Heroinne
is a new band from Trondheim Norway playing some nasty stoner rock music that
really gets under your skin and reminds me of Church of Misery at times. Sludgehammer starts things off with an intense
track with a great groove and cool middle guitar solo, riff section… The vocal is very raw but pretty cool once
you get used to him. A really cool way to start the record. Clear sight, Fogged Mind starts with drums
only and then the heavy riffs kick in and a short jam and the it is over and
off into Ultimate Fuzz Octane which slows things down but keeps it really stoney
and really raunchy vocal and totally like Church of Misery and also with some
cool guitar. Yawning Sun settles into a more relaxed stoner rock mood and takes
the aggression level down a bit and the band get a bit more spaced out, which
is cool and the longest track at 9 mins. Wendigo is a really uptempo track with
intense drumming as it slowly gets heavier and heavier until the spacey ending
in a very short track. Brained Dead kicks the stoner rock back into high gear
again and is quite groovy. Rogue Planets Galore is slow and intense and a wall
of sound. Pulsar ends the record and might remind some of Kyuss and is one of
the few tracks with longer guitar solo. I quite liked this one despite it being
mostly just riff rock and hardly any guitar solos. The band has a really
powerful sound and must be pretty cool live.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
