Man,what a brilliant effort by crowbar.I have only listened to it once but absolutely loving it.
Musically the album is very different from the last album lifesblood ..
This album combines the best of earlier,as in very early crowbar in terms of the straight in your face heaviness and playing style but importantly combines the melody and agonizing downtune and slowness of odd fellows rest.
The most important factor here is Kirk's Vocal.He has always been good and unique but he has definitely found a second wing.It is more powerful and refined as the album goes through straight in the face punk inspired brutality and heavy doom.
All in all this album is a grower and it is going to be one of the best Metal releases of this year...
To Quote Kirk,"I may be old and fat,but I will give you a lesson in Slow and Heavy!!".
