With a name like OPIUM LORD you are definitely going to expect something pretty big in its sound but going by title alone I was expecting some run of the mill Doom/Drone monotony and luckily for me I was wrong in my narrow minded guess work.

What we have here is some nasty little beast that at first listen holds the same sheer brutality as bands like ‘The Abominable Iron Sloth’ with its trudging but epic pace all blending with the slight uneasy melody that you would find in a ‘Yob’ tune. 2 bands that people should be using as their influences. The vocals lead the songs in such a way that it makes me hang off my seat, tops marks to the screaming and pissed off little bastard!

In other words, its HUGE sounding and and makes you feel very uneasy.. Which is OK in my book! MORE MORE MORE
