Doomsmas was an absolute blast!

Posted on February 4, 2024 by scotty fuse

There was lots of raging and tons of shredding. HUGE thanks to Robo and the staff at the Marigold Theater for making us feel at home. It was awesome to share the stage with Evil80, Strange Highways, and Black Pyramid. We were sad to miss the Benthic Realm folks, as they weren’t able to play due to illness.

We saw so many good Western, MA friends, thanks for making it a night to remember!

Burn On The Bayou review

Posted on December 5, 2023 by scotty fuse

Check out this sweet review of the CCR tribute we are on.

“Cortez follows this by picking the less known Gloomy. While they move at the same pace as the previous track, they emphasize the doom, and it fairly crushes.”

We’ll take that!

CCR Compilation

Posted on November 8, 2023 by scotty fuse

Next month Ripple Music will release “Burn on the Bayou: A Heavy Underground Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival” tribute album. This massive 32-track compilation presents reimagined Creedence Clearwater Revival songs by bands from Ripple Music’s past and present roster such as War Cloud, Kind, Great Electric Quest, High Priestess, Thunder Horse, Void Vator, Stonebirds, JPT Scare Band, Cities of Mars, special guest Kyle Shutt of The Sword and more.

About the compilation, Ripple Music label founder Todd Severin says: “I chose Creedence Clearwater Revival for our first compilation because I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to do Sabbath, Lizzy or such because bands have such reverence for them that they would turn in their best take on Sabbath or Lizzy. I wanted a band with amazing songs, that the bands could make their own, and boy did they. Plus Creedence Clearwater Revival is rooted in the sludge of the swamp, an aesthetic that plays well to stoner/doom bands. And to really bring out the swamp in the songs, the whole project was mastered by Kent Stump of the legendary swamp rockers Wo Fat.”
