The Ripple Effect
New Orleans stoner metal trio SUPLECS (with former EyeHateGod) to issue new album "Hymns Under A Blood Moon Sky" on Ripple Music; first single streaming!
New Orleans stoner rock veterans SUPLECS announce their great return with the release of their first studio album in over a decade, "Hymns Under A Blood Moon Sky", this February 20th through Ripple Music and stream the first single "No Apologies" today!
Get a full shot of adrenaline with new single No Apologies
The album’s genesis took place in a hallowed Mid-City rehearsal space; the same warehouse that incubated the foundational New Orleans sludge of Crowbar or Graveyard Rodeo and echoed with the grooves of The Meters. Drawing inspiration from this legacy, Suplecs started crafting new material before being forced out by complaints of noise — an ironic fate for a room once dedicated to forging the city’s sound. They proceeded to track the album at High Tower Studios with esteemed engineer James Whitten (High On Fire, Thou), resulting in a mature, sonically diverse and emotionally charged collection.
"Hymns Under A Blood Moon Sky" is a gut-wrenching ride through the New Orleans trio's world. It ranges from the relentless, Maiden-meets-Sabbath attack of “Got Nothing” to the haunting, brass-backed NOLA jazz funeral dirge of “La Ti Da” featuring the horns of Egg Yolk Jubilee. The album fearlessly tackles themes of death, divorce, suicide and addiction (“Blackwater Rising”), balanced by moving tributes such as guitarist and vocalist Durel Yates’ ode to his mother, “I See You”. It weaves in diverse influences, from Black Flag swagger to prog-jazz intricacy, culminating in the dynamic first single: “No Apologies.”
The album’s title and artwork are deeply rooted in New Orleans history and personal narrative. The cover features a 1960s painting by Danny Nick’s father, famed Jackson Square artist Richard “D.Nick” Nick, depicting the pirate Jean Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, which housed an arsenal of weapons strategic to the victory of The Battle Of New Orleans in the War of 1812. The title, Hymns Under A Blood Moon Sky, serves as a tribute to the band’s resilient, outsider spirit—forging an arsenal of riffs in secrecy to pay homage to the only home they’ve ever known.

Hailing from New Orleans and formed in 1996, Suplecs stands as a powerhouse trio in the stoner rock scene. Consisting of Danny Nick (ex-EyeHateGod), Durel Yates, and Andrew Preen, the trio forged their legacy with their first two albums on Frank Kozik's iconic Man’s Ruin Records: 2000’s “Wrestlin’ With My Lady Friend” (produced by EyeHateGod bandmate Jimmy Bower) and 2001’s “Sad Songs, Better Days” (produced by Dave Fortman of Ugly Kid Joe). This era cemented their reputation through relentless coast-to-coast tours with heavyweights like Clutch, Alabama Thunderpussy, High On Fire, Corrosion Of Conformity, Gwar and Halfway To Gone.
Their third album, 2004’s “Powtin’ On The Outside, Pawty On The Inside” was produced by another NOLA heavyweight, Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity. Unfortunately, the album failed to gain the traction it deserved as it was released on local label Nocturnal Records, which was sidelined along with the band and everyone from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina.
After a period of rebuilding, Suplecs reemerged through various appearances over the next few years at SXSW, helped by their new home Small Stone Records. In 2011, they would release their fourth album “Mad Oak Redoux” and gained a coveted High Times Magazine Award as “Stoner Rock Band Of The Year”. The following years saw them continue their musical journey with appearances at Voodoo Fest, Mutants Of Monsters Fest, and Bayou Boogaloo, along with yearly pilgrimages to their second home in Austin, Texas. Their music has been featured on TV shows such as “Dog the Bounty Hunter” and “MTV’s Fun Factory”.
Marked by life’s passages, Suplecs have maintained a vital presence, most notably with their annual Mardi Gras show—a New Orleans staple for over 500 attendees, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025. Now, after years of fan-favorite live sets, the band is channeling decades of raw experience, swagger, and heaviness into writing their highly anticipated fifth album, promising a powerful culmination of their storied career.

A Fistful Of Questions With Bryan Reed From Doomsday Profit!
Guitarist. Vocalist. Denizen of the slow and low. Ladies and gentlemen (and I use the term loosely), Mr. Bryan Reed from Doomsday Profit.
What is your full name?
Bryan Reed
Do you have any aliases?
Nope.
If you had an alias what might it be?
I have no idea. I’m a staunch believer that you shouldn’t pick your own nickname, so it’s out of my hands.
What bands are you actively involved with?
Doomsday Profit.
What was the first instrument that you played?
In the most literal sense, probably a pair of maracas or a tambourine in preschool. I played trumpet in the middle school band. And later on, I fiddled around on bass for a while before I decided to pick up a guitar.
Tell me about one of your first musical memories?
When I was about 13, I made friends with a kid who was into skateboarding and punk rock. He played me MXPX’s cover of the Social Distortion song “Sick Boy” and it dragged me straight into the punk-rock wormhole. I’ve been chasing all different stripes of heavy, aggressive music ever since.
What was the name of the first band you were in?
I was in a band in high school called The Doomsters — borrowing a line from the Thomas Hardy poem “Hap.” I guess I’ve been fated to be in a “Doom” band from the beginning.
Tell me about the genesis of Doomsday Profit.
At some point in 2018 or so, I got the itch to pick up guitar again after not playing at all for a few years. As soon as I got comfortable playing power chords again, I started writing riffs with Ryan Sweeney, our bassist. I’d been into doom and sludge metal for years without ever really trying to play it, but something about playing slow and low just felt right when I got back into playing.
I started devouring Does It Doom videos and learning Sabbath, Electric Wizard, and Saint Vitus riffs, mutating them, and finding that with Ryan’s input, my bastard riffs started to feel like they could become songs. That’s when we started to put a lineup together.
We played our first show in September of 2019 as a trio with Tradd Yancey (ex-Crystal Spiders) on drums. He brought in Kevin See to add more dynamics and give my primitive riffing a complementary lead guitar. We’ve been evolving ever since.
We recorded the new album with David Ruiz (Antiquity) on drums, and have since added Nat Parkinson (Zealotrous, Hattricks) to the throne and started writing new songs for the next era of the band.
What inspired the name Doomsday Profit?
As we were starting to develop the concept of this band, I was deep into Thou’s Magus and David Wallis-Wells’ book The Uninhabitable Earth. Ryan and I were both feeling anxiety around the climate crisis and the rise of far-right ideologies during the first Trump administration. As we were digging deep into doom metal, we were fusing that ominous sound and sensibility with a real sense of dread and anger about climate change, inequality, the specter of war, and, soon after we got going, we got to add a global pandemic to the list!
In all these cases, it feels like we can see what’s coming, but as long as there’s money to be made from burning oil and exploiting people and the environment, nobody in power is going to fix anything — not as long as they can profit from our doom.
Plus, we love puns.
How long did it take you to write and record your new self-titled full length album?
Some of the songs go back to the very beginning. “Doomsday Profit” was one that I wrote lyrics for back in 2018, but we never quite worked out the arrangement until David joined the band in 2023. “Monument to Nothing” is another one that we’d been sitting on for a long time, until we felt ready to record it. Others, like “Sin Eater” and “Terror Cycle” were written in 2024, just before we went into the studio to record them.
So, in a sense, this album covers a span of about six years.
Recording was done in about a week, broken up into a couple long weekends. Mixing took longer, as we went through a few different iterations before settling on the final mix. Then we just had to figure out how we wanted to release it.
We’ve tried to not let this one sit for too long, but it still feels like forever ago when we recorded it, and we’re already itching to start laying down some of our newer ideas.
If you could insert yourself into any one band what band would it be and why?
Doomsday Profit. I’ve loved more bands than I can count, and I’m sure I’ll find plenty more to love as time goes on. But at this moment, Doomsday Profit is the only band I want to be in. We’re making exactly the type of music I want to be making, pushing in a lot of directions I’m excited to explore, and doing it with a group of guys I feel absolutely comfortable and confident in as musicians and as friends.
Have you ever heard a song and immediately wished you had written it? If so… What was the song and artist?
I’ve taken so many ideas from so many different songs, it’s impossible to single out just one. Recently I’ve gone back to a few songs, like “Refuse/Resist” by Sepultura and “The Pressure Keeps Me Alive” by Kowloon Walled City, and just been awed by how powerful they are, and tried to find a similar feeling in the riffs I’m fiddling with at home. I have not been anywhere close to successful yet.
Do you have any non-metal musical inspirations?
Tons. We all listen to a very broad cross-section of music, and you’re as likely to hear psych-rock, jam bands, crust punk, or Americana as metal in the van. Speaking just for myself, I’m really inspired by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Jason Molina, and surf music.
What’s a non-metal song that you'd like to do a cover of?
I think it’d be fun to do a really gnarly, droning version of “Rumble” by Link Wray.
What band have you played with that has really impressed you with their live show?
Thou was probably the heaviest sounding band I’ve ever seen, and Bryan Funck has this really piercing stare on stage that is just electrifying. REZN and USX were both really great at making a sound that fills the space and takes you somewhere else. But, as far as bands that maybe folks aren’t as familiar with, I’d say it’s been awesome to see bands like Cosmic Reaper, Mean Green, Bongfoot, and Skull Servant develop and push us to get better.
Do you have a favorite venue to play at?
I love playing small rooms with really cool vibes, so The Odd in Asheville, Monstercade in Winston-Salem, and Sugey’s Bar in Charleston are always a treat to play. The Milestone in Charlotte is a landmark, and I love seeing all the old graffiti and stickers from literally generations of bands. At home, we’re spoiled for great venues like The Cave, Local 506, The Pour House, Kings, Chapel of Bones, etc.
Do you have a pre-show ritual?
Anything to shed some of the nervous energy. I usually end up walking — pacing, really — all over the venue and talking to folks before we play. Right before we go on stage I try to take a few minutes off on my own to stretch my hands and get focused.
What is your favorite thing about touring?
There’s nothing like being on stage with my best friends. It’s always amazing when you look out and see those moments when a song really resonates with people in the audience, but even if we’re playing to an empty room, I just like getting loud and yelling my head off with my dudes.
What is your least favorite thing about touring?
The travel can be taxing, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate or we’re anywhere near Atlanta traffic. We’ve had to navigate some bad rains and snow on a few jaunts, but I mostly enjoy the time in the van. We usually have some good playlists and plenty of time just to chat about whatever.
Is there a city that you love to hit while on tour?
We’ve been lucky in that we almost always feel at home in our usual circuit. Asheville, Boone, Winston-Salem, Richmond, Charlotte, Wilmington, Columbia, Charleston, Athens, Atlanta, and Savannah have all treated us very well. There are definitely some venues that win on vibes, though. Monstercade in Winston-Salem, The Odd in Asheville, and Sugey’s Bar in Charleston are some awesome, small venues with killer art and inclusive vibes.
What’s the weirdest experience you’ve had on the road?
There was the one guy in Chattanooga who gave us $20 and then told us multiple times, with increasing incredulity, about how Rob Halford was once married to a woman. Or, time we played in Duluth, Ga. where we met a self-proclaimed “Weed Wizard,” a guy selling moonshine out of the trunk of his car, and a bartender who seemed determined to go home with Cosmic Reaper (to the point that she tried to sneak into their vehicle at the end of the night). There’s always some interesting characters out there — which generally only makes it more fun. We haven’t run into any real jerks.
The year is 2010. Where are you at and what are you listening to?
I’m living in Raleigh, working my first full-time office job, and going to punk shows as much as humanly possible. I’m obsessed with Double Negative’s second album, Daydreamnation, and Corrosion of Conformity’s discography — particularly Animosity, Blind, and Deliverance.
What advice would you give young musicians that are just starting out in the music business?
This is supposed to be fun. Don’t stop being a fan.
What is an absolute band killer?
Lack of communication. We operate on a “consensus of fun,” where if anyone’s not having a good time, or feeling like the band is intruding on their work or family life too much, we recalibrate our plans. But this depends on being really upfront and honest with each other.
Have you ever recorded a song that you really didn’t like, but somebody else in the band really did?
Generally, the songs we don’t like get scrapped before they get finished. But I think each of us definitely has songs we like more than others, and the rankings don’t always align. But at this point, we have enough material to just back-burner any song if we’re not all stoked on it for whatever reason.
If you were to start your own music festival what would be the name of that festival and who would be the three headlining bands?
Well, being from North Carolina, we’d do a BBQ and music fest and call it “Slow & Low.” I’d love to have Weedeater, Thou, and Corrosion of Conformity at the top of the bill.
What’s the longest time you’ve gone without bathing?
No more than a couple days. I tend to sweat a lot, so daily showers are crucial.
What’s one thing that most people don’t know about you?
I mean, most people don’t know me at all
Is the Fistful of DOOM show in the top 10 of your favorite music podcasts?
Of course!
Do unicorns sleep standing up?
I just rewatched the old Charlie the Unicorn video, where he goes to Candy Mountain and (spoiler alert) gets his kidneys stolen. In that video, Charlie is clearly depicted sleeping lying down. So, I’m going to say no, unicorns do not sleep standing up.
Give me three albums that I should listen to immediately, if not sooner.
I’ll give you three North Carolina sludge metal and crust punk favorites:
Facedowninshit - Nothing Positive, Only Negative
Seven Foot Spleen - Enter Therapy
Żegota - Namasté
You’re driving cross-country and you can only listen to one album the whole time. What album will it be?
Probably a long Crazy Horse live album like Weld or Way Down In The Rust Bucket. Those shows were just hit after hit, with plenty of noisy jamming along the way. It’s great driving music.
You are writing a book about your life thus far. What is the title of that book?
Life of Bryan.
What is your favorite song by Taylor Swift?
Kevin is our resident pop-head, so you’d probably get a more in-depth and thoughtful response from him. But from me, you’ll get “You Belong With Me,” because it’s the first one I could recall. I’m not a hater, but I’m not very well traveled throughout the Taylor-verse.
Slipknot or Rammstein (if you had to choose)?
Slipknot.
Doobies or Boobies (if you had to pick one)?
I love rock ‘n’ roll even without the sex and drugs.
Waffles or Pancakes (if you had to pick one)?
Just going with my gut here: Waffles.
Star Wars or Star Trek (if you had to choose)?
Star Trek if I’m feeling optimistic. Star Wars more often.
Favorite band t-shirt you own?
Bifocal Media, here in Raleigh, commissioned Errol Engelbrecht (who drew the original back in the ‘80s), to do an updated version of Corrosion of Conformity’s nuclear skull logo. That’s one of my favorites. I just got a rad His Hero Is Gone shirt with the art from Fifteen Counts of Arson, though, so that’s been in heavy rotation.
Favorite meal?
Not much beats a good burrito.
Favorite book?
The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallis-Wells has certainly left a lasting impression.
Favorite movie?
Top 3: Point Break (the 1991 original, of course), This is Spinal Tap, and Robo-Cop (the 1987 original, of course).
Favorite album?
Impossible question. But a few I can’t imagine not having immediate access to would include The Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), At The Gates’ Slaughter of the Soul, The Stooges’ Raw Power, and Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s Weld.
Favorite video game?
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
Favorite Professional Wrestler?
I grew up in Charlotte across the street from Arn Anderson. So he’s really the only acceptable answer for me. Although his son, Brock, has now joined the family business, so there’s a new contender for sure.
Many, many thanks to Bryan for taking the time to answer my questions. I appreciate you doing so. As for the rest of you lot, click on over and wrap your ears around the slow and low goodness of Doomsday Profit’s self-titled release (immediately, if not sooner). You can thank me later.

Demons My Friends, whose three members originate from Mexico City, was born during an impromptu recording session at SXSW Festival 2022 in Austin, TX. The concept of their debut album "Demons Seem To Gather" (2023) explores the inner journey its members have embarked on since the onset of the COVID pandemic, confronting inner demons and battling anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and rage, while teaching themselves how to turn these demons into their "friends".

US heavy psych goldsmiths INSOMNIAC announce US spring tour with Howling Giant; debut album available on Blues Funeral Recordings!
Atlanta-based transcendental doom unit INSOMNIAC just announced an extensive spring US tour in support of Nashville progressive metallers Howling Giant this spring. The band recently released their debut album "Om Moksha Ritam" on Blues Funeral Recordings.
"This record is pure beauty." Doom Charts
“Breathtaking and brilliantly surreal.” Outlaws Of The Sun
“This bridges the big epic rock riffage with hypnotic pulses.” Abysmal Hymns
"This isn’t an album you background. It’s a trip, a drift, a weight, and a lift all at once.” Witching Buzz
“An experience that is truly mandatory for all who consider themselves even the most casual fans of heavy psych.” Headbanger Reviews
Atlanta's Insomniac coalesce onto our plane like a third eye opening into the beyond. On their debut record "Om Moksha Ritam", they deliver a brooding, heavy, and psychedelic journey, both physical and abstract, towering and transcendent. Insomniac drifts between this world and the next, hovering at the periphery of consciousness. REZN, King Buffalo and Dead Meadow are names that arise if trying to fit them into familiar confines, though it’s clear that fitting within confines isn’t really what they do.
About the upcoming spring tour, Insomniac drummer Amos Rifkin comments: "After the early success of our debut record Om 'Moksha Ritam' and tours supporting it this fall, we're champing at the bit to hit the road again in the new year, and especially to be a part of the inaugural Mojave Experience festival in Joshua Tree. We're humbled and honored to support such a fantastic band like Howling Giant and can't wait to travel cross-country making beautiful music together!"

* Howling Giant only // ^ Insomniac only
You’ve got it all wrong. The Insomniac isn’t unable to sleep, the Insomniac chooses to evade sleep. We all fall down at some point, but between the waking world and our dreams exists the surreal. In pursuit of that space between, some of history’s most prominent visionaries would hold a physical object, like a spoon or a ball, while sitting in a chair, and allow themselves to succumb to sleep. As they drifted off, the object would fall, and the sound would awaken them at the periphery of unconsciousness. Now more alert than ever, their work could begin.
Such is Insomniac. A band that exists between this world and the next. A bouncing ball on the sound and rhythm of the universe. An aural guide. Writing their songs in the frequency of the earth, the Atlanta-based quintet's sound casts light on the magic and strange beauty in the balance between unconsciousness and dreams. Their debut album “Om Moksha Ritam” is a concept album that guides the listener through an aural and spiritual journey across multiple extreme environments, testing their resolve, principles, and commitment to adhering to the path.
Debut album "Om Moksha Ritam" is available on Blues Funeral Recordings via their online store, Bandcamp and on all streaming services.
