The space between your teeth, a carnivorous black hole swallowing more than you can imagine.  From air to food and, in some cases, bodily fluids, a lot of stuff has to face this opening.  It's also something you see a lot at metal concerts.  In those cases, it usually is a huge space.  Finally, listening to this album will make that space bigger and  bigger.  You will stare at your speakers in absolute amazement with your mouth wide open, delightfully tormented by what these guys throw at you.

Keeper are a band from California, USA.  Judging from what I hear on this two-track ep, they might be responsible for some earthquakes in that area.  This is definitely one of the heaviest piece of doom and sludge metal I've ever heard.  Besides, with these vocals and the brutal, repetitive nature of the music, you might even say that this is blackened sludge doom.  It's fierce, it's hypnotic and it's bloody destructive.  It's utter despair and repentance, poured into two monolithic tracks.

Both tracks, 'The King' and 'The Fool', drive on a slow tempo, methodically hypnotizing the listener.   Thick riffs create a massive wall-of-sound on which the vocalist screams his damn lungs out.  I'm reminded of bands like Yob or Conan but Keeper certainly found an own style. With this, they certainly can compete with the Eyehategods or AmenRas of this world.  I wouldn't be surprised if I see these guys destroy venues i the near future, hopefully one anywhere near where I live.  I have to experience this live...
