This
is a fairly new project featuring Mike from BONG on guitars, Sam Booth- Drums,
and Jerome Smith on bass. They started putting stuff up on bandcamp back in
2013 and released their debut on Burning World Records called Sick on my
Journey last August. I did not manage to hear that record but the sample I
heard of this one made me want to buy it.
The album features 5 tracks over the two sides of brain damaging music. Side
A opens with Dead in the Temple and gives you the first sonic glimpse. The
sound of the record is such that you feel like these three guys just smoked a
big joint or bong, grabbed the instruments and cranked up the volume in a large
room with a lot of reverb and just set forth to another universe with the drums
and bass keeping a simple stoned groove while Mike just plays totally
psychedelic, fuzzy, distorted guitar and multi-layered at one point…. Pretty
mindblowing opening track. Strung out beyond the Rim, starts a bit slower but
it has a cool guitar riff that is repeated over and over until you are
thoroughly hypnotized. Blue at Noon starts the side B and the aural assault of
the mind kicks in straight away, with hardly a warning, with air raid siren
like guitar, dropping bombs in the mind. It eventually becomes a bit less
intense and then Mike does some more double layering of the spaced out heavy
fuzz guitar. Void in Aimless Flight and Unbroken Reign of the Violent Yagyu end
side B in a stoned haze of fuzz… I
do not recommend cranking this one up in the headphones as you will be left
with a totally blasted and shattered mind… Phew….. advice from the Doctor.
