BIO
Where the desert meets the mountains. That’s the setting both in locale and style that has lead to the “boogie-infused facepunch” class of rock and roll Chron Goblin has proclaimed since their formation in 2009. Swagger and muscle, charm and wit, Chron Goblin pair melody with aggression for a fresh interpretation of hip-shakin' heavy. Following the success of 2013's sophomore album Life for the Living and touring in the UK, USA and Canada, the band's third full length Backwater was recorded by Adam Pike (Red Fang), in Portland, OR at Toadhouse Studios and was released Nov. 13, 2015 via Ripple Music.
In addition to performances at Stumpfest and Junofest, Chron Goblin returned across the pond embarking on their first European tour in the spring of 2016 across France, Germany and Switzerland. The band are currently in the midst of writing their fourth album and are booked to return to Desertfest London 2017.
“Fun, fast, and surprisingly slick . . . weirdly radio-friendly brand of stoner metal.”
— Zach Kelly, Noisey
“Straight-up stoner/desert rock in the tradition of Kyuss, it’s plenty groovy, loaded with swaggering bluesy riffs. Highly recommended. ”
— Adrien Begrand, Decibel Magazine

Gonga (official)
https://gonga.bandcamp.com/music
Clawing their way out of the dank blackness of their riff research laboratory and hungry for the flesh of new twisted listeners, Gonga bring forth a new offering – a Concrescence.
In the five years since their last outpouring of un-anchored HeavyRock, Transmigration, Gonga managed to lose/fire/upset every bass player in the region. Brothers Thomas (dramatic battery) and George (riff philosophy) having survived war and mental abuse from the outside world found a new phenomenon walking the golden triangle right in front of their (third) eyes; a specialist in detail – you could say a time-stretch professional. And so, Latch self-sacrificed himself to the group before he even joined; the perfect combination of Geezer Butler and Cliff Burton muttering arcane wisdom.
A trinity of Earth forms was instantly created; bull, goat, ram. The strength of the triangle allowed the 3 to set about HeavyRock construction. Without singer the aim became to create aural landscapes for band and listener to use as a launchpad for remote viewing, for mental and spiritual enlightenment and for emotional therapy. One could refer to it as instrumental HeavyRock for the philosophical connoisseur.
Riff research and late night experimentations led the trio into unexplored territories of voiceless riff/rhythm. Years passed and the brew grew strong, as did the urge to commit the aural paintings to vinyl.
Six tracks, two sides - Concrescence, a region of complexity in comparison to its surroundings.
Gonga hail from Bristol, UK. This is their third album. They have toured with Mondo Generator and High On Fire and have performed at Glastonbury and Download festivals as well as recording a Maida Vale session for Zane Lowe (Radio 1). Their favourite colour is black or green or something probably.
