Age of Winters was their debut. Much heavier in those days, the vocals were kept low in the mix! The guitars shine through though.

Funny, the first time I heard Kyuss, without knowing any of their backstory, my thoughts were “QOTSA with shit vocals”. Many years later, I’ve gone 180. Garcia is pure daycent.
Age of Winters is the one I’m listening to.
Ah I see now. Yeah they get progressively more polished and tighter after that, they even did electric/acoustic versions of their last album High Country. Every album worthwhile though, the newest one is probably my second favourite of the lot. Warp Riders is a good mix of the doom and the rock.
You just can’t beat a bit of Southern Rock now and again. It hasn’t gotten a whole pile of airplay since the days of the Black Crowes. These lads are the best I’ve heard in a while
Blackberry Smoke - Shakin’ Hands with the Holy Ghost
Listening to Crack the Skye by Mastodon here. I love this record.
What’s not to love. I didn’t think they’d ever top Leviathan, and I don’t think they have yet, but Crack the Skye came very close.
In the hullabaloo of the hurling season of seasons, I omitted to post on the passing of one of the true legends of heavy metal, Vinnie Paul. Passed away back in June of a massive heart attack.
After 5 years of touring on Pelagial, THE OCEAN deliver their long-awaited 8th studio album, split into two volumes to be separately released in 2018 and 2020 respectively, titled Phanerozoic.
The Phanerozoic eon succeeded the Precambrian supereon, spanning a 500 million-year period leading to the present day. It has witnessed the evolution and diversification of plant and animal life on Earth, and the (partial) destruction of it during 5 mass extinction events.
Conceptually and musically, The Ocean’s Phanerozoic is the missing link between the albums Precambrian and Heliocentric / Anthropocentric.
releases November 2, 2018
Jesus there’s a blast from the past. I haven’t listened to these guys in, um, aeons.
I played Pelagial constantly when I got it. What a record.

Three or four decent songs there.
Viv Campbell having a show in radio ulster. Sure it’s about as likely as the hurley of the year peddling hurls in a bog
