Review
Trippy
Wicked & The Cosmic Children Of The Knight make a welcome return
after a some time away from the spotlight and the band have released
this rough and ready cool EP – Three Leaves. If you haven’t heard
of the band before then this is the best place to start. As this EP
offers two songs totalling around 13 minutes of Progressive Doomed
Out Stoner Metal with a Blues Rock vibe aiding things along.
It’s
not the best sounding EP but it shows that Trippy Wicked have lost
none of their magic with heavy psychedelic FUZZED OUT sounds on the
opening song Three Leaves.
Though
it’s the second song – Green Memories – embraces the WEEDIAN
Stoner Metal Groove with style and heavy substance with Trippy
Wicked playing LOW & SLOW from start to finish. The raw
atmosphere is quite intense in places with Pete’s vocals having a
slight gloomy vibe to them. The EP does see Trippy Wicked offer a
more classic style of 70s Prog Rock on this song and it’s an
interesting sound that never outstays it’s welcome.
If
you’re a fan of CLUTCH and BLACK SABBATH but with a heavier
distorted Stoner Groove then Trippy Wicked are definitely worth your
time. Especially if you have about 12 years of material to catch up
with.
A
new album is being planned for the future and on this form it’s
good to have Trippy Wicked & The Cosmic Children Of The Knight
back.
