Our Take

In the vast sonic landscape of stoner rock, where fuzz reigns supreme and riffs are king, Cities of Mars have emerged as a beacon of interstellar groove. Their self-titled album is a cosmic odyssey through time and space, taking listeners on a journey through the barren Martian deserts and beyond.

From the moment the fuzz-drenched guitars kick in on opening track "Hydrahead," it's clear that Cities of Mars are on a mission to melt faces and expand minds. The interplay between the band members is tight, with each member contributing their own unique flair to the sound. Drummer Johan Küchler lays down a thunderous foundation, while bassist Danne Palm brings a thick, rumbling low end that anchors the music in the depths of space.

Vocalist Christoffer Norén's ethereal croons soar over the swirling guitars, adding a hauntingly melodic touch to the band's heavy sound. Tracks like "Bleeding Spirits" and "The Last Electric Dream" showcase the band's ability to blend power and emotion in equal measure, creating a captivating listening experience that is both mesmerising and headbang-worthy.

Overall, Cities of Mars have crafted a debut album that is as ambitious as it is heavy. With its blend of crushing riffs, atmospheric synths, and otherworldly vocals, this is a journey you won't want to miss. So buckle up, blast off, and prepare to be taken to the outer reaches of the cosmos with Cities of Mars.

About the artist

Cities of Mars

With a sound that's as heavy as a neutron star and as captivating as a black hole, CITIES OF MARS are not your average doom metal band. Hailing from Sweden, this power trio has been making waves in the underground scene since their formation in 2015. Lead vocalist and guitarist Dan Pettersson's haunting vocals and massive riffs are perfectly complemented by Johan Küchler's thunderous bass lines and Johan Nordin's hard-hitting drumming. Together, they create a sonic landscape that is as vast and desolate as the red planet itself. Drawing inspiration from science fiction, mythology, and the mysteries of the cosmos, CITIES OF MARS weave epic tales of space travel, ancient civilizations, and cosmic horrors into their music. Their lyrics are as thought-provoking as they are chilling, exploring themes of isolation, paranoia, and existential dread. But don't let their cosmic soundscapes fool you – CITIES OF MARS know how to bring the thunder live. Their performances are a mesmerising blend of raw energy and otherworldly atmosphere, leaving audiences in a state of awe and admiration. If you're a fan of bands like Electric Wizard, Sleep, or YOB, then CITIES OF MARS are sure to be your new favourite obsession. With their latest album "The Horologist," they have proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of doom metal. So, strap in, turn up the volume, and get ready to embark on a journey through the cosmos with CITIES OF MARS. They're the sonic equivalent of a supernova – explosive, intense, and utterly mesmerising.
