Stoner doom
Jul 24, 2014
Equally parts heavy and psychedelic, this early Sabbath-worshiping Swedish trio will rock you with crushing riffs and a fuzzy atmosphere that puts the 420blazeit in Monolord.

Kind of forgettable. There are a few good hooks scattered throughout but on a whole this album is lacking some oomph.

Yeah, this blows. Feels really thin and lackluster.

Alright album. It has it's moments but I agree that it does get drawn out at points.

PS. Speaking of lords:

Stoner has always the best covers ever. Very nice suggestions, Mechanist. I've been actively trying to educate myself when it comes to stoner. Those albums will be listened to.

I still can't get enough of that riff in the second track of this album.

In that case... I might see them if there are no clashes at the time. That way they might redeem themselves.

This is still one of my all-time favorite albums and nothing anyone can say will ever convince me that it isn't a contemporary masterpiece of music.

IMHO it´s good but there are better Doom/Stoner LPs out there.

Empress Rising is my fave on it.
