AWESOME Doom/Stoner/Heavy Psych Rawk “all-star band” with Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Scott “Wino” Weinrich (Hidden Hand, The Obsessed, St. Vitus), Dale Crover (Melvins) & Al Cisneros (Om, Sleep, Asbestos Death). 5 long and epicly stunning tunes that will keep your attention and never gets dull. If you like heavy, bombastic stuff and wah-wah pedals then this is for you.
((((((1)))))) Strangely mixes Neurosis and “Dopesmoker”-era Sleep.
(((((((2))))))) HUGE RIFF! Then goes into a slow burn with Scott Kelly’s very focused vocals and then more big resonating riffs. Al comes in later to do some trippy vocal lines about “lunar host ascendant freedom…”
((((((3))))) Bassy, slow burnin’ with big drum sound. Scott Kelly leads the vocals again. A bit more laid back and fuzzy psych.
(((((4)))))) Classic Doomy/Heavy Rawk with a ton of guitar fuzz and pounding drums. Some nice & big sounding vocals from Wino. Pretty minimal but a ton of feeling and good build up.
((((((5))))) Heavy Psych-Fuzz Rock/Metal repeats the structure of #1 with the Wino/Kelly/Cisneros vocal trade offs. The latter of who’s part is verry trippy psych. Killer wah-wah sound, too.
