Review:
Blacksmoker
is a hard-rocking Stoner Metal band combining elements of Sludge,
Doom and Hard Rock to their fast and furious angry as hell sound.
Their debut album – Origins – is pure balls-to-the-wall album
packed with a ton of great riffs to knock you the fuck out.
First
track – Death Valley – is a fast-paced affair – which perfectly
sets the scene for the next 38 mins or so. Intense Stoner Metal riffs
with a slight Doom Metal/Punk Rock vibe slowly starting to come out
to play. The vocals have an Baroness type feel to them as they match
the angry as hell music Blacksmoker are throwing your way.
Second
Track – Burn Down The Thrones – only adds to the violent as hell
atmosphere played out earlier. Though the band still find time to
have fun and rock out like the pros that they are. Blacksmoker even
add a creepy Mastodon vibe to the album as the riffs go into
overdrive!!!
Blacksmoker
have created a brilliant and intense experience that you will be
playing over and over again as it seriously is a must have album.
They have crafted a refreshing take on the Stoner Metal sound as it
becomes very dark in places which sets it apart from the competition.
Tracks such as Chronos, Mind Over Mind and Saturday Destroyer hammer
the point home that these guys cannot be fucked with. Blacksmoker is
a living, breathing and dangerous riff-slaying machine that will
destroy everything in it's wake.
If
you're a fan of Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Baroness and Mastodon then
you're going to be in musical heaven as Blacksmoker take elements of
those great bands and conjure something up that still sounds so damn
fresh and original. Blacksmoker add creepy sound-bytes to their
music which gives Origins a creepy doom and gloom atmosphere which
may have you looking over your shoulder every few minutes or so.
What
more can I say about Origins – Not much. Apart from it's a must
have release and that you need to download this now. As it is
available on Buy Now Download via BandCamp. I don't know how long for
as this album is getting a great response from the Stoner Metal
community. So get downloading now. You won't be sorry. Germany has done it again with providing the world of Stoner Metal with an amazing band to check out.
Brilliant
and Highly Recommended.
