Album review

This release seems a little broader than the usual fair and sees the band trying to come into a sound all their own. There's more melodic guitar lines, some good old-school harmonies, strange effects, the usual dose of spacey shit, piano here and there for some reason, and a slight hardcore sing-along feel on a few numbers, like "Unknown Awareness". "Static Tensions" stands out a little more in today's overcrowded downtuned stoner metal scene, just how much though, I'm not sure. Album Rating: Reviewed by: Wolfie ©2009 AbsolutMetal
