A putrid cesspool of filth, misery and misanthropy, pustulating, sickening and insurmountable, that is probably one of the best compliments I can give this album by American doom mongrels Drug Honkey. And believe me, that is an actual compliment. This album is a monstrosity, in the best possible way, obviously. If you're into slow, death metal infused doom, you should look no further as you have found the holy grail of deranged musical insanity. Hurray.

The songs on this album represent an hallucinogenic nightmare. They're slow, sluggish, like a thick layer of tar weighing on your very soul and oozing out of your speakers. Then there are the vocals, or better, the intense and harsh screams of a madman. They grab you by the throat, clawing through your skin and onto your larynx until you suffocate. The massive axes of the drums eventually finish the job with sheer precision.

I can easily say that this album is a stunning piece of doom metal but that would be an understatement. I mean, I love doom. I'm not always fond of its little brother, sludge metal, but what Drug Honkey delivered effortlessly thrashes most of the competition. Doom fans of all ages should make sure that this album is a part of their collection. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in the near future, this one stands next to the absolute genre classics.
