Every now and again, I discover a band that totally blows my mind. This happened when I heard Valley Of The Sun and Black Rainbows for the first time. I got sucked into their music and discography so much and became quite obsessed with their stuff. I would constantly listen to all of their material, anything and everything that I...
The year 2024 was a spectacular year for heavy riff rock music. It was nearly impossible to realistically choose 20 albums and rank them in order of favorites. I did my best at that time but things are constantly changing for me with music and discovering stuff that I didn’t hear until later. I reviewed over seventy albums that were...
Welcome to the last installment for my five favorite albums of 2024 from five of my favorite record labels.

Last week, I submitted my five favorite albums of 2024 from the label, Blues Funeral Recordings (here). Today, I’m gonna do the same thing for Heavy Psych Sounds. This idea started a couple of weeks ago when I posted about my five favorite underground record labels (post here). Heavy Psych Sounds from Italy, has been very active this past year...
Here is another post about several bands that I discovered since starting the Jam Yeti Music Blog, just over four months ago. This is part 3 of this feature.

Last week, I included my five favorite heavy rock record labels that cater to the underground riff rock and metal scene. Check out the post here.

Blues Funeral is a fantastic label that always deliver...
The year 2024 has been a stellar year for heavy riff rock music. I have never had a more difficult time narrowing down my choices to twenty albums than I have this year. Granted, since I began my blog this past September, I have been following new album releases intently since the start of the year. I am still playing...
