Kaiser To Release Awesome Album "1st Sound" On May 25

Otu: Guitar & Vox / RiQ: Drums / Pex: Bass


Awesome fuckin' northern heavy stoner rock from Helsinki, Finland!!

It was late summer of 2013, Otu and RiQ met on the web and quickly discovered that their music interests were the same. Wasting no time, they formed a band, this machine called Kaiser. Their initial session showed that their chemistry was more than right, it was supreme. They recruited Pex, who had played bass in the same band as RiQ in the past.

The rest is history.... and the future is open....

The band worked with legendary producer Hiili "Carbon" Hiilesmaa on "1st Sound", most notable for his work with fellow Hellsinki rock legends HIM. The result is a crushingly heavy, super tight and melodic stoner rock album that is sure to hit home with fans of Kyuss, High on Fire, The Sword and Red Fang.

Oak Island Records are proud to bring the fuzzed-out, riff fuelled energy of Kaiser to Vinyl and CD this May.

The Hazytones Announce Huge 2018 Winter Tour + Awesome S/T Debut Album Available As Limited Edition Vinyl

Mick Martel: Vocals/Guitar, Adam Gilbert: Bass/Vocals, Ulrick La Mast: Drums, Photo Credit: Brooke Dee


The Hazytones, a three piece band from Montreal have, since their 2015 inception, been kicking some serious ass around the live circuits of their Canadian home turf. The Hazytones jam a groove of hard and stoner rock blended with touches of bluesy psych that has a distinct but not overpowering retro feel, a feel perfect for an underground scene dominated by bands looking backwards towards the hard rock of the 70's. Scorching guitar solos and fuzz drenched crunching power chords, vocals, clean, clear and powerful, big burly bass lines, a dazzling display of power and finesse ... the three musicians combining to create grooves that can be heavy and face melting one minute and laid back and lysergic the next.


The Hazytones have just announced a huge US winter tour - their first ever - spanning with width of the US and including dates in Mexico and Canada. Please see the above flyer for a full list of dates.


"The Hazytones" is an album that could as easily find its way onto the playlist of an avid 70's hard rock collector as it could that of the most discerning stoner/psych/doom fan. From the Sabbath-esque opener "Light Of The Day", with it's familiar vocal melody (Sabbath's "Hole In The Sky") and catchy guitar riff, through to the Swedish retro-like grooves of final track "Moonstruck" there is a feeling of the past and the present coming together to create something totally new yet oddly recognizable.

Pale Grey Lore's S/T Awesome Debut Album Released On Limited Edition Vinyl

Adam Miller: Drums, Donovan Johnson: Bass, Michael Miller: Guitar/Vocals, Xander Roseberry: Guitar/Backing Vocals


Utilizing lyrical themes and imagery drawn from science fiction, fantasy, and cosmic horror, Columbus Ohio's Pale Grey Lore create heavy, fuzzed-out rock and roll that is spacey and psychedelic, yet focused and concise. Melodic vocals and tasteful harmonies echo alongside thunderous drums, while fuzz-drenched reverberating guitars push demon-haunted vintage amplifiers to the brink.

Originally released on CD and digital download in June of 2016, Pale Grey Lore's self-titled debut album is now released on vinyl via German label Kozmik Artifactz's imprint Oak Island Records. Conceived as a series of surreal vignettes, each track depicts allegorical scenes from a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world in which the lines between science and the occult, technology and superstition, are hopelessly blurred. Spanning the genres of psych rock, doom metal, post-punk and drone pop, the album's nine tracks are refreshingly diverse, yet part of a remarkably coherent whole that adds up to much more than the sum of its parts.

The band says: "People have been comparing us to Uncle Acid and The Black Angels, and we couldn't be happier with those comparisons!"
