Ioannis Valiakos This album sounds like an unholy alliance between the darkest moments of Alice in Chains, the attitude of Metallica and the melodical approach of Death's masterpiece "Sound of Perseverance". It grooves hard and it it sounds badass. And if none of the above tick enough boxes for you, well then sit your own butt down, listen up, and let them know why you liked it, because you will. Great stuff! Favorite track: Invisibility.

đŸ‘âƒ€ A heapn’ helpn’ of southern hospitality. Sure to put you in the hospital after being pulverized by this metal coated, barrage of heavy rock the Hogg drops on you.

There's nothing soft and mushy about Brethren Hoggs's brand of stoner. Fuzz has been stripped away leaving rusty bare metal that rocks hard. Each face Brethren Hogg shows us is uncompromising, stoner riffs have a grungy groove, forays into doom are lean and heavy with slow paced thrash like riffs laced with a faint whiff of Mastodonish prog.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) NOLA based metallurgists Brethren Hogg rip their way through an impressive array of thrumming, stoner metal, proggish doom and gnarly groove metal. Stonkin' stuff! Favorite track: Beastlord.

Gone 06:45
they closed the door he wailed in pain poor momma's boy he stroked her face last time they spoke her eyes were closed as they held hands she thought she heard rain you were just here now you've disappeared from now on my life will never seem right since you've been gone forced to carry on a sudden death is always best the pure let go the guilt-ridden stay he hid upstairs in his childhood room he was too scared to watch them take her away

Beastlord 07:32
I'm running from the Beastlord They told me not to invade his space I thought that I knew better I'm gonna die in the forest today All the trees are torn Dark new gods are born Footfalls shake the earth I accept this curse It started out so simple I'm a self made man, that is my way I fouled the ground it walks on I'm never going to see its face All the trees are torn Dark new gods are born Footfalls shake the earth I accept this curse This 'aint my imagination My foretold devastation
3.
Invisibility 04:43
My mind is closed for business You won't know how far gone I found a cure that aids me Invisibility You won't know where I'm hiding Because I'm everywhere I'm slipping into solace I've turned into thin air
4.
Where grief and addiction meet I'm a burned out wreck on that street All my flaming wheels came off And I've tossed my humanity Gonna read inside your lines But I know there's nothing I'll find I can't lift up off this floor Don't know language anymore Only rich men go to space Only evil men don't die Only loved ones can get sick Only fools don't learn to cry
5.
i'm an idiot i don't know when somethings wrong i can't tell when its my fault i'm an idiot wake up with your face in seams woken up by your own screams i'm an idiot i don't listen when i'm told i dress like i'm half as old i'm an idiot

Bastard Wind 07:09
Tie my hands I dug at my old wounds again If I'm right I'll turn this conversation into a fight Constant dread Forces stupid contests in my head I can't hide Saw the universe writhe at the end of time I saw hell Existence folded upon itself Not human I'll go through this universe again This bastard wind is coming in again This bastard wind is blowing through my head
7.
Black Hole 02:13
All the time since you've been gone I pretend I'm not empty but that feels wrong Every day since your death I've clung to my memories and I've wept I walk in your room, looking for you You're not coming back, I don't know what to do Black black hole's where we belong In the black black hole we'll be dead and gone All those times that you called and I'd get annoyed, well that my fault now nothing means anything now and everything is nothing
