THAT'S ALL FOLKS! - SOMA... 3RD WAY TO ZION - FULL LENGTH ALBUM 2000 - REISSUE REMASTERED 2023
After the binge on the Grunge phenomenon that gave us deep emotions, another one followed: that of Stoner Rock.
After breathing in the dusty atmospheres of desert music from Kyuss (with John Garcia as the genre’s unique voice), we delved deeper into the Italian Stoner scene.
At the time, there was a fanzine called "Movimento Sonoro" that allowed us to get in touch with the fantastic world of music coming from the Italian underground. Stoner was very popular, and several bands began to produce interesting works: "Acajou," "Dugjive," "Kali Yuga," "Sister Morphine," "Ufamammut," "Vortice Cremisi," and many others like these guys from Bari, "That's all folks," who recorded "Soma...3rd way to Zion" inspired by "Blues for the Red Sun" by the aforementioned Kyuss. Their sound was the classic American "Desert Rock"—direct, dirty, and visceral, a mix of Stoner & raw psychedelia. Nowadays, “Soma… 3rd Way to Zion” can be considered a real cult album, with its fuzz-laden riffs, DIY style, and that raw energy of the era, typical of the Italian underground—no trends, no compromises, just sound and sweat.
Together with other emerging acts like those mentioned above, in those years they helped build a scene that did not yet have a name but is now recognized as the roots of Italian Stoner. But today I wonder: does such an Italian musical underground still exist, or are there only talent shows with forgettable tunes?
