#bandshirtfriday
This is Dana wearing the new Fogdriver T-Shirt. But wait a minute - did you notice the similarity?
Yes, you´re right. She is indeed the "dancing shadow" in the fogdriver-video, on our CD-cover and the centre point of our new Shirt design!
Thank you so much, Dana, for being part of all this!!
Am Samstag wird für mich ein kleiner Traum wahr. In Berlin gibt's jetzt endlich eine Jam Session für Heavy Psych Freaks. 😉 Und wer darf den Abend eröffnen? Meine neue Band 'Anasha'. 🤩
Kommt vorbei, spielt mit, bringt auch gerne eure Instrumente mit!

Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner
Elephant Tree - Wither
Earth - Old Black
Weedpecker - Reality Fades
Spaceslug - SpaceRunner
Lowrider - Pipe Rider
It goes by many names: Doom Metal, Stoner Rock, Desert Rock, Heavy Psych, Sludge Metal… they’re all mostly describing the same thing. Low tuned, fuzzed-out guitars, and slow tempos. Black Sabbath pretty much prototyped the genre, which is why I included them here.
If there are any vocals at all, the lyrics tend to involve drugs, space, paganism, or general feelings of doom (go figure). Not that it matters, they’re almost always unintelligible. 😏
In the 90s there was a big stoner rock scene in the Palm Desert, #California area, which is why it’s sometimes referred to as Desert Rock. Kyuss was probably the biggest band to come out of that era.
More recently there’s been a flourishing of doom metal bands in #Poland. The last 3 bands in this mix are all from Poland.
Black Sabbath pretty much invented doom metal in 1970. Good job guys. For you younger types, that's Ozzy Osbourne's original band. 😉
Members of Kyuss have gone on to form or play in Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, and Them Crooked Vultures among other bands.
Elephant Tree is from London.
Earth is one of the pioneers of Drone Metal. (Yet another sub-genre!)
Weedpecker, Spaceslug and Lowrider are all from Poland. 🇵🇱
For other Polish bands, check out Dopelord, MuN, Bantha Rider, Major Kong, Fifty Foot Woman, Kapitan Bongo, Seedium, WEIRD TALES, Shine, Belzebong and Sunnata.
