Dozer ...keeping Sweden on the radar since 1995. (singer, bass, rock)

Merkaba · 02-24-2007, 02:18 AM

Another stoner rock band; these guys have been active since 1995, and were apparently born out of sheer boredom. Frankly, I'm stoked they had nothing better to do.

They've released 5 albums plus a couple of splits and demo's. All their albums have received huge praise from those with their reviewing caps on. According to the author of their Wiki page, most of their fanbase has been generated from their live shows, in excess of 300 shows with plenty of tours supporting various bands such as Clutch, Mastodon, Rollins Band, Spiritual Beggars, Unida, Nebula.

I have Universe 75, a set of 6 early demo songs, which is just brilliant. I also have Through the Eyes of Heathens, their latest effort (2005) which has a fairly different sound. Equally as good however.

I strongly recommend checking these guys out. Strong as in, a band everyone should hear at least once, even if stoner generally isn't your thing.

I'll up a couple of songs. x's to t's, enjoy

I've been a fan since around 2000-ish. Really good band.

Not something I'd listen to on a regular basis but yea they're real good.

pretty good, the guitar riffs sound a lot like RAGE, can barely hear the singer, though

Lol I've been disagreeing with everyone lately, over who sounds like what, I can't hear any Ratm, Toolguy.

Maybe I need to get my ears checked.

But yes, the vocals are very mellow on some tracks, I like it though, it creates a more mellow disposition than the opposite style of crooning over the top of some very dense bass & guitar.

for some reason the vocals remind me a little bit of whats-his-face from RHCP
