Review
Global Warning is the debut album from Psych/Doom/Stoner Rockers Möuth who add layers of Proto-Metal, Grunge, Fuzz and Garage Rock sounds into their music. The record is a wicked collection of tracks that can be quite retro at the best of times but one that is also thoroughly modern when the band decides to let their Doom and Stoner grooves take centre stage.
With a catchy SONIC appetite being delivered at the same time, Möuth are quite adverse in developing grooves that are inspired by European and American Stoner Rock scenes with a certai Stadium Rock energy appearing on the early parts of the album on tracks such as Holy Ground, Dirt and Speed Of Life.
I’ve seen the band being compared to the likes of Green Lung, Elephant Tree and 1000mods and those are fair comparisons to make but I see them more aligned to the 1990’s Alt Rock and Grunge scenes with the music having a killer “commercial” aspect appearing within the melodic grooves and Erik’s excellent vocals. The record is still part of the Doom/Stoner Rock underground scene with Möuth playing heavier Sludge Rock sounds within the heavier and aggressive parts of the record.
Möuth are quite adept at switching to different levels of heavy music whilst keeping with a dominant “DOOM-POP” theme. There is a huge likeability within their music and Möuth do create some epic “sing-along” moments to their tracks that remind me of FOO FIGHTERS, TORCHE and FLOOR with a killer Psych Rock swagger that screams 1970’s ROCK & ROLL excess.
There are subtle moments of DOOM & GLOOM that appear out of nowhere within the lyrical content that works superbly well despite the occurrence of the sweet natured grooves that Möuth continuously to impress throughout the album on tracks on such as: Sheep, Appetite, Alike and In My CIty.
Global Warning is an album packed full of great tunes allowing Möuth to bring a different style of music to the majority of the tracks which will impress you with the multitude of different styles of Doom/Stone Rock the band actually play on the whole album. The record can be quite understated at times but they bring a thunderous and highly energetic level of VOLUME to the album which allows Global Warning to be an outstanding debut album you seriously must own.
