Album Notes & Community Reviews
Formed as a supergroup of prominent New Orleans metal musicians, 'NOLA' is a massively heavy, riff-worshipping tribute to Black Sabbath and southern rock. Phil Anselmo's raw, introspective vocals sit atop incredibly dense, rhythmic sludge and psychedelic stoner metal grooves.
