Canadian progressive stoner rockers Pharm premiere new single and music video »Crackhead Arachnid«

Kelowna, British Columbia based progressive stoner rockers Pharm premiere new single and music video »Crackhead Arachnid«, released today, March 31st, 2026.

Pharm’s »Crackhead Arachnid« is now available on all major streaming platforms!

Pharm, the mongers of mind melting prog infused stoner metal, have announced the release of the first single, »Crackhead Arachnid«, off their highly anticipated second album. The track is clambering out and busting speakers on March 31st, 2026.

Infamous for their twisting riffs, psychedelic time changes, and unhinged drum work, Pharm returns from the road, bringing their wild flair into the studio for their most blistering work yet. »Crackhead Arachnid« promises to be an absolutely filthy addition to their catalogue, offering fans a bone-jarring blend of relentless drumming, precision riffery, sci-fi theremin, and menacing keyboard and guitar work that conjures the specter of ritualistic doom.

The single was recorded deep in the heart of the Okanagan at Archouse Studios, capturing a raw, uncompromising energy that has become the band’s signature. It is a sonic journey that will appeal to fans of Black Sabbath, Rush and Mastodon.

Accompanying the track is their crazy guerilla style video which blends live footage, signature greasiness and the phellas’ unmistakable energy.

Pharm was forged in the early days of 2019. Their debut album »Vortex« took the fellas on a 52-day tour in the summer of 2023. The 3 fellas’ whacky antics on and off the stage precedes their reputation for their delicious musical blend of proggy rock and stoner metal. 2023 saw the release of their critically acclaimed, raucous EP, »The Tower«.

Since then, they’ve been featured at Massif Festival, Loud As Hell, Mosh the Rock, Pharmphest, Psychfest, Electric Highway Festival, Wacken Metal Battle, Armstrong Metal Fest and Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Album number 2 is far underway and will bring old and new fans alike into an uncharted and nutty territory.

They’re coming to make heads bang and change up the timing faster than Einstein’s microwave!

Recorded, mixed and engineered by Archouse Studios.
Guitars recorded at Oodelalay Recordings.
