Hey,
As you MAY have noticed, I haven't posted for a while now....for a lot of reasons which I don't find necessary to mention. Anyway I decided to put Stoned Sun Vibrations on hiatus and concentrate my efforts to Downtuned Magazine ('n' Radio). Many of you probably know that Downtuned Mag is dedicated to the Greek heavy rock scene but since I've started Downtuned Radio too, I'm thinking of including posts about releases from all over the world. Apparently I'm going to keep a ratio but we'll see how it'll evolve.
From now on, you can find me on Downtuned Mag. And for any bands interested in reviewing/including them in radio's rotation etc., you can come in touch with me through the contact form over there. As I wrote above. I'll try to keep a ratio and at least in the beginning I'll try to "promote" mostly "smaller", more independent bands that deserve your attention.
So I want to thank each and everyone of you out there who supported, read, promoted and helped this blog. Also a big fat thanks to all the bands which helped SSV in their own way.
That's all for now folks! Thanks again! Maybe SSV will be back someday. Or maybe Downtuned will become better than SSV.... Who knows.
Be well and stay heavy!
Cheers,
Thanos
PS: Rock Trips Mixtapes will be back soon.... They'll be the only thing posted from now on. Perhaps some other personal comps too.

Hellbender - Cosmolux (2011)


Hell yeah. Now we're talking. Hellbender are a 4-piece band from Tennessee playing some serious heavy psych/acid rock with touches of doom and a great vintage feeling. Four mainly instrumental tracks (when vocals kick in, they're perfectly matched with music) balancing between freak out bursts and hypnotic trance states. Not a single moment of dullness or disappointment, just 37 minutes of awesome music. Excellent stuff. I highly recommend it!

You can download it for free through their website, as well as their previous works which are quite raw stuff but I'm sure many of you will like them.

    My favorite band. These guys are exceptional, and so is their music. Long live The Echo Hole.
