Review:
The stoner rocking doomsters, Peacemaker, are back! After getting much deserved attention from their "Album Sampler" teaser, "Cult .45" really showcases their full arsenal. With their eyes set on the horizon, these Londoners are ready to shove the barrel down your throats.
"The Siberian Problem" has riffs galore. It will have you chanting, "BLOOD AND SOIL!" with clenched fists for days. The same goes for "Follow The Rats." Al Osta's lyrics create such great imagery! Landscapes of destruction and death fill your mind in the most pleasurable way. "Dead Man's Keys" and "Mane of Serpents" let you catch your breathe and appreciate the slower pace. The sequencing of "Cult .45" is well thought out and really helps the listener enjoy the album to its fullest potential.
With your pipe reloaded and ready to go, "Soul Cheater" turns up the heat! Bust out your air guitar and try not to break a string. "Journey of the Faithful" really felt like a journey that you want to experience over and over again. A well crafted song that's over before you know it. Rich Maw's drumming, Al Lawson's bass wizardry, and Sam Taylor's riffs and solo make this song a highlight for me. Hell, this whole album is a highlight for me. A very solid release! Proof given in "Sorrow Trip," which brings the doom! This is mother-in-law heavy. Down tuned to hell and slower than your worst work day. Closing out the album, the instrumental "Grey Sky" makes you fall back to earth so that you can press play all over.
Peacemaker came with guns blazing! Loaded with heavy slugs, "Cult .45" is a triumphant debut that gets better with every listen. Pick up the CD from Distortion Plus sometime this coming week and stream it now right here, exclusively, at The Sludgelord!
