The Moscow based band, The
Re-stoned are back with their 9th release. I have only heard the
ones that have been released on vinyl but this is a well evolving band. The
leader, guitarist, Ilya also plays in Maat lander and other projects as well. Side
A starts off with The Sirens of Titan with some great stoner rock riffs and
some cool guitar solos before going off into a more dreamy part with a sort
keyboard like sounding guitar and this is how the jam ends going into Human
without body which kicks in with some nice slide guitar work. Eventually, the
track turns into a bit more doomy riffing before the return of the slide for
the solo section. Amazing guitar solo and a cool use of effects pedals. Ilya is
a master. Save me under the Emerald Grass has some beautiful melodies and nice
acoustic guitar work to start. Side B starts with the Psychedelic Soya BBQ and
another cool slide guitar work out but mixed with some cool effects and a sort
of laid back bluesy feel. Great track. OC44 brings back the rocking and killer
guitar to start and then the acoustic guitar is layered in as well to nice
effect and beauty. Then the classic HM riff kicks in again. The title track,
Chronoclasm closes out this album. This one starts with a very interesting
guitar riff and sound and also some layers of slide once again. These themes
repeat over and over a few times and then a new twist is introduced and off
they go….. The 2nd side of the record seems to have a bit more
multilayer guitars going on. Anyway, I love this record and have been spinning
it a lot.. Great band.
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..
