Electric Hydra
Staden Uddevalla har inte i mina ögon varit någon större producent av rockmusik. Trots att man är gammal varvs- och industristad, vilket annars brukar vara bra grogrund för musikliv. Men ungdomen där kanske förstört sina liv genom idrotten i stället, vad vet jag? Men nu med fyndet av Electric Hydra, kan vi kanske kan få bukt med det hela. Här pratar vi riktig kvalitetstoner som jag hoppas få höra mer av. Bandet är dessutom så vitt jag kan se osignade, så först till kvarn alla ni bolag därute.
Vokonis
Vokonis har figurerat här tidigare, när jag recenserade deras tidigare platta Olde One Acending. Då gnällde jag lite på att jag tyckte att sången blev en smula enformig till annars bra musik. Men se det har bandet börjat ändra på sedan dess. Redan på efterföljande The Sunken Djinn började transformeringen för att ta ännu ett steg nu på senaste Grasping Time. Grym platta och ett grymt omslag som tyvärr inte verkar komma med i Bandcamp inbäddingen.
The Black Wizards
Från Portugal kommer The Black Wizards. Jag har hittills bara hört denna enda låt "Imposing Sun" från nya plattan, Reflections, men jäklar vilket drag. Det sammantaget med deras äldre material cementerar min övertygelse att plattan som släpps i slutet av Augusti kommer att vara helgrym.
Sky Valley Mistress
Engelska Sky Valley Mistress förekom redan 2017 i nr.22 av Grand Delux listan. Den låten som figurerade då finns tyvärr inte kvar för lyssning på Bandcamp.
Men vad gör väl det när man nu varit iväg till Kaliforniaöknen och spelat in vansinnigt bra låtar i Rancho de la Luna studion under Dave Catchings (Eagles Of DeathMetal) överseende. Hoppas bara att man har mer i bagaget och att det kommer mer snart, Mycket mer och väldigt snart....
In Swenglish:
Imagine how good it is with vacations. Even if it's raining outside doesn't matter, because then you can enjoy a moment at the computer looking for some new nice Rock n Roll.
Electric Hydra
The city of Uddevalla, Sweden, has never been a major producer of rock music in my eyes. Although it's an old shiping/warf- and industrial city, which otherwise would be a good breeding ground for music life. But maybe the youth where destroying their lives through sports instead, what do I know? But now with the finding of Electric Hydra, I may be able to overcome that notion.

Here we talk about real quality tunes that I hope to hear more of. Furthermore, the band is as far as I can see unsigned, so something for all of you earlybird recordcompanies out there.
Vokonis
Vokonis has been featured here earlier when I reviewed their previous album Olde One Acending. Then I nagged a little about that I thought the singing became a little monotonous to otherwise good music. But watch and behold, the band has started to change that since then. Already on the following album The Sunken Djinn they began the transformation, to take yet another step now with the latest release Grasping Time. Wicked album and a with a cruel cover that unfortunately do not appear in the Bandcamp embedding.
The Black Wizards
From Portugal hails The Black Wizards. So far I've only heard this single song "Imposing Sun" from the coming album, Reflections, but damn what a good song it is. All in all, with that and their older material, my conviction is cemented in that the upcoming album that will be released at the end of August will be a real killeralbum.
Sky Valley Mistress
English Sky Valley Mistress was featured here already in 2017 in No. 22 of the Grand Delux list. Unfortunately, the song that was featured doesn't exist for listening on Bandcamp anymore.
But what does that matter when they have now gone to the California desert and recorded insanely good songs in the Rancho de la Luna studio under Dave Catching's (Eagles Of DeathMetal) watchfull eyes. I Just hope that they have more of that in their luggage and that it will come soon, Much more and as soon as possible....
