Heavy psych proggerne i Mondo Drag (feat. John Gamiño fra Blood Incantation) besøger Stengade sammen med doom og heavy metal bandet Early Moods d. 13 oktober!

Mondo Drag:
Heavy psychedelic / progressive rock band Mondo Drag was formed in Davenport, Iowa. The group released its debut album, New Rituals, on Alive Naturalsound Records on January 26, 2010.

Their equally trippy, seven-track follow-up features Zack Anderson on bass and Cory Berry on drums, both former members of Radio Moscow and founders of Blues Pills.

Between the recording of the album in 2012 and its release on Kozmik Artifactz in Spring 2015, the band relocated to Oakland, CA where a third rhythm section of bassist Andrew O'Neil and drummer Ventura Garcia joined the band.

Shortly after the release of the self-titled album, the band signed to RidingEasy Records where they quickly released the album stateside and began working on their next LP, The Occultation Of Light.

The Occultation Of Light was recorded in San Francisco, CA and released February 25, 2016. Following the release, the band heavily toured the US and Europe in support of it.

After a years long hiatus due to covid and personnel changes, the band announced the release of their fourth studio album "Through The Hourglass" which was released September 15th, 2023 on RidingEasy Records.

+ Early Moods:
Early Moods’ sophomore album A Sinner’s Past is the ultimate dosage of classic early 70s proto-metal, 90s grunge riffing and timeless songwriting delivered with an explosive youthful energy.

The Los Angeles area quartet burst onto the scene fully formed with a sound that somehow simultaneously merged gritty underground Street Doom with slick “big box” Heavy Metal melodies on their self-titled RidingEasy debut album in 2022. And it’s the band’s highly skilled musicianship paired with exquisite aesthetic taste — in addition to their killer live show — that has made them an immediate popular favorite.

A Sinner’s Past takes those elements several steps higher with a nod to Soundgarden’s huge sonic depth, the low-mid fuzz drenched tones of Sabotage and classic 70s melodies and structures of Ulli Roth-era Scorpions. The latter in particular inspiring the album’s intricate tonal shifts and shimmering twin leads.

“I’m very proud of these songs,” says guitarist Eddie Andrade. “We did a lot of different things, took a lot of chances and show a lot of growth, and I think people will pick up on it. I was trying to use more open chords, not the typical styles. We came off touring with Candlemass and Pentagram, sharing those shows with our heroes really pumped us up. We went into the studio just hungry to record.”

Early Moods was founded in 2015 by Andrade and vocalist/keyboardist Alberto Alcaraz after a few years of playing in thrash and death metal projects before the two realized that the classic doom that they’d grown up with was what they really wanted to explore. Going through a few lineup changes while delving deeper into the diverging influences that were calling, Early Moods arrived at the sound and lineup that grew their fanbase locally. The band released their debut EP Spellbound in 2020 on German label Dying Victim Productions, followed by their self-titled debut full length on RidingEasy Records in 2023. Early Moods is Oscar Hernandez on lead guitar, Chris Flores on drums, Elix Felciano on bass, Alcaraz on vocals/synth and Andrade on guitar.
