ALBUM PREMIERE | Ahead of its official reissue on Friday, head on over to Big Takeover Magazine now to stream the 2008 cult classic A.M. by Magnetic Morning featuring Adam Franklin (Swervedriver) and Sam Fogarino (Interpol)

“I think there is something very psychedelic about this record but not in an Electric Prunes-type way [...] I just think some of these songs sound like dreams – odd, disassociated lyrics with warped sounds to match. To me it’s like misty morning mood music.” Adam Franklin

Long-lost and sought after, fully remastered, and more mesmerizing than ever, pre-order your copy of A.M. today via Outer Battery Records here - https://shorturl.at/sHCW8

+++++

“Oh, what a beautiful album, oh, what a beautiful band!. A.M. is a beguilingly full-band effort, with kaleidoscopic lushness, copious hooks, and a mesmerising blend of ‘80s Brit and ‘60s psychedelic influences...” Big Takeover Magazine

“The record initially went largely unnoticed but has since become a sought-after item amidst the perpetual shoe-gaze revival. Therefore this reissue makes perfect sense. What makes A.M. so compelling is its almost cinematic approach. The dreamy songs are grand in conception, opening up vast sonic landscapes with major sonic assaults.” VISIONS

Originally self-released in 2008, A.M. by Magnetic Morning – the collaborative project between Adam Franklin (Swervedriver) and Sam Fogarino (Interpol) – quickly became a sought-after collectible among fans of both legendary bands.

Beastwars are taking their latest album "The Ship // The Sea" (released 7th Nov 25) on tour and hit a packed Double Whammy Friday night.

"Tonight Beastwars deliver the mahi, the set is a perfect balance between new and past, the Australian shows have tightened, refined them adroitly, and with such a large turnout, we can hope a return visit to Tamaki Makaurau is not too far away." The 13th Floor - https://shorturl.at/wL6kU

OUT TODAY | Happy release day to our good friends Maha Sohona and Max at Bonebag Records!

Glimpse into the void through six immersive tracks with the brand-new album from the Umeå-based trio;

A Dark Place - heavy, hypnotic, and drenched in starlight... order your copy here - https://shorturl.at/T9pBC

Find out what the world thinks of the album below...

“A crucial third album that very clearly has learned lessons from its predecessors, A Dark Place feels like the work of a band who’ve formed an idea of who they are musically, and it brings that to life with the promise of continued growth to come. We as listeners should be so lucky.” JJ Koczan, The Obelisk

“Swedish psych prog trio Maha Sohona’s has a moody prog sound that is likely to appeal to fans of Elder and Tool, as they weave a low hypnotic groove with vocals reminiscent of the latter.” Prog

“Maha Sohona are one of the best kept secrets within the Swedish Underground Rock/Metal scene who will no doubt achieve greater recognition from the wider scene thanks to this incredible album.” Outlaws Of The Sun

"You can expect crushing riffs and hypnotic grooves, and a whole lot of fuzzy guitars. The album has a very meditative feel to it, it’s almost like heavy metal yoga, you kind of float away and drift off into space while listening to this – and yet the music is heavy and has that foundation of slower to mid-tempo Sabbath style riffs.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Metal Epidemic

"For fans of Elder, Tool and Alice In Chains huh? Yeah sign me up to the trippy stuff right now [...] These are the collected Visions of Maha Sohona, experience them as loudly as you dare. 8/10" Musipedia Of Metal

“Once second track and single Visions hits, you will feel the air around you start to bend, you will swear you can taste the electricity and will be convinced that for a moment, for just a fraction of a second, you’ve met your own reflection on the other side of that sound.” Stoner HiVe

“Maha Sohona has moved past their influences with this creation, making their sound undeniably their own with all the sprawling magnificence and wonder that one could ask for from heavy psychedelia of this sort. Likely the last great stop for this genre before 2025 comes to a close, it’s the entirety of A Dark Place that entrances you right from the beginning and never once relinquishes its grip upon your very soul.” Head-Banger Reviews

Are you all ready for the arrival of the new Maha Sohona album on Bonebag Records tomorrow? Matt Bladen at Musipedia Of Metal certainly is.
