Review
Doom/Stoner Metallers November Fire return with the second single and title track from their upcoming album Doom Blues due out later this year. This song is quite a progressive and seedy number set amongst the Doomed Out Cosmos with fuzzy guitars perfectly setting the scene for this space rock adventure. If you ever wondered what would happen if Monster Magnet, Danzig and Type O Negative joined creative forces then this is perhaps the best possible outcome. As Doom Blues is a slow paced number with areas of Doom, Fuzz, Grunge and Stoner Rock sounds with a dangerous aura of destructive forces hidden behind the scenes.
The vocals are equally outlandish thanks to the great work of Terry Aubie who projects his maddening “Dave Wyndorf” highly inspired persona whilst offering a true Post-Punk spirit amongst the most surreal moments where the excellent lyrics really come into their own. The music itself has a warped identity of its own and is never afraid to be truly outlandish and outrageous in equal measure especially within the slow-to-mid paced delivery of the whole song.
Though, my favourite aspect of Doom Blues is how November Fire overlaps different areas of Psych, Rock, Drone and Fuzz Rock grooves into a slightly nightmarish Stoner Rock style with that classic Blues Rock element finally starting to break free from the madness of it all. The later stages of the song is where all hell breaks loose where every member of the band (Terry Aubie, Dave Hubai and Jim Kelley) all try to wrestle full control of the band with some epic instrumental solos developing before unity is restored for a highly impressive finish that leaves you fully satisfied.
On the basis of this track alone then I’m quite excited to say that Doom Blues is one of my most anticipated records to listen and review before the year is out.
