San Francisco's Disastroid makes heavy music that isn't boring. Blending the vibes of 90s grunge with modern stoner, noise, and math rock, Disastroid sounds something like a lost band from the Amphetamine Reptile back-catalogue -- a mashup of odd, unpredictable time changes, sludgy riffs, and soulful vocals.
In 2024 Disastroid released their second album, “Garden Creatures", on Heavy Psych Sounds. Produced by Billy Anderson (Sleep, Melvins, Swans, Mr. Bungle, Neurosis), it trades some of the raw, angular vibe of their last outing, “Mortal Fools", for darker, moody textures and a denser, more layered heavy sound.
San Francisco veterans Disastroid have been serving up sludgy, grunge-infused stoner rock for the better part of a decade now, refining a sound that weaves heavy riffs together with angular guitar lines, odd time signatures, and hazy walls of fuzz. As influenced by 90's noise rock as they are by modern psych, doom, and post-metal, Disastroid delivers thick, satisfying stoner rock stomp while also embracing layers of tripped-out noise and unpredictable song structures.
Their latest, “Mortal Fools” is their heaviest and most expansive-sounding album to date. Produced by Tim Green (Nation of Ulysses, The Fucking Champs), it’s sonically focused on what Disastroid does best, laying singer/guitarist Enver Koneya’s deep vocals and fuzzed-out riffs on top of a relentless, pummeling rhythm section. At the same time, it’s loose enough that it takes some unpredictable twists and turns, conveying the band's rough edges, sense of humor, and noisy, experimental streak.
