Desert Sun is a German stoner rock band formed in 2000 in Fürth, Germany. Known for their heavy, fuzz-laden sound, they draw inspiration from genre pioneers like Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. Their music features dry, distorted guitar riffs, minimalist drumming, and melodic vocals, creating a robust and earthy desert rock experience.

Their debut album, American Sound Normal (2005), received positive reviews for its authentic stoner rock vibe. Critics noted the band's use of sitar in the intro and thematic samples, adding unique touches to their sound. While not groundbreaking, the album was praised for its solid execution and energetic delivery.

In 2007, Desert Sun released their second album, Comedown, which further solidified their place in the stoner rock scene. The album maintained their signature sound while incorporating subtle psychedelic elements and electronic nuances. Tracks like "Fortified" and the title track "Comedown" showcase their ability to blend heavy riffs with hypnotic grooves.

Desert Sun's music is characterized by its balance between raw stoner rock energy and experimental touches, making them a noteworthy band within the genre.
