Review
You
Can’t Stop What’s Coming is the new EP from Fuzz/Stoner/Doom
Rockers – Iron & Stone. The EP is based on either the novel or
film of No Country For Old Men. This allows the band to create and
play a dark blend of Doom/Stoner Rock with heavy amounts of Fuzz Rock
being part of the action.
The
EP has quite a raw sound and it matches the subject material the EP
is based upon. The music is the strong point here with the opening
song – Hand Of Fate – capturing a band playing a more gloomier
sound and slightly bleak and angry vocals to match from Henning.
Fuzz/Stoner
Rockers shouldn’t despair as Iron & Stone will have you covered
in the riffs department with their blistering style of classic
sounding Fuzz/Stoner Rock amounting for the highest amount of cool
riffs held within the EP’s
short running time.
Second
song – Shadow On Your Neck – sees the band go for a full throttle
Doom Metal approach with psychedelic overtones making their way to
the party. The lo-fi production allows the band to carry on with
their raw and angry sound that’s quite captivating in places
especially when the band play some of the heaviest sounds on the
entire EP.
The
final two songs “Old, Bitter and Out Of Touch” and “1958”
sees Iron & Stone become even more aggressive with everything
they have at their disposal. Vocals, riffs and the lyrics all combine
for some of most aggressive parts of the EP with a Dark Fuzz Rock
vibe suddenly appearing and making you want to hear more of this
highly addictive sound.
The
only downside to this EP is that it’s too damn short. I know it’s
an EP. I just wanted one more song to fully complete the EP. As the
EP kinda feels unfinished. Though the classic Coen Brothers film ends
in a similar fashion. So I applaud the band for sticking to that part
of the film if that was their intention of course. That’s my own
feelings of the EP so I could be way off here.
Overall,
You Can’t Stop What’s Coming lives up to it’s fantastic title.
You can’t stop the band on this form with this superbly
entertaining EP.
