Review
Doom/Stoner Metallers BORRACHO release their latest record Eternos which is a covers EP where the band pay homage honoring five beloved friends and musical influences who have passed on over the years. This is a great collection of tracks honouring Dave Sherman (Spirit Caravan), Rev. Jim Forrester (Foghound), Will Mecum (Karma To Burn), Bruce Falkinburg (The Hidden Hand) and Robert “Strings” Dahlqvist (The Hellacopters). BORRACHO bring their legendary style of Streetwise Doom/Stoner Metal to some classic tracks whilst remaining true to the original versions.
Sometimes the sound is more aggressive, heavier and more sludge obsessed compared to the originals especially with the excellent vocals as well. However, BORRACHO pulled off a masterclass performance on all of the tracks especially on Fang, Keep On Shovelling and Twenty Nine. The music is superbly contained with BORRACHO allowing each of the individual tracks to have their own sound and feel which perfectly captures the bands that they’re paying huge respect to with Damyata and A Heart Without A Home being actual new tracks that I haven’t had much experiences with. Though, I can see why the guys have picked these tracks.
Eternos has excellent production values throughout with BORRACHO maintaining that seedy underground style which has served them well throughout their own epic career. After delivering a standout album in 2025 with OUROBOROS, it’s good to see the band trying something different with Eternos whilst giving something back to the Doom/Stoner Metal scene.
