DEVIL ELECTRIC-DEVIL ELECTRIC-

As the true rulers of steady and firm Stoner/Doom/Blues rock oriented Music are fading away from the Music scenes, there´s a fresh breath of newcomers that will kick your balls in the same category and have had the benefit to learn from the masters (read Black Sabbath, Candlemass) and bring this genre a step forward. Australia´s Devil Electric can be filed under the same band´s like Electric Citizen, Electric Wizard and Ruby the Hatchet but here we do have more doom and gloom in the package.

This debut release is just of the presses(2017) and brings a new perspective with led-Heavy riffs and enchanting vocals by Pierina O´Brien. The production is top notch with great interaction between guitar/bass and drums. The band drives the vocals forward and it sounds pretty good.. 🙂 The blue print songstyle invented by Black Sabbath is very present but then again every Heavy stoner blues outfit will get that comparison…

Whatabout the drummer, Mark Van de Bleek?? Well this is just like the five o´clock train, steady on the rails with great delivery and good striking abilities. As this is a debut album you almost could expect a bit of caution and “held back” in the drive and technical department. This is not a bad drummer but I feel  he´s got a harness and will certainly deliver more on the road. I just have to wait and see!! Exciting!! 🙂

This is a very good album in the genre that erase´s the clear border´s between true stoner acts like Asteroid, Kadavar and Uncle Acid. The album flavour things up with catchy songwriting and toetapping passages without going to Deep into that bottomless swamp of darkness and misery…

Hurry up and Catch a limited copy for a decent dollar and turn the volume knob far right and just enjoy some great familiar Music on high volume!! This is just Splendid….. 🙂
