I was watching 'Such Hawks, Such Hounds' this morning, the unmissable American Hardrock underground documentary -call it Stoner rock if you please, that features, among tons of others, the guy I wanna see live one day or another : Robert Scott "Wino" Weinrich.And this naturally leads to this new post.
Wino teamed up with Jean-Paul Gaster (CLUTCH) and Jon Blank (REZIN) to give birth to his long-awaited solo effort, the combination of riffs and melodies he had in stock for years, but never could lay on tape.
The result is a strong, varied and vibrant album. Fans will immediately praise the undisputed Doom Master and worship. But how could things be different?
As always, Southern Lord Records did a hell of a great job with this must-have release : heavy weight cardboard gatefold sleeve with special pocket for the 4-songs bonus 10". There's a 'forest green' mailorder edition limited to 500 copies.
The bonus 10" is comprised of :
Chest Fever [The BAND cover]
Der Gift (the Poison)
The Comet and the Moon
On the (Sacrificial) Lam
Loved it. Was expecting more variety, but it's definitely pure Wino, and his songwriting only improves over time.
