Deep in the South Pacific lies Aotearoa / New Zealand, the mythical Land Of The Long White Cloud. Amongst the diverse landscapes ranging from snowy peaks, immense native bush and picturesque sunny beaches lies some of the inspiration for the Stoner/Doom/Sludge scene.
Earlier artists such as Datura paved the way for what would become a healthy and active happening of filthy, fuzzed out riffs.
Aotearoa is an isolated country but a very passionate one about all things heavy. International bands are always welcomed with enthusiastic crowds of stoned hordes of patrons.
So sit back, grab a nuggy from the top shelf, crack a cold one and take a deep inhale of Weedian – Trip To New Zealand
