It’s
the July edition of THE SLUDGELORD’s 666 PACK REVIEW!
Festival season is in full swing,
temperatures are at their peak and the submissions to THE SLUDGELORD
have been pretty good so far this summer, will that trend continue into
July??? Hopefully I didn’t jinx anything and it’s time
to review bands! If you’re new to this,
each and every month we handpick 6 review submissions and critique them by only
using 6
words, then we rate them on a scale from 1 to 666! Check
out our festival themed rating scale below:
1
– Festivals are light years away for you…
2
– When the local promoter organizes a “festival”, you might get an invite.
3
– Not too shabby. Maybe Riff Fest (UK)
or Stoner Meadow of Doom (USA) will notice your chops?
4 – You just leveled up to
Maryland Doom Fest (USA) and Doom over Vienna (AUT) status.
5
– You’re definitely on your way to getting an invite from Roadburn.
666
– THE SLUDGELORD thinks that either a Hellfest, Wacken or even
a Download Festival could be in your future one day!
Caveat: Even though the 666 PACK REVIEW is meant to offer
humorous critique, there are no safe spaces here and your gripes will only make
you sound like a bellyacher. THE SLUDGELORD is a picky listener…and doesn’t care what
you think of his opinions….
