Fuck knows what they put in the water down there
in Denmark but Lophius are a doom/stoner band that
tick all the right boxes.
This is one mother of a low-end beast.
All the riffs capture the groove of stoner
and the heaviness of doom with admirable results.
Fuzzed out, distorted tunes with tempo changes power
along, showing the potential of what interplay between a
trio can achieve, the rhythm section pounding out a bedrock
for the guitar to fill in the gaps.
The vocals are a growl/clean and fairly low in
the mix which is where I like 'em. The overall feel is
very much in the vein of Sleep in full "Dopesmoker" mode and
I hope that this band can progress in this sometimes overcrowded
genre to wider acclaim.
