I love everything this band has ever done!

This is glorious. It's the new punk. Play it backwards and you hear angels. Listen to it in an iso tank.

Great riffs with a Fates Warning vibe!

In USA our exposure to Australia amounts to two 35 year old movies and a crappy steakhouse that serves a decent blue cheese salad.

Not any more! Fellow Americans, embrace Vessel! This is a really, really good twist on stoner, desert rock. The vocals are top notch! The riffs are many and they are thunderous. Good production. Hit play then hit pay!!!

RELEASE THE JAMS!!! Killer stoner rock with the always needed tongue-in-cheek retro sci-fi element.

Vocals are upper register without conjuring that dufus from Chemical Romance. The breakdown in Astro Cruiser is badass. Excellent Fu Manchu and Sword influences here.

My question to the band: "Why only two songs???" Get back to the rehearsal room, lads!

Sitting in the crappy lobby of the shittiest hotel in Houston's lamest suburb. Bedbug found! I moved to another slightly less vile room. The coffee sucks here. One of those "kill me now" moments, right?

Not really, because today I discovered Angelic Desolation.

It's a precious commodity missing in most all death metal - a sense of irony and self awareness. These dudes have assembled a total package of sonic pummeling, supremely funny lyrics and visually intriguing artwork. Kill me now!!!

I didn't know what a fumarole is. It's "an opening in or near a volcano, through which hot sulfurous gases emerge." Perfect!

Bass opening riff - check!
Heavy duty guitar and drums lock in with precision - check!
Proper weed reference - check!

"Ghost Smoke follows the migration of escaped slaves on a hostile mining planet." Concept album coming, right???!!! We want more!

Brutal and relentless. So much to love about this hateful, hateful music! Stretch or do yoga or whatever before you listen to this cause you're about to be pummelled!!!
