SINGLE PREMIERE 

Erosions - Homegrown

As announced on Monday... Yesterday... That wild and freaky Single Premiere! Straight from the Psalm / Erosions split album soon to be released, it's the track Homegrown by Erosions! And this isn't just a simple split album, or a simple single... It's the second single for the very first release on that new and crazy Space Goat Records! 

Space Goat Records is the new label on the block. Spearheaded by the one and only Jason Doome of Grand Rapids Doomfest and Sean Brooks of The Heavy Underground Farm Report and HUFR FEST. Two good ol’ boys running a sick new heavy underground label… Stoned, ripped, twisted… Good people!

With one hell of a mission statement:

“Space Goat Records is an independent heavy underground label dedicated to limited-edition split vinyl releases. Premium packaging, collector-quality pressings, and unforgettable riffs unite exceptional bands from the doom, stoner, sludge, and psychedelic underground—one exclusive release at a time.”

And their first Split album, is this one... The one by Psalm and Erosions... And we're honored to premiere for you all the new single: Homegrown. 

Trashy, punky, grimy, gritty... It's all that and more... But most importantly, are you a NBPS? A Natural Born Pot Smoker? If so, you know this kind of energy as it flows through your veins... Homegrown takes its sweet time getting where it’s going, settling into an eight minute haze of rolling riffs, fuzz and slow-burning groove. Erosions lean hard into the weed-soaked reverie of the track, letting the guitars wander before dragging the song back into its central riff... There’s something almost ritualistic in the repetition, a smoky almost spooky sound that grows thicker and more unruly as it moves along. By the time the final stretch arrives, the groove has swollen into beautifully billowing smoke, leaving Homegrown hanging in and drifting through the air like the last hit of bong exhaled in a dark room...

Primitive scuzz rock from Illinois and trad stoner doom from Las Vegas

Split LP out October 31st, 2026 on Space Goat Records

Psalm single "Pain" out now

Erosions single "Homegrown" out September 30th (Private stream)

Genres: Fuzz Rock • Stoner • Doom • Grunge


This Halloween, the inaugural release from Space Goat Records brings two bands from separate corners of the heavy underground together for six total tracks and one monster of a split LP.

From Freeport, Illinois, fuzzed out trio Erosions bring their beefy brand of raucous, groovy scuzz rock, picking up the torch lit by stoner greats of old and dousing it in beer and gasoline. On the other side of the coin are Las Vegas doom dealers Psalm, armed with dour melodies, soaring vocals, and grunge-fueled crunch. A labor of love by all parties, Erosions and Psalm are honored to the lead the charge for Space Goat.


Born from the heavy underground community it lives and breathes, Space Goat Records is the fully baked brainchild of two of the scene’s biggest fans. Sean Brooks, of Denver’s HUFR FEST and the Heavy Underground Farm Report, and Jason Doome of Grand Rapids Doom Fest, bonded over their mutual love for heavy music and the bands and people who make it.

SPACE GOAT RECORDS

The label's goal is to continue specializing in limited-edition split records featuring bands from the heavy underground, with an emphasis on high-quality vinyl, unique artwork, premium packaging, and releases designed to be collectible rather than mass-produced.

Space Goat Records plans to work with bands from across the United States and internationally, connecting different regional scenes through carefully curated split releases.

The label is particularly interested in doom, stoner rock, sludge, psychedelic rock, heavy psych, desert rock, and other riff-driven forms of underground music.

The ultimate goal is to build a catalog where every release feels like an event and every record tells a story.
        

Sean: “We didn't want Space Goat Records to be another label that simply puts out records. We wanted to create something that felt connected to the heavy underground — the bands, the festivals, the fans, and the people who are still excited about actually owning music.

Erosions and Psalm were the perfect bands to launch the label with. They're coming from completely different parts of the country and have their own distinct sounds, but both bands represent the energy and authenticity we're looking for.”

Psalm

Jason: “Where would I like to see SGR go in the future? Into as many hands of music lovers as possible. That’s it. I want everyone to hear these bands because we believe in them so much we’re willing to put out a physical album to tell you about it. There’s no better feeling in the world than to turn someone onto new music that they’ve never heard and they dig it! Bringing the best bands the Heavy Underground has to offer to you the fans. That is and always will be our goal."

WHAT'S NEXT

Erosions aren't slowing down anytime soon. The Freeport, Illinois trio is planning a mini-tour built around HUFR FEST, including an appearance at Tampa Doom and Gloom Fest, while also heading back into the studio to record several new songs. The band is looking forward to expanding its reach beyond the Midwest, playing new cities, and continuing to bring its fuzzy, scuzzy, primitive rock to the road.

Erosions

Las Vegas doom trio Psalm has plenty in the works, including a full-length album in addition to the Erosions / Psalm split. The band plans to hit the road and play as many out-of-state shows and festivals as possible, with updated merch on the way. Vinyl releases of both the Erosions / Psalm split and 2025 EP In Darkness Have Mercy are also in the works. Psalm is actively open to festival opportunities, so promoters—get in touch!

Morning! I hope you all had a great week and an even better one will follow. It was a hectic one, but the ending was beautiful. Off into the Dutch wildlands to listen to deer in rut and watching them burl. We also came across a pack of five wolves as an absolute bonus. Amazing times! This week, back into the chaos! We look forward to presenting to you all another Premiere. And we hope to finish another few reviews we’ve been working on… 

Last week we still managed to mention that amazing Gods & Punks album that has had us hooked for ages and the amazing new Saturna album. Great albums and I think we can manage to put up a post or two more this week… Let’s see what happens! 

Saturna – Light and Shadow
Spinda Records / Ripple Music / Discos Macarras – 2026 
Rock, Prog, Psych, Seventies
Rated: ****

I still spin The Elven’s Solstice album religiously and the Shine single whenever I’m struggling with life, emotions or hardship. It always helps. A lot. And two parts of The Elven project are of course also members of Saturna. And on their new Light and Shadow album, you can definitely hear some of those The Elven sonics rubbed off, in the absolutely right way…

So, learning how much we love The Elven and Saturna’s 2023 album The Reset, we naturally could not let their new Light and Shadow pass by without a few of our silly words. Cause the Barcelona quartet returns with a thirteen songs and forty-six minutes of warm, heavy, soulful rock. They’ve turned the lights down and the amplifiers up! It’s radiant and glowing!

The opening track Unheard shoots in with a mighty charge, guitars blazing while the melody keeps the fire under control. Following Falling Apart shoves us back into Saturna territory. The title track follows, a glorious Sabbath-shaped beast, bluesy, heavy and carrying that magic of riffs that sound like they’ve been waiting for fifty years to finally be played.. 

But Saturna isn’t just about the riffs of yore or the golden age of heavy rock. Absence has those beautiful harmonies you love from Saturna, intertwined with acoustic and electric guitars. While following About You strips everything down to its wooden bones, once again showing off the The Elven colors. But the rhythmic groove does not lay dormant for long, as following So Long makes clear. Seventies rock, proto metal, motoring and an easy rider if ever there was one… 

Heavy progressive blues without enough psychedelic touches to make it uplifting when needed or burrowing down and heading for the dark when called for. Indeed, all sides have their moment and their time. Light and Shadow feels like they’re filtering sunlight through an old amplifier, warm, dusty, soulful and alive. Saturna honor the past without becoming its prisoners. They take the old flames, add their own oxygen, and let them burn brightly once again. And even the shadows cast, feel glowing and radiant!

Gods & Punks – A Shrine By The Sea
Electric Valley Records – 2026
Psych, Doom, Stoner, Prog
Rated: ****

They hail from Brazil and with their 2021 album The Sounds Of The Universe they had me hook, groove and riffs. Since then two EP’s and the Death album followed, which we are ashamed to admit we never got around to mentioning on the HiVe. But in all honesty, we should have mentioned all of the Gods & Punks releases since they started back in 2017…

But we’re here now and we’ve been living with their new one A Shrine By The Sea for quite some time now. As of May, when the promo arrived as a 10 track digital album. And then again as the vinyl two-track it is meant to be. Two tracks, both 21 minutes and 12 seconds long. That’s right: 2112. I’ll let you make the connection. And as that connection might feel deep. The album will make it all feel even more so.. 

A Shrine By The Sea feels like a majestic voyage into the heavy music’s deeper waters. The two sprawling compositions sees the Brazilian quartet navigate beautifully between crushing doom, lysergic psychedelia, stoner haze and some progressive intricacy, without ever staying anchored for long. Riffs rise high like majestically dark swells, before slowly dissolving into drifting guitar passages, ghostlike vocals, acoustic calm and waves of seventies touched organ…

The Lighthouse. Draws you in, and crashes ashore with Sabbathian weight, stormy, dramatic. A restless, tidal fury flows within. Hypnotic and wonderfully unpredictable, The Lighthouse is all that heavy psych turned to an oceanic pilgrimage. 

Poseidon on the other hand is allowed to drift more. Patient and psychedelic, it begins in spacious waters before gathering its force through hypnotic riffs, shimmering guitar, organ swells and restless progressive turns. There’s a sense of something vast slowly awakening beneath the surface. Strange, fluid and immersive this slower, stranger current is what carries Gods & Punks  into deeper waters. And as those final harmonies fade away, the voices carried away with the tide, you will feel at peace again… 

Yet for all its ambition, nothing feels excessive. Nothing feels overdone and all is measured and delivered with prime execution. Every shift in volume, texture and tempo serves the journey. The result is atmospheric by default, and absolutely progressive, without losing any of its primal heft. It’s allowed to drift and spin, but never becomes weightless. It’s Gods & Punks  and the sea, it’s the sound of the sea forever in the background, it’s the sound forever in your mind. A Shrine By The Sea is a stunning, immersive and beautifully strange trip into deep unknown…

We know. It’s Tuesday evening already… Well, sometimes stuff just gets in the way or things move to mess up the rest of the agenda. But still, we’re always happy to move stuff around so we can talk to Troy van Leeuwen and about everything involving the new album Perfecth! Of course, that interview has now a fast approaching deadline, and we have a little trip coming up. So, there will be little time to HiVe… Just like last week… But will return with a vengeance soon! And make up for all lost HiVe time… I can feel it in my bones! 

But still, we did do that wild Full Album Premiere for the wild Allume – Ex-Luto album! Wow, what a great smash ‘n grab album that is. We also mentioned the new 30,000 Monkies. And of course, if you have enough time, you can still go back and read the wild chat we had Phantom Logic! Or check out the albums above, some are out, some only singles and some will be released very soon! Stay tuned, and keep listening to all those cool tunes…
