Mother Iron Horse - Under the Blood Red Moon


What do you do when you form a filthy Sludge band but the riffs

keep morphing into Doom dirges. And then the guitarists insist on

spraying distorted psych stoner solos over everything? 

 

Well, you call yourself Mother Iron Horse and produce 8 tracks of

brilliant sounding sonic denseness.

 


For me, this is the perfect mix of doom and sludge with some

outstanding guitar leads to make things have a really drugged out,

trippy but menacing vibe.

 

Instruments are down-tuned and brimming with enough distortion

to make your teeth start to shatter. Walls of sound are made deeper

by the tribal drumming that drives the songs along. Vocals are not

the tired "cookie monster" grunting but have an almost hardcore

intensity and passion.  

 

I cannot stop playing this - it has the epic majesty of doom but with

the anger and power of sludge - out on Ripple Music November 5th.
