Review
Gods
& Punks new album, Into The Dunes Of Doom - owes a huge debt of
gratitude to Black Sabbath. As the band play a wild variation of
Doom/Stoner riffs influenced by that legendary band. Gods & Punks
play a heavy blend of Desert Rock, Psych and Stoner Rock which is
held together by a classic doom/proto-metal sound. The vocals from
Alexandre do sound like Ozzy at times but still stand on their own
merits.
The
album feels very retro in places and that's no bad thing as Gods &
Punks know how to play exciting riffs and exciting lyrics to match.
There are seven songs on the album and the band have written some
epic tracks to poison your soul with. Standout tracks to check out
are: Dunes Of Doom, Civilization, Signs Of Life, Subatomic Wormhole
and The Encounter, which runs past the fourteen minute mark. The
instrumental work is very good indeed with the band moving from
different genres effortlessly.
There
are a few psychedelic progressive parts that do drag at times but
Gods & Punks return to the standout Doom/Stoner Rock sound. As it
gives their sound a more refreshing and addictive edge. The album can
be very loud at times and that's perhaps down to the fantastic
production. This is a very clear and crisp album with the band
creating a record that will appeal to all fans across the Doom,
Desert Rock, Psych and Stoner Rock spectrum.
There
is something for everyone to enjoy and admire. Into The Dunes Of Doom
is a superb album that Gods & Punks should rightly be proud of.
