From the ashes of the German stoner-doom-pioneers Calamus, shouter Ralph and drummer Adrian formed the band Hellamor in 2004, joined by guitarist Nino. Since the inception Hellamor have recorded five demos that offer a mixture of hard’n’heavy rock that is both original and idiosyncratic. The German online magazine Metalglory aptly called it "an intersection consisting of doomy Black Sabbath elements, robust rock elements, riff volleys of the Black Label Society category and psychedelic 70s rock style parts". No objection here. Since 2013 the lineup has been stable. Klaus joined Hellamor after hitting the deep notes with Frankfurt metal band Rawboned. Hellamor entered the recording studio in 2016 to nail their first demo in the new line up. F.T.W. is raw, unpolished, with fat riffs, more metallic than before but still retaining the treasured trademarks such as psychedelic guitar sounds, delicate bass lines, melodic choruses and drums rich in diversity. In the summer of 2020, amid the corona pandemic, pandemonium once again broke out in the recording studio: Hellamor put together four new songs for the EP High Volume Rituals, slower, heavier and deeper than ever. And the band plays on...
Red Stone Chapel was formed in late 2009, ever since creating a southern-influenced stoner rock, combining it with a heavy dose of the sludge, blues, progressive as well as classic rock and spoken word. Definitely a Must and highly recommended for fans of bands alike The Midnight Ghost Train! After years of making music for the sake of making music, the band added a third guitar, and got to work on their first album. Red Stone Chapel’s debut Omega Boombox was released in the Fall of 2019 through Argonauta Records.
