Duel is a
new quartet from Austin, Texas. The CD
features 8 tracks of some groovy rock and roll. The title track starts things
off with a great stoner rock groove that they return to after several different
changes in the middle with a short guitar solo section and another cool change
and then they return to the theme that started it all off. This Old Crow is a
short track starts with a more intense in your face guitar before the let it
loose with a nice groove. These guys dig Clutch and Pentagram, for sure. Nice moods on this one. The Kraken changes the pace and mood as it
starts to build up into a monster of a track. Tom (guitar) has a pretty cool
voice. Shawn (bass) is also listed as vocals though. Some nice ripping guitar
going on at the end of this one. Fell to the Earth has a real footstomping
groove to start things off. Lots of good movements in this track. Side B starts
with On The Edge. Electricity is mostly another mid-fast paced track which
slows down on some of the vocal parts. A bit Pentagram like perhaps? When the
Pigs are Fed is one of the more intense musical pieces thought the vocal is
pretty laid back. The band always comes back to the foot stomping groove
though. Locked Outside closes this Texas-clutch-groove-pentagram-witchcraft rocker.
The last track is actually my favorite on the record as it has so many cool
dynamics, a great solo, some acoustic guitars, floating spirit and heavy stuff
too. Pretty cool album..
