Probably, as you have found by now, the guitars are the driving force behind this magnificent album, although not exclusively. Powerfully sculpting the amazing harmonies of the songs, the musical creation as a whole is a major achievement, giving Electric Abyss a very special signature. Being very far away of an ordinary or common stoner album, this work is a lucid combination of timing, musical form and strikingly crafted melodies. Certainly the work of skilled, technically talented and very proficient musicians, they obviously managed very well the creation of a very authorial style of instrumental rock.
There is not a single song on this album that I would evaluate as minor or insignificant. And, although the rhythms of the songs are predominantly slow, you will never feel bored or unsatisfied. And this highlights a paradox: the overall harmonies of the songs are quite simple, never too complex or arranged in incomprehensible mathematical patterns. Nevertheless, they brilliantly stand at the height of a monumental musical excellence, easily extracting a formidable, impeccable and sensational sound of virtuous artistic input, marvelously amplified by the intuitive nature of their organic sonorous synergy.
Electric Abyss is a fabulous album. With influences of southern rock, and traditional rock’n’roll as well – perfectly diluted in the overflowing originality of their own sound – Hazy Sea is a spectacular and passionate stoner rock act from Greece, that has everything necessary to achieve their place on the scene. I have never a heard a band with such a simple music, that could sound so ostensibly wonderful. Electric Abyss is simply a great album! You have to listen for yourself, in order to possibly believe.
