“Livin’ Oblivion”
(Listenable)
Battle Helm Rating
As I didn’t know what to expect from this Canadian band I hadn’t made any sort of assumptions before I started to listen to this album. But I gotta say that I was still surprised. From reading up on them I kinda expected this to be some sort of 70s stoner/doom kinda sound. You can hear that stuff in their sound but what struck me initially was how much this made me think of Bombus. Not that they are anywhere as heavy and hard as Bombus but it was that kinda feel I got. What really got me stoked was the tempo of some of the songs. But overall this is a really cool album of stoner heavy metal. Anders Ekdahl
