Gnome packs a bigger punch than their name suggests: combining irresistible hooks and thundering guitars, drums and bass with adventurous twists, they brew their unique and ultimately satisfying potion of stoner, prog and hardrock.

After the success of 2018 debut ‘Father of Time’, which demonstrates their knack for stacking riffs like lego bricks, and having conquered stages across Europe with their shin-kicking live sets, the power trio from Antwerp raise the bar with their majestic second outing ‘King’.

They sound bigger and heavier with more vocals (including special guest Oskar Logi from The Vintage Caravan) but never losing sight of the quest for the golden riff.

‘King’ was recorded with Frank Rotthier at Rockstar Recordings in between lockdowns in the fall of 2020 and will be released by POLDERRECORDS digital, on cd and on vinyl May 6th, 2022.

Its scary how the algorithm gets its "right" from time to time. Riffs to make you smile

[BiesCzech]

If you are from Czechia, this song has some different meaning - let me explain: In Czechia there is this chain of supermarkets called Kaufland. And managers from Kaufland decided that this chain need super cheap beer, and what managers want, that's what they get. So they make a order to some local brewery to make a beer called AMBROSIUS. The beer so cheap, that the glass in which the beer is stored is more expensive than this beer. This beer cost like 0.05 EURO per 0, 5 liter bottle. And of course it the most disgusting thing in the universe as expected. But if you are student or homeless or really an beer alcoholic and you need to drink a lot of beer to get yourself in the mood, its the right thing for you.

So every time in this song I hear: "AMBROSIUS!" I am imagining this beer. And when I hear: "You can eat from the ground!" I Imagine brand slogan like: (read in mellow voice) "Our beer Ambrosius. If you can eat from the ground, you can drink this!"

It gets even funnier because Ambrosius means in Greek langues food and drink of gods - and if a mortal man eat Ambrosia, he/she gets immortal. The word Ambrosia is also used for description of really tasty food or drink.

Gnome rock, Dwarf Rock, Goblin Rock.
We need a Middle Earth themed movie featuring the rock battles between all the races.

This video makes me feel better about the conditions of my greenhouse

[Reaction_Image_Factory]

A rock band that actually has a bass you can HEAR?? COUNT ME THE FUCK IN.

I slept over my cousins house one weekend and my uncle decided to have a "ghostbuster" walk through his home. She had many things to say and the one that stuck out to me was that there was an area in his backyard where nothing grew because there were gnomes playing in that area. I'm hoping it was these gnomes.

[Bowser]

Came here because "Haha They're called Gnome and play in funny red hats" and then promptly got my balls rocked. Definitely going to check their other stuff!

[TeaksEden]

This is still my daughter's favorite song...to fall asleep to. I first played it for her at 2 weeks old when she was so gassy and needed constantly rocked. She stopped screaming when it started and started crying again when it stopped. 9 months later, we just listened to it 6+ times on loop, but my teething little one is finally asleep. Thank you, Gnome, for rocking so hard you put babies to sleep!

[VitaEx]

Not sure what algorithm figured out I needed this in my life but hot damn. I need to hear all their music now

[IncognitoManiac]

It looks like Tony Iommi’s lawn ornaments came to life and formed a band. I dig it

[jonr]

I don’t know why YouTube brought me here, but I’m 100% here for it

[TheCynicalSatyr]

it really can't be overstated how much the hats enhance an already amazing performance.

[shawntraylor]

I'll be honest, , if it weren't for those awesome pointy red hats I probably would have passed on the video.

Cool band, , good song, , outstanding hats.

[Fumes]

I've heard about garagebands before and house genre, but never greenhouse rock. Nice sound guys!

[rustyshackleford]

OH! Wait, HOLD UP! This band unironically slaps! Came for the hats, but stayed for the licks.

[lexiheart]

What I really like about Gnome is you can really tell that they enjoy what they're doing ( especially the bassist) and that they're genuine friends who decided to wear gnome hats while shredding.

[Godsasslad]

Can we take a moment to appreciate all the interesting little switch-ups and fills the drummer sprinkled throughout the song?

[Rodrigo.Grecco]

Damn! Rock n Roll as it should be done!! KUDOS from Brazil!🤘🤘🤘

[realitydisconnectband]

I don't gnomornally listen to this style, but damn. Nice work. Dig the groove.

Just discovered Gnome a few minutes ago and I need more
