Murder1000Deaths
I was skeptical at first when I heard about this MONOLITH of music. 79 whole minutes of pure metal. But, it doesn't matter. I was ready to get my head crushed.

The flicking sounds of a lighter and a bong hit (or rip?) start out the piece. For the first seven minutes, the repeated strums begin to hypnotize you. In the background, two distorted voices recite a passage from the Book of Revelation, a story about a dragon taking a woman's son and creating the apocalypse. Suddenly, the guitars launch into a crunching riff, accompanied with heavy drums and deep bass. This refuses to let up for a huge time. Around 25:00, an enormous bass drum blast beat enters, and more guitars come crashing down. This song is relentless, and chugs on like a terribly angry train. Near the second half of the song, a quieter riff enters the picture, but of course reverts back to the massive riffery. At the end of the song, a repititive riff closes, reduced eventually to only the bass playing the riff, making for a very satisfying end.

This is a sonic journey. It's not for the faint of heart. However, it is an essential for stoner doom fans. It's a shame that Bongripper is unsigned currently. A new LP re-release of this album came out this year with a fresh new album cover from the same guy who illustrated Bongripper's recent LP "Satan Worshipping Doom". I would recommend this to any metal fan, casual or hardcore. They just have to be willing to experience a song that kicks fucking iron giant ass. Yeah, that much.
