Album Overview
Formerly known as Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, MWWB take us into their futuristic psychedelic doom world
The Harvest shows a more polished sound from previous releases
The percussion is dense and the guitars fill the room with sludge driven rhythms, you won't find many solos, if at all
MWWB are an unusual doom band, their style is very unique thanks to the combination of trippy synths and the vocal work of Jessica Ball
The synths used throughout the album are an important part of their sound. They are used in a smart way and by no means take away from their signature doom vibe
Jessica's vocals are in top form on this release, she has this sensual robotic sound and its fits perfectly within the doom sludge
Throughout this album you will hear a few synth-driven interludes. At first this threw is for a loop, but after a few rotations, they just blend right in and help create a cinematic feel to the album
The album cover is perfect as it showcases the style of music to a tee
Fans of doom sludge who want something different, this is the perfect album to add to your heavy rotation

This song is sci-fi doom at it's finest. With the uplifting stellar vocals floating among sludge and comforting bass, it's just hits all the right notes.
