Review:
Lizzard
Wizzard made an almighty splash into the world of Sludge/Stoner Metal
back in November 2013 when they released their acclaimed S/T debut
album with it's rough mix of down-tempo Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs
with a heavy sideline in finely tuned Doom Metal.
Well
those demented and talented Aussies are back with their blistering
new EP – Dankrupt. Fans of Sleep, High On Fire, Black Sabbath and
Kyuss will be foaming at the mouth as Dankrupt is one heavy, brutal
exercise in noise and volume. Opening track Dankrupt is played at a
menacing slow pace with depressing vocals to match. Whilst their
debut album had a groovy tongue in cheek vibe, Dankrupt is a
different beast altogether as Lizzard Wizzard are almost enjoying the
unflinching brutality they put you through.
It's
back to normal business on the last track – The Ghost Of Randy
Savage – another brutal offering that combines heavy as hell riffs
with Lizzard Wizzard's sneaky and sarcastic sense of humour. In
honour of the great man himself, this track will pin you into
submission or pile-driver the hell out of you. Shades of High On Fire
start to appear and that is no bad thing as Lizzard Wizzard prove
once again they are one of the finest upcoming Sludge/Stoner Metal
bands Australia has to offer.
I
hope there is another full length record from these guys in 2015 as
Dankrupt reminded me how awesome these guys actually are. It's a
shame the guys couldn't include another song to end the EP with.
Until then, Dankrupt is a must have release. Whatever you do,
download this now as it's available on BandCamp Buy Now Download.
Brilliant
and Highly Recommended.
