I forget where I heard about this album—someone’s Mastodon post, I’m sure—but it has been on my list to listen to all week. I finely got around to it today.

Holy cannoli! It is great!

I tend not to go in much for stoner/sludge metal, as I find it all sort of blends together for me. This album has a lot of variety to it, and some pretty great (and heavy) grooves. And the tone on the guitars is just about perfect. If I had to pick a stand-out track, it would probably be “Cryptids”, but the whole album is just really good.
