I thought there was a thread for this already?
Anyway, here's an interesting mix of Purple and Heep (Featuring Nick Walsh on vocals):

We can always use another Bandcamp thread!
Here's my page, if anyone wants to take a look at what I've bought, and I only buy what I like a LOT...
https://bandcamp.com/zzzptm
Freedom Hawk is *well* worth checking out, as the vocalist sounds a lot like Ozzy. Not that he's trying to, he just lucked out that way. The rest of the band is up to the task.

Cool page Z! Gonna check out all the stuff you've got on there.
My friend Joe D. has started a bandcamp page as well:

One thing I do wonder about is why some bands have all their stuff under their band page, some under label pages, and some seemingly withholding their latest stuff from bandcamp...

Wow, that was some fun stuff. Not exactly what I would have stumbled across on my own, so thanks for the reference!

I'll second that, JS. 8)

Here's one that caught my eye... Album title is "Looking For Today", so the fact that they're very Sabbath-influenced should be no surprise at all.

Sounds like the guy from the Swedish band Witchcraft on vocals, but this song slays!

Singer sounds like Josh Homme. I need more psychedelic style music like this in my life!

Third album from Ruby the Hatchet. Good female vocals, nice doom-space-heavy psych-heavy rock-stoner-70s influenced-Hammond Organ using-type sound. I think I'll give the rest of their catalog a listen.

Another great album from these guys. Their like a psychedelic Alice in Chains!

Mos Generator's latest, I think I'm finally ready to do a Bandcamp run.

GRAVEDIG TIME!
So here are two Bandcamp bands I want to tout:
Crazy Bull: https://crazybull.bandcamp.com/album/the-past-is-today
Some great guitar rock and the vocalist has a nice rasp in his voice. Great proto-metal sound out of Philly. The rock out at many tempos, lots of fun to listen to.
Godsleep: https://godsleep.bandcamp.com/album/coming-of-age-2
Another fine Greek band. Something's in the water over there, I tell ya. Great scene and this band knows what to do with it.
Both of these are in my Xmas Bandcamp shopping cart, along with the latest from Holy Grove and Deep Space Destructors.

Do you like Chris Cornell?

Good suggestion, JSC, I'm on it!

Thank you, I have been drinking the bandcamp kool-aid lately. I have been trying to support the lesser known artists that deserve it lately. I am working on my collection but it is nothing like yours ZZZ.

You can really load up on albums that are "name your price" cheap, I've found. :)
But I'll still pay normal price when the album is a solid piece of work.

Exactly what i was looking for! Finally a great find for myself!

Cool! I really like how we can listen through the album before making a decision.
I just picked up 17 albums for my holiday haul, going to go through all of what I bought this year and catch up on my reviews of them.

Classic Metal Guys, try this out. I have been listening to this quite a bit and its amazing! This would probably be my bandcamp album of the year.

^^ Was just gonna post in the best albums of 2018 thread how very little new bands catch my ear these days. But this is exactly what I've been looking for. Melodic with classic old school heavy riffage with a very listenable singer. Will be delving deeper into Haunt. Thanks for alerting me to this.
-
No problem Jack. I heard about this band through the doom metal band Beastmaker and ShadowKingdom records. One of my favorite labels because they release forgotten relics like the old Pagan Altar stuff.

If you find a YouTube channel that features the full album, chances are that channel will also have a ton of similar albums to flip through, which will expose more new bands.

Just became completely mesmerized by this band.
https://batushka.bandcamp.com/album/litourgiya
Maybe it’s my Catholic upbringing, I don’t know, but I sat and listened to the whole album (and I almost never do that).

Here's some fun instrumental doom from Emperor Guillotine:

Also, anyone else a fan of Big Business? I think this will be their best album! https://bigbigbusiness.bandcamp.com/album/the-beast-you-are

Got a steamin' hot plate of metal from Brazil: https://madmonkees.bandcamp.com/album/guerra
Their whole catalog is worth checking out.

Valley of the Sun's latest LP, "Old Gods"
Giving this album a first listen, thought I'd post as I played the tracks. Hopefully, I can finish before I have to start my first call of the day. :smug:
Several styles are evident on this album, all of them heavy. Opening title track, for example, is like "Sweet Leaf" mixed with "Planet Caravan" - hard, mid-tempo and spacey. Second track, "All We Are" gives us a savory bite of early 90s grunge, reminding me of Helmet's "Unsung", but with a nice guitar solo in there, but I think they could have done without the Millennial Whoop at the end.
Next track, "Gaia Creates" is a happy little instrumental with interplay between acoustic rhythm guitar and lead electric guitars. Little keyboard and light percussion features fill it out, much in the style of a quieter Allman Bros. track. Really pleasant feel to that one.
Heavy returns with the aggressive riff-happy "Dim Vision". It definitely hearkens back to early 2000s Fu Manchu, and that's a great thing, as sounding like "Hell on Wheels" is a compliment. Riffs give way to grooves for the chorus and this song clearly has a great engine pumping away under the hood. All cylinders in tune and driving it forward.
"Shiva Destroys" - percussion/drum instrumental. I guess they needed a drum solo in there, so here it is. Only 76 seconds, take it for what it is, a palette cleanser.
"Firewalker" - back to the hard, driving rock, but this one's more Seattle than California. Think Soundgarden's "Kickstand" in terms of hit and length.
Back to slower, spacier grooves with "Into the Abyss". If you move your head involuntarily to music, this one will bring on a slow nodding action, coupled possibly with a slight head tilt as you close your eyes to savor the textures and soundscapes. It gets loud in the middle and that works well for this piece. Nice, slow, spacey grunge that goes down smooth and sweet. Lovely phased guitar finish with bells to finish out the piece.
"Faith Is for Suckers" - starts off quiet, but edgy. As the title indicates, this isn't a track with a light touch. Not as heavy as "Dim Vision", but it still speaks up for itself. Nice cowbell in there, I'm sure they had a laugh with that. Solo goes for the feel of the piece, a nice mid-tempo rocker.
"Buddha Transcends" - another sub-90 seconds track that isn't hardcore punk. :) A real incense-burner, this one. Given what happened with the last instrumental on this album, I'm expecting a real face-slammer for the next track...
And "Means the Same" has a 10-second intro fuse before the rest of the band fires up and gets the big rig moving. Very much like Truckfighters in terms of heavy and feel and drive. This is a great song to drive to - I know because I got it when I pre-ordered the album. :)
"Dreams of Sands" goes back to the dreamy heavy that we had with the title track. It's heavier and harder than its predecessor, which I think is appropriate for an album closer. You want to drive that musical point home, and this is the one to do it with.
Overall, the band's strength is in its instrumental work. The vocals are good, but not outstanding. That's OK, though. I have some really tasty work from the guitar leads and having a laid-back vocalist allows that guitar to step forward and hold the spotlight. One fast song and a bunch of mid-and slow-tempo songs make this album, overall, a heavy sort of mellow to listen to.

Love this band, their sound absolutely pegs mid-80s *good* metal. New album releases on 27 September.

Mos Generator has a new album of pared-back jams: https://mosgenerator.bandcamp.com/album/spontaneous-combustions
Got a garage sound to it, because it's basically live jams in a rental house in-between occupants. If you like long studio jams, this is just for you. Yes, there are imperfections, but that's what makes it fun for me. And when they get it all right, it's even more exciting.
Ruby the Hatchet does a cover of Uriah Heep's "Easy Livin'": https://thehatchet.bandcamp.com/track/easy-livin
Bass doesn't thump out the way Gary Thain did it, but it's still a good rocker of a song.
Greek rockers Deaf Radio have a new album: https://deafradio.bandcamp.com/album/modern-panic
I'm listening to the opening track (after the short intro), and it's a real rocker. Thinking I gotta have this one, for sure. Kept listening, and it's some strong material, for sure.

Oh yeah, the latest from War Cloud: https://ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/album/state-of-shock
NWOBHM sound here in 2019. True to that early 80s Metal Blade type of sound, back when metal was pretty much just "metal, dude." So, yeah, what type of metal is this? It's metal metal, dude! :yes:

Here's a cover of a song by Mick Ronson, by the band Sister Midnight:
"Power of Darkness" https://ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/track/power-of-darkness
Got some great, heavy grooves and some blisteringly good guitar work. Check it out!

I love Bandcamp! Here is my collection if anyone is interested in looking. I have bought a ton of stuff in the last few months. Been buying more digital and have avoided cds more due to the circumstances we are all in. https://bandcamp.com/jstheconqueror

Totally not surprised by your avatar there. :)
