Doublestone


Formed in 2011 Copenhagen, Denmark, by long time friends, Jamie and Bo as a duo. Doublestone, later that year became a power-trio as (the cousin) Kristian joined the band. The stoner-rock trio released a few EP’s, and in 2013 joined forces with, Mos Generator’s Tony Reed to record their first full length “Wingmakers.”
The debut album was recorded in an old cheese factory’s basement under the city of Copenhagen and catapulted the trio into the international stoner-rock scene, with their 70’s inspired, straight forward hardrock.
Now digging even deeper and going even further underground, the long awaited second album, was created in the World War II bunker which is now Wolf Ram Studio, produced and mixed by Doublestone and Andreas Krohn, and mastered once again by the legendary by Tony Reed.
“Devil’s Own/Djævlens Egn” is finally ready for the world to hear and will be released worldwide by Ripple Music.

Kingnomad


Kingnomad saw the light of day January 2014. Jay and Marcus – The best of friends and neigbours was often hanging out in the studio in Jay’s basement, jammin on fuzzy Sabbath riffs. One day, one of them riffs turned into a song – Lucifer Is Dead.
With that song, a thought and a purpose followed. The thought – To make music that combined the old 70s sound with nice haunting vocal arrangements, and lyrics that could carry you of to dark and distant worlds. The purpose – To have some fun doing that!
From the “Crazy Heart Studio” in Jay’s basement in that small forest village in northen Sweden – A never ending stream of occult, psychedelic, progressive, 70s rock is pouring out .
Leaving no soul untouched.

Obsidean Sea


Obsidian Sea is a doom metal band formed in the beginning of 2009 in Sofia, Bulgaria finding inspiration in otherworldly experiences, myths and the hidden corners of the psyche and imagination in contrast to the shallow and cold world we live in.

Ozone Mama


High-octane rock n’ roll band Ozone Mama hails from Budapest with a vintage sound reminiscent of the 60’s or 70’s yet swaddled in a modern vibe. They successfully blend an old-school vintage rock with blues, soul and a hard-rocking energy all their own. The band’s energetic live performances perfectly fit at any festival or club line-up. For lovers of the golden-era classic rock, Ozone Mama is definitely worth checking out for some honest-to-goodness rock and roll.

Plainride


Imagine a pack of rabid tumbleweeds sweeping across the hot desert sand of Mojave set on fire by the nearby explosion of a Dodge Challenger ‘69 driven into a fuel soaked pile of Orange Half-Stacks by four whole-body bearded lumberjacks dressed in bearskin.
You still follow?
Good.
Now what if I tell you said lumberjacks use guitar strings as dental floss and consider alligator-wrestling the most innocent part of their childhood? There you go. Shaking the earth like a ravaging hurricane and filling the skies with thundering riffs, we at PLAINRIDE practice what we consider one of the finest Genres ever to emerge from the sacred ashes of the 70s.


Poseidon

Poseidon bring a whole new dynamic to the doom world, with pulverizing riffs, moments of stark, barren beauty, and mixture of Neurosis drone and YOB nuclear test site volume..

Having already stormed major festivals such as Desert Fest London, Bloodstock Open Air and Hard Rock Hell, and having toured with the likes Orange Goblin, Saint Vitus and Mothership, Poseidon took their critical success to new heights with their debut for Ripple Music released in 2017, which was received with almost reverential acclaim worldwide.

Psychlona


Hailing from the city of Bradford in Yorkshire Country, England, Psychlona began via the most rock ‘n roll of origins: guitarists Phil and Dave, who had shared stages frequently in their respective bands over the years, crossed paths in 2015 while attending a local gig and bonded over beers and discussions of Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Sabbath, Nebula, and Hawkwind, and decided to form a new band that night.

Psychlona floats easily between Boogie Van-era Fu and early Orange Goblin, stirred with ocassional spoonfuls of Spirit Caravan to doom things out. Of course, no matter how far they ride in any direction, Sky Valley is always just over the horizon…

Stubb


For the growing legions of Ripple fans, known as the Waveriders, STUBB will be another must-hear addition to the ranks of bands that already include such heavy rockers as Mos Generator, Devil to Pay, Mothership, Trucker Diablo and Ape Machine. You can bet that the combination of STUBB and Ripple Music will be a combustible mixture!

Vokonis


In October 2015, three fuzzers with a strong sense of D.I.Y attitude a band called Vokonis. Simon, Jonte and Emil had prior experience playing together as Creedsmen Arise but shed the name to focus on a new direction. With a focus on volume, fuzz and riffs they are not letting up and are relentless in their quest for heavy tone.

Witchers Creed


It actually all started back in 2011 when Filip, Emil and Charlie met in seventh grade and formed ILLUSION, inspired by swedish 1970s trio NOVEMBER. But then in 2015 things went south and the band was retired. For long they talked about forming a similar band in a heavier direction this time. They all loved Sabbath and the 70s sound, But Andersson was more of the 80’s metal guy and Rangstedt was more of the 60’s/70’s psychadelic guy. The result, combining 70s Doom like Sabbath, with early NWOBHM like Judas Priest’s first albums, and early 80s doom/NWOBHM like Angel Witch and Witchfinder General etc. Then, finally in the end of high school together, In late 16’ early 17’ WITCHERS CREED was born.
