[News] Weedian released the new Underground Heavy music compilation “Trip To China”

In October 2011, Never Before played the first-ever Stoner Doom show at 13Club livehouse in Beijing. Out of their
obsession with the “New Orleans Heavy Blues” scene, and under the influences of bands such as Down, Crowbar and
Eyehategod, Never Before was able to develop their early sound and style. In 2012, Electric Lady was founded, according to Jimmy Bai, the guitarist, at the time they just wanted to be a band that as if they were living between 1969 to 1970. In 2016, SloomWeep Productions was founded, publicizing music genres such as Stoner, Sludge, Doom and Heavy Psych to Chinese audiences, they also popularized the term “SSD,” an acronym for Stoner/Sludge/Doom.
It is without a doubt that bands such as Black Sabbath, Sleep, Kyuss, Acid King, Electric Wizard and many others from the 70s had a huge influence on these Chinese musicians; for the last decade or so, Chinese bands like Apollo 20, Alpaca, King Of Lazy, S.H.A.S., Ramblin’ Roze, Basement Queen, Banyan River, Rude Gove, HallucinGod, Demon& Eleven Children, Desert Boogie Dorama, Crater and Harrison Hertz cropped up all over China, these bands are different in styles, and are still performing live shows, some of which have released music of high quality. At the same time, new songs from many new groups are in rehearsal and production. On the 4 th of May, 2024, Sun Moon Holy Cult, a band founded by Chinese expats living in Japan, attracted attention from around the globe with their self-titled EP. As genres, Stoner, Sludge, Doom, and Heavy Psych are still new to the Chinese audience, but it has become a niche music scene that thrives on their uniqueness. – Words by DuoLiu (SloomWeep Productions): https://sloomweepproductions.bandcamp.com/
