Self-described
"swamp
master generals" Morass of Molasses will
release their new album “These Paths We Tread” on May 19th
2017 via HeviSike Records. The album's 7 tracks
blend fuzz, sludge and doom and will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the
best records of 2017.
Morass of Molasses create the kind of lumbering heavy blues
riffs which induce involuntary head nodding and a deep stirring of the loins.
The band's short life so far has also seen them sharing stages with such luminaries
of the scene as Orange Goblin, Ohhms, Vodun, Elephant Tree, Desert Storm, Space Witch, Sea Bastard, Limb, Gurt and many more. Their gutsy Jagermiester stage
performance at Bloodstock helped propel them into a relentless schedule of
touring during which they released their debut EP ‘So Flows Our Fate’.
The new album, “These Paths We Tread” is a veritable melting pot of ideas,
blended together, forming a thick stew of heavy blues with side of doom for
good measure. As in the EP before, the band uses the album as a vehicle to
explore concepts of mythic sin and ancient archetypes. The Journey we take
through life as humans is ever at the forefront, and drives the songwriting.
Without
resorting to speed runs, tapping, or other flashy distractions, Morass of Molasses focuses
on a basic formula of riff, tone, a massive backbone of rhythm supplied from
bass and drumming, and catchy, rock-laden lyrics and delivery, creating a
sinfully sweet ride through the slightly hazy and humid land they call their
soul. Gaze into it, and let the wind whistle a neat little tune into your ear
as we premiere the opening track from their monstrous new album. We give you “My Leviathan”
