Review
Chimpgrinder released 3 excellent releases from 2012 to 2014 with Volume 666 being released in January 2012. Oliver in August 2012 with Simian Space King following in May 2014. All 3 releases were great examples of the Black Sabbath template of Doom/Stoner Metal with elements of Punk, Sludge, Southern Metal and Blues Rock being heard within the bands overall sound.
Fast Forward to 2022 and all 3 releases have been banded together into one kick-ass package by Electric Talon Records called Chimgrinder: Remasters. You may notice the new album cover heavily inspired by classic Black Sabbath artwork and logos. Well, that tells you want to expect with this great release with all 3 releases given a full remix and remaster to make a superb sounding three album anthology. Though, you can expect to hear NOLA vibes and even early-era SLEEP on certain parts of the album.
If you're new to Chimpgrinder's world then this is perhaps the best place to start with everything held in one place. My favourite releases of Chimpgrinder have always been Volume 666 and Simian Space King but it's good to have all 3 of their celebrated releases housed in one glorious package.
Give this a try and be prepared to be slayed by the heavy SABBATHIAN sounds and dirty Sludgy grooves of the mighty CHIMPGRINDER.
