Drive By Wire - Blood Red Moon Single (2017)

Don't worry (or worry, if you don't like the concept), the Greek week is not over yet, it's just a teeny tiny break for this awesome single.

I guess we all know that this Dutch heavy psych/stoner rock band can kick some ass, but damn is Drive By Wire on fire this time. Their new single has been on repeat all day, what a great preview of their upcoming album. The Dutch veterans mixes slick guitar grooves with fuzzed out psych rock textures and wonderful vocals. Yep, Simone has such a fantastic singing ability, there is no describing the depth of raw power she has. Melt into this track, let itself wrap around you and take over!

The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation - Succubus (2009)

You've probably seen already the album cover above, so you know what that means. It's darkjazz time again!

The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation was the live improvised alter ego of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. Saidly, both bands are now disbanded. But check out The Thing With Five Eyes, the new projct of Jason Kohnen (one of the founding members of TKDE and TMFDC).

Succubus is the their second album. In my opinion their best and most interesting one. It was recorded live while viewing Jess Franco's Succubus (1968). This music is more darker and atmospheric than The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. Filled with grimy electronic beats and a hypnotising trombone sound that just goes up your spine. So, what can I say more that hasn't already been said? This is the real dark/doom jazz experience!

Langs (Metropolis). - last.fm
