Dopethrone - Demonsmoke (2009)

Luckily for Dopethrone this is no originality contest, they wouldn't score very high on that chart. But what they do here, is very good in it's own right. Hazy, weed-crazy riffing, a few samples here and there, the fat wall of sound, the muffled drums, bile-filled vocals, and oh yeah, did I mention that groovy, old-school riffing yet? Eight pretty short and varied songs on this disc, spanning a bit over 30 minutes. Hope they will keep going, this being their first release, they can improve and become quite a monolith in the future. Keep an eye out on their MySpace. For more album info, again, check here.

Semtex - Pot secret (2009)

This is the Finnish alternative for Bongzilla, and damn, this is tasty and green sludge all the way! The EP features five gritty and groovy tracks, with a playing time of thirty and some minutes. I decided to post this one because of their upcoming concert at the "Psychotropic caravan II"-festival. Comes extremely recommended for those smoking sessions, remember to turn the bass up loud!
