Poly-Instrumental Audio Trouvé Improv Jamanetics

REVIEWS: 
The Obelisk: 
"...This is what it’s all about. Four longer-form instrumentalist heavy psych jams that are warm in tone and want nothing so much as to go out wandering and see what they can find."

Never Mind The Hype - album review (Dutch): 
"...Met zo’n drie kwartier aan muziek is Heliosphere dus een prachtig werkstuk geworden. Hoe je het ook wendt of keert: dit album is simpelweg gaaf, met stoere riffs, een vettige productie en verrassend pakkende songwriting."

BIOGRAPHY: 
With strong roots in stoner and space rock, three-man formation Mantra Machine creates instrumental psychedelic jams. A dynamic mix of heavy guitars, fuzzing bass and grooving drums immersed in layered synth soundscapes. 

The band hit the ground running in 2012 during their debut at the Sonic Rock Solstice festival in England and quickly released a first EP Stage One. Two years later the full-length release Nitrogen followed. The album received many positive reviews and was picked up worldwide by various blogs and music sites. 

In 2016 an invitation for the Roadburn Festival followed, they played at Yellowstock in Belgium and did a mini tour through Germany and Austria. 

In 2019 a second album Heliosphere was released on which the instrumental journey into the unknown continues with room for new sounds, drawn-out compositions and unexpected turns. The album is available through Bandcamp, Spotify and other channels. 

The album Heliosphere is written and performed by: 

Paul Geerts: guitars & synths 
Eric Frantzen: bass 
Jeroen Schippers: drums 

Engineered, mixed, produced & mastered by Steven van der Werff & Mantra Machine at Studio Mono. 

Artwork designed by Jonas Louisse.

If you’re looking for drive, groove and great riffs from Nijmegen Rockcity you should definitely check out Emperors. Emperors are a stonerrock group who have been playing music on those terms since 2005.

These guys , made of stone, marble and granite, started off in 2005 playing covers of bands like Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Blind Dog as “Emperors of the Black”. In the year 2010 the creativity itch could no longer be ignored and Emperors started to write and play their own songs. 

Now they play their very own kind of Stonerrock; Hard as stone, subtle where possible yet aggressive where it should be. Heavy groovy music with a sharp edge which still reveals influences from Emperors’ musical heroes .

ANALOG GROOVES - PSYCHEDELIC ELECTRO - GARAGE DISCO

Listening to The Incredible Stacks makes you wonder; How can three guys extemporizing on such vintage sixties and seventies equipment sound so modern and unconventional, so catchy and danceable!?

There‘s nothing extraneous. Just the jagged interplay of a chukka-chukka guitar, a screaming organ, bumping bass, and stuttering, thundering drums. The live set has a structure more similar to what a Dance DJ would do than to that of a Rock band - the beat just goes on and on. It‘s all about rhythm, dancing, irresistible grooves, catchy riffs and musical tension. Sometimes you would swear a dance record is on. But it‘s still them. Completely analog. No samples, no laptops, no sequencers.
