Review:
This
is a band that works in a virtual doom quarry, mining a distortion
that expands and contracts in sludge as thick as mud. This album is
very well done and truly deserving of your heavyweight collection.
There are only four songs, but they are vivid as divine law.
The
album starter 'Does Not Equal Time' churns like spoiled buttermilk
and evolves with string work that jumps all over the fret board like
a semi truck on a neglected desert road. The song respects itself and
the psychedelic speed limits are not excessive.
'Practical
Mental Effects' is heavy fuzz operating at low speed with agonizing
screams in an echo drain pit. The guitar, bass and drums are all
performing on a smelted stage.
'Church
Of The Fifth Season' is a sonic story chronicling the contorted
sounds of a suspicious mind on a paranoid, slow motion, helicopter
guitar ride, powered by mistrustful voices soon to be landing on a
monster riff island where the creatures scream for their next meal
from the abstract sky. It is a bubbling blob of deep doomed resonance
with hallucinogenic ebbs in the tide.
'The
Map Is Not The Territory' is masterful. The bass starts off something
unusual and the guitar twangs before being thrust into the heaving
storm, which is causing the battering down of the drum kit, all of
this being motorized through the resurgence of a lost riff circa the
1970's. The insane captain yells commands from atop the crow’s nest
of this death ship, which is travelling upon crushing waves of doom
over elongated stoner rock.
I
understand part II is on the horizon...so keep this band on your
sonar.
