One to one and I'm feeling fine
The perfect ratio expands my mind
A bag of shrooms and a forest stage
Heightened perception through a wizard's gaze
One to one
Forfeit the sun
Lost in the weeds
My mind it bleeds
Eight feet tall and he walks like a man
Covered in hair with big feet and big hands
Feared and respected by the ancient ones
Altered consciousness has begun
One to one
Forfeit the sun
Lost in the weeds
My mind it bleeds
Sorcerer's apprentice will break on through
Another dimension of alternate views
Fruit of the gods helps lift the veil
Ancient mycelium reveals strange tails
One to one
Forfeit the sun
Lost in the weeds
My mind it bleeds

If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back...

A stoner-rock opera with dystopian themes, the Italian band's third LP fuses apocalyptic fury with psychedelic splendor. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2023
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
Faerie Ring return and so does the RIFF, all caps. Faerie Ring take what would be a cookie cutter riff from anyone else and just JUICE it so thoroughly, with passion and energy and melodic interest and the all-important rhythmic groove (much more important to a good stoner riff than loud fuzz), that it just blows out your speaker and makes you mean mug. Guaranteed. I loved the wacky sounds they created in the studio that really push this over the edge from great into bonkers-great. pinkytheent
