Sometimes, a band/album name, album artwork and/or genre tag in combination can be enough to convince me that I will dig an album; such was the case with Barishi’s Old Smoke, its spectacular artwork based around a stag, and its promise of progressive sludge metal. Grey Stag’s debut also comes from the world of sludge and also adorns eye-catching artwork featuring a stag, so signs were good here as well; however, while I do like Call Of The Mountain, it’s not charmed me quite in the way I hoped it would.

I hear lots of early Mastodon in this, but it’s much less interesting and the vocals are very much an acquired taste. I hated them the first few songs but they didn’t bother me by the end.

Steadfast Leviathan, based on its name, presumably isn't shy about how much it sounds like Mastodon's Leviathan. The vocals, in and of themselves, aren't awful, but they're definitely distractingly loud in the mix

Yeah aside from being loud they also just don’t fit the tone of the songs very well
