Wizzarding Promotions proudly presents to the denizens of Bristol, Avalon, and beyond:

Ecstatic Vision [Philadelphia, PA, USA]
http://ecstaticvision.bandcamp.com/
"The Philadelphia trio Ecstatic Vision have toured with metal acts like YOB and Enslaved, and they’re signed to the metal-associated label Relapse Records, and they look like a metal band. But Ecstatic Vision’s forthcoming five-song debut, Sonic Praise, only occasionally intersects with metal, and when it does, it resembles bands like Hawkwind or Monster Magnet or Earthless.
These are tripped-out, sun-baked, cloud-high psychedelic jams drawing from free jazz, Krautrock, and Afrobeat, resulting in music that lives up to the lofty promises made in both the band’s name and their album’s title. To the extent this stuff might be conflated, confused, or associated with metal.
More aptly, though, it recalls the old Spacemen 3 album title (and mission statement), Taking Drugs To Make Music To Take Drugs To. (To be fair, I have no idea if any of the guys in Ecstatic Vision have ever so much as considered a single toke; their music, though, suggests they have vast experience with all number of hallucinogens.)"
Trance inducing raw heavy psych. Ecstatic Vision is Doug Zabolchech, Kevin Nickles, Michael Field Connor and Ricky Culp.
FFO: Hawkwind, The Stooges, Monster Magnet, MC5.

Cybernetic Witch Cult [Cornwall, UK]
https://cyberneticwitchcult.bandcamp.com
"Cybernetic Witch Cult are a groovaceous metal band who take their influences from Doom metal, 70s rock, stoner rock, space rock and science fiction B movies.
Early 2016 saw writing of the second album 'Spaceous Cretaceous' and follow up 'Troglodithic Trip' (both out now!)"
FFO: Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, and Arthur C Clark.

Moon Goose [Hay on Wye, UK]
https://moon-goose.com/
"Moon goose has crawled out of the primal swamp and taken a good look around. The resulting bird has flapped madly around a barn with a load of guitars strapped to one wing and a synthesizer on the other, while it flies repeatedly into some drums.
Made out of bits of comet and whalebone, the music that people are already calling ‘epic’ and ‘unlistenable’ throws a jagged beam of light in the growing darkness, to reveal some people using a barn as a giant amplifier.
Duchamp put a toilet in an art gallery. Moon goose put music in a bag and shook it around until it was in bits, poured the bits out, and set fire to them.
It’s the sound of a dragon colliding with an asteroid."
FFO: rare cheese, gneiss, illogical conclusions.
