Genre: Stoner rock
Sounds Like: 1000MODS, Demonauta, Church of Misery
Homeland: Indonesia
Track Overview:
1. The Siren (4:22)
Kicking off the album with the enthusiastic stoner riffage. This song has a rawness quality that feels a live studio performance.
2. Kingdom Off Illusion (6:26) standout track
This track is heavy and bluesy. Love the imperfect vocal style, as it adds a grittiness feel to the album.
3. Satan Soul (5:01)
Infectious percussion leads the way with a heavy dose of fuzz. The dd as slight echoed vocals is a nice touch.
4. Demon Slayer (7:46)
A great last tune. This track harnesses tremendous fuzz with great jamming, it almost has a Church of Misery feel.
Album Nuggets
It's not often we hear stoner bands from Indonesia. We hope this album will catapult the scene here.
Mythology is an album that seems to get better with each passing rotation. The raw fuzz will sink in.
For an album laced with heavy riffs, there are a ton of change ups and bits of psychedelia thrown at us.
Brew Pairing
Molten Mirrors by Indiana based 3 Floyds Brewing. This 6.6% Ale has aromas of sour peach and subtle flavors of tropical fruit, pears, and citrus. It has a light body and a slightly sour taste. A great pairing with Mythology.
