GLöD

Track Overview:

1. Cyanide Nights (5:06)

The album kicks off with some sweet Black Sabbath-like riffs, then the raw vocals come crashing in. The vocal performance of Anders Lundin has a Venom quality which injects an angry tone to the album. Plus, the aquatic bass work is a nice touch.


2. Reign of Fear (3:57)

Another quality stoner tune with great bouncing rhythm. It's like stoner rock meets punk.


3. Vintern 1867 (6:04)

There's some welcome exploration in this song. With the addition of synths and some open space jamming, this track has a 70s anti war psychedelic vibe. The angst vocals remain a constant as the contrast is great on this tune.


4. Creatures of Doom (6:09)

A sludgy tune with moments of stoner rock bliss, a great closer to the EP.

Album Nuggets

  • GLöD is a three piece with tight chemistry that pull off a very impressive debut EP

  • The anger fueled stoner rock is addictive and extremely raw sounding

  • The track "Vintern 1867" shows their willingness to break out from the typical stoner rock structure
