Stoned Karma is a very prolific French Psychedelic Rock/Stoner band active since 2017 with numerous releases including singles, EPs and Full-lengths. The new EP “Age Of Oblivion” was released on January 20, 2022 and contains 5 medium-length tracks, totaling approximately 23 minutes. The opener “Age Of Oblivion Part I” which is the first part of the title track, presents an intro with a very dilated and enveloping guitar sobority. The rhythmic session is slow and pachydermic, with the guitar melodies layering and enveloping us with an acidic atmosphere. “Age Of Oblivion Part II” continues with the slow pacing of drumming and the acid intertwining of the guitars that stratify and captivate the listener making us travel with the mind. The shorter track on the album “Black Sky’s Shadow” features a rhythmic session that moves slowly, leaving room for the guitar to intertwine and layered. The journey through the band’s lysergic sounds continues, with a repeated and leading hypnotic bass. “For Those About To Fly” further slows down the rhythm and continues the exploration of guitar sounds and with a hypnotic and deep bass line again. Closes the EP “Sorrow” which is also the longest track, but also the slowest, which follows the musical discourse undertaken in the previous ones. The guitar is at the center of the sound and evolves continuously by layering and adding more and more effects. A work characterized by the Psychedelic and Acid sounds of the band taken to the extreme. The guitar embroideries are at the center of the sound, characterized by repeated and hypnotic bass lines and a slow and pachydermic drumming. A listening recommended for lovers of modern Psychedelic sounds, permeated with Desert Rock, with enveloping sounds and rich guitar textures.
