Here is a list of albums, EPs and songs to check out, that we haven't had time to fully review
Samsara Blues Experiment
"End Of Forever"
Released: Dec 2020
The experiment has lasted for five albums, and the range of styles has spanned psychedelia, stoner, doom, heavy metal and now, with their self-confessed last ever album, they incorporate space-rock (Hawkwind-style) into their blues. An amazing album from one of Germany's legendary rock bands.
Primitive Ignorant
"Sikh Punk"
Released: 23rd October 2020
The former bassist from Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Symran Gharial, returns with his solo project Primitive Ignorant. His first album "Sikh Punk" is very bass heavy, with big beats and deep vibes, with a variety of vocal collaborations that keep this album interesting and fresh.
Dirty Sound Magnet
"Live Alert"
Released: 6th November 2020
A "Live Alert" album from the Swiss rockers, Dirty Sound Magnet, that gives a brilliant new dimension to some of their best album tracks. The band pride themselves on their live performances, always putting on an action-packed show, full of solos and funky grooves, that are wonderfully demonstrated in this collection.
Kyning
"An"
Released: 9th April 2021
A massive-feeling album of epic tracks, some stirring riffs, accomplished vocals and touches of dark metal doom that demands a close listen.
