Monolith interviews Swedish fuzzrockers Truckfighters: http://www.monolith.gr/interviews/html/truckfighters.html
The band's new album "Gravity X" will be released in Germany and Austria on June 13 via Soulfood and in Benelux on May 30 via Suburban.

Today's mp3 comes from Truckfighters off of their new album "Gravity X", due out April 11. It sounds exactly like what you'd expect from a label called Fuzzorama Records: huge walls of big muff guitars and tons of heavy monster riffs. When it comes to stoner rock, most people instantly think of Queens of the Stone Age and there are some definite similarities here. However, Truckfighers are way heavier and they tend to bury their vocals (and pop sensibilities) to keep the focus on the guitars. There is definitely crossover appeal, but that's not what they're about. They also have a much stronger classic metal influence - this particular song doesn't do it too much, but there's tons of excellent dual guitar harmonies all over the record. Oh, and plenty of Black Sabbath-influenced jam breaks. My favorite part about this track is the way that final hypnotic riff just keeps going on and on and on. It's almost enough to make me want to start smoking weed again. Crank it!

The aptly-named Fuzzorama Records has posted another mp3 soundclip from the upcoming Truckfighters album "Gravity X", this time from the song "Momentum". Check it: http://www.fuzzoramarecords.com/songs/Gravity/Momentum.mp3
The album comes out April 11.

Check out a clip of the song "Gargarismo" from Truckfighters off their forthcoming full-length album "Gravity X": http://www.fuzzoramarecords.com/songs/Gravity/Gargarismo.mp3
It's due out in April via Fuzzorama Records.
