The Italian underground powerhouse label Argonauta Records is known and loved for their extraordinary signings and eclectic artist roster in within the stoner, doom, sludge and heavy music scene, and today they welcomed another very special, and definitely unique act to the Argonauta family: Hailing from the Indonesia Java Island, psych doom and stoner boogie rock act Mud Spencer has inked a worldwide deal with the record label!

Eclipse Records is excited to announce the signing of The Stone Eye to an exclusive worldwide deal! The band is a progressive stoner-sludge rock band from Philadelphia (USA) that combines uniquely glorious weirdness with clever musicianship.

The Stone Eye was formed in 2014 and they are currently getting ready to release their sixth full-length album “South of the Sun” on October 15th, 2021, via Eclipse Records.
 

Noise-laden dark ambient project Supervøid (with Eraldo Bernocchi, Xabier Iriondo, Jacopo Pierazzuoli and Jo Quail) will release their mind-boggling debut album “The Giant Nothing” on May 7th, 2021, via Subsound Records, and unveil a first single entitled “The Acceleration of the Universe” on Bandcamp today. Listen to the new single below.

Coming on April 3rd, on Subsound Records, “Macello” the brand new upcoming full length album by Italy’s Heavy Rock / Sludge duo Zolle, is a nutty piece of loudness, blending a Torche-like sound and rousing stadium dynamics à la AC/DC.

The fourth record of the Italian duo Zolle symbolizes the human condition of living in ambivalence, contradiction and paradox - It’s certainly a convivial record, but it’s also a bit poisoned and sometimes it simply makes you dream.

West Coast desert doom trio Atala will release their “The Bearer of Light” full-length via Salt Of The Earth Records on May 21st, 2019.
 
Returning to their DIY ethos, the seven-track desert voyage was captured and self-produced in just five days at Gatos Trail in Joshua Tree with engineer Jeff Thomas. “It’s a true roller coaster of emotions: sad, angry, confused, lost... but, you can’t help but feel hope as you follow the journey”, notes founding guitarist Kyle Stratton.

Montréal trio Lungbutter serves up an exhilarating and relentless barrage of astringent noise-punk, at times refracted variously through sludge rock and slowcore.

Kaity Zozula’s tri-amped guitar squall occupies a huge tonal space from low-end bass to paint-peeling treble, redolent of blown-out Melvins/Flipper fuzz and indebted to the frenetic dissonance of Keiji Haino or Merzbow.
