Remember, it was released in 2024:
Thermate's Buzzkill: The Fuzz-Rock Anthem You Didn't Know You Needed
Finnish fuzz-rockers Thermate unleashed Buzzkill in 2024, and it remains the kind of track that makes you want to dust off your bell-bottoms and riot. Recorded in 2024 but still criminally underrated, this single is a psychedelic, groove-laden monster that cruises like a '70s muscle car before slamming into '90s stoner riffs. The video? Pure hypnotic, sing-along chaos. If your flare pants aren't fluttering by the end, check your pulse.
Guitarist Mikko Väätäinen calls it a "convertible ride through groove highways", one that ends with "deliciously heavy" stoner detours. Meanwhile, vocalist Arthur Thure drops some lyrical truth bombs: "Buzzkill is a battle cry against tyranny, a reminder that even when the world's on fire, you can still stand up, turn it up, and fight back."
Why it's still relevant in 2025:
Thermate's been quietly perfecting their craft since 2012, with a debut LP (Redshift City, 2019). Buzzkill, this is the sound of a band honing their chaos: heavy, hooky, and unapologetically retro-futuristic.
If you love QOTSA's groove, Kyuss' crunch, and a chorus that sticks like glue, this is your jam. And with a sophomore album on the horizon, Thermate might just be 2025's sleeper hit.
Dive in:
P.S.: If you don't air-guitar to this at least once, you're lying. We see you.
CONCLUSION:
Thermate's Buzzkill is a perfect blend of retro fuzz and modern energy. This Finnish band proves that stoner rock can be both nostalgic and fresh, with grooves that hit hard and melodies that stick. As they prepare their sophomore album, Buzzkill remains a standout track that deserves more attention in the fuzz/stoner rock scene.
