Heavy Planet Radio Now On MixCloud

Stoner Rock/Doom/Psychedelic/Sludge

Heavy Planet Radio has been on Facebook for a little over a year now gaining over 1000 "likes" along the way, primarily posting tunes by way of Bandcamp and YouTube links. While not your typical "radio" station we, or shall I say our main "DJ" Stump spins the tunes basically playing anything that he feels like playing. Heavy Planet Radio is a great way for fans to hear new music and for bands to get their music heard. We get a shit ton of music sent into the Heavy Planet office on a weekly basis and feel bad that we are not able to feature many of the bands on our main site. Therefore I have decided to launch a Heavy Planet Radio station on MixCloud. Through MixCloud we will feature New Music playlists, staff writer playlists, the possibilities are endless. The MixCloud app is also available for iPhone and Android so you can listen to Heavy Planet Radio anywhere you go. People always complain that radio sucks and while not your typical "radio" station, we hope that you will tune in and listen. 

If you would like to submit a song, please send the track in MP3 format to heavyplanet2001@yahoo.com with the subject line "Heavy Planet Radio". 

To start things off, I have created a playlist of 25 new bands for you to check out. Over the coarse of the next few weeks we will be adding playlists of some of the staff from Heavy Planet to give you a taste of what we all listen to.

We thank you for listening, now go crank that mutha up!

Album Of The Day-Sunn O)))-"Flight Of The Behemoth" (2002)

Well, not a huge fan of Drone/Ambient/Electronic/Noise Metal, I have the utmost respect for Sunn O))). They are the ultimate band if you are interested in what the above stated sub-genre is all about. I have decided to make "Flight Of The Behemoth" the Album Of The Day. Read the review below then listen for yourself.

Review:

Sunn's first two discs, The Grimmrobe Demos and 00 Void, established the group's droning, bass-heavy "power ambient" doom style and showed that the bandmembers had spent plenty of time listening to and learning from their Earth records. With Flight of the Behemoth, they begin with that same basic foundation (in fact, the first two tracks are impossible to distinguish from ones on their earlier albums), but for the first time also branch out to create something new, something that goes beyond any sort of mere Earth worship. This is partially true of the last track, "F.W.T.B.T.," which employs a drummer and a vocalist for the first time on any Sunn recording, but more so on the third and fourth ones, "O))) Bow 1" and "O))) Bow 2." Given the once-over by special guest mixer/legendary noise artist Merzbow, Sunn's hypnotic, slow-as-molasses feedback drones slowly evolve into a wall of distorted, swirling (although not completely overdriven) noise on these tracks, creating the sensation of being slowly sucked into a black hole while a symphony of chain saws plays in the background. Sound like fun? Well, needless to say, this music is not for everybody, but this collaboration has yielded something truly immense and frightening, bridging the gaps between dark ambient/drone music and electronic noise, between doom metal and avant-garde electro-acoustic sound. This is a remarkable album, recommended for brave connoisseurs of any of the above genres. (William York, All Music Guide)
