Search For Elite Heavy Albums 

Released: 2025 Genre: Psychedelic, Progressive rock, Punk Sounds Like: King Gizzard, Frankie and the Witch Fingers Homeland: Switzerland What makes Liminality elite and sit atop OHMs Peak? FOMIES excel at blending modern psychedelic rock with their unique style of quirky yet highly catchy trippy fuzz punk. The tracks 'Colossus I,' 'Colossus II,' and 'Colossus III' are intricately connected, creating the potential for a single 12-minute piece. At times, you might catch influences reminiscent of early King Gizzard, Thee Oh Sees, or even DEVO, but rest assured, FOMIES are genuine and possess their own unique personality. The production isn't overly polished, yet it's clear, with each instrument highlighted, showcasing their raw talent. It's a must-have on vinyl. Track Listing: The Onion Man 5:04 Reflections 3:02 The Pull 3:17 Colossus I 4:12 Colossus II 3:58 Colossus III 4:56 Pause Cigarette 6:24 Neon Gloom 3:35 Blurred Sight 4:12 Happiness Relay 2:30 Secluded 5:06 Upheaval 4:59 Dive deeper into Liminality with our Q&A with FOMIES. OHMs Peak: Would love for a brief glimpse into your process and time commitment in making the album. FOMIES: For the process, we work essentially with jams that we record on rehearsal. Sometimes riffs are brought in, but most of the ideas come from the jams. Then we rework them into a complete song and make demos with them. We don't know how long we spent creating the album, but we spent about a week in Leysin, Switzerland, recording it. Fun fact, we started the recording on Monday with Patrick, our keyboard player, falling down a staircase, a nice fall, a nice backflip, nothing broken ! OHMs Peak: What was your band’s most memorable live performance? Where was it held and why was the night so special? FOMIES: We've had some great gigs, but I'd say the one that stands out the most is the Bad Bonn Kilbi gig. We've never played in front of so many people (3000), and on the main stage, it was really incredible.  The audience was super receptive ! We felt like playing in a stadium. We were also pretty stressed before the show, and Jacob, our bassist, wanted to play in a dress, but 2 minutes before going on stage it broke, so he had to change quickly, super timed, very fun haha. Mention should also be made of our concert at Facciamo La Corte in Ticino, near Lugano in Switzerland. Great festival in a small village, we played in a garden. People were crazy that night, climbing everywhere, stage dives, mosh pits, we couldn't do an encore because of the police, so we put on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, The Shire's music, we really liked this moment. OHMs Peak: What band NOT in your genre would you love to tour with that would most compliment your sound? FOMIES: Howard Shore1. OHMs Peak: We would love any insight as to your current and upcoming tour plans.  FOMIES: We'll be touring in Switzerland and France, and we'll also be playing our first show in Germany! We've just started working with a European agency called PøjPøj, so we're likely to get a few more gigs in Europe! We're also super happy to be playing at Festi'Neuch in Neuchâtel this year! We'll be playing just before Idles, so that should be fun!. We have also a little dream: to play on the beach at Beaches Brew in Italy, but that's not really up to us unfortunately. OHMs Peak: Your band is stranded on an island with only a solar powered turntable and majestic powered solar blue tooth speakers. The band collectively can only choose one album. Which album to you agree to? FOMIES: Easy, Face Stabber by Oh Sees ! These guys... the best of the best..

Released: 2025 Genre: Stoner rock, Sludge Sounds Like: Slomantics, Telekentic Yeti, Geezer Homeland: Bristol, UK What makes Metamorphosis elite and sit atop OHMs Peak? Metamorphosis delivers a rich blend of stoner-infused sludge grounded in a bluesy base. Vocalist Benjamin 'Frodlord' Oak is at the peak of his performance. His impressive vocal range, spanning from trippy clean tones to sludge/death, is a major highlight of this album. The production features a rich, unrefined sound that truly encapsulates their swampy metal vibe. Track Listing: Collision 4:31 Follow The Star 4:00 Herman 3:50 The Swamp 3:52 Cryptids 4:10 Mutation 5:26 Emergence of The Toad 7:50 Sweet Emotion 4:18 Dive deeper into Metamorphosis with our Q&A with Froglord. OHMs Peak: Has Froglord evolved into a four-piece band? Has Ben integrated more collaboration on ‘Metamorphosis’ with Jordan, Luke and Chris? Froglord: It's slowly becoming less of a one-frog operation over time. Myself and our guitarist Caudata, wrote a couple of the tracks on Metamorphosis together. But I think, even the tracks I have written myself have been heavily influenced by the rest of the Swamp Priests. Playing together so much, it's impossible not to take inspiration as they are all incredible musicians in their own write. OHMs Peak: Metamorphosis s a unique story that builds beautifully into ‘Emergence of the Toad’ (our favorite track). We love the concept approach and aura of what you do. How did the amphibian passion come about ten years ago and what does the toad perspective have in store for the future? Froglord: The amphibian seems to be a creature that have followed me around through various phases of my life. It's never been anything intentional. Only after writing the second album in 2021, did actually make the connection. I've always had an environmental background both academically and professionally, but I think it was first back in 2012, that I first got involved frog-related work, running a charity event for Save The Frogs at my college. In terms of the future of Froglord, the concept story has been mapped out for years now, so there's no shortage of froglore to build on. OHMs Peak: How has Froglord approached live performances previously being a one-person entity? Any tour plans on the horizon and potential to hit the US? Froglord: It was definitely a process at first of learning to let go, and let the rest of the Priests evolve the music as the live shows grew, giving it their own spin. I've been very fortunate though to find a group who share my vision for the band, while at the same time being happy with myself driving the ship - so to speak. We've just finished up a tour of the UK, and have a good number shows left in 2025. The next big step is really to get out into Europe. We'd absolutely love to be in a position one day where we able to get out to the US, for now we will keep growing the power of the swamp in hopes of one be able to tour internationally. OHMs Peak: What band NOT in the sludge metal and stoner genre would you love to tour with that would most compliment your sound?  Froglord: Anyone whose been to our show, knows how high energy they are and the emphasis we place on stage design and ritual. To see Froglord live is like wondering lost in a swamp, stumbling across a crazed cult our amphibious worshippers. If we could tour with someone outside of our genre, we'd love for it to be someone who also shares that stage presence, something akin to Heilung or Batushka! OHMs Peak: Absolutely love the album art from Dylan Davis. How did the beautiful creation come about? Froglord: Dylan did an incredible job, we're so happy with the artwork he produced! The process first begun when I was in the bathroom of Helgi's in London, after Masters of The Riff festival last year. If you've had the fortune of going, you'll know the dingy bathrooms well haha. They are covered wall to wall in vintage 70's occult porn mags. There was one picture that really stuck with me that had this powerful supernatural feel. I sketched it from memory a few days later, sent it off to Dylan, and he worked his magic. OHMs Peak: Love the gumption to close the album with a cover track. It’s a great take on the Aerosmith classic ‘Sweet Emotion’. Are they a favorite band of yours? What’s your favorite Aerosmith album? Froglord: They're a pretty regular spin in the van when on tour. There wasn't a great deal of thought that went behind it to be totally honest. We were playing it in the van on the way back from a show, and something about the riff, if I could just hear through a Behringer Super Fuzz and heavy vocals. It's tough to pick a favourite album, probably the self titled, or Toys in The Attic . OHMs Peak: Froglord is stranded on an island with only a solar powered turntable and majestic powered solar blue tooth speakers. The band collectively can only choose one album. Which album to you agree to? Froglord: Its gonna be a toss up between Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe or a Tool record. I doubt we could ever come to a mutual decision haha!.

Released: 2025 Genre: Psychedelic rock, Stoner rock Sounds Like: Mad Season, Stonekind Homeland: Vienna, Austria What makes Arrows of Time elite and sit atop OHMs Peak? Torpedo Torpedo has produced a timeless album rich with intense psychedelia, elements of stoner rock, and deep lyrics. Guitarist David Hüttner's vocals possess a distinctive, down-to-earth, gritty Bono-like quality that truly defines the band's identity. The production is sharp yet not overly refined. With its heavy, precise riffs and deep percussion, this album creates a wall of soundscapes when cranked! Track Listing: Calmar 6:03 False Gods And Lurid Skies 3:48 Ambra 3:49 Hell Below 6:54 Ubatuba 5:12 Templates of Utopia 4:31 Fade 5:22 Solstice 6:28 Dive deeper into Arrows of Time with our Q&A with band members drummer Marian Waibl from Torpedo Torpedo. OHMs Peak: Would love for a brief glimpse into your process and time commitment in making the album . . Marian: It has certainly been a long, complex and organic process! While some of the songs featured on “Arrows of Time” were already pretty much finished when our first EP “The Kuiper Belt Mantras” came out, others took form in the rehearsal room in the past two years while jamming and developing the jam material … and some even pretty late, quite close to the recording session for “Arrows of Time”! So you could say: There is no specific formula, the creative spark comes when it likes, and you need sensitivity and patience to catch it! After the basic live recordings where finished, we spent quite some time with overdubs, some barely audible, but we think they are very important to create a special atmosphere! The mixing and mastering process also took quite a long time, as it plays a big part in how the whole sound comes out in the end. It’s a form of art as well. OHMs Peak: While all 8 tracks are brilliantly woven, ‘Hell Below’ is an absolute juggernaut in our eyes. We would love to hear more about the making and vision behind this eerie track and its potential reference of WWII? Marian: First of all, "Hell Below" isn't about war, but rather a hymn to the solar system and the uniqueness of our planet. All the other planets in our system are much closer to what a human would describe as hell. The lines in the quiet chorus, "To the eye of a storm...", refer to the red spot on Jupiter, which is actually a gigantic storm, one and a half times the size of Earth, which is impressive. But we also like to keep our lyrics open to interpretation. So you could also consider this the dark side of the human psyche. We can all sometimes imagine what hell is like, where a lot of bad things happen. OHMs Peak: What was your band’s most memorable live performance? Where was it held and why was the night so special? Marian: Maybe the one we did with Nightstalker from Greece, which had a great turnout, vibe and response! OHMs Peak: What band NOT in your genre would you love to tour with that would most compliment your sound? Marian: Maybe Aphex Twin, if they presented “Selected Ambient Works Vol. II”? Just great, great atmospheres and strangeness! Looks like we can all agree on this – but a possible alternative would be Ratos de Porão, Punk from Brazil. OHMs Peak: We would love any insight as to your current and upcoming tour plans?  Marian: Now that our album has been released, we are certainly looking into options to play live more, probably not a longer tour, but smaller series of gigs and especially open-air events – festivals would be awesome! We keep getting request to play quite remote places, which is great, and hopefully possible someday, but for now, we’d be really happy to get around more in our closer area, like Germany, the Czech Republic and the likes. So, if you know somebody who might be interested, please hit us up! OHMs Peak: Who created the album art and how did the process come about? Its soft captivating landscape yet unique otherworldly images seems to fit so well with your dark yet majestic sound? Marian: The artwork is by David, and Marian designed the layout and geometric illustrations. On the cover, each vignette represents a song from the album. The one with the palm trees and jaguars, for example, represents Ubatuba, the one with the burning planet represents Hell Below, and so on. For us, there's a strong connection between visual art and music; both are part of our vision. They're both like an emotional state, they support each other and give us and the songs identity. OHMs Peak: Your band is stranded on an island with only a solar powered turntable and majestic powered solar blue tooth speakers. The band collectively can only choose one album. Which album to you agree to? Marian: Looks like we could agree on something by Dead Meadow, perhaps the album “Feathers” – it is just fantastic, what a great blend of heaviness, melancholy, and energy!
