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.
