Album Overview
The London-based horror themed stoner trio return with a nice 4 track release
The Speed of Death hits with a ton of raw fuzz and and energetic sludge
The vocals are on the filthy side of sludge, but not growly. Think Al Juergenson meets Matt Pike, not a bad combo
The music is freaking tight with an underlying feel of stoner psychedelia

4. Draw Blood 4:11
Standout Track(s)
Twisted Nerve Endings
The first track has it all; sludgy bass, spoken excerpts from 70s horror movies or news stories, thrusting fuzz and grinding heavy rhythms.
Draw Blood
This song slays with awesome classic metal fretwork and more trippy vocals.
Brew Pairing
Grab some St. Vrain by Colorado's Left Hand Brewing. This 9.3% Belgian-style Golden Ale is subtly strong with aromas of fruit and spice. The warm spicy flavor pulls from the character of the Belgian yeast. A great companion with The Speed of Death.
