This band has some incredibly beefy vibes. If you took a Randy Rose, added some thick and slow Crucified with a pinch of The Prayer Chain, you would have what is brewing in my stereo. And let me tell you, I've never tasted something so yummy in a long time.
The menu of intense proportions offers a starved listener some big, raw vocals, extra seasoned guitars, a hefty side order of bass and drums that hit the spot.
The chunky, grooving guitars in "Think," "Blur," "Trip" and "Rope" remind me of the large chunks of food that get stuck in the back of my teeth after devouring one of my Granny's outrageous roast beef dinners. Hours later, the beef still taste great.
"Home" is kind of like those mints you get after a dinner at a nice restaurant. You know - the kind you give to the people you ate with so their breath won't stink. "Words" and "Death" are like that favorite meal you could eat everyday for the rest of your life.
The recipes for these songs are extremely creative, thought provoking and highly nutritious. I don't know about you, but I'm going back for seconds.
