I�ve never heard such a magnificent combination of 70ies doom sound and modern heaviness. This is really like taking the stoned-out, semi-hippie, psychedelic musicians of the 70ies and introducing them to the 21st century. It�s no surprise that the band thanks Black Sabbath and Electric Wizard for inspiration. Awesome rocking stoner riffing with a killer vocalist that really sounds drugged, and/or drunk, out of his mind. But in a good way, it first the music perfectly. The sound is thick and heavy while still keeping that rough lo-fi, DIY edge.
I don�t do narcotics, but I can imagine this would be the perfect album for an evening of smoking some happy-stuff. Since I�ve never heard of the band before, and their drummer is Guyome of the goregrind act Pulmonary Fibrosis, this came as a total surprise. Absolutely excellent!

Tracklist:
01. Howlin� bottle doom
