Den_MechaniX Thrilling combination of the clean vocal and dark, slow riffing.
One of the most remarkable records of the year. Favorite track: 100 Years.

Harry Harrison I’ve always inclined towards the rockier end of Stoner & the sound these guys have is so polished that I enjoy every moment. The technical Arabic lead in ‘Godspeed’ is purely enjoyable and then there’s the ‘old school’ HM feel to “Kaleidoscope” that is refreshing in this day & age. Add to that the creamy guitar duels and mathematical sounds in “100 Years” & things get an Elder feel. The vocals are top-notch too. Thermate are a professional outfit & are worth a spin on your favourite format. Favorite track: Kaleidoscope.

Reek Of STOOM Fuzzy, Doomy, crunchy and munchy! Thermate have worn their groove even deeper and dredged up humungous stoned noise

Mike There is a place called Redshift City, its whereabouts adrift on the threads of soliloquy. Some say 'twas born upon the left horn of Lucifer, one day's sojourn beyond the storms of Jupiter. A stonerized kingdom of fuzz-seeking pilgrims, where the heavy psych skies move to blues-reeking rhythms. Favorite track: Greener Pastures.

about

"THERMATE’s juggernaut through the radioactive desert continues unabated with “Redshift City”! Six delicious, dripping Stoner riff-outs with all the verve and cocksure attitude we know and love!"
Reek of STOOM (Stoner HiVe)

"Arthur Thure’s vocals are perfectly suited to wringing every last drop of emotion out of the Finnish quartet’s finest work: Thermate’s swaggering frontman boasts a throaty range to die for and rarely delivers anything less than 100 per cent fury. Trading top billing with twin guitar threat Mikko Väätäinen and Juuso Honkanen, Thure coasts through Redshift City and it’s difficult to believe this is the band’s full-length debut."
(Rushonrock)

"Thermate is one of the best 70s-style stoner metal bands out there right now. They make some very slinky and sexy riff rock that I defy you to not involuntarily bob your head to. Their latest record, Redshift City, is a reminder that just because a style is established doesn’t mean it should go ignored."
(Heavy Blog Is Heavy)

"THERMATE are among the more original representatives of the inextricably dense Stoner Doom pool. They win in particular with their strong singer and imaginative handling of relatively little motivic material, without becoming monotonous for even a single moment."
(musikreviews)

"This is another album that really benefits from subsequent listens, and has enough merits that it deserves more than just a single cursory run through."
(Metal Temple)

"Vocalist Arthur Thure has a great voice, languid and measured, but brimming over with a great melodic intent throughout. Likewise the twin guitars of Mikko Väätäinen and Juuso Honkanen are used to very good effect, none more so than on the fabulous '100 Years'. Sure, it's a genre that's over-populated by mediocrity at times, but thankfully Thermate are anything but mediocre"
(Powerplay Magazine)

Track Name: Eyes of Jupiter
I am the fifth, I am the lord of the sky
Fear not, no one will hear you cry
Come onto me, I’ll show you secrets I hide
My stormy nature makes you mine
Yeah

Reveal the truth behind the eyes
The eyes of Jupiter

You’re mesmerised by the visions I behold
Telling stories once untold
Your trip was fortunate but now it is stalled
Unreachable I am no more
Yeah

Reveal the truth behind the eyes
The eyes of Jupiter

Darkness surrounding me It’s like a sea
The cold bites to the bone
Down to the core
Down to the core
Yeah, to the bone

The engine’s old, the fuel runs low
It’s been foretold
My journey will now end
Now I am spent
Yeah, I am spent
Yeah, to the end

Transmission out
Track Name: Godspeed
I’m getting anxious but I feel at ease
Weight of the world keeps me on my feet
A lot of trust, a lot faith
Befell on me
My palms are sweaty and I’m ready to go
There are no icons left for me to bow
Farewell to home, farewell to the
Earth It’s my escape

Traverse the dark horizon
The stars become a sea
A trip for eternity
Propel me through the vacuum
The stars become a sea
A trip for eternity

Little by little I am gaining speed
From gravity I will soon be freed
I’m pushing through the atmosphere
I’m getting there
The last glimpse of home is nigh
The blueish glow is left behind
Farewell to home, farewell to the Earth
Make my escape, yeah I’ll make it

Traverse the dark horizon
The stars become a sea
A trip for eternity
Propel me through the vacuum
The stars become a sea
A trip for eternity

I’m getting anxious but I feel at ease
Weight of the world keeps me on my feet
A lot of trust, a lot of faith
Befell on me, Godspeed is all I need
Godspeed
Track Name: Soliloquy
The window is
It is my only friend now
All I see
Some distant debris and it's

Floating through space

The white walls
Are all I'm talking to now
It's been a while
Since I have looked behind

What's this I’ve found?
Don't make a sound
I need an embrace

I’m drifting in space

I know
What I've been told
That there is more
Something unknown
Yeah, I know
I've been shown
Where I have gone
What did I agree upon

Oh, when your head is carved out hollow
When doubt is creeping to your mind
The mirror tells a different story
Is this the trip that's been worthwhile?
Track Name: Greener Pastures
Nothing on the horizon
I'm flying blind
A distant light is shining
It beacons me come closer
And I am sold
I can't explain it, how it feels

The shakes they come surprising
I'm in its hold
Now there's no turning back
I’m ready to go
Controls tell what I'm seeing
But it's too late
I'm a fireball raining down like brimstone

Clouds open up to greener pastures
There's someone with a welcoming face
It seems I'll be alright because
I'm greeted with a smile

I don't recognise any of this
What is this place
Trying to make some sense of it
I'm in a haze
A friendly face
Would be nice for a change
But that's not the case
That's not the case this time
Track Name: 100 Years
As the distance is growing more stunning
In this time and space
All I know hasn't ever looked better
The further I get
At some point I'll be left all alone
Yeah, and my heart is as heavy as stone
Through it all I keep my head held high
What else am I to do

One day repressed minds will be free

Am I blind?
Yeah
Seek for a light
See where it hides
I am blind

Situation's becoming more dire
Every second I breathe
Any message I send won't be answered
For one hundred years
Facts discovered are met with resent
Yeah, I know they will be condemned
Still I'm recording my thoughts to be answered
In one hundred years

One day repressed minds will be free

Am I blind?
Yeah
Seek for a light
See where it hides
I am blind
To see everything is false

So as now time goes by
And my mind is so black
Now I show a keen interest
In finding a way back home
Though I fear I won't get there
Because I'm forever lost
Is it something to dwell on?
Or is it just a lost cause?

Am I blind?
Yeah
Seek for a light
See where it hides
I am blind
To see everything is false
