Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by colossal, fuzzed-out basslines and punishingly heavy riff structures, the legendary trio descends once more with a tectonic offering of stoner doom metal. Issued via Third Man Records, the album embarks on a slow-burning journey through cosmic and earthly vibrations, reinforcing the band's unmatched mastery over volume, repetition, and amplifier worship.
