GOATSNAKE - Flower of Disease - 2000

American Stoner/Doom legends formed in 1996 in Los Angeles, California, over the ashes of The Obsessed. After their split, drummer Greg Rogers and bassist Guy Pinhas started jamming with the great Greg Anderson (Sunn O)))), Thorr's Hammer, Burning Witch...). They soon found a vocalist in Pete Stahl (Desert Sessions, Earthlings...) and created this heavy monster : Goatsnake. They released some classics and disbanded in 2001 after some line-up changes.
They reformed back in 2004 and are coming to the Roadburn festival this year with their original line-up.
Exiting!
Flower of Disease is their last full-lenght to date.
My personal favourite.
"With Flowers of Disease, Goatsnake delivers its trademark slick, thick, and smooth guitar tones à la Kyuss meets Black Sabbath, way-low dropped tunings, heavy drumming, solid production values, and some pretty weird instrument appearances. These guys have been around the proverbial doom metal block, and it shows. Pete Stahl gives a vocal performance that is unique, melodic and dynamic in range, lending a classic doom sound that's an increasingly untypical and refreshing vocal approach in today's black-, death-, and grindcore-influenced doom metal scene. The slow- to mid-paced grooves are all the Sabbath-inspired heaviness you could hope for, but much of the album comes off like a wasted summer evening from your best memories. "Easy Greasy" has Stahl singing "Fellout and tore up/With my friends and their freaks/We laugh and lie so high it's sweet." Not only that, but the mouth harp thing, along with the slow, heavy groove, gives off this "down by the river, takin' it easy" feeling. This is a doom record though, and aside from the fact that there's plenty of mellow "let it go" attitude here, the title track is the most morose. "Flower of Disease" conjures suicidal thoughts with the lyrics "I touch these walls of this place I know/Death is standing right outside the door/I smile inside to hide the cries/The pain just loves to multiply." An enjoyable listen, this album is a perfect marriage of modern production techniques, excellent riffing, melodic classic doom, and grooving ambience."

GRAVEYARD - Self-titled - 2008

Swedish quartet formed in Gothenborg in 2006.
This one is their first and only album to date.
Classic, Bluesy, Stoner/Rock at his best.
Psychedelic 70's are back, motherfucker!
I personnally loved it at first listen.
Highly fucking recommended.
"One listen to the self-titled debut from Sweden's Graveyard and you swear that this thing was recorded in 1971. Psychedelic, often times bluesy yet heavy guitar riffs, enchanting atmosphere, swirling drum patterns, and hazy vocals, all permeate this wildly seductive hard rock album. Graveyard just drips with psychedelic menace from start to finish, and everything from the guitar riffs to the vocals is so retro 70's that you gotta love it."
"Graveyard’s self titled debut resurrects the sounds of 70’s psychedelic rock. The clash of folk, psychedelic, and blues makes for a mind-bending trip back to the days of Cream, Sabbath, and Blue Cheer. The classic vibe is evident throughout, from the masterful analog production of Don Ahlsterberg (Soundtrack of our Lives, The International Noise Conspiracy, José Gonzalez) to the wah-wah guitar solos on tracks like the urgency filled Lost in Confusion. The hard, blues infused opener Evil Ways features vocalist/guitarist Joakim Nilsson unleashing a Chris Cornell-esque howl, declaring There lies a hole in my soul, that cannot be filled. Track by track Graveyard brings back to life all that is right with rock and roll, from the dark haze that is brought upon by the space blues of Blue Soul to the rocking trip of Submarine Blues. The band proves they have what it takes to hang with the classics while delivering a sound that is all their own."
