The band comments: “Due to the time we can get away from Oz and all that, it’s a brief visit, sadly some of the regular venues we couldn’t play due to booking conflicts, but maybe next tour. We will be in Oldenburg at Cadillac, its been a long time coming this one, since we played MTS years ago, and dont forget, Tranquonauts will be performing at Freak Valley Festival. We can’t wait to get back there to see everyone and hang.
We will have a limited edition tour album »Hell Yeah!« on the road with us in Europe… Its in the vein of Guitar Overdrive, where theres a mix of covers and originals – this ones pretty heavy – more on that later. It will also be limited edition.
The image on the poster is also the album cover for »Hell Yeah!« – and yes it will come with 3D glasses.
P.S. New Zealand – we will have distribution for our current and future vinyl releases… Stay tuned!!”
Melbourne-based heavy psych rockers Seedy Jeezus have released their long-awaited third studio album »Damned To The Depths« in August 2025 – their most emotionally charged and sonically expansive work to date.
Six years in the making, the album marks a significant evolution for the band, which features Paul Crick, Mark Sibson, Lex Waterreus, and Tony Reed. Known for his work with Mos Generator, Big Scenic Nowhere, and Pentagram, Reed not only joins the band as a full member but also takes the helm as producer, shaping the sound.
Thematically, the album delves deep into the human experience of death, with one side focused on grief and the other on mourning, weaving together dark psychedelia, heavy riffage, and introspective lyricism.
The album artwork was created by acclaimed French painter Michel Henricot, known for his emotionally intense and often surrealist works exploring human psychology, mortality, and the unconscious. Michel had listened to early demos and liked what he had heard and the idea of his art being a visual extension to the music..Tragically, Michel passed away before the album was completed, making his contribution a lasting tribute to his talent and vision.
The record also features a haunting guest performance by Kasinda Faase on flute, adding an ethereal layer to the track »The Hollow Earth«.
Seedy Jeezus invite listeners into an immersive sonic journey – a bold and deeply personal statement forged in patience, vision, and creative fire.

Seedy Jeezus was formed in 2010 as a power trio, blending 60s psychedelic rock with 70s heavy riffs to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and modern. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Lex Waterreus, bassist Paul Crick, and drummer Mark Sibson, the band is renowned for their high-energy live performances and improvisational prowess. Their discography includes the self-titled debut (2015), »Polaris Oblique« (2018), and the double live album »The Hollow Earth« (2022). Collaborations like Tranquonauts with Isaiah Mitchell and Tony Reed further showcase their cosmic explorations. Their latest album, »Damned To The Depths« (August 2025), introduces progressive elements while retaining their signature heavy sound. Seedy Jeezus continues to push the boundaries of heavy psychedelic rock, earning acclaim in the global underground scene.
