The
Epic is a Doom/Stoner Rock Duo influenced by the sounds of Led Zepp,
Black Sabbath and QOTSA. The band have released two EP’s over the
last two months offering almost 20 minutes of music across both EP’s.
The
EP’s are called In The Red b/w Crooks and HEARTBROKEN WOMAN
b/w PILGRIMAGE offer classic sounding Doom/Stoner/Classic Rock
riffs that have a Punk Rock feel to them. The music is raw and
atmospheric with the “Live” surrounding approach to both EP’s.
The best EP to check out in my opinion is their latest HEARTBROKEN WOMAN b/w PILGRIMAGE. As it features a more full-on sound compared to their debut EP. With a few Sludgy grooves being added to Heartbroken Woman make this a heavy head-banger with a classic 70s Hard Rock charm to it all. The Psychedelic riffs can be heard in the background but they do make the music much more interesting.
The
vocals do take time to get used to but Jeremy does a great job
handling vocal duties on both EP’s.
The
EP’s are very much a work in progress and I want to hear the band
release a longer EP. As I feel with time The Epic could have a bright
future within the Doom/Stoner Rock scene. Until that moment I
recommend you check out The Epic and give their EP’s a spin.
As if you’re a fan of Classic Hard Rock and Heavy Metal but want something with modern grooves as well. My advise is to check out The Epic. They’re a killer band who deserve your time and attention.
Definite
ones to look out for in the future.
