Earth Tongue is a heavy psych rock two-piece from Wellington, New Zealand. Their debut album Floating Being (Stolen Body Records, 2019) quickly became an underground hit, seeing them embark on multiple tours across Australasia and Europe in the years since its release. Along the way they’ve picked up high praise from BBC Radio6, Bandcamp and headbangers all over the world.
DAEVAR are here to shake up the stoner/doom-metal scene with a menacing lo-fi sound and a fresh set ideals. This young trio from Cologne serve up moody anthems inspired by what really happens in the world, rather than singing about the sweetness of the leaf or spreading eternal gloom.
Earth Tongue
Earth Tongue is a heavy psych rock two-piece from Wellington, New Zealand. Guitarist Gussie Larkin is a master of the fuzz-smothered riff , and along with Ezra Simons’ off -kilter drumming, they’ve been sending punters into transcendental states since their emergence in 2016. Their debut album Floating Being (Stolen Body Records, 2019) quickly became an underground hit, seeing them embark on multiple tours across Australasia and Europe in the years since its release. Along the way they’ve picked up high praise from BBC Radio6, Bandcamp and headbangers all over the world.
After touring with American multi-instrumentalist Ty Segall, the duo caught the attention of iconic Los Angeles based rock' n' roll label In The Red Records - an imprint that has released albums from the likes of Thee Oh Sees, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Wand and Ty Segall himself. In The Red promptly signed them, and released their second album Great Haunting in June 2024. Written during the pandemic lockdown era while holed up binging on 1970’s and 80’s horror movies, the nine-track album is a doom-soaked overload — conjuring vast sonics from just guitar, drums and yowls.
Earth Tongue have hit the road time and time again, playing over 50 shows throughout Europe and the UK in 2024 and sharing stages with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, IDLES, Ty Segall, Acid King, Brant Bjork and Kikagaku Moyo. Earth Tongue’s live show is a powerful, cult-like experience - the perfect mix of throw-your-horns-up heavy, and can’t-stop-listening catchy. Their third studio album is set for release in September 2025.

DAEVAR
DAEVAR are here to shake up the stoner/doom-metal scene with a menacing lo-fi sound and a fresh set ideals. Daevar are Pardis (bass, vocals), Caspar (guitars) and Moritz (drums) and this young trio from Cologne serve up moody anthems inspired by what really happens in the world, rather than singing about the sweetness of the leaf or spreading eternal gloom.
Coming right off the back of their sold-out debut album, doom grunge trio Daevar show no signs of slowing down with their sophomore album Amber Eyes in 2024. Combining the melody-oriented songwriting and swaying rhythms of grunge with the mysticism and languid heaviness of stoner doom, the trio combine the best of both worlds to craft a mesmerising quarter hour of music.
Their Debut Album Delirious Rites was lauded by Metal Hammer for its mature songwriting and was marked by a carefully crafted lo-fi dynamic. With Amber Eyes Daevar switch things up, recasting Nirvana’s trademark loud-quiet dynamics in slow-burning soundscapes and blistering guitar solos.
Marked by swaying rhythms and punchy riffs, as well as sultry vocals and blistering guitar solos, Amber Eyes is another rare exercise in slow and moody from the doom grunge trio from Cologne. Produced once more by Jan Oberg at his Hidden Planet Studio. Just once diving under the six minute mark, these songs take their time to entrance and beguile, slowly dragging you in to their world of Teheran by way of Berlin and Seattle.
