This is a really new band for me and some quite cool heavy
psychedelic stuff at times. The band hails from Italy and describe themselves
as a heavy blues trio! This album is a compilation of the two EPs they have had
on bandcamp. Not sure if they are rerecorded or not. It has a powerful sound
production. The LP starts off with the title track which has a massive affected
vocal. I was worried if all the vocals were like this but they are not. Heavy,
spacey and groovy but not very bluesy this opening track. Temple of Dust starts
with a heavy bass line before the rest of the band kicks in for some heavy
rock. Like the last song there is a bit of spacey guitar solo stuff but damn,
it is just too short. Just as I am drifting
off with the track it ends and back to the same riff again.. Would be cooler
with less repetitive riff and more space out. Requiem for the Sun has another
very fuzzy and hard riff with some cool guitar effects. Blue Cheer, yeah!!!
Szandor is a more experimental track that has a long vocal sample monologue
running through the entire track and a nice melodic line in the background
guitar and bass is played over the top. You can hear the sample clear enough if
you really listen. It ends and the band, continue doing what they were doing
before until the ultimate fade out. Thunder Blues has a more stoner blues
groove to it and an intense vocal. Goliath is more bluesy as well and that
intense vocal effect that was on the opening number returns. Intense. Lady
Brown brings the Blue Cheer vibe back and an interesting middle section before
returning to the main vocal theme. White Owl is the last track and totally different from all the others and focusing on just bass and guitar. A great way to end the album after such a heavy and intense 30mins or so. Phew..
