Album Notes & Community Reviews

Establishing themselves as Australia's premier purveyors of crushing, Sabbath-esque sludge, Buffalo unleashed a spectacularly raw, devastatingly heavy sophomore album. 'Volcanic Rock' is a fiercely energetic, deeply psychedelic blast of proto-metal, overflowing with wonderfully warm, rebellious hard rock riffs and intensely sexual, swaggering blues-rock power.
