Through the Sands

Stolen Body Records release Bubblegum Hypnosis' highly anticipated second album, Through the Sands.

Following their debut release, Bubblegum Hypnosis showcases a remarkable evolution in their songwriting while maintaining the raw energy that first captured listeners' attention. Through the Sands takes fans on an immersive journey through eastern-influenced psychedelia, progressive rock structures, and garage-infused intensity.

The album features five tracks that seamlessly blend thunderous riffs, intricate arrangements, and hypnotic soundscapes. The first four tracks are meticulously crafted compositions that explore different facets of the band's eastern psych influences, from the explosive "Shaitan's Sword" with its thrash metal undertones to the prog-inspired complexity of the title track "Through the Sands" and "Pillars of Infinity." The album culminates in an epic 16-minute improvised finale that shares its name with the band, serving as both a statement of identity and a sonic exploration of everything Bubblegum Hypnosis represents.

The album's lead single, "Shaitan's Sword," represents an explosive comeback for the band. With its garage rock energy and eastern psychedelic flourishes, it's a track best played at maximum volume.
