The Xroadie Files

The Second Coming Of Heavy Chapter 9 – Cortez & Wasted Theory

Cortez – Matt – Vocals, Scott – Guitar, Alasdair – Guitar, Jay – Bass, Alexei – Drums

The Firmament slow melodic melancholic guitar and trippy vocals just relax and enjoy the ride as it slowly grows heavier. Close grab a beer kick back and watch the band play as you move to the catchy music. Fog Of Whores is more of a fist in the air stoner rock classic style with loads of emotion. Stormbringer is an excellent version of the deep Purple classic get ready to rock.

Wasted Theory – Brenden Burns, Larry Jackson Jr, Andrew Petkovic

Ditch Pig slow and heavy with tons of reverb then a get up and fist pump as you sing along song. Abominatrix foot stomping fist pumping, get up and groove heavy metal. Baptized In Gasoline slow stoner blues hard rock that picks up the tempo as it goes back and forth. Heresy Driver fast get in your car crank up the tunes and jam on down the road music.

Second Coming of Heavy; Ch. 9 | Split album from Cortez and Wasted Theory

Ripple Music announce the release of their penultimate instalment in their Second Coming of Heavy Series | Split album from Cortez and Wasted Theory

“For record collectors who coo over coloured vinyl and artwork deserving of a place on the wall, the Second Coming of Heavy series is a fine example of how stoner, doom and psych is leading the way in offering the full package.”
Metal Hammer

The Second Coming of Heavy; Chapter IX is released on vinyl on 21st September 2018

Already recognised as one of the world’s leading purveyors of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Stoner, Doom and Heavy Psych, Ripple Music upped the ante in 2015 with the arrival of one of their most ambitious projects to date, The Second Coming of Heavy Series.

Serving as a showcase for some of the best and heaviest bands emerging from the underground, each instalment shines a light on those worthy of your attention. Consisting of one, 12” slab of multi-coloured vinyl with full colour sleeves and inserts, the series is designed to be saved and treasured, much like a fine anthology of books. When the albums are filed next to each other, the complete collection of aligned spines form a mind-blowing image direct from the underground.

Bands that have already featured in the series include Geezer, Borracho, Supervoid, RED DESERT, Kingnomad, BoneHawk, Red Mesa, Fuzz Evil, Switchblade Jesus plus a whole host of others. For this latest instalment it’s the turn of Boston-based, fuzzed out rock and rollers Cortez and American Weed Rock supremos, Wasted Theory.

The Second Coming Of Heavy; Chapter IX will get an official vinyl release on 21st September 2018 and is limited to 300 copies in three alternative versions (100 of each) – The Resurrection Edition, The Risen OBI and The Ascension Edition.

More praise for Ripple Music’s The Second Coming Of Heavy series:

“Ripple Music is fast becoming the label of choice for good old fashioned heavy metal. They have released some great albums over the past twelve months, their latest being this split release featuring Supervoid and Red Desert […] two great bands and another great release from Ripple.”
Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine

“I’ve long thought that The Second Coming Of Heavy series was one of the coolest things happening among a flock of cool things that Ripple Music has going on. The latest submission to this series, appropriately titled The Second Coming Of Heavy: Chapter 2 is a split between Supervoid and Red Desert. Featuring the fuzzed out tones that make so much of this classic rock and roll stuff so worthwhile, these two bands prove that they both deserve a place in a scene crowded by posers and chumps.”
Two Guys Metal Reviews

“Ripple Music believes we are in the midst of a heavy rock renaissance. Two editions deep, they’ve already highlighted a range of styles and a swath of acts from around different regions of the US brought together by their varied takes on what it means to be heavy. There’s a lot of ground to cover, and the project remains ambitious, but taking it one LP at a time, there seems to be nothing keeping the label from continuing this exploration and enlightening listeners as they go.”
The Obelisk
