<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Recorded at their debut European appearance at the iconic German rock festival, brothers Kyle and Kelly Juett along with Judge Smith have captured their steaming hot stew of UFO and Iron Maiden inspired metal; southern Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top swagger, and deathly Sabbathian doom. A concoction that should by all accounts prove too heavy to handle on record, but as fans will soon discover, <em>Mothership Live Over Freak Valley</em> will deliver the filth and fury of the full Mothership live experience.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Since 2013 the band has travelled non-stop, playing live across the USA, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe; taking to festival stages, nightclubs, and under the sun at whatever motorcycle parties they could find. They are for all intents and purposes a heavy rock juggernaut that has only just begun to tear a hole in the cosmos. And guess what? They have no plans of slowing down for anyone.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
All this month Mothership embark on a US tour with Corrosion of Conformity, Brant Bjork and Saviours where the band will have CDs of <em>Mothership Live Over Freak Valley</em> on sale ahead of its official vinyl release on Ripple Music in the New Year.

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Venturing to Portland to work with Adam Pike at Toadhouse Studios in February 2015, the band’s intention was to explore the heavy sonic principles of the Pacific Northwest and embrace Portland’s music scene. Under the tutelage of Pike, who recorded Red Fang’s debut album and tours with them as their front of house engineer, he served as an integral component in achieving the band’s aspirations in the studio and ensuring their exploits across the city were well advised.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Swagger and muscle, charm and wit, Chron Goblin pair melody with aggression and groove for a fresh interpretation of heavy. Following the success of 2013’s sophomore album <em>Life For The Living</em>, and having toured the UK, USA and Canada, the band’s third full-length album Backwater picks up where the former left off. Holy Grove vocalist, Andrea Vidal, features on the ethereal first half of ‘The Wailing Sound’, a track offering contrasts to brain pummelling heavy rockers such as ‘Fuller’, ‘Give Way’, and the meandering complexities of ‘The Return’.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em>Backwater</em> will be released through Ripple Music worldwide on November 13 2015 but in the meantime, you can stream and share ‘The Wailing Sound’ by Chron Goblin, exclusively via Invisible Oranges here – <a href="http://shelteredlifepr.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=49c7a56f99547e08c158bda50&id=637caf91a1&e=5ba760fa36" style="color: #c30000; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.14s ease 0s;" target="_blank">http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2015/11/chron-goblin-the-wailing-sound-track-premiere/</a></div>

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
“We are thrilled to be working with our brothers in the riff at Ripple for this new record!” says vocalist Kent Stump. “We’ve been friends with Todd and Pope for a while and have always had a lot of respect for them personally, as well as the label itself, and we just kinda realised, that, hey, we should be working together. They are passionate about the music they release, they make really good choices when it comes to signing bands, they’re all about treating artists fairly and trying to help this scene grow, and they’re also a label on the rise.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Throughout their sonic odyssey spanning five studio albums, a live album, and two splits, beginning in 2006 with <em>The Gathering Dark</em>, they have stayed true to the deep, dark blues that wail from within and have continually forged their riffs with a primal groove. Going stronger and rocking harder than ever before, the band are currently readying their next chapter – and first with Ripple – with the release of their brand new album <em>Midnight Cometh</em>. Looming on the horizon and due for release in Spring 2016, this newest slab of riffage lurking in your future is easily their most daring and psychotropic exploration of heaviness to date.</div>

“We’ve been huge fans of Wo Fat and their maniacal brand of riff-heavy psychedelic grooves,” explains Ripple Music’s Todd Severin, “And they never fail to be one of the most mesmerising bands we’ve ever seen on stage. We’re beyond thrilled to welcome them into the Ripple family.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
The critical success of their albums, most notably 2009’s <em>Psychedelonaut</em>, which truly solidified the Wo Fat name in the Stoner Rock community and secured them world wide recognition, helped land the band appearances at the legendary Roadburn Festival, Desertfest, Freak Valley Festival, Psycho California Festival and Sylak Open Air Festival as parts of a number of successful international tours.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em>Midnight Cometh</em> is slated for release in Spring 2016 and will be supported by a European tour, which will also include appearances at Desertfest in Berlin and London (<a href="http://shelteredlifepr.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=49c7a56f99547e08c158bda50&id=050d343fde&e=5ba760fa36" style="color: #c30000; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.14s ease 0s;" target="_blank">www.thedesertfest.com</a>), and Hellfest, France (<a href="http://shelteredlifepr.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=49c7a56f99547e08c158bda50&id=fbaf77177b&e=5ba760fa36" style="color: #c30000; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.14s ease 0s;" target="_blank">www.hellfest.fr</a>).</div>

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Having come together out of a shared appreciation for forgotten 60s and 70s music, it didn’t take long for the duo to find kindred spirits in drummer Michel Marcq and bass player Sébastien Boutin Blomfield as they sought to pull together the rhythm section required to knock out a monumentally heavy live set. Initially performing covers of Coven, Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple, out of the riffs and drum rolls of old grew new, original numbers that would later surface fully formed on their 2012 debut <em>DoomO EP</em> on STB Records.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Inspired by the recent wave of Scandinavian stoner/rock bands such as Graveyard, Witchcraft and Spiders, throughout 2013 and 2014 DoctoR DooM took part in a series of high profile festival appearances including Spain’s Riff Ritual Fest, Doom Over Karalis in Sardinia and Germany’s much-celebrated DesertFest before taking to the studio at the end of last year to record their very first LP.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<em>This Seed We Have Sown</em> by DoctoR DooM will be released worldwide on 24th July 2015 on Ripple Music, with a limited vinyl released on STB Records out toward the end of June.</div>

The set features Ape Machine’s blistering hour-long performance in front of a sold-out festival crowd and serves up proof that the band lives up to their reputation of captivating and commanding live audiences.<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
In addition to the upcoming <em>Live at Freak Valley</em> release, Ape Machine has released three critically acclaimed full-length albums, two recent releases of which – <em>Mangled By The Machine</em> and <em>War To Head</em>– were produced by Ikey Owens (Jack White, Mars Volta, Mastodon) who also contributed keyboards to both albums. Owens was slated to produce the band’s fourth full-length this summer before his untimely death this past October while on tour with Jack White. In Ikey Owens’s absence, the band plans to record their next full length this April with long-time friend Jacob Golden producing.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Last year also found Ape Machine touring extensively, sharing the stage with bands such as Motorhead, Helmet, Orange Goblin, Crobot plus many others. With their <em>Live At Freak Valley</em> release arriving on 26th May, a new album in the pipeline and more planned for later in the year, 2015 promises to be busy year for one of the best new bands on the scene.</div>

Ripple Music is thrilled to announce the signing of Oakland, California’s Blackwülf to their ever-growing and impressive roster of artists in 2015.<br /><br />The band – made up of vocalist Alex Cunningham, guitarist Pete Holmes, drummer Dave Pankenier and bassist Scott Peterson – prowl the musical feeding grounds of stoner rock, doom-cloaked soundscapes and vintage heavy metal. Dark sonic forests that provide coverage for their unholy mix of parapsychological anger and aggression, and bluesy head-banging riffs.<br /><br />With a résumé that includes member stints with bands like San Francisco’s Acid King, The Nads, Tucson’s Naked Prey and Mountain Pig, Blackwülf is already a seasoned predator. Formed in 2012, it wasn’t until January of last year that the band unleashed their debut album <em>Mind Traveller</em> on Wicker Man Recordings, pressed on clear red vinyl and featuring jacket illustrations from acclaimed San Franciscan artist Alan Forbes (Queens Of The Stone Age, The Misfits). The record, much like Blackwülf themselves was unabashed in its typical, “What you see is what you get” aesthetic. Melding heavy stoner riffs to sincere, pure rock indulgence that has since paved the way for the self-released 7” split single ‘Acid Reign’ with Portland’s Black Snake last September.<br /> </div>
<div>
Offering up another dose of melody and raw power and a nod to the golden old schools of heavy 70s and 80s pre-thrash metal Blackwülf will release their new album this June via Ripple Music.

Yet such an unruly and original sonic meltdown of metal, psychedelia and blues-rock was never destined to stay gone for long.<br />
<br />
This February, thanks to the California-based label Ripple Music it will receive an official worldwide release across Europe and North America.<br />
<br />
"We're extremely excited to be working with Geezer to help spread their distorted heavy blues around the world,” explains label boss Todd Severin. “These cats are the real deal. They live it, they breathe it. It all comes through in <em>Gage</em>, which is a masterwork of heavy psychedelic blues. A real pace-setter for the scene.”<br />
<br />
Recorded as a follow to their 2013 debut album <em>Electrically Recorded Handmade Heavy Blues</em> by the Kingston, New York trio – made up of Pat Harrington (Guitar, Vocals), Freddy Villano (Bass) and Chris Turco (Drums) – <em>Gage</em> now stands as the most complete release in Geezer’s canon. “The bass is a leviathan of low end rumble, the blues guitar forging molten riffs of iron and steel, and the drum work massive and purposeful.” (Heavy Planet)<br />
<br />
Offering listeners an aural appreciation of the American outsider, it drops peyote grooves on opener ‘Ancient Song’, visits the Delta (‘Thorny’) and unleashes a number of fuzz-driven subterranean jams of the highest order. The best of which can be heard on EP highlight ‘Ghost Ride Solar Plexus’, a riotous trip into the hard-edged and heavy acid blues sounds of ’70s groups like Josefus and Blue Cheer. The loose and live feel of Harrington’s raw and unruly guitar and vocal work providing the perfect foil to Villano and Turco’s tight rhythm section.<br />
<br />
Already hailed as one of 2014’s best in end of year polls by The Obelisk, The Ripple Effect and Heavy Planet, expect to hear a lot more from Geezer both onstage and on record. Known for their mind-bending live performances, they have shared bills with the likes of High On Fire, Wo Fat, The Midnight Ghost Train, Lo-Pan, Gozu and Borracho, as well as Volume IV, Order Of The Owl and Kings Destroy.<br />
<br />
Geezer’s <em>Gage</em> EP will receive an official worldwide release via Ripple Music on 9th February 2015 (Europe) and 10th February 2015 (USA).<br />

<br />
<em>"Handmade Heavy Blues is a deep and heavy blues based rock. Imagine The Black Keys with a bit more evil in them. Geezer even sounds a bit like Larmon Clamor mixed with a little Five Horse Johnson. Either way you look at it, you’re getting a heavy blues album that covers it all."</em><br />

<em>“It's a powerful and soothing expression of nearly a hundred years of music placed upon an altar that a thousand giants built and cherished, and this one may stand the test of time in ways that will continue to define the genre for a long time to come. Yes, it's that damn good.”</em><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">The Ripple Effect</span></strong><br />
<br />
<em>“The whole thing sounds like a peyote trip in the desert. Languid guitar passages swirl visibly like heat rising from a long stretch of highway asphalt. You can taste the sand in your teeth, smell the chopper fumes, feel the urge to finally find solace in a dusty saloon. This shit works.”</em><br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong>Vinyl Junkies</strong></span><br />

<em>“Smoke-tinged vocals, orange amped guitars and hard rhythms combine to form a sound like Charley Patton getting into a fist fight with Junior Kimbrough over who gets the last bottle of hooch in an old liquor store.”</em><br />

<strong>Ripple Music Limited Edition LP's tend to sell out in minutes (like the Mothership II Cosmic Edition which was cleaned out completely in 15 minutes). But every once in a while we discover a few in the warehouse and that becomes your opportunity to get in before they're all gone. Not all Limited Editions are available (once they're sold out--they're out).

When the mystical lyrics lock in with the band’s stone-cold groove, APE MACHINE demonstrates an earth-shaking ability to rock. A true four-piece, the group has been called real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation that delivers true guts and glory rock and roll.</span></div>

<strong></strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">.S. Rock is the second release from the mighty Poobah (originally released in 1976) and the also the second to be re-issued by Ripple Music. The album features ten tracks in the original running order, remastered by T. Dallas Reed at HeavyHead Studios. This is the first time that this album has seen the light of day in almost forty years and the CD edition features four bonus tracks, including a blistering live rendition of “Steamroller”. Jim Gustafson, the Grand Poobah himself, delivers a resounding set of six string heroics that should have seen him sitting alongside the greats of the time, and shows why he is the Wizard of Heavy Psyche!</span></div>

<strong></strong>The first official live recording of the early 70's iconic cult group, Leaf Hound, captures a band that hasn't lost a step and knows how to get a crowd in a frenzy. Led by the enigmatic Peter French, Leaf Hound, who are best known for their epic 1971 album Growers Of Mushrooms, delivers a high energy and raucous performance for a rabid Japanese crowd. Mixing in classic material with the bands more recent tunes, Leaf Hound show no signs of letting up after four decades of plying their trade!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br />Austin, TX's heavy psychedelic act <strong>SWEAT LODGE</strong> has signed with Ripple Music and their new album, <strong><em>Talismana</em></strong>, will be out in early 2015. Keep an eye out for more details in the coming weeks, but for now, you can get a taste of the new album by clearing yourself an area to rock out and streaming the infectiously groovy track "Slow Burn" on Bandcamp.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 24px;"><strong>Listen to Sweat Lodge's new track "Slow Burn" now at <a href="http://tumblr.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=266af0b2d9cdd64e836c101b5&id=2664e3bea2&e=142f254d38" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank">THIS LOCATION</a>.</strong></span><br /><br /><strong>Sweat Lodge</strong> are aptly named, as the sound produced by this Austin TX, vibe tribe is best experienced in a dark, smoke filled room. Eschewing modern tendencies in heavy music to rely on brute force, the group combines epic, technical songwriting with enough neolithic heaviness to keep the cavemen happy. Beginning as a bass/drums/vox trio in summer 2010, the band developed a groove-laden sound that relied on Caleb Dawson’s heavy yet nuanced backbeat and the saturated tone of Austin “The Shock” Shockley's gnarled bass-fuzz, laying the foundation for singer Cody Lee's soaring vocals. As heard on their cardinal self-titled 7” recorded the following year with Orville Neeley (OBN III’s, Bad Sports etc.) the tight, dynamic rhythm section and commanding vocals deliver the songs expertly, but their ambition to expand sonically would require the addition of 6-string guitar. Enter guitarist Javier Gardea and permanent addition to the groups lineup,guitarist Dustin Anderson,who play off of one another to create a web of intricate melodic sections matched with one-ton riffs and passages of hypnotic psychedelia. In the two years since,the group’s sound has gotten bigger and better, culminating in the recording of the group’s first LP.<br /><br />The debut full-length <em>Talismana</em> tackles the ponderous concept of man finding his place in the universe and the many physical and spiritual hurdles one faces in the process. In using the concept of the talisman as protection against evil and vice as well as a catalyst for change in the self and society as a whole, frontman Lee uses his songs as a platform to address the metaphysical and psychological plight of modern man through the lense of ancient wisdom and magical practice. Much like the ceremonial lodge which inspired their name, the music of Sweat Lodge offers enlightenment and purification to those who can stand the heat.<br /><br />Look for more info on <em>Talismana</em>, Sweat Lodge's Ripple Music debut album, in the coming weeks!<br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;"><strong>To set up an interview with Sweat Lodge, please contact Cat Jones at <a href="mailto:southernxpr@gmail.com" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer; font-weight: normal;">southernxpr@gmail.com</a>.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Links:</strong></span><br /><a href="http://tumblr.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=266af0b2d9cdd64e836c101b5&id=a247b3fdf8&e=142f254d38" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Sweat Lodge on Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://tumblr.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=266af0b2d9cdd64e836c101b5&id=8bfc4c5c96&e=142f254d38" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">sweatlodgemusic.bandcamp.com</a><br /><a href="http://tumblr.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=266af0b2d9cdd64e836c101b5&id=a015e14506&e=142f254d38" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">ripple-music.com</a></div>

London, England's heavy psychedelic trio Stubb has released their exquisitely intricate sophomore album, Cry Of The Ocean, via Ripple Music. Some critical acclaim for this exquisite piece of heavy rock:<br />
<br />
"Cry of the Ocean is undoubtedly a release of superb heartwarming, hard rocking soulfulness."<br />
- Ninehertz<br />
<br />
"For the dedicated music fan, hearing a great new album is rather akin to the feeling that a gourmet gets when introduced to a particularly tasty meal. The pulse quickens, the heart pulses and a sense of excitement. It is just this feeling that strikes when you are introduced to the flaming guitars and psychedelic visions of London’s mighty Stubb.”<br />
- Sonic Abuse<br />
<br />
"A more complex offering...and in case you're worried, there's no shortage of fuzz, either."<br />
- The Obelisk<br />

<br />
The power trios of the late '60s and early '70s are the blueprint for Stubb’s loud, hard-driving, fuzzed-up heavy blues rock. The band recorded their first full length album for UK label Superhot Records, and hit the road, gigging with such heavy rock luminaries as the Gentlemans Pistols, Firebird, Cherry Choke, Steak, Sungrazer and The Machine as well as playing to a packed house at Desertfest. Making the trip over to Europe twice with Stone Axe from the USA further cemented Stubb's reputation as a solid live act with some serious chops. Quickly, their debut album sold out and fans of heavy rock have been waiting eagerly for their sophomore effort. Now, Ripple Music is proud to deliver Cry of the Ocean, a blissed-out new album that will cement Stubb’s place in the hierarchy of elite heavy rock bands.<br />
<br />
Stubb is:<br />
Jack Dickinson - Guitar and vocals<br />
Tom Fyfe - Drums<br />
Peter Holland - Bass<br />

Though Kingston, NY's blues-based stoner/psych trio Geezer originally released their 2014 EP Gage on VERY limited vinyl through STB Records, selling out almost immediately, Ripple Music is now teaming up with STB to release the worldwide version on February 9th in Europe/UK and February 10th in North America.<br />
<br />
More on the tale of Geezer...<br />
<br />
In a dark corner of an old dusty metal shop, alongside the menacing blasts of industrial age freight trains, that’s where the sound was forged. Where the rusted steel of a bygone era meets the ancient spirits of legendary mountains, that’s where the reckoning came to be. As a whole greater than it’s parts (and a whole lotta noise along the way), a beacon arose from the valley below and brought forth a new sense of old ways and a recalibration of doctrine.<br />
<br />
In other words: Geezer lays down thick heavy grooves rooted in the tradition of pre-war slide guitar blues, while simultaneously breaking boundaries through sonic experimentation and improvisation. Known for their mind-bending live performances, Geezer has shared the stage with some of the heaviest hitters around, including Wo Fat, The Midnight Ghost Train, Lo-Pan, Gozu and Borracho, as well as Volume IV, Order Of The Owl, Kings Destroy and others at The Eye Of The Stoned Goat Festival in Worchester, MA.<br />
<br />
Listen to Gage EP in its entirety here:<br />
<a href="https://geezertown.bandcamp.com/album/gage">https://geezertown.bandcamp.com/album/gage</a><br />
<br />
Geezer is:<br />
Pat Harrington - guitar, vocals<br />
Freddy Villano - bass<br />
Chris Turco - drums<br />
<br />
“The bass is a leviathan of low end rumble, the blues guitar forging molten riffs of iron and steel, and the drum work massive and purposeful.”<br />
- Heavy Planet<br />
<br />
“It's a powerful and soothing expression of nearly a hundred years of music placed upon an altar that a thousand giants built and cherished, and this one may stand the test of time in ways that will continue to define the genre for a long time to come. Yes, it's that damn good.”<br />
- The Ripple Effect<br />
<br />
“The whole thing sounds like a peyote trip in the desert. Languid guitar passages swirl visibly like heat rising from a long stretch of highway asphalt. You can taste the sand in your teeth, smell the chopper fumes, feel the urge to finally find solace in a dusty saloon. This shit works.”<br />
- Vinyl Junkies<br />

Dallas, Texas-based, supersonic, intergalactic heavy rock trio and family unit Mothership have released their thunderous sophomore album, Mothership II, via Ripple Music today. In honor of its release, The Obelisk is streaming the second single from the album, "Holy Massacre," today. The Obelisk comments that "The song’s fluidity, natural tonality, live feel and high-octane delivery speak to many of the strengths at work across the album, and that’s not to mention the strength of the hook at play in its chorus. A bluesy chug emerges as it builds to its stomping apex.”<br />
<br />
Turn up your speakers and blast "Holy Massacre" at <a href="http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2014/11/11/mothership-ii-holy-massacre-stream/" target="_blank">THIS LOCATION</a>.<br />
<br />
If you missed it, you can also stream "Priestess Of The Moon" via Terrorizer HERE.<br />
<br />
Mothership II, which was engineered at Dallas' Crystal Clear Studios by none other than Kent Stump of Wo Fat, can be ordered on black gatefold vinyl <a href="http://ripplemusic.bigcartel.com/product/mothership-ii" target="_blank">HERE</a>, digipack CD<a href="http://ripplemusic.bigcartel.com/product/mothership-ii-cd" target="_blank"> HERE</a>, and digitally <a href="https://ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/album/mothership-ii" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
"Mothership’s goal is a simple yet admirable one; to carry on the tradition of the classic rock style of the ’70′s, updated and amped up for the modern day. Marrying Sabbath-esque riffs to a kind of ZZ Top swagger, if you’ve got a soft spot for this style of music then you’re going to love this."<br />

Lafayette, Louisiana's bluesy southern rock outfit WHITE LIGHT CEMETERY is the latest band to sign with bay-area heavy-riff label Ripple Music. Though an exact release date has yet to be set for the new album, look for an announcement in the coming months.<br />
<br />
In 2011 White Light Cemetery released their first EP, Crow Sessions, cementing their sound as a bluesy amalgamation of influences like Lynrd Sknyrd, Pantera, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Crowbar and Deep Purple. The band has gained a sizable following in Louisiana and the attention of many southern rock/metal fans throughout south, opening for a wide range on national acts, most notably Down, Goatwhore and Crowbar. After the "Band of Brothers on the Bayou Tour" opening for the Kyle Turley Band in the summer of 2013, White Light Cemetery entered the studio and released a full length album followed by a stint with Crowbar as main support for the "Crushing the South" tour.<br />
<br />
Past praise for White Light Cemetery:<br />
<br />
“White Light Cemetery is a low chugging band of Southern brother-dudes, cranking out dirty metal and corrosion steel...If you like pulverizing riffage, thunder sounds and diamond bags filled with white lightning seeds, you will dig them too.” -Dege Legg, The Pipeline on The IND<br />
<br />
“I have a soft spot for this type of sound, heavy rock in the spirit of Down and Black Label Society, mixing Sabbath riffing with Southern warmth a la Lynyrd Skynyrd. But still, it's a type of music that can be easily done in the wrong way, if it lacks heart and skill, and drop into a simple copy of stuff that's already been played. Doesnt happen here. Where other bands in the same mold seem to have failed recently, White Light Cemetery gives five tracks of great riffs, heavy beauty and warm melodies, balancing the southern touches with that slight smokey, electric despair that Down seem to have matched so well." -Andrea Contanzo, Doommantia<br />

Today, <strong>Ripple Music</strong> has announced that it has inked a new record deal with Bay Area heavy rock and roll outfit <strong>ZED</strong>, who will be releasing their third album in 2015.<br /><br />Blasting onto the San Francisco Bay Area rock scene in 2007, ZED quickly made a name for themselves with their crushing live shows and incessant grooves. Having played together in various projects since 1998, including releasing an album with the band Stitch for Prosthetic/Metal Blade Records, Guitarist/Vocalist Peter Sattari, drummer Rich Harris and bassist Mark Aceves joined up with guitar wizard Greg Lopes to create a sound that was uniquely their own, a sound whose sole purpose was to rock, with no concern for genres, labels, classifications or rules. Drawing from their varied influences ranging from classic '70s rock, punk/hardcore, metal and old school funk, ZED writes music that grabs you, throws you around and grooves you all at once. The band has been likened to "a pissed off Led Zeppelin with Chris Cornell meets Ian Astbury on vocals," ZED writes songs that linger in your head long after you listen to them.<br /><br />ZED independently released their sophomore album <em>Desperation Blues</em> in May of 2013, which garnered critical acclaim as well as charting on CMJ throughout the summer. Supporting the album up and down the west coast, ZED has played consistently through the fall of 2014 where they are now focusing on writing their follow up to <em>Desperation Blues</em> which is also their debut for Ripple Music. ZED is excited and proud to be joining the Ripple Music family and look forward to making heads bob and asses shake in 2015.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;">Listen to 2013's <em>Desperation Blues</em> here:<br /><a href="http://tumblr.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=266af0b2d9cdd64e836c101b5&id=d02235bf45&e=142f254d38" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">http://zedisded.bandcamp.com</a></span><br /><br />To speak with ZED, please contact <strong><a href="mailto:southernxpr@gmail.com" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer; font-weight: normal;">southernxpr@gmail.com</a></strong>.</div>

Atlanta's VOLUME IV may have been quiet as of late, but with a huge year ahead of them and many things to announce in the coming months, they're kicking things off by taking their southern-tinged biker doom riffs on the road and laying waste to the south as well as the east coast.<br />

Watch the haunting video for "Awake The Dreamer," which premiered on MetalSucks:<br />

<br />
With equal parts elegant beauty and steamrolling aggression, Volume IV serve up a piece of ear candy for the ages with Long In The Tooth. This first release with Ripple Music is a concise, 36-minute thrill ride of swampy metal heroics, featuring heavy grooves, classic bluesy stoner riffs, and an overall impending sense of doom. These boys bring back the old school attitude of musical sensibility, working hard to master your instrument, and taking pride in creating a wide pallet of musical styles: Thunderous drumming locked tight within the pocket, bass guitar providing a dense foundation for the thick guitar and gritty yet melodic vocals that lay on top. In a world where everything is mechanized, click-tracked and auto-tuned, Volume IV does it the only way, the honest way, straight from the gut.<br />
<br />
Individually the members of Volume IV have shared the stage with legendary acts such as Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Danzig, Mastodon, Corrosion Of Conformity and Down just to name a few. Led by singer/guitarist Joe Carpenter and filled out by bassist Blake Parris and drummer Troy King, Volume IV has stunned the metal world with one of the most anticipated releases of the year.<br />
<br />
"Volume IV draw from a set of southern, '70s, biker and stoner rock, amalgamating the mix into a very spacious, slow-motion burl that possesses a deep groove."<br />
- Metal Hammer<br />
<br />
"What draws us to Volume IV is their willingness to step a bit outside the confines of what you might normally expect from a group of stoner/sludge/whatever beardos and longhairs."<br />
- MetalSucks<br />
<br />
“The riff is heavy and the groove is huge, it's biker metal done perfectly. We mentioned this release was highly anticipated, but it surpassed even our expectations. Definitely a top ten album of the year candidate.”<br />
- Stoner Rock BBQ<br />

Dallas, Texas-based, supersonic, intergalactic heavy rock trio and family unit Mothership have revealed the riff-heavy anthem "Priestess Of The Moon" from their forthcoming sophomore album, <em>Mothership II</em>. Terrorizer, who are hosting the stream today, note that "Mothership’s goal is a simple yet admirable one; to carry on the tradition of the classic rock style of the ’70′s, updated and amped up for the modern day. Marrying Sabbath-esque riffs to a kind of ZZ Top swagger, if you’ve got a soft spot for this style of music then you’re going to love this."<br /><br />Mothership II, which was engineered at Dallas' Crystal Clear Studios by none other than Kent Stump of Wo Fat, will be unleashed November 10th in Europe and November 11th in North America on both single LP gatefold vinyl and digipack CD.<br /> </div>

<em>“Mothership‘s new album is a scorcher, plain and simple. The Texas natives made waves with their self-titled debut, which got picked up by Ripple for a re-release, but Mothership II is a different beast altogether, and one that trounces its predecessor easily.”</em><br /><br />- H.P. Taskmaster, The Obelisk<br /><br /><em>"Warning: May cause heads to explode and make your ears bleed. Mothership upped the ante with 'II.' It's Darker and grittier than their debut.

The band recorded their first full length album for UK label Superhot Records, and hit the road, gigging with such heavy rock luminaries as the Gentlemans Pistols, Firebird, Cherry Choke, Steak, Sungrazer and The Machine as well as appearing at Desertfest to a packed house. Making the trip over to Europe twice with Stone Axe from the USA further cemented Stubb's reputation as a solid live act with some serious chops. Quickly, their debut album sold out and fans of heavy rock have been waiting eagerly for their sophomore effort. Now, Ripple Music is proud to deliver </span><em style="font-family: arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif;">Cry of the Ocean,</em><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica neue, helvetica, sans-serif;"> a blissed-out new album that will cement Stubb’s reputation amongst the higher hierarchy of heavy rock bands.</span><br /><br /><em>"For the dedicated music fan, hearing a great new album is rather akin to the feeling that a gourmet gets when introduced to a particularly tasty meal.

Ripple Music and Dallas, Texas-based riffers Mothership are excited to finally reveal the details of Mothership’s highly anticipated second release, Mothership II. After months of playing their new tunes to sweaty, ecstatic masses both in Europe and on across the United States, the trio is excited for fans to finally hear the album in its entirety. For the album art, the band chose good friend and incredibly talented artist Zach “EZ” Nelson (Instagram – @ezwheelin) to hand draw his version of the galactic Valkyrie who also appeared in another form on the cover of the band’s debut album. For the album’s engineering, Mothership returned to Kent Stump of Wo Fat, who also lent his magic to the group’s eponymous debut album, at Dallas’ Crystal Clear Studios. Mothership II will be released on single LP gatefold vinyl and on digipack CD.<br />

More on Mothership:<br />
<br />
Supersonic intergalactic heavy rock trio Mothership based out of Dallas, Texas give a real sense of hope that all is well in the universe, and that pure honest rock and roll has once again returned to this planet on a mission to unite true believers. Consisting of brothers Kyle Juett on bass/lead vocals, Kelley Juett on guitar/vocals, and Judge Smith on drums, these guys have created a unique sound that satisfies like a steaming hot stew of UFO and Iron Maiden, blended with the southern swagger of Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top, paired with a deadly chalice of Black Sabbath. Mothership’s goal from the beginning has been to carry on the tradition of the classic rock style of the ’70′s, updated and amped up for the modern day. The band has been non-stop road warriors since the release of their debut album in February 2013 on Ripple Music successfully invading the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe playing either on festival stages, night clubs, or outdoors under the sun at motorcycle parties.<br />
<br />
The band is set to release their sophomore album, Mothership II, in November 2014 on Ripple Music, and one can only expect more of the same unrelenting onslaught of heavy riffs, head-banging grooves, and mind-melting solos. This heavy rock juggernaut has only just begun their tear across the universal cosmos and have no plans of ever slowing down. Do not miss your chance to hop on board and join Mothership.<br />

The reissue will be released on limited edition black and colored vinyl as well as digitally via bandcamp.<br /><br /><strong>Release Dates:</strong><br />North America: Oct 14, 2014<br />Europe/UK: Oct 13, 2014<br /><br />Born of boredom and bourbon, WHITE DYNOMITE are considered gentlemen of experience and true Rock City pedigree. Featuring ex-members of ROADSAW, LAMONT and WRECKING CREW, this five man band has a shared love for all things loud, fast and loose. There's more to their story than just the suits.<br /><br />WHITE DYNOMITE call Boston home but their brand of action requires a map. Jump into their jalopy for a trip thru the streets of NYC with The Ramones and The Dictators blaring thru the deck. Then shoot across the pond to London for a holiday party with Slade and T.Rex. Get back behind the wheel and swerve left into Sweden thru Hellacopters and Turbonegro country. Make a quick stop in AC/DC's Aussie garage before bouncing down Detroit's back alleys with The Stooges and MC5 riding shotgun. WHITE DYNOMITE do it all in one night.<br /><br />Say what you will about the white polyester suits. Throw away the cheap shades. You can even make them bathe and shave. It won't matter. WHITE DYNOMITE have enough punk muscle and rock 'n' roll heart to deliver the dangerous goods loaded, rolling and exploding in a cloud of smoke. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif;">The name Ape Machine is a nod to the days of reel-to-reel magnetic tape audio recording; a fitting moniker for the heavy-hitting quartet as the band plays through vintage tube amplifiers and lays down its songs using exclusively throwback quality studio equipment. With a heady mix of animal aggression and technical precision, Ape Machine's music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard si<span class="text_exposed_show">nce the time of rock's glorious early years (or your Dad's bad ass record collection) infused with an exceptional modern sensibility. When the mystical lyrics of vocalist Caleb Heinze lock in with the band's stone-cold groove, Ape Machine demonstrates an earth-shaking ability to rock. A true four-piece, the group has been called "a rock and roll band with a finger on the pulse of the '70s and their asses firmly in the present" and "real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation" that delivers "true guts and glory rock and roll."<br /><br />Blending equal parts rock 'n’ roll, blues, stoner rock and psychedelia, Ape Machine is out to melt faces and pound the apathy out of otherwise jaded listeners with a wall of heavy rock n’ roll tones unheard since the days of bell bottoms, long hair and blaring tube amplifiers.<br /><br />Ape Machine's mission is to combine intense melody, cutting riffs and blistering live improvisation. Where many bands rely on meticulously rehearsed, just-like-the-record-parts, they provide a live experience that is as unique as each evening it shares with an audience.</span></span></span></div>

Burly, Texan doom rockers <strong>Las Cruces</strong> have signed to California’s <strong>Ripple Music</strong>
for a world-wide onslaught of heavy rock. The group, who just completed
a standout performance at the infamous Doom in June Festival, have
already started writing and making demos and will enter an undisclosed
studio this summer to record their Ripple Music debut and follow up to
2010's <em>Dusk</em>, which The Obelisk hailed as “something not to be missed by loyal doomers."<br />
<br />
Hailing from San Antonio, Texas, Las Cruces has spent the past several
years bludgeoning audiences with their doom-driven, precision sound.
Originated in 1994 by George Trevino, their influences range from Venom,
Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Fates Warning to vintage Sabbath. Las Cruces has
risen to the top of the South Texas metal heap and left its mark across
the Lone Star State, with a resume that includes opening slots with
such acts as Overkill, Nebula, Kyuss, Trouble, Spirit Caravan, Solitude
Aeturnus, Cathedral, Monster Magnet, Rob Zombie, Bio-Hazard, Pissing
Razors, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Eyehategod, Crowbar, Sixty Watt
Shaman, Vader, Kreator., Atomic Bitchwax, Gates of Slumber, Lo Pan,
Earthride, Pale Devine, Kamelot, Sour Vein, Weedeater and many others.<br />
<br />
Shortly after forming, Las Cruces began touring the Texas scene, gaining
widespread recognition and the interest of John Perez, guitarist of
Solitude Aeturnus & owner of Brainticket Records, thus forging the
Debut release,<em> S.O.L.</em> After a year of touring Texas and the
Southern States, Las Cruces decided to re-enter the studio. Driven by
the hunger and sharpness of old school metal along with the power
melodies of 70s rock, Las Cruces released their skull-crushing
follow-up, 1998's <em>Ringmaster</em>. Las Cruces was invited to perform
at the first-annual Stoner Hands of Doom Fest in August of 1999 and
have been asked to perform regularly at many heavy rock festivals in
North America ever since.<br />
<br />
Over the years Las Cruces has gone through line-up changes and rumors of
break-up. However, these things have not foiled the bands ideology.
The band was honored to be featured in <em>The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal</em> by author Daniel Bukszpan in 2003 as well as in the publication <em>Rockdetector Music Presents: Stoner, Doom and Gothic Metal</em> series published in 2003.<br />
<br />
Described as "a journey into a parallel sonic universe of all that is
heavy," their songs are sprinkled mighty, bludgeoning riffs;
barn-burning guitar work, and apocalyptic vocals that melt listener's
brains. Las Cruces is poised to begin the metal onslaught for the masses
as they prepare to record their fourth full-length album.<br />
<br />
"We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Ripple Music to unleash the
fourth Las Cruces record upon the underground," comments Trevino. "Many
of our friends and contemporaries have passed through the ranks and
we're thrilled to march onward into the streets with them at our side."<br />
<br />
In addition to George Trevino on guitar, Las Cruces features Mando Tovar
- Lead Guitar, Paul De Leon - Drums and vocals, and Jimmy Bell - Bass
Guitar<br />
<br />
Las Cruces is available to speak with interested media now. To chat with the band, contact <strong><a href="mailto:southernxpr@gmail.com">southernxpr@gmail.com</a>.</strong><br />
<br />
<em>“</em>Dusk<em> is rudely riffer’s doom. I hesitate, though, to call
Las Cruces traditional doom. Guitarists George Trevino and Mando Tovar
know their Sabbath, but there’s a grittier, more uniquely American
thrust to their tones that feels more in line with modern biker metal.
There are souls being burned, Christians being slaughtered and no
shortage of blood being spilled otherwise.”</em> -- The Obelisk<br />
<br />
<em>“</em>Dusk<em> is a welcome return from Las Cruces. This is another
album that will be high up on peoples list for best albums for 2010 so
you will want to check it out as soon as possible. 9/10”</em> -- Doommantia<br />

Over the last few years, <strong>Ripple Music</strong> and <strong>STB Records</strong>
had established hefty reputations as leaders in the heavy rock scene;
blasting out killer albums of stoner, doom, heavy psych and sludge.
Both Labels have run up an impressive list of sold-out and highly sought
after releases, such as Mothership, Mos Generator, Ape Machine, Poobah,
Brimstone Coven, Doctor Doom, Dopethrone and Druglord. Yet, deep down,
both labels always hoped they could do more to help the underground
scene reach a great audience.<br />
<br />
Now that hope is a reality.<br />
<br />
As of June 2014, Ripple Music and STB Records have forged a relationship
that will expand upon the top-notch, limited releases by STB Records
with a full complement of Digipack CD’s and Digital distribution via
Ripple Music. Both companies remain separate entities, each with their
own roster of heavy-rocking bands, release schedules, and A&R, but
the partnership allows the DIY Labels to work more closely together to
get the music out to a world-wide fanbase that is clamoring for more.<br />
<br />
In a very short period of time, STB Records had carved a place for
itself with its boutique style deluxe, limited-edition vinyl
releases. Die-hard editions, OBI editions, and multi-colored vinyl had
heavy music fans salivating. Most STB releases sell out in a manner of
hours and already command top dollar on the resale collectors market
like Dopethrone, Spelljammer, Ancient Warlocks and Brimstone Coven.
Ripple Music established its reputation as a leading force in the
resurrection of heavy rock with its keen ear for talent and partnership
approach with its bands that led to a string of best-selling releases by
Mothership, Mos Generator, Stone Axe, Ape Machine, Devil to Pay and
Grifter as well as some highly regarded reissues of classic '70s albums
and new releases by protometal giants like Leaf Hound, Poobah, JPT Scare
Band and Iron Claw. Ripple Music established a world-wide network of
physical and digital distribution that it will employ to spread the CD
and digital versions of STB artists around the globe.<br />
<br />
“I’m a firm believer of cooperation amongst labels, not competition,”
comments Ripple Music CEO Todd Severin.The goal is to get the music
heard. Get it out there. Help the bands. By working together in this
capacity, Ripple Music and STB Records can make a huge impact.”<br />
<br />
STB Records President, Steve Macioci agrees. “I think it’s only right
that people with the same values and ethos work together for the common
good. There is a DIY renaissance happening in the underground stoner
rock/doom scene right now, STB and Ripple are right there at the
forefront setting the plate for these amazing artists to be heard and
discovered. We are carving a path for this new resurgence and its 100%
DIY for music lovers by music lovers, untainted by greed or ego. It’s so
exciting."<br />
<br />
The first joint Ripple Music/STB release will be the CD and digital
versions of STB’s immediate sold-out release by Ancient Warlocks, with
more joint ventures to follow with the new Geezer album.<br />
<br />

RIPPLE MUSIC is proud to announce the signing of acclaimed,
hard-hitting acid biker heavy rockers, SPACE PROBE TAURUS to their
ever-expanding roster!<br />
<br />
SPACE PROBE TAURUS has been around in one form or another since 1992,
but it wasn’t until a name change and shortening of the songs in 1997
that the band settled down into doing what they still do today:
preaching the gospel of dirty garage rock Swedish style. Their music
has been called Biker Movie Acid Fuzz and that sums it up as well as
anything we could say!<br />
<br />
Since the release of the Blue Cheer tribute CD “Blue Explosion”, by
Black Widow Records, the band has been part of many compilations. And
the year after saw the release of their first own record, the “Insect
City” EP on Game Two/Slowdive Records. The band has also been involved
deeply in the American low budget movie scene, first providing a song
for the “I Am Vengeance” soundtrack (released by Meteor City Records in
2001), then having 12 songs in the movie “Actress Apocalypse”. Upcoming
in 2014 is the movie “Franklin” which will include yet another song (a
demo version of the song “Mondo Satan”).<br />
<br />
In 2008 it was time for the first album, a self-titled debut released
by the Belgian label Buzzville Records, which got good reviews all over
the world.<br />
<br />
Since the release of the album the band has kept writing new
material, played live and kept recording new demos. In 2012 the general
feeling was that a new album needed to be done, and after a long process
of deciding on the songs the band started to record, what would become,
the album “Mondo Satan”.<br />
<br />
On “Mondo Satan” SPT are:<br />
<br />
Sjöberg – vocals, guitars<br />
Tömte – guitars, backing vocals<br />
Enberg – bass, backing vocals<br />
Boman – drums<br />
<br />
<strong>Mondo Satan tracklist:</strong><br />
1. Scorpio Queen<br />
2. Kill City Death Cult<br />
3. Spahn Ranch Motherfucker<br />
4. Make Me Bleed<br />
<br />
5. Galaxy Travelin’ Blues<br />
6. Superfuzzed<br />
7. Mondo Satan<br />
8. Dust Joint<br />
9. The Iguana<br />
10. The Righteous One<br />
<br />
For the growing ranks of Ripple fans, known as the Waveriders, Space
Probe Taurus will be another must-hear addition to the ranks of bands
that already include such heavy rockers as Volume IV, Devil to Pay,
Mothership, and Ape Machine.<br />
<br />
“Coming from our favorite musical Mecca of Sweden, and signed to
Buzzville Records, the SPT boys ask one simple question, how much fuzz
can you take in your rock? Ramrodding their beastly songs right down
your throat, SPT are some ungodly mix of Stooges energy, MC5 attitude,
Mudhoney riffs and enough fuzz pedals to fill a fleet of 18 wheelers,
this is Steppenwolf for the new millennium, maxed out, fuzzed out garage
rock for the open highways.. ”<br />
<i>— The Ripple Effect</i><br />
<br />
“Taken on its own terms this album is a bit of a speedball classic.
Each track bristles with an energy and excitement that so much “stoner”
rock fails to match these days. In fact this is a relentless and
remorseless assault from start to finish, each song hitting a peak flow
of amphetamine fuelled grit. The only respite here are the brief pauses
between songs to catch your breath before the next wave of rock and roll
mentalism breaks overhead.” <i>–The Sleeping Shaman</i>The Ripple Effecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15562244432603113694noreply@blogger.com0
