Goatsnake are essentially what became of doom metal legends The Obsessed after lead singer Wino (also of Saint Vitus fame) jumped ship, the band rebuilding themselves as an even grimier, dirtier, and doomier propositon than they were when Wino was still with them. Nowhere is this more clearly audible than on their second album, the masterful Flower of Disease, which sees them lay down thick, sludgey, stoner-influenced riffs in tribute to - who else? - Black Sabbath. It might not be the most original or groundbreaking prospect ever, but as far as fuzzed-out doom metal in the nostalgia vein goes, it's really very good.
