Twenty years. As to where the time goes, I couldn’t hope to tell you. Anybody checked the accretion disks of black holes yet? Probably not. Nonetheless, it goes, and metal-leaning Swedish troupe Deville can surely confirm that as the band mark their 20th anniversary with the on-the-nose-titled compilation 20 Years, out Aug. 9. The cassette release will be through Sixteentimes Music, which also put out their 2022 LP, Heavy Lies the Crown (review here), and follows January’s video for “Serpent Days” (posted here) from that record, which brought the first hints of the comp to come.

Fair enough. Deville have always been a forward-looking act, so that they’re trying new things even as they celebrate to-date accomplishments is fitting. The new single — and that’s “new” as in doesn’t-appear-on-another-record, not just new in context — is called “Dust,” and it’s fuzzier feeling than some of what they’ve done in the last however long, but still has the punch one has come to expect from them coinciding with that, along with a healthy dose of shred. Further novelty is offered in the cover of Nine Inch Nails‘ “The Hand that Feeds,” which actually was the single that put me off listening to new stuff from that band — they went from The Fragile to “The Perfect Drug” to that; it was too much a leap for me to make at the time, apparently — but its already-looping-in-my-head hook is inarguable. I have no doubt Deville‘s take will be rad. They’ve been at this for 20 years. They know what they’re doing.

Word of the release came down the PR wire thusly:

DEVILLE: NEW SINGLE “DUST” OUT NOW and ANNOUNCING NEW ALBUM!

Deville, “Dust”

Deville, Heavy Lies the Crown (2022)

Cheers to Swedish hard ‘n’ heavies Deville on the new video for ‘Serpent Days’ from their 2022 album, Heavy Lies the Crown (review here), but double-cheers to the band on marking the 20th anniversary of their inception in 2024. Two decades of riding around the Continent (and beyond) for gigs continues this very evening, as the band undertake a weekender to start off this special year. They’ve got other shows booked through the next few months that you can see listed below as well.

And of course there’s the video too. Since their start, Deville have never stopped progressing, and as their sound has grown sharper and more aggressive in the delivery, their songwriting has grown correspondingly tight, and their niche is more their own now than it’s ever been. After 20 years, that doesn’t strike me as a terrible place to end up.

Deville, Heavy Lies the Crown (2022)

Deville, “Serpent Days” official video

Emitting psych-revelry vibes in transluscent shades from Rolling Stones, Samsara Blues Experiment and the sunny acid folk of Tao and the Drones of Praise, Malmö weirdos Nepal Death offer “She Demon (The Exorcism of the Rakshasi)” as the follow-up single to the video they did for “Sister Nirvana” (posted here), which surfaced this Fall. And like that track, the new one marries classic pop ideologies with mushroomy oddball psych, a traditionalism based on shirking tradition, at least aesthetically, in favor of something more freeing. It wants you to sing along. Maybe you will or maybe not.

So let’s have a dream gig with Nepal Death and fellow outsider-art Swedes Toad Venom, shall we? Could add some cosmic strangeness from the UK in Codex Serafini if you want. Good bill, though I don’t know that it would or wouldn’t ever happen. In any case, a pocket of strangeness tucked away in the recesses of genre is welcome, and Nepal Death answer that call with a duly individualized sound. As to an album, I won’t speculate except to remind that we live in a universe of infinite possibility. Something perhaps to keep in mind as you listen.

From the PR wire:

The Musical Collective of Nepal Death ­now unleash their latest sonic story upon the world. “She Demon (The Exorcism of the ­Rakshasi)” will take you on a mind-­bending trip spanning over nine ­glorious minutes.

The song echoes the rhythms of The Rolling Stones’ ­”Sympathy for the Devil” and the vibes of Primal Scream’s “Movin’ on Up”. Feel the trippy seventies, featuring psychedelic guitars, infectious basslines, drum grooves, magical flute melodies, bells, singing bowls and massive choirs. The lyrics draw inspiration from Hindu legends of the Rakshasi-demons wielding supernatural powers for evil acts. Picture fierce beings with flaming red eyes and hair, savoring the scent of human flesh.

Listen on Spotify HERE: https://open.spotify.com/album/73bW14oc7E38wysA76Fz3o

“Embark on a cosmic odyssey with ‘She Demon’ – Our tribute to ’70s psychedelia, blending the eerie with the energetic. Picture fierce Rakshasi demons and join us in this nine-minute sonic journey featuring amazing guest artists. It’s more than a song; it’s a direct line to the cosmic vibrations of fierce demons!” – says the band.

She Demon is written and performed by Nepal Death, ­featuring guest ­artists Pontus Torstensson ­(Exorcist GBG/Tentakel), Lisa Isaksson (Second Oracle/Me And My Kites), and Anders Kjellberg (Fontän/Tross).

­Recorded at Studio Katakomb, Kali Kitchen Studios and ­Konrad Tönz Klangwerk.
Released by Kali Psyche Records.
Mixed and mastered by Mikael ­Andersson at Soundport ­Music.
Artwork painted by ­enigmatic ­psychedelic performance artist Zephyr Wycorn.

Nepal Death, “She Demon (The Exorcism of the Rakshasi)”

Much to Nepal Death‘s credit, they definitely own up to the “Gimme Shelter” influence in their new single “Sister Nirvana,” which arrives complete with backing singers and that everyone-on-board hook. Also to the Swedish outfit’s credit, they earn it. And they pitch the video as hippie horror, which I guess is fair, but I get way more of the dancing at the show than thee kitsch, but so it goes. I’m sure everyone gets slaughtered in there somewhere.

The band’s self-titled debut came out in 2021 and they have other, short-release odds and ends, EPs and singles. I don’t know if “Sister Nirvana” is heralding a follow-up or what, but it’s out now as things are at the places you can buy digital media — I didn’t find Bandcamp, if that’s your thing — so if you dig it, there’s more you can do which I feel like isn’t always the case in the age of preorders and so on.

Anyway, maybe you check out the track and dig it, or maybe you don’t. Costs you like 30 seconds either way and the video is well done. If you’d ask for more you’re on the wrong genre.

From the PR wire:

DEATH, DECADENCE, AND DISCO BALLS! NEPAL DEATH`S »SISTER NIRVANA!« – 1972 PSYCH ROCK B-MOVIE HIPPIE DANCE HORROR!

ABOUT NEPAL DEATH

Nepal Death is like a transcendent 1972 VW bus voyage along The Hippie Trail. This Swedish musical collective is painting a vibrant auditory tapestry reminiscent of the era of free love, all set against the mysterious backdrop of death goddess Kali Ma. Their music beckons listeners to c ontemplate the metamorphosis (or end) that await them beyond the ultimate destination of Kathmandu.

ABOUT »SISTER NIRVANA«

The music video pays homage to B-movie horror stories from the seventies, featuring captivating dance sequences and a gripping storyline. Directed by filmmaker Emil Dorbell and penned by Nepal Death’s frontman, Anders Hallberg, the video was shot on location in an old strippers’ joint featuring real actors and a horde of evil groovy cultists.

The song is a pulsating empowering psychedelic rock anthem aiming for cosmic dancefloors in all dimensions. Like a marriage of the vibes from The Rolling Stones’ »Gimme Shelter«, and the aura of The Soundtrack of Our Lives or even early Tame Impala. The track encapsulates the essence of the trippy seventies, featuring psych guitars, backward sitars, infectious basslines and a rhythmic drum groove. All interwoven with massive organ and magical flute melodies.

RELEASE DATE AND AVAILABILITY

»Sister Nirvana« will make its grand debut on all major streaming platforms starting NOW! The music video will premiere exclusively on the Nepal Death YouTube and Facebook pages.

Nepal Death, “Sister Nirvana” official video

[Click play above to stream the premiere of Moon Coven’s Sun King. It’s out Friday, Aug. 25, on Ripple Music.]

Swedish four-piece Moon Coven return with their fourth full-length, Sun King, collecting nine songs and 46 minutes of material that continues the band’s progression into the niche between niches. Their third album, 2021’s Slumber Wood (review here), brought them to Ripple Music after their 2016 self-titled (review here) came out on Transubstans, and found them solidifying their approach between classic heavy grooves and psychedelic or jammy impulses. Sun King isn’t a complete departure from this method, but in the fuzzy tone of “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote” and “Behold the Serpent,” or the centerpiece “Below the Black Grow” with its plotted guitar leads later on, “Guilded Apple” coming across with a rock that seems just to want to skate and is way more San Diego than Malmö, and the closer “The Lost Color” feedbacking into its heavy garage thrust, Moon Coven — David Regn Leban (guitar/vocals, also cover art, production, mix), Axel Ganhammar (guitar), Pontus Ekberg (bass) and Fredrik Dahlqvist (drums), plus Joona Hassinen, who mastered — put their focus on songwriting and let the rest shake out as it will.

In the case of the sunny cultism of “Seeing Stone,” that shake is palpable, Moon Coven coming off the Fu Manchu-style riffery and blown-out Fuzz-in-the-woods vocals of “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote” with a more straight-ahead shove in one of Sun King‘s standout hooks and a cut that, along with side B’s “The Yawning Wild” at 4:24, is one of the shorter inclusions at 4:32, sounding like potential Euro tour partners for their labelmates in Sun Voyager as they careen and crash and ion-drive their way through good-time cosmism and heavy vibes for heavy times. And I don’t know if Leban is looking for production clients, but with as full and dense and professional (for what it is) as Sun King sounds, he’s going to have them lining up soon enough if he doesn’t already.

Yeah, the bridge from Black Sabbath‘s “Children of the Grave” is recognizable after the midpoint in “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote” and something about the swing and holding-on-by-a-thread looseness of the penultimate interlude “Death Shine Light on Life,” maybe the lead guitar tone, brings to mind All Them Witches, but beyond these and other superficial comparison points — a riff here reminding of another riff there, and so on — Moon Coven‘s purposes are more intricate than they’ve ever been. The quiet opening of “Behold the Serpent” and the doomly unfolding of its crash-laced nod riff sprawling out give over to a march of a verse with a deceptively complex melody in its low-end fuzz complementing the vocals, a second voice layer kicking in for the chorus/title-line before they shift back to the verse.

These structures are traditional, and stylistically at least, one might call Moon Coven traditional as well, but while they’re obviously schooled on the aesthetic foundations from which they’re operating, at this point they’re also coming on a decade’s remove from their first LP, 2014’s Amanita Kingdom, and that they’d be mature in terms of craft as they are shouldn’t be a surprise. Part of why it is one is because they still sound like a young band.

To listen to “Sun King,” the song itself, its fuzzy cosmic biker boogie is executed with suitable, palpable live energy — which it needs; credit again to Leban as producer as well as player — and it moves into and through its bass-and-drums-hold-the-rhythm-while-the-guitars-line-up-for-slow-Thin-Lizzy-style-soloing, the magic of the two guitars working together highlighted briefly before a sudden and righteous return of the chorus. It is not impatient, nor wanting urgency, and its last lyric, “The turning of the tide if coming/Let’s behead the king,” feels like it’s speaking to real-world concerns through metaphor — though actually Louis XIV of France, aka the Sun King, died of gangrene — in a way that is neither overbearing in stating the obvious message that economic disparity is a bad thing, nor shying away from making the comment at all.

Like a lot of what Moon Coven do, it is a question of finding the place on the balance from which one might manipulate multiple sides. A bassy highlight in its early going, “Below the Black Grow” has a languid fuzzy rollout in its verses and a solo section answering back to the title-track in how it winds into the chorus and makes its way through to finish with a return of that easygoing-feeling fuzz, almost Brant Bjorkian for its just-right tempo and abidingly cool vibe. “Guilded Apple” tucks a dream-shimmer solo away in its second half as its ending, but its six minutes are more defined by thrust and the smoothness of the shuffle happening amid the momentum carrying Moon Coven into “The Yawning Wild,” which is all about the fuzz and the winding lead that cuts through it. They have the riff, they know they have the riff, you know they have the riff, so here it is. And when you have that kind of riff, you don’t need anything else. That they realized it is further evidence to support their maturity, but it’s not really in argument.

Feedback caps “The Yawning Wild,” as one would hope, and the instrumental “Death Shine Light on Life” picks up with a subtle push thanks largely to the drums, which assure that the spacey guitar that might just otherwise lie down and relax a while keeps moving toward “The Lost Color.” The finale echoes some of the Californian twist of “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote” or “Seeing Stone,” but has its own gritted-out intention before its solo closes like “Guilded Apple” earlier on; an ending that one might call understated if not for the song in question. “The Lost Color” certainly has a crescendo, but its payoff is for itself rather than the whole of Sun King, and maybe that’s a fitting representation of the record too, since it’s the songs that have led the way all along.

An accomplished creative process wrought with discernible care, attention and a mind toward continued growth, Moon Coven‘s Sun King signals that the four-piece have no interest in settling into easy categorization or resting on past laurels. It is an immersive but not numbing listening experience, and moves with sneaky grace derived from the band’s collective persona. Perhaps most of all, it rocks, and maybe that’s enough to ask of it.

Swedish jammers CB3 have lined up a string of dates outside their home country for later this summer and early Fall. Starting Aug. 5 at Krach am Bach, they’ll play mostly in Germany — which I hear is how it goes — but will also support Earthless in Copenhagen, so that’s a bonus as the band supports their stellar-in-theme-and-realization 2022 release, Exploration (review here), and begins to hint at new music to come.

In April, CB3 — Charlotta’s Burning Trio, led by guitarist/vocalist Charlotta Andersson — announced bassist Pelle Lindsjö had left the band. They added Simon, either on bass and synth or just synth alongside Andersson‘s guitar and Natanael Solmonsson‘s drums, and these will be the group’s first shows in this incarnation. Hopefully someone gets good video.

The dates follow as posted on social media:

CB3 – European Tour 2023

This year we celebrate 10 years as a band/project. 10 years of experiments and exploration of music, soundscapes, improvisation and the riff.

To celebrate 10 years we will go on tour in Europe. We’re excited bring our new line-up with our incredible synth-player, bringing a big sound as we continue our space adventure for more years to come!

For 5 years of adventure we say thank you to Pelle, who has decided to move in another direction. We’ve been blessed to have you with us and wish you all the best moving forward.

CB3, Exploration (2022)

Looking for some good tonal dirt? Hit up the video at the bottom of this post for Moon Coven‘s new single “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote.” It’s the opening track of the Malmö, Sweden, four-piece’s new album, Sun King, which is out Aug. 25 through Ripple Music. The clip was recorded live in the studio, so it might be a bit rawer than the final version on the LP, but considering Moon Coven‘s work to-date, probably not that much rawer. The band were last heard from in 2021 with their third full-length, Slumber Wood (review here), and some of the intention they note below to shake up their style can be heard in the trippy echo of screaming slide guitar over the groove they ride to the song’s finish. I guess if you’ve got ‘moon’ in the name of your band, putting ‘sun’ in the album title is a decent way to let people know you’re trying something different.

This will be the band’s second offering as a four-piece, and they’ve always had an out-there edge to their sound, so if that’s where they’re headed this time around I’ll look forward to hearing it. The below came down the PR wire:

Swedish heavy psychedelic rockers MOON COVEN return with new album “Sun King” on Ripple Music this summer; debut single and preorder available!

Malmö-based heavy psychedelic merchants MOON COVEN return this August 25th with their fourth studio album “Sun King” on Ripple Music, and unveil a powerful live video for their new single “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote”!

Two years after unleashing their juggernaut third record and Ripple Music debut “Slumber Wood” upon the world, MOON COVEN are now ready to shift the Earth’s axis and mesmerize the masses once again with a fresh set of tunes in the sheerest tradition of modern heavy psychedelia: “Sun King”. Entirely recorded and produced by the band, their fourth studio album is a generous and compelling 9-track propelled by a renewed synergy: fueled up with fuzz for days, the band keeps their myth-laden doom ethos strong while enhancing their garage-psych facet for a spirited saga full of riffic plot twists.

About new album “Sun King”, the band comments: “In some ways, Sun King was a fresh start for us. After one member had to leave the band and after three stoner/doom albums, we wanted to try other styles as well. To keep producing interesting music, we had to expand our horizons a bit. In our opinion, Sun King is our most diverse album. It’s fun and playful sometimes and dark and powerful other times. The only aims we had was to keep the songwriting fun and creative while not feeling too limited. Also we recorded everything ourselves, which meant the recording process became more creative. We had unlimited time to explore without thinking about loss of money.”

“Sun King” was recorded and mixed by David Regn Leban, and mastered by Joona Hassinen. The artwork was created by David Regn Leban. It will be released on August 25th in various vinyl editions, as well as on CD and digital through Ripple Music.

Moon Coven, “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote” official video

As regards travel fantasies, Australia is the ultimate dream, as far as I’m concerned. I’d love to see China, Japan, Nepal, India, everywhere, Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, on and on, but Australia is about as far away from where I’m starting out as you can get and still be on the same globe. Swedish heavybringers Deville will head that way in June to catch slots at the Riff Mountain and Spliffs ‘n’ Riffs festivals with headlining dates besides. The increasingly forceful four-piece released their Heavy Lies the Crown (review here) album last Fall through Sixteentimes Music, stomping hard on the line between heavy rock and metal as has been their wont across their last several outings.

They go as veterans, and though the tour was originally slated for 2020, which would’ve seen them support 2018’s Pigs With Gods (review here), they’re that much firmer in their purposes for the time differential, and it’s easy to imagine their Scandinavian grooves will be well met by the Australian winter.

And since I mentioned it at the start, I did look up flights to Australia for these two weeks — not inviting myself or anything, just curious — and, well, if I ever happen into a spare two grand and three days of travel time, I’m sure I’ll keep you posted. Good for Deville making the (somewhat shorter but still significant) trip in the meantime.

Beats Cartel sent the following down the PR wire:

SWEDISH RIFF LORDS DEVILLE MAKE FIRST TRIP TO AUSTRALIA

Get tickets: https://www.beatscartel.com/showtickets

Swedish riff lords Deville make their first trip to Australia this June after Covid halted their plans in 2020, today having again announced plans for an extensive national tour on the back of multiple festival appearances and their latest album release “Heavy Lies the Crown”.

Born in 2004, Deville have developed through a haze of Rock, Stoner and Metal sounds, creating something unique which has seen them support the likes of Red Fang, Sepultura, Torche, Fu Manchu, Truckfighters and tour the US, UK and Europe many times over, playing the world’s best venues and festivals.

With albums signed to Heavy Psych Sounds, Buzzville Records, Small Stone Records and Sweden’s Fuzzorama Records, the band have given almost 20 years of service to Rock’n’Roll, a feat rarely realised in today’s music business. This tour will celebrate the upcoming milestone.

June 2023 sees the Swedes travel to Australia for their first ever tour of the country after Covid shut down their 2021 Australian tour post-announce. Presented by Beats Cartel, the tour racks up nine dates in six states/territories and will see the band appear alongside some of Australia’s best talent plus the new Riff Mountain Festival in Brisbane and a double header at WA’s Spliffs’n’Riffs.

Lead singer Andreas Bengtsson says of the upcoming tour “Touring Australia for the first time is of course a huge thing for us and doing it when the band is turning 20 years old makes it even better. We’re thrilled to share the stage during this run with some of our favourite Australian bands. This will be a good one, hope to see you all at a show.”

Catch Deville this Winter, making their way across the country coast to coast for what will be a fun and energetic display of European hard Rock. Tickets are onsale now through www.beatscartel.com/showtickets.
