Here it is! the brand new album of these guys from Bilbo, and one of the most anticipated of this year. As it was expected they doesn´t disappoint, they have made again a colossal work, following his particular point of view of what heavy music is. The album sounds fat, powerful and with an outstanding production. Its distinctive sound is the house brand. Enormous!

Very interesting record, the fourth one of the band. Nice mix of slow stonerized rock, folk and psychedelia, all of it wrapped in the caractheristic voice of  Dave Heumann. The record is inspired in The Red Book of Carl Jung and it really has "something" that hooks you up. Don´t let it go!

Magnific third album of these peruan doomers. Down-tempo sonorities but with a little touch of psychedelia and ethnic parts. It´s worth to point out too the excellent work of the guitars, specially in the solo parts. If you like Reino Ermitaño and similar bands, you ´ll enjoy this album.

*sorry, I cannot find videos for that record.

2. Into the Sacred Grove 07:35
3. Rheopolis 10:01
4. Volkerwanderung 11:03
5. Return to the End of the Beginning 11:21

 Think about Sleep, Electric Wizard, mix them with Kyuss, and then add a saxophone... Progressive doom-stoner as a result!. The sound of the saxo fits perfectly with that kind of music, and give to it and original touch that becomes a breath of fresh air. Really nice surprise from Finland. Highly recommended.
