Album Notes & Community Reviews

Kyuss's debut album 'Wretch' captures the California band in their most abrasive, punk-influenced developmental stage. The record is an incredibly raw, highly energetic fusion of heavy metallic riffing and psychedelic desert rock, marked by a rebellious and often angry youthful intensity.

Descriptors: desert, rhythmic, fuzz-drenched, sludgy, riff-heavy
