Chron Goblin are a 4 piece stoner metal/rock band who formed in Calgary, Canada in 2009. The line-up has remained stable since formation with Josh Sandulak – vocals, Devin “Darty” Purdy – guitar, Brett Whittingham –drums and Richard Hepp – bass all having met 4 years previously at university. The band have a wide range of influences including Black Sabbath, Kyuss, ZZ Top, The Allman Bros, Orange Goblin, The Sword and Sandulak in particular having some punk influences.

They released an EP in a ltd edition of 1000 in 2010 which was followed a year later by their debut album “One Million From The Top”. Their second album “Life For The Living” was released in 2013 and like all the bands records so far was self-financed from live gigs and T-shirt sales. A third album is recorded and set for release in late 2015.

Described as stoner rock, this album by Chron Goblin doesn't seem content to cozy up with some "buds" and chill in the vapours. It's more like bust and grind. The songs just explode out of the speakers: bombastic guitar chords, crashing drums, and a voice that could make a bull moose feel threatened. Power! That's my impression track after track. The energy of punk and the impact of metal. This is like being shot from a cannon through a brick wall with anvils strapped to your limbs! Perhaps at times like The Sword but with a different approach to the vocals and riffs.

A lot of the songs end abruptly, so it's a bit of a surprise when "Blood Flow" suddenly stops right in the middle of the track and then slams in a new riff that's like getting your face repeatedly smushed across a rough concrete surface by some huge, ugly beast of a torture maniac.

The only time things finally cool down a bit is for the closing track, "Any Day", which is like a doom metal/stoner ballad. Not love song. Just slower tempo.

It's tough to find a track that stands out above the others, but I'll say that "Anesthetize" is pretty kick ass. Love the line, "I want excitement!" That sums up the music of this track and most of the album. These guys must work up a real sweat performing live.

Not much more to say but great driving music!
