Shrinebuilder - S/T





Supergroups keep popping up these days, with the likes of Chickenfoot (Boo! Hiss!), The Dead Weather (*crickets), Bloodbath (-Snore-) and Them Crooked Vultures (...meh) and most of them don't live up to the parts that make the whole. This band features members of Wino/St. Vitus, Neurosis, Melvins and Om/Sleep; let me tell you right now, this shit is as the kids say 'off da hook'. Highly recommended for fans of any of these. This ass-ripping cut of sly Psychedelic Doom will make your skull rattle if you already couldn't tell by its pedigree. This record is a monument to what's coming out of Neurot, Southern Lord and Ipecac; some of the best labels on the circuit. You need something to chill you out while still maintaining a heavy-handed atmosphere? Then this is for you. Did I mention that it was recorded in only THREE DAYS?! That means that this promises to be raw and powerful as if it was fresh out of the amplifier oven. Scott Kelly of Neurosis equates it as a record that reinforces "music as a religion and a means of communication. I listen to this project more than any other I've worked with and I listen to it LOUD". I highly recommend this for anyone who loves Doomy music or is looking to get into it for the first time. As always, you should buy this if you enjoy it; the boys at Neurot deserve it. The probability that if you don't and you enjoy it, you may not see another record from this supergroup.
