Review
Italian
Psych Stoner Rockers – KAVOD – debut EP Wheel Of Time is a 15
minute doomed out odyssey where the riffs are hazy and with a heavy
nightmarish edge. Inspired by bands such as SLEEP, OM, UFOMAMMUT
and even Tool especially where the vocals are concerned.
Wheel
Of Time is an audio and drugged out delight with huge waves of
Psychedelic Stoner Rock with a Drone based atmosphere holding
everything together. The vocals are mainly chant based with the
lyrics being very hard to understand. However it’s the music that
draws you in especially on the excellent songs Absolution and
Mahatma.
KAVOD
are a band that plays a wide range of different styles on this album
and you still don’t know what genre of music they’re currently
playing. As they include elements of so many different genres, Prog
Rock, Psych Rock, Drone, Stoner and Doom Metal. The end result is
always a captivating and heavy sound that does remind of early
UFOMAMMUT in places but with the more Droned out sounds of OM
suddenly appearing from nowhere.
Wheel
Of Time is a richly progressive and highly experimental EP that takes
you on a different journey with every subsequent listening of the EP.
The only downside is that the EP is on too damn short. You fully
start to immerse yourself with KAVOD’s rich progressive sounds and
the EP sadly ends.
I
do want to hear more from KAVOD and I’m hoping a full length record
isn’t too far behind or a longer EP. KAVOD show real genuine
promise on this EP and I will be keeping a close eye on these guys in
the future. These guys are worth checking out and are definitely
worth your time.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
