Weed Demon returns with their third LP, »The Doom Scroll«, revamping their sludged-out stoner doom with death/thrashing atrocity, often weaving through hallucinatory dungeon synth passages. Scheduled for 31 January 2025 via Electric Valley Records, this new album will be available on three vinyl variants as well as on digital platforms.

The audio equivalent of bong water spilled on a Ouija board, Weed Demon is a 4-piece sludge ‘n’ roll stoner metal band from Columbus, OH. Over the last decade, they have released an EP and two full-length albums, steadily building their presence in the stoner rock and sludge metal scenes. As they continue to push the boundaries of their sound, Weed Demon captivates audiences with relentless creativity and a crushing cosmic vision. Whether through thunderous riffs or ethereal explorations, they invite listeners on a journey into the far reaches of sound and imagination.

It’s been nearly a decade since Weed Demon exhaled a cloud of riffs over the doom metal scene with their debut EP, Stoned to Death. Since then, they’ve consistently delivered a steady dose of sludgy, groove-laden stoner doom potent enough to make Beelzebub himself bang his horns. Their last release, Crater Maker, dropped during the pandemic and saw the band reaching new heights of heaviness while staying true to their signature doom groove worship.

Never ones to revisit the same playbook twice, the Demon boys are back with »The Doom Scroll«, a reinvention of their signature sludge ‘n’ roll style of doom. Equal parts unrelenting and crushing, yet infused with heavy blues-inspired riffage, this new chapter sees Weed Demon expanding their sonic horizons like never before, with the help of Stoneripper Studios. Expect doom, gloom, sludge, thrash, death, blues, and even a dash of dungeon synth for good measure. »The Doom Scroll« is a packed bowl, and Weed Demon is giving you the first hit.

The vinyl edition of »The Doom Scroll« includes a secret track – a cover of Frank Zappa’s »Willy The Pimp«, a classic reknown for Captain Beefheart’s idiosyncratic vocal grit and Zappa’s epic, extended guitar solo.

• Black Vinyl (250x)
