Bio:
Ultra
heavy improv-rich riff-rock! John coltrane was awesome in the we he
erupted and the band all came back together again with great hooks.
That's what we attempt to do.
Listening
to our jam-metal is like lubricating your ears with fine oil while a
dragon slithers inside your mind as you crush stuff with a battle
axe!
Procession
Of Trampling Hoof" is the second Sun Shepherd album. The
ultra-heavy processions of tectonic rock/doom riffage are underlying
in all songs. The tones are subducting, drawing us deeper towards the
core as a result of their inertia and specific gravity. The
guitar/bass/drums jams are fuelled from the energy within these
individuals, who's instruments are the voices that uplift mountains
and volcanoes, giving life and experience to the world above.
The
overlying set of lyrics--that is, the volcanic ash could--all
generally relate to the Mystery of Experience that each one of us, at
one time or another, is confronted by. What is our true source of
strength? What will the large-time unfolding of events bring, and how
will it be dealt with? How far can we get in this life? What mask
shall we wear?

Review:
I have to thank
excellent radio station – Hand Of Doom Radio – for this tip for
this awesome and almighty Doom/Cosmic/Jam Metal band from Down Under.
Damn these Aussies can
rock out with the best of them. Sun Shepherd are here to blow you
entire world apart with their amazing new album – Procession of
Trampling Hoof. You need to download this now from BandCamp now as
it's available for free download. Get it before they are gone...
What can you expect
from the album. Epic slabs of Sabbathian based Doom Metal infused
with superb jam based Stoner Metal riffs. Watch out for those crazy
possessed vocals as they are as powerful of the riffs the band have
created to possess your soul.
First track –
Prevails The Beast – is an eerie demonic affair with a lot going on
so you will definitely need your wits about you for this track. Sun
Shepherd play their music heavy, angry and loud with slight occult
vibe lurking in the background.
If you're a fan of
Sabbath, Trouble, Pentagram, YOB and Saint Vitus then Sun Shepherd
are your new overlords waiting to sell your souls too....
Sun Shepherd embrace
the energy of those legendary bands while still maintaining their own
demonic identity within the albums 60 minute running time. Don't let
that epic running time put you off as the time just flies by. Riff
after Riff are thrown at you from every direction. The instrumental
work is excellent through out especially the drumming as it's intense
and from the start.
My advice – Play this
album in a dark room and the loudest speakers you have. Crank up the
volume to Max and you will soon be in musical heaven or hell
depending on the type of mood you're in.
Check out tracks –
Goat-Head Awakening, Ant Of The Mound and Awaiting The Firepit – to
see why Sun Shepherd have released one of the finest Doom Metal bands
this year. Epic riffs matched with eerie tales of darkness which
embraces the darkness lurking in us all.
Download this now as
you're going to love this album. It's a fucking brilliant album.
Embrace the riff!!!!
