Song Recommendation: “Origin of Time” by Stonecult (2025)

There’s not much info out there about Georgia (the country, not the US state) based musicians Stonecult and their fiery brand of instrumental stoner rock: an instagram page, links to streaming sites, a jam on youtube…But I’m hoping it’s the sign of a brand new band who feel they don’t have anything to prove and not that they intend to never put more out there because, damn if this 15 minute single isn’t a fantastic calling card. The production is immaculate, for one, with the bass in particular sounding so heavy and twangy at the same time. And while it lacks vocals, the personalities of the players still come through via expressive solos and the overall sci-fi atmosphere of the thing. I really can’t wait to see more.
