MAKE

Southern sludge/post-metal outfit Make are back after a 10-year absence and they’re back at playing weight, retooling and expanding their lineup for their fourth album, Exegesis at the End of Time. Arriving a decade after the last Make album, Exegesis sees new members John Crouch (drums) and Aaron Smithers (bass/synth/vocals) join the core duo of Scott Endres (guitar, vocals) and Spencer Lee (bass, guitar, vocals).
The songs on Exegesis at the End of Time feel larger and more monumental than anything Make have crafted before, taking the highs of their last release (2016’s Pilgrimage of Loathing) and expanding them into larger, more flowing compositions. There are traces of Neurosis and Isis throughout Exegesis, plus influence from Rosetta, Rwake and their ilk.

INSOMNIAC
Adrift between this world and the next, INSOMNIAC release themselves into the ether, spilling transportingly heavy brilliance in their wake. Like a third eye opening into the beyond, the transcendent, mind-expanding psych-doom of their debut album illuminates the strange beauty between unconsciousness and dreams.
The band took form in Atlanta, Georgia, like-minded explorers of sound and mind writing songs in the frequency of the earth. Featuring members of Deceased, Brass Knuckle Surfer, and The Buzzards of Fuzz, the outfit's transcendent, mind-expanding psychedelic heaviness casts light on the magic and strange beauty, balanced between unconsciousness and dreams.
Out now via Blues Funeral Recordings, the band’s debut record, “OM MOKSHA RITAM” or “Liberation through merging with the Universal Rhythm”, is a concept album guiding the listener through an aural and spiritual journey across multiple extreme environments that test their resolve, principles, and commitment to adhering to the path.

EVIL EYE

Formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in late 2023, Evil Eye is a powerhouse trio of heavy, fuzzed-out rock & roll owing to the likes of Grand Funk Railroad, Mountain, and naturally, Black Sabbath. Their debut album, Wizard War I is a love letter to heavy rock from the 1970s spanning territory from flat-out motorcycle rock to laid-back stoner grooves.
