Review
With
Spaceslug's second full length album – Time Travel Dilemma –
being released very soon. Feb 24th 2017 to be precise.
I've decided to review their debut album – Lemanis – which came
out in Feb 2016. I originally listened to this album last year but
I've just never had the time to review the album in full. UNTIL
NOW!!!
Spaceslug
has already wowed fans and critics within the Doom/Stoner Metal
community and it's not hard to see why. Spaceslug weave a magical
blend of Sabbathian Spaced Out Doom matched with Kyuss style Stoner
riffs. Though that doesn't stop the band creating their own fresh sound on Lemanis. Opening track –
Proton Leader – is a deliberately slow effort that allows the band
to draw the audience in with heavy drone based riffs.
For
a debut album this is remarkably well produced with the band
impressing from the start. Other great tracks to check out are:
Hypermountain, Supermassive, Grand Orbiter and the epic title track –
Lemanis. Spaceslug obviously dig their cosmic spaced out sounds
throughout the album. Look at the glorious album cover and crazy song
titles. Spaceslug perfectly capture the spaced-out doom laiden
Astronaut style sound that's slowly starting to make a real presence
within the Doom/Stoner Metal scene over the last few years.
All
of the members within Spaceslug provide vocals as the songs feel
quite different to each other with both the vocal delivery and cosmic
riffs. If you're new to Spaceslug, check out Lemanis before their new
album is released. As I have a feeling that Time Travel Dilemma is
only going to enhance Spaceslug's reputation even more.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
