This is Portland's Red Fang's second album. They play a superheavy kind of "stoner-rock" and is cleary inspired by Kyuss and other bands in the same category that were popular in the 90's. They mix in a more modern style of modern stoner like many many other american bands do right now. For example Kylesa seems to be an inspiration.
Is it any good? Here and there it grooves and they manage to make some good songs, or part of songs, but overall there's too much of heavy riffing and meaningless chaos with not much more to it. We've heard it all before so many times.
1)Malverde (6,5) Ultraheavy hardcore metal.
2)Wires (7,5) Stoner-like monotone riffing with finesse.
3)Hank is dead (8,0) Good stuff! Great tempochanges.
4)Dirt wizard (5,5) Raw! Too weird and chaotic.
5)Throw up (7,5) Good slow and heavy and a change of tempo after 3.30 Too chaotic ending. Meaningless.
6)Painted paradise (3,5) No no. Meaningless track. Only chaos.
7)Number thirteen (6,0) First good but a terrible part in the middle destroys the song.
8)Into the eye (5,5)
9)The undertow (5,5) Slow psychadelia/mushroom music.
10)Human herd (7,0)
Score: 6,25
