New Orleans groove metal, three records deep. Anyone familiar with Phil, COC, and any of the fine stoner/swamp rock bands from NOLA, you know what yer in for.
Falsetto-howled classic heavy metal with plenty of throat-scratched snarl. Double-bass thunder, silly lyrics, and grooves/breakdowns to move your ass..
You can dance to it, it should get played on The World Music Café, it’s got a groove David Byrne could understand, and the tunes are actual distinct songs.
It was a good idea the first time, and it’s a good idea now, although four discs worth of ’70s covers does seem to be pushing things to the saturation point.
Australian seductress/occasional Zero 7 vocalist Sia should be no stranger to anyone who indulges in the air-y, sensual chillout sort of TV soundtrack ambience.
The four tracks veer from black metal screeching to dreamy Isis/Pelican-style post-rockery to downtuned stoner thudding, sometimes in just a few minutes.
