Nebula

Apollo is the Nebula 4th full lenght released in 2006. Heavy Psych Sounds is proud to reissue this album in brand new coloured vinyl versions.

“'Blues rock' has been invented over and over again and Nebula are the persistent 'stoner' gale though 'Apollo' is only their fourth album in seven years. Labelled under many old styles, Nebula's blasts from the past yet offer more fresh new party crackers.

The Nebula sound is drenched in oily sonics dug up from Muddy Waters and on 'Apollo', Nebula don't shy away from resemblances among others to Rory Gallagher and Slade. Grunge parents and their children will love this album to bits.

One of 2006's highlights will prove to be this Nebula track called 'Future Days' from this truly intoxicating 'Apollo' album. Though 'Apollo' is fairly consistent, a few tracks stand out because of the immediate appeal - to be specific that's the 10/10 note down in my book. 'Apollo' is in fact the epitome of retro but the album leaves no room for any further discussions of the past.

'Future Days' features the bleating of sheep melted in to some of the most gorgeous guitar licks of today. Spoiling you with superlatives with good reason; 'Apollo' includes both the method for an off-licence brain surgery as well as the means for a fully registered permit to go ape. You just won't get an easier lobotomy than from 'Apollo'.

The music may go back 30 years or more but through some magical mystery resurfaces with excellence. If the demand is for blues, rock, stoner or whatever comes off strings, skins and from throats, then Nebula probably play that type of joyful sleaze better than any other band these days.”

HEAVY PSYCH is Nebula fifth album released in 2009. Heavy Psych Sounds is reissuing this gem in brand new coloured vinyls.

Album opener ‘Pulse’ is the quick, necessary burn of waste paper at the very tip of the joint; in itself, wholly unremarkable, but nonetheless enthralling purely on the basis that it leads the way to much, much better things. Phased guitarscapes, and hollow, echoing vocals, swirling in misshapen musical clouds that breeze through ‘The Dagger’ and just as that first real hit of Morocco’s finest clamps onto your grey matter, ‘Aphrodite’ kicks in. Dirty, sleazy and sexual, Eddie Glass’ whiskey soaked and strained voice oozes between caterwauling guitars and incessant, bludgeoning kick drums — the part of the joint you savour the most; the reward and further promise combining in a moment of sheer perfection.

Atomic Ritual is the Nebula 3rd full lenght released in 2003. Produced by Chris Goss (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss) at Lawnmower Studios. Heavy Psych Sounds is proud to reissue this gem in brand new coloured vinyl versions.

“Stoner rock? Bonghit metal? Old school hard rock? Call it what ya want, but it is clear from the first 3 seconds of Nebula’s Atomic Ritual that these guys have been listening to a lot of Hawkwind! Droning, heavy, fuzzy and flat-out rockin’ as fuck, Nebula’s latest slab is more conceptual than their previous effort, but no less pulverizing. Produced by Master of Reality (and Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss mentor) Chris Goss, Atomic Ritual is the bands most layered, bold work to date and finds them veering closer to the headfuck ethos of early Monster Magnet than the indie classic rock they ventured into on their Sub Pop effort. The title track and “Out Of Your Head” are just pure space rock, while “Carpe Diem,” “So It Goes” and “More” balance out the cosmic slop with some hooks and melody. None of this is gonna get the on the radio, but one gets the feeling they could care less. So be it. All in all, a pleasing way to melt your brain.”

Desert Psychedelic Fuzzsters Nebula are back with an incredible new album!!
8 tracks of pure Fuzzness recorded by bass player Tom Davies and produced together with the mastermind Eddie Glass in the Mojave desert !
It's the classic Nebula sound: walls of guitars, riffs that come from outer space, melodic vocals matched with desert grooves...you couldn’t ask for more.

The band spent the last 6 months in the studio alone recording and mixing this new Psychedelic Stoner Rock gem!
TRANSMISSION FROM MOTHERSHIP EARTH is coming out on Heavy Psych Sounds Records July 22nd as the official soundtrack of your summer!

Nebula's first non-EP, full-length release, To the Center is another retro-psychedelic heavy rock platter, long on stripped-down riff muscle and surprisingly technically adept guitar jams. The results sometimes meander, which probably isn't of much consequence if this brand of metal is your bag, since this is what you'd expect in this perception-expanding context. What matters more than tightly structured songs are riffs and atmosphere, and both of those are present in abundance.

To the Center was released in 1999 on Sub Pop. The album has much more of a progressive/psychedelic sound to it than most of the band's other albums. Produced by Jack Endino & Nebula. Engineered by Jack Endino and ercorded at Hanzsek Audio, Seattle, April 1999.

Heavy Psych Sounds is now repressing this gem in new coloured vinyls.
