Review:
The
band’s moniker, album names and song titles all refer to the reefer
or the henchmen of “Old Scratch” himself. This botanist band is
obsessed with Devil's lettuce…they are weed huggers. This band sees
the world through hippy herb-hued glasses and their world is green.
Their album covers are green, their obsession is green and this album
even has the word “green” in the burning title. Old familiar fans
will rejoice in their continual head bobbing because this album is
another Belzebong classic. This album is also powerful enough to
recruit new followers to the mission.
This
album is a massive, fuzz covered, green colored, hazy stoner
instrumental. It is not easy to be an instrumental band and still
hold the attention of listeners, but this group succeeds through the
weeds. The album is an overflowing cauldron load of heavy riffs,
being stirred with an oversized peace pipe, billowing clouds of
musical notes through heavy smoke. They also encourage you bring a
pipe of dope for your pet goat.
Although
there is no singing on this venture, there are movie quotes that
obviously concern the aforementioned chronic passion:
“Creepshow”-short story of a man turning into a weed, “The
Expendables 2”- Satan’s pet goat, “Assassin of Youth”- the old
anti-marijuana propaganda film, “Nice Dreams”- portraying the
essential comedic stoners Cheech & Chong, etc. I guess some
people will use this album as a soundtrack for their pot activities
and let the ganja orchestrate the language.
This
4-song album is a growling work of plodding distortion that
transformed my legs into tendrils, searching the ground for moisture.
I warn you to listen with a glass of water.
“Diabolical
Dopenosis” is like wading knee deep through an electric swamp.
“Inhale
In Hell” trudges along like a battleship manoeuvring through a
canal of hardening concrete.
“Goat
Smoking Blues” will make you go to the doctor and get prescription
pills to stop your dog from turning green.
“Undertoker”
commands you to cut off your older brother’s toenails and smoke
them.
I
accidentally left “Greenferno” on a loop overnight and I woke up
to find my ferns leaning towards my speakers. In places where this is
legal, the album should come with rolling papers made from Satan's
toilet tissue. You will enjoy this album regardless of your affinity
for green.
I-
Praise the music. Others- Worship the leaf.
