DOOM METAL / STONER ROCK. Great heavy 70s-styled Black Sabbath worship from the Netherlands with a well-wrought balance of nostalgia and originality. Blatant “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” tropes injected with a thick, dark tone. At first I thought it wasn’t as good as the debut but as former DJ Gears noted, it really grows on you. RIYL Pentagram, SubRosa, any band with “Witch” in the name

1. **slow marching plod with an upbeat proggy bridge straight out of Sab’s Vol. 4
2. ***rock’n’roll doom boogie, delicious bluesy riffs charge along, catchy but not cheesy at all
3. unholy incantatory march, evil haunted-house organ joins the mix
4. slowwwwwww crawling sludgy despair, guitar solos sound like Iron Maiden stoned out of their minds
5. faster chugging rocker, almost thrashy
6. lighter prog-rock bluesy flair trades off with heavy distorted doom riffs
7. *summery psychedelia, drifting acoustic guitar with hazy folk-blues touches over droning distortion; daytime DJs should check this one out
8. *slowwwwwww crushing DOOM, nuff said
9. dark menacing undercurrents, eerie chugging riffs over sparse solos and vocals, droning feedback concludes
