✨ Stream Weedpecker’s new album »V« via Outlaws Of The Sun ✨
“Immersive and transcending.” – Out Of Rage Magazine
“V not only hits the progressive/psych-rock zeitgeist perfectly, but does so whilst sounding fresh and unique.” – Everything Is Noise
“One of the most essential heavy psychedelic rock acts the musical world currently has right now.” – Outlaws Of The Sun
“Weedpecker dismantle the boundaries between stoner doom and the ethereal drift of neo-psychedelia.” – It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine
Forged in a crucible of personal change and existential reflection, Weedpecker’s new album »V« is the sound of stability crumbling and beauty rising from the fragments. An intoxicating blend of sprawling, shimmering psychedelia, crushing heaviness and soaring prog-meets-psych-pop melody, this new album showcases Weedpecker’s multi-layered craft in its most lush and refined form.

About the album’s emotional core, guitarist and vocalist Piotr Dobry comments: “I started writing the songs for »V« at the beginning of 2023. While creating this material, I kept returning to one thought: everything we take for granted is, in reality, incredibly fragile. Nothing lasts forever, and the sense of things slipping away can hit much sooner than we expect. I tried to translate those feelings into sound.”
Recorded across several studios over a few months, this patient, detail-oriented approach has resulted in the rich and expansive sonic tapestry of »V« – an immersive, dreamlike journey that stands as their most personal work to date.

Formed in Warsaw, Poland in 2012, Weedpecker emerged from the creative union of brothers Piotr and Bartek Dobry. Their mission was to weave dreamy, expansive psychedelic rock with the raw gravity of stoner and grunge. Throughout the decade, the band solidified its reputation with three critically acclaimed albums, delivering some of the most revered heavy psych anthems the scene has witnessed.
After the powerful release of »III« in 2018, the band entered a new chapter as longtime members Bartek Dobry, Robert Kulakowski, and Grzegorz Pawlowski moved on. Weedpecker re-emerged in 2020 with a revitalized lineup, welcoming members of Dopelord and Major Kong. This new incarnation debuted not only fresh faces but also an expanded sonic palette, introducing keyboards to their live performances.

Their latest chapter, »IV: The Stream Of Forgotten Thoughts« (2021), fully unveils this evolved identity. The album effortlessly flows from mellow psychedelia to blistering rock explosions, all anchored by their signature melodic heavy riffage. Through transformation and growth, Weedpecker continues to affirm its place as one of Europe’s most essential and exciting psychedelic acts. In 2025, they signed a worldwide deal with Heavy Psych Sounds Records for the release of their anticipated fifth album »V« in the winter of 2026.
