From Austin, Texas. “rooted in the fuzzy, doomy riffage of Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer and the creepy psychedelia of Syd Barrett, and The Well are increasingly good at this kind of thing. Give it a spin.”

Alright, so ISAAK? They're straight-up Italian stoner rock legends, seriously, they came out of the ashes of Gandhi's Gunn, one of Italy's most badass stoner bands, ever. Then, they switched names and signed with the legendary Detroit label, SmallStone Records. In 2013, they dropped "The Longer the Beard the Harder the Sound," and that album blew up worldwide, putting them on the map. Two years later, they hit us with "Sermonize," a killer album co-produced by SmallStone and Heavy Psych Sound Records, and then, life happened – you know, personal stuff, lineup changes – and they took an eight-year break. But in 2023, they came back swinging with "HEY," a new album exclusively on Heavy Psych Sound Records. Between their full-length records, these dudes ain't been slacking! They've been dropping these killer split albums, like, back in 2015, they unleashed one with the mighty Mos Generator (from the USA), then, in 2019, they teamed up with Chron Goblin from Canada for another face-melter. And get this – straight outta the oven, fresh in 2024, they've just dropped their latest split with Geezer from New York! These guys are seriously keeping the stoner rock fire burning. Oh, and their sound? It's been described as "riffalicious fastforward stoner rock." Basically, it'll melt your face off. So, if you're into gut-punching stoner rock, ISAAK's your band.

The origins of Idol Lord began on the south bay beaches just south of Los Angeles, where the sounds of Black Flag, The Circle Jerks and RKL were as common as Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, and Black Oak Arkansas. Forged by surf, skate, punk, metal and classic rock, the members slowly started moving northward into the less densely populated area of the high desert of northern Los Angeles county. Based out of the small, high desert community of Quartz Hill, Ca. Idol Lord has fused it’s classic rock childhood, punk rock adolescence and metal adulthood into it’s own unique brand of fuzzed out stoner/desert rock.
