“Combining psychedelic, doom and stoner influences, the band delivers a powerful and dense rock. It's mystical but without god, it's tragic but still alive.”
Protest music for the end of days: Mother Raspberry's Summit of Excellance delivers bold new sounds from atop the peak of greatness, the 16th studio album packing a serious wallop. Buzzard's "Twisted Love" — that pointedly Mars Red Skyian fuzz — offers a catchy doom pop takedown of a narcissist with a nihilist twist, while Mount Din finds an alien bio-creator surveying the wreckage of Homo sapiens. Crushing Burden of Despair asks what if Bob Dylan listened to Black Sabbath and read H.P. Lovecraft, while The Mountain King's Pike Dreams journeys through 2000 years of human existence via crushing atmospheric drone doom.
