Another act that I have no idea what to expect from. You could read the press release but describing music with words is an awkward business. We all come with our on luggage and from that we build our expectations. When I see this band’s name I get visions of everything from doom to death metal. And I want to call this death metal too but as I listen to it I’m not so sure that that’s the whole truth behind this album. I also get a 70s groove thing feel when I listen to this. If you could imagine Monster Magnet joining forces with My Dying Bride and then go on a rampant rump through the metal spectra then you might get a picture of what this album could be like. As I’ve stopped making sense of what a band sounds like and just go for the gut feeling I’ve come to the conclusion that I like this. Anders Ekdahl
