Sleeping Village Review for Return from the Void! Plus their first Doom Compilation on Bandcamp!

The always awesome Sleeping Village Reviews has been rocking out to Return from the Void over the last few months and we think they are now officially Martian Maniacs! Check out what they had to say right here-
https://www.sleepingvillagereviews.com/reviews/desert-of-mars-return-from-the-void-review
“While a pleasant variety helps define Desert of Mars, fuzzy rock is ultimately the name of the game, tastefully outfitted with Martian desert grit and a certain astral flair. If comparisons help, think a merger featuring the psychedelic side of Mothership with the rockin’ drive of (fellow Texans) Duel.
This is the alchemical paragon of feel-good music: catchy driving riffs, hooky-yet-relaxed clean choruses, subtle aggression, forthright drums, and a whole lotta fuzz…. I just want more, dammit, and am not ashamed to beg. There’s only so much one can do in the span of an EP, and Desert of Mars handled this effort handily. “

But that’s not all! Recently Sleeping Village has posted the pre-order for their first Doom Comp –SLEEPING VILLAGE Caravan Of Doom (Vol. 1)
https://sleepingvillagerecords.bandcamp.com/releases
Tons of cool bands, compiled by one of our favorite sites – You know this one has a heavy pedigree. It’s a steal of a heavy pre-order, so head over that way and Doom On!!!

New Interview with Tony on the Doom Tomb Podcast!!

Hey Martian Maniacs!! We’re still hanging in there, polishing up our riffs and writing new tunes for the next LP while in lockdown on Mars. Don’t worry though, we’re keeping the rocket engines lit and beaming out transmissions like the latest interview with the Doom Tomb podcast.
In this episode, Tony discusses some “behind the music” info about the Mars Metal heard on the “Return from the Void” EP as well as other DoM related topics and random geekery. A lot of fun was had, and we thank Chris for reaching out and transmitting across the Universe.
The Doom Tomb covers a lot of cool music and bands, so once you listen to this episode check out all the rest of the Doom Tomb Podcast here!
Rock on, best wishes, and keep fighting the good fight on Earth! We hope you all stay safe and healthy. We want to see all of you out there when we can rocket across the universe again!
