Ephemeral, Blue Heron’s debut full-length, is an 8-track, 47-minute exploration of heavy rock at its fullest. Excavating the far reaches and connected strata of stoner rock, sludge, doom, heavy psych and post-metal, Blue Heron transmute years of engagement with rock and metal’s profuse branches into a singular, sand-scorching epic. With lyrical threads ranging from mortality and failed civilizations to mythic fables and cinematic re-imaginations, Ephemeral is stylistically diverse, thematically ambitious and unassailably relentless in its raw, desert power.
about us
the band
Blue Heron coalesced in 2018 around a compulsion to fill the wide New Mexico skies with massive volume, and saturate their piece of desert with thunderous riffs, drums that pummel and swing, deep, thrumming tones and vocals that rip and roar. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, their firsthand relationship with the desert is inextricable from who they are and how they sound.
“With a mix of dark and bluesy heaviness, some pure sludge, and vocals ranging from the clean and moody to the guttural and intense, Blue Heron cover a lot of doomy musical ground”
“Falling squarely within the realm of Sabbath, Kyuss, and other fuzzed-out rippers, it’s a heavy, trippy, catchy anthem…”
“This is a type of record why I love the Stoner Metal scene so much. As it fuses the classic sounds of the 90s Desert/Stoner Metal scene whilst still bringing elements from today’s vibrant Psychedelic/Progressive based sound…”
“The group deals out a psychedelic mix of grungy heavy metal, with strong desert rock vibes and rhythms.”
“Whatever you call it, it’s bloody good, good enough indeed to appeal beyond the stoner rock ghetto and ensnare rock-friendly normals with it’s charms.”
“Ephemeral offers a compelling vision of what can, in the right hands, make the desert rock style so enjoyable.”
