In all honesty, I swear that this album will swing all parts of your body in ways that you have never imagined! Drenched in the blues of the American South, while it winks at the songwriting ingenuity of Era Vulgaris QOTSA, the latest album of Gros Mene consists of twelve songs that flow smoothly with an elegant swagger that will have you begging for more!

The Doom Charts have spoken again and the Peroration List for February 2023 is up! Here is a list of 27 killer albums that barely didn’t make the February Charts by the skin of their teeth. Some personal favourites are the stellar session of An Evening With Knives, the new albums by Dead Blonde Stars and Grandma’s Ashes (if you miss the 90s, check them out today). I also wrote a small blurb for the new album by TEKSTI-TV 666, which I ‘m sure you wanna check out pronto, so here you go!
TEKSTI-TV 666 – VAPAUDEN TASAVALTA
Krautrock, Garage, Psych
Helsinki, Finland
Svart Records
Explosive garage psych of the highest order with a punk rock attitude and an energy that grabs you by the throat. This could have been the brainchild of Uffo Lorenzen (Baby Woodrose) and Dave Wyndorf (Monster Magnet). All songs are one better than the other, and this is a very rare quality for any album really. Especially “TJ” is a masterpiece of how modern prog psych should sound. Have no doubt that this album will have you listen again and again, brilliant stuff!

Buckle up and have a read below to find out why!
