Band request from France.
Mudbath play a superb mix of doom-tainted sludge that
threatens to obliterate everything in its path. Despairing, bleak
vocals howl out a litany of fury that are always fighting to be
heard above the fat, heavy guitar tones that are crashing out
gargantuan riffs.
This album is made up of 3 long tracks that take you to a dark swamp,
cut your eyes with razors and leave you to slowly sink into the mire.
Passages within the songs do pick up the pace at times before descending
back into the thick, bad-drug vibe that pervades the Mudbath sound.
The crowning glory as far as I am concerned, are the outrageously
fuzzed guitar solos that forge the psychedelic with the heavy - kinda
like Vanilla Fudge crossed with Electric Wizard. At times I find this
genre sometimes suffers from a generic template but in my eyes,
Mudbath have produced one of my albums of the year.
Highly recommended!
