"DOOMED GATHERINGS"

For 4 years now, « Stoned Gatherings » events provide parisians with heavy sounds : Stoner, Heavy Rock, Doom, Sludge i.e.… Hosting shows for international bands such as YOB, RED FANG, ORANGE GOBLIN, PENTAGRAM, EYEHATEGOD, MONDO GENERATOR, MONKEY 3, RAMESSES, VALIENT THORR, JEX THOTH, ACID KING, MY SLEEPING KARMA and many more…
A lot of these acts played Paris or France for their first time at « Stoned Gatherings ».
Followed by a faithful audience, these events kept growing and became more frequent with an ambitious program mixing legends of the genre and newcomers.
In April, STONED GATHERINGS will become for a week-end « DOOMED GATHERINGS », a 3 days event around Doom and its derivates with rare bands, cult bands and new bands. In total : 15 bands including 10 exclusive in France.

"DOOM PARANOÏA"
THE BODY (USA)
THE BODY (USA)
For the first time in Europe and in exclusivity in France, the american duo plays with our brain with its dark ad psychedelic atmospheres, its sludge fury a massive noisy sound. Between experimental trips and a pure metal brutality.
One of the most innovative bands of its generation.
For the first time in Paris ! A very much awaited london duo melting nasty sludge and gloomy doom pumped up with electronic elements and the dirt of a moisty cellar !
This instrumental band preaches a Heavy thunder and an electric chaos !
Demanding and captivating, YONL is now a strong asset on the international scene !
POMBAGIRA (UK)
Extremely rare on stage, this cult duo, swimming in the shady waters of doom, psychedelic and occult world, gets back on the road with its 5th album « Maleficia Lamiah » that pushes the limits of the genre(s).

DARK BUDDHA RISING (FIN)
Heavy and dark, the Finnish band has been long awaited ! Long songs of sonic experimentations and dirty heaviness ! Unique and terribly seducing for the amateurs of the genre !
Fast Heavy Rock, haunted by the 70’s proto-doom shadow, The Socks bursts the amps and distinguish themselves from all this fashion retro 70’s bands.
A particularity that earned them a deal with the famous american label « Small Stone Records"
**The fav’s of the staff"
A unique and weird band ! Waves of scary piano, a voice between Tom Waits and Nick Cave, jazzy breaks, double bass, Doomy and heavy instrumentations and the British irreverence !
Genius and completely mad ! TO BE DISCOVERED ABSOLUTELY
When impro and doom meet. Shows of Mr. Peter Hayden are like metaphysical journeys.
