-metal, southern rock, psychedelic rock, and folk rock are well-explored in this collection. Seven of the eight tracks on the album feature the usual studio collaboration of Reed / Brinkerhoff, while the last song includes all four members of the live band. I feel like these tracks are as strong as anything on our other long players. It’s great to see them finally get released.”

Righteous Fool - Righteous Fool 12,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:05 +0200

"Born in 2009 on the impulse of the late Reed Mullin (Corrosion Of Conformity) and guitarist Jason Browning, Raleigh-based rockers RIGHTEOUS FOOL came fully into being when the gang of two invited Mullin's long-time bandmate Mike Dean (also Corrosion Of Conformity) to play bass. North Carolina legends CoC were on hiatus, and bassist Mike Dean had fallen out of touch with co-founding drummer Mullin until, after nine years, Mullin pulled into Dean's driveway and asked if he wanted to start a new band.

RIGHTEOUS FOOL demoed and released the two-track 7-inch in 2010 via Southern Lord, and quickly hopped on support tours for Clutch, Weedeater and, later on, Corrosion Of Conformity. The eponymous ""Righteous Fool"" full-length was recorded at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in California, during the same sessions that produced CoC’s self-titled 2012 reunion LP, but was never released.

Now, in the wake of Reed Mullin passing in 2020, the remaining members decided to bring the album to light, showcasing a lava hot infusion of hard rock, heavy blues, stoner and punk, oozing soul, fury and fire from every note."

Las Cruces - Cosmic Tears 12,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:05 +0200

"Look back into the distant reaches of doom's heady primordial days of the late 90s and early 2000s, and amid the many pillars of the style whose names you know well, you might also come across one that's less familiar, though no less majestic and impactful in what they created: Las Cruces.

This Texas doom powerhouse was like a lightning storm in the desert with their singular take on sludgy, melodic doom, boasting soaring vocals and bleak, earth-shaking riff power that was impossible to match. And yet, as significant and unforgettable as their incredible ""Ringmaster"" album was, the band seemed to mostly disappear back into the earth. They would resurface here and there with an occasional release or announcement of a reformation, but ultimately, the promise of ""Ringmaster"" was never seized... until now.

""Cosmic Tears"" is the long-awaited re-emergence of a band with far more greatness in them than the world had yet to hear, and this album delivers it at long last. Prepare yourself for a new doom epic!"

Aptera - You Can't Bury What Still Burns 12,99 €

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 21:25:47 +0100

In Greek mythology, APTERA was the site of the battle between the Sirens and the Muses, where the Sirens lost their wings and were cast into the sea. But this Germany-based 4-piece is less a contest and more of a raucous party.

Aptera swirls forth in a sonic tornado of classic metal, doom, psych, thrash and punk. With members hailing from Italy, Belgium, the US and Brazil, they heeded the call and converged in Berlin, joining their global heavy sensibilities in a cacophony of lashing riffs and propulsive rhythms. Weaving together contemporary and mythological tales of rebellion, revenge, and rising from the ashes, Aptera's “You Can’t Bury What Still Burns” is a guttural cry, a battle call, a resurrection on wings of fire.

Moon Coven - Slumber Wood 14,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:06 +0200

"Take a trip into the dark and ethereal realm of Swedish psychedelic doom unit MOON COVEN with their third album 'Slumber Wood'

'Slumber Wood' pushes the band's experimental approach further through its eight confident and mind-infiltrating steamrollers, worthy of being mentioned in the same league as stoner doom scene pillars like Mars Red Sky, Monolord, even Acid King. MOON COVEN treat the listener to a spectacular, tombstone-heavy journey, abounding in motions and emotions, with David Leban's mesmerizing chant dragging you deeper and deeper over the course of its 40+ minutes."

Sun Crow - Quest For Oblivion 14,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:38 +0200

Originally self-released in late 2020 on Bandcamp, SUN CROW’s debut 'Quest for Oblivion' was well received and highly regarded by the heavy underground. The album topped the Doom Charts in November and December 2020, landing itself on many best of and year-end lists, and continues to make waves. Now Ripple Music brings forth this impactful debut in worldwide fashion, bringing its molten tones to discerning fans far and wide.

Boss Keloid - Family The Smiling Thrush Live at Foel Studio 18,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:06 +0200

Void Vator - Great Fear Rising 14,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:38 +0200

Heavy, loud and proud, Void Vator return with their latest rapid-fire, take-no-prisoners metal assault, cranking out yet another landmark American metal blast in the form of 'Great Fear Rising.' The band started work on the record immediately after their last tour was abruptly ended just five dates in when the pandemic effectively put a stop to live music activities in the states for the rest of 2020. The band channeled their unspent energy into writing and recording, and the result is their hungriest, most assured album yet, snorting and ripping and ready to leap onto stages worldwide the moment they can return to the road!

Jakethehawk - Hinterlands 14,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:38 +0200

Heirs to the expansive psych-fuzz explorations of bands like King Buffalo, Howling Giant and ASG, Jakethehawk merge the classic, riff-centric sound of proto-metal’s pioneers with the textures of psychedelic rock and progressive rock. They also draw heavy influences from the lush, wooded river valley they call home and its rich folk music tradition, embracing the oxymoronic moniker, “Appalachian Desert Rock,” because it sums their sound up perfectly (and they like it).

Behold! The Monolith - From the Fathomless Deep 12,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:06 +0200

"“From The Fathomless Deep” is BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH’s darkest and most menacing record yet, an album that stares fearlessly into the shadows. The fist-pumping bounce from Defender/Redeemist’s “We Are the Worm” is replaced with twisting and ghostly maneuvering on “Spirit Taker,” solos clasp at heights unseen on “Psychlopean Dread” and the titanic typhoon that is “Stormbreaker Suite.”

This BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH is not the same band we knew all those years ago: grizzlier, rougher-hewn and more technically visceral than they’ve ever been. A welcome reward for their decade-old following, and an ear-splitting surprise for those unbaptized."

JIRM - The Tunnel, The Well, Holy Bedlam 12,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:06 +0200

Stockholm-based heavy rock stalwarts JIRM (formerly Jeremy Irons & the Ratgang Malibus), whose blend of psychedelic heaviness has been gushingly referred to as, “a blissful mixture of Soundgarden at their grooviest and Pink Floyd," return with their latest album, “The Tunnel, The Well, Holy Bedlam." The album was assembled in a true reflection of the world as altered by the pandemic, its tracks recorded one by one in five different studios across Sweden. The end result, though, is a massive liftoff from reality that's sure to appeal to fans of everything from REZN to YOB to Elephant Tree to Cities of Mars. Prepare for an astral-traveling, riff-fueled trip into the cosmos!

Boss Keloid - Family the Smiling Thrush 14,99 €

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 07:50:07 +0100

Boss Keloid’s penchant for producing heavy and magnificently multi-layered music has generated huge support and massive expectations. Rising from the stoner/prog underground in the UK, they've produced some of the most mind-altering, genre-bending music while gaining a reputation for never standing still. Now the band are ready to take their next step.

Yawning Sons - Sky Island 14,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:38 +0200

"Formed in 2008 when Yawning Man's signature sound architect Gary Arce travelled to the UK to work with Kent-based instrumental riff-psych quartet Sons of Alpha Centauri. Upon the first day of working in the studio, it was clear that something special was taking place. Within the space of a week, a new band was formed, with the resulting sound like none experienced before.

In 2009, the debut album and instant cult classic 'Ceremony to the Sunset' was released to near-universal critical acclaim. Now the spacious collaboration returns with new album and Ripple Music debut 'Sky Island,' another voyage into the astral realms, and featuring guest performances from Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson, Desert Sessions), Scott Reeder (Kyuss, The Obssesed), Wendy Rae Fowler (QOTSA, Earthlings?) and Dandy Brown (Hermano, Orquesta del Desierto)."

Wytch - Exordium 14,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:07 +0200

Introducing Wytch, a rockin' quintet out of Skellefteå, Sweden. Originally going under the moniker of Aska, but with an album ready and a record deal in place, the band changed their name to Wytch and never looked back. With a sound that ranges from soft and mellow to almost punk rock and lyrics that speak to the darker side of life, love and death, you can definitely call their first full-length ‘Exordium’ heavy rock.

All Souls / Fatso Jetson - Live From Total Annihilation 12,99 €

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:50:07 +0200

In the absence of concerts and tours, Los Angeles-based rockers All Souls and seminal desert rockers and close friends Fatso Jetson went into Total Annihilation recording studio in Los Angeles to film a special live performance featuring rare tracks and unreleased material.

Obsidian Sea - Pathos 10,98 €

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:16:07 +0200

Sofia-based vintage rockers and kings of epic melodies OBSIDIAN SEA present their fourth album 'Pathos.' Written during months of isolation, ‘Pathos' is a work that finds the trio injecting heaviness, exuberance, aggression, dreamlike melancholy and introspection all at once — “a therapeutic process of emotional release through the music, but also one of establishing a truer human connection within the band” as described by the band. It's a record by a band who intends to express utmost honesty without any fear or apology, as offered in their uncompromisingly classic style of classic proto-doom heaviness.

Various - Döminance And Submissön - A Tribute To Blue Öyster Cult 10,98 €

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 21:25:47 +0100

"Founded in 1967, Blue Öyster Cult are considered pioneers of occult rock'n'roll, marking generations with timeless anthems such as ""(Don't Fear) The Reaper"", ""Burnin' for You"", ""Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll"" and ""Godzilla.""

“Dominance and Submission: A Tribute To Blue Öyster Cult” was initiated by the late Steve Hanford, aka Thee Slayer Hippy, in conjunction with Ian Watts of Ape Machine.

As Poison Idea’s drummer and producer, Hanford lived the hard road of the rock veteran. He played on two highly influential hardcore records: 'War All The Time' and 'Feel The Darkness,' and worked as a producer on indie rock projects such as Heatmiser (with Elliot Smith) and punk albums for notable names like The Hard-Ons. Following struggles with addiction and a seven-year prison sentence, he turned his life around, starting work in a music program and playing drums first in The Skull and then joining Ape Machine as drummer and producer. While on the road with Ape Machine, Steve decided to produce a tribute record to one of his favorite bands, Blue Öyster Cult.

Hanford was an accomplished and respected musician, able to round up a star-studded cast of bands for the tribute. Passing away in May of 2020, he didn't see the project's completion, but he completed most of the recordings, leaving Watts to gather the final pieces.

“Dominance and Submission"" highlights some of the finest work from the legendary band, with unique contributions and an incredible track list. Proceeds will go to Hanford's widowed partner, Kitty Diggins.
