Pretty sure I've posted the other two singles they've put out so far for the new upcoming album. This is my fav tune off any of their releases so far and it was the first single for the new one. His singing reminds me a lot of Danny from Voyager.
Honestly so does the bands entire style is very similar.

Man. I liked the first tune a lot until the screaming vocals. I'm oddly particular about what vocals I like and don't. Everything else about that tune was cool as hell though.

These guys are really unique. Singer reminds me of Fink on that tune. They kind of seem like a very hit or miss band for me. The stuff I like, I really like. The other stuff is a bit meh. That tune was awesome.
For reference [Fink]:

It just depends on the screaming. Like the dude from Orbit Cultures scream/growls are awesome. I could listen to them all day.

For some reason I decided to listen to this today (again, I've listened many times for years). Most people know it as Leakspin, but Leakspin is just the loop of this performance of Ievan Polkka by Loituma. I always am just impressed by this performance. Their subdued showmanship really lets their singing take front stage.
Don't look up the English translation, it's surprisingly adult.

Best shows you've been to? Here's mine.
Tool (always)... they never dissapoint.
Sevendust opening for Metallica.
Isis opening for Tool.
System of a Down at X fest. It might have been edge fest then I don't remember. Tons of fun. Slipknot mud fight was memorable too.
Sevendust is such an underrated band, they're great. And I don't think many have even heard Isis. So good
Edit. Honorable mention to Kiss and Skid Row, that show rocked

6. Yngwie Malmsteen on Sweden Rock Festival. I was bawling like a baby from the get go through the whole concert. Yes, It was that good.
7. Talisman, several concerts. A true super group. Do yourself a favour, check them out. A tragic end to their story though.
8. UFO Sweden Rock, late 2010 with Michael Schenker.
9. Michael Schenker, Sticky Fingers Gothenburgh. I was standing in front of him the whole concert, singing along. He shoock my hand afterwards. Didn't wash my hand for weeks. Don't judge me.
10. Spiritual Beggars, Laxön Halmstad Sweden. I was the promotor for this gig. People turned up from Germany and I didn't even promote the gig except for locally aoround the town.
Epic night in my life. All of the beers sold out in about a half hour and I had to call the local brewery for help. They are my best friends now.
f***ing whoa. This album is a meaty slab of doom/stoner. Singer BRINGS it, she's very good and the bass/fuzz is awesome

This is my best friend since 1987, Stefan Persson. Not to be confused by the four time Stanley Cup winning defender for the New York Islanders 1980-83.
We shared so many good and not so good times over the years. We always stuck together.
I just think he's worth some recognising. He's never going to make it big, but I always supported him and his bands.
I know for sure MK9 is not going to like his vocals, but there's an outside chance Soldier13Fox might stomage it.
Either way, give him a thumbs up because I think he deserves it.
I mean, 38 views... he deserves more.

Like the song. Can't say I've ever heard a stoner band with a female singer. But, it was good.
Stoner metal is another very hit or miss for me. Baroness has some great tunes, but there isn't an album of theirs I that I like more than 2 or 3 songs or so on. But, ASG, I like about 95% of everything they've done.
Here's my dumb, odd, nitpicky beef with that Sidewinder song though, I've done a decent amount of music production and whoever did it did a poor job at getting the vocals to sit in the mix well. I get that most people likely aren't going to notice something like that. Probably even if you pointed it out to them. They probably also wouldn't care once you did.
And again, it is a dumb, nitpicky thing, but it stuck out enough to me that I couldn't un-hear it in the video.Speaking of ASG. Love these guys. Their tunes always seem to have a cool flow & groove to them.

100% on the genre in general. The stoner stuff that i like .... I really like. But it's few and far between. ASG are good. Baroness is a few good songs every album. Regarding the mix, i am in no way an expert or know anything about mastering/mixing an album... but this sidewinder stuff sounds to my novice ears like they understand their vocalists is the star of the show. So they bring the vox way put in front, lay it on the bass fuzz, and then guitars and drums play a back seat. I honestly really like it.

Eh, it's likely just a pretty well done home recording. The instruments in most cases can be leveled and generally sound like they go together. Just sounds like whoever did the mixing just didn't put a compressor on the full recording. For years, it was something I could never figure out why certain stems didn't sit well, sounded odd and a bit out of place (and it was almost always the vocals). Putting a compressor on the full mix tames the transients (high & low spikes), smooths it all out and kind of glues the whole thing together. Was a massive revelation when I found out and started using it. Just pushes the end result to a new level of polished sound.
