Transmitted directly from the ether, Vulcanodon Phazer returns with a stripped down doom stoner epic. Consisting of two massive tracks, Sorcerers of Avalon conjures up a thick dose of desert tones mixed with magickal sonic travels. This alchemy of doom metal and desert rock blend together in the improvised musical movements, resulting in a hazy, heavy, and fuzzed-out psych album.
Side Doom features the doomed magical conjurings of Demons and Sorcerers of the West.
Side Stoner consists of burnt-out fuzz, clean strumming, and high-speed riffage combined into a monolithic surf rock tune, Frankie Avalon and the Supercomputer.

The first of two sister albums recorded Dec 27/22 and Dec 29/22, Sorcerers of Avalon is raw, live, improvised guitar and drums only. This was an effort to capture the free flowing essence found in jamming that is often lost in "proper" songwriting.
Sorcerers of Avalon will be followed this Summer by the second experimental hybrid improv album. The sister album will feature layering leads, vocals, and more stoned madness onto the bed of on-the-fly sludgy doom.

Excerpt : "...This jam continuously evolves and progresses, touching the soft skin of psychedelic sonority, trespassing the limitations of narrow-minded constructions. And at the very same time, despite a maniacal, stoned performance, it all makes sense. At almost half of the hymn, everything changes (once again), now exploring necromantic, thaumaturgic states of mind and physics. Not little later, things evolve into a heavier section, when both drums / percussions and four / six-string guitars break their chains, overwhelming their new-worn freedom. Distortion, floaty repetition and mesmeric paralysis permanently influence the whole sonic adventure." -Ivan Tibos,
