Released: 2025 Genre: Sludge, Post-metal Sounds Like: SUMAC, Neurosis Homeland: Madrid, Spain What makes Dry Soil elite and sit atop OHMs Peak? The Madrid-based quartet delivers one of the year's most intense and dynamic sludge albums to bless our speakers. Dry Soil is far more than your typical sludge album. It travels through peaks and valleys of Post-metal and doom. The musicianship is incredibly precise, the vocals perfectly embody the sludge style, and the production is impeccable. Get this one on vinyl. Track Listing: Overload 6:49 Concrete 4:05 Edge 8:08 Restart 6:32 Blood Kills The Soil 6:40 Bonfire 9:03 Dive deeper into Dry Soil with our Q&A with Adrift. OHMs Peak: Would love for a brief glimpse into your process and time commitment in making the album. Adrift: We make the album between 2021 and 2023 but almost all the songs were finalized during 2023. We are very slow making albums. OHMs Peak: 'Blood Kills the Soil’ is our favorite track on the album and is so brilliantly crafted. The undulating dark current  and fugue are all consuming. Jorge’s vocals are spine-chilling and blend so well with the sludge dynamics. How did this track come into creation?  We would love to hear more about its meeting and tie-in overall to Dry Soil . Adrift: This song was composed in a few days, we was looking for make a song more simple, using only two riffs and exploring more in the repetition of it. We wanted to change the way we used to compose the song and here is the result. Also we completed it with a lot of background noise, that gives to the song more depth. The vocals are inspired in the band Indian and the way the singer use to scream. Dry Soil title is taken from the lyric of “Blood Kills…” and talks about how we are losing humanity in the face of tragedies happening in the world and how we seem to be drying up the soil. The soil is a metaphor for minds  OHMs Peak: What was your band’s most memorable live performance? Where was it held and why was the night so special? Adrift: We think that our most memorable live performance were in an underground festival in Valencia that were organized in a tractor yard, surrounded by vineyards. We remember it as the craziest show we ever do, playing in the floor, surrounded by crazy people and tractors. We had to stop playing a few times because some people fall in the pedals or disconnect accidentally some cables. I mean, It wasn’t our best show if we talk about how we played but it was the funniest and energetic show we ever played. OHMs Peak: What band NOT in your genre would you love to tour with that would most compliment your sound? Adrift: mmm maybe Motorpsycho. It’s one of our favorite bands and a big influence of us but our music is different. OHMs Peak: We would love any insight as to your current and upcoming tour plans? Adrift: At the moment we only have a few show en Spain. We’ll play in Barcelona, Madrid and Malaga and we are looking for more show but because of our jobs it is difficult for us to find dates to play. OHMs Peak: The chemistry is clear on Dry Soil as you are veterans to the craft having worked together for over 20 years. Has the band held strong together throughout or ventured off tangent on occasion. What side projects has the Adrift team participated in? Adrift: We have been playing during those years and we had grow and learn as musicians during that time. We also have and had a lot of projects like El Páramo, Toundra, Voul, Aathma, Giganto, Loma Baja…  OHMs Peak: The album cover is abrasive and intriguingly fitting. We see Jorge was involved in the illustration. How did the concept come about? Adrift: When we were recording Dry Soil, on the way to the studio there was a wall that we think was painted by someone who wanted to spoil the white wall. We saw that and we loved it so we decided to take some photos and try it as the cover and it works! We like it because its abstract by we think that the concept is strong. OHMs Peak: Your band is stranded on an island with only a solar powered turntable and majestic powered solar blue tooth speakers. The band collectively can only choose one album. Which album to you agree to? Adrift: Very difficult question… it could be Times of Grace of Neurosis.

Released: 2025 Genre: Psychedelic rock, Garage rock Sounds Like: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Tweak Bird Homeland: France What makes Nighshade elite and sit atop OHMs Peak? Originating from France, Spiralpark offers an enchanting mix of psychedelic garage rock. Guitarist Dorian's vocals are quite distinctive, evoking memories of 90s Tripping Daisy. Nightshade stands out as one of the most unique and distinctive albums to grace our speakers this year. It offers a terrific blend of fuzz, psychedelic, and DIY garage sound. Track Listing: 1. Belladonna 3:25 2. Candy Machine 4:07 3. Vision 3:57 4. Emergency Exit 3:42 5. Last Piece 3:02 6. In Brand New Company 3:15 7. Their Eyes 3:47 8. Gate Keeper 3:22 9. Slumber 4:47 Dive deeper into Nightshade with our Q&A with Spiralpark. OHMs Peak: Would love for a brief glimpse into your process and time commitment in making the album. Spiralpark: Nightshade is the result of 3 years of composition. We don’t have a specific songwriting technique, we work on our songs all together during rehearsal sessions. Thanks to Clem, Manu and Diogo for all their technical support to bring this album to fruition. OHMs Peak: "Candy Machine" is one of our favorites and absolutely takes us to another atmosphere. So majestic and ethereal. We would love to learn more about the meaning behind this track and how the concept came about. Spiralpark:  We are glad you brought this particular track up because it is one of the songs that deeply connects to our intimacy and core principles. Candy Machine can resonate with anyone who has painful experiences with recreational or prescribed drugs, either past or present. We understand many people struggling with this kind of distress feel overwhelmed, remain silent, and let themselves be consumed by an excess of substances that distort their emotions, feelings, and lives ; to the point of wanting to end it all. With this song, we want to bring hope to those who have lost it. The concept was born from a few riffs that we wanted to build around the drums, with a stronger and more pronounced playing intention. From there, ideas and lyrics naturally blended with the instrumental spirit of the track to convey our message. OHMs Peak: What was your band’s most memorable live performance? Where was it held and why was the night so special? Spiralpark: The most memorable live performance was our first ever gig as Spiralpark. It was at a festival we organized in Gorbio with Poutrasseau, our association. The band was only in its infancy, we had to work hard to finish the setlist and be ready to rock on the stage. OHMs Peak: The album art actually drew us in to checkout their album (thankfully!). We noticed Loic Delucis did the drawing and Mathea participated in the coloring. How did the process for the artwork unfold? Spiralpark: The drawing represents a belladonna, relating to nightshade plants. The original idea came from Dorian, who intrinsically inspired all of us for the album's theme. The belladonna juice dripping onto hands was also Dorian's idea. We made sketches together so that Loïc could create the final drawing. The drawing was then vectorized to allow for digital coloring. OHMs Peak: How did the name Spiralpark come about? Spiralpark: We just thought Spiralpark sounded good and suited us overall.. OHMs Peak: What band NOT in your genre would you love to tour with that would most compliment your sound? Spiralpark: We would love to plan a tour with Scooter and VANR. OHMs Peak: We would love any insight as to your current and upcoming tour plans? Spiralpark: We just finished touring through eastern and central France, with dates in Zurich and Italy as well. We have several gigs planned for the upcoming summer: the Tribal Fest in the south of France, a private festival in the center, and maybe we'll play at The Mass Echoes Fest organized by Poutrasseau during the last week-end of august at home, in the mountains of Menton. Also, we'll be on tour this autumn, hopefully covering the western and the northern regions of France. OHMs Peak: Your band is stranded on an island with only a solar powered turntable and majestic powered solar blue tooth speakers. The band collectively can only choose one album. Which album to you agree to? Spiralpark: The band is on the verge of splitting because of this question… We all come from different musical universes, so we would end up choosing something very classical like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles. Spiralpark are: Dorian Caione - Vocals / Guitar Antoine Cayol - Drums / Pad Mathéa Fieschi - Guitar / Keyboards Etienne Mozzone - Bass Follow Spiralpark: Bandcamp / Facebook Grab some Spiralpark Merch Music (vinyl, CDs, digital, shirts, etc.)
