Its A Lunken - S/T Due Out In June

Its A Lunken's self titled album is due out in June and you will be in for a hellish ride listening to this one.This is one of the most original sounding bands i have heard in a long time.They just don't sound like anyone really,the music is psychotic,un-hinged and original as you will get these days.This is Doom but its not about big riffs or deathly growls,this is experiment in distorted sounds.At times they sound like the Pink Floyd of Doom and yet at other times they make sounds that remind me of the most bizarre Frank Zappa stuff yet real heavy.The music is intense,demanding and very psychedelic.They use instrumentals like mouth organ which you wouldn't expect on a Doom record.The bass sounds on this are so full of fuzz you may find yourself adjusting the controls on your stereo.I mean this leaps out at you and leaves you crushed in its wake.The album runs almost like a concept album in that tracks seem to mesh together and the whole thing just flows.The vocals for the most part are very aggressive which just adds to the choas.The album runs over a hour so its a long journey to get through but its a true test on your braincells.There is some very unique twists and turns in the tracks that leave you wondering what was going through their minds putting these songs together.If you are expecting straight Doom Metal this will leave you unsatisfied but if you are willing to take a dark trip into something really different in the world of Doom,you will dig this.This band that can be proud of this their first full release,the question is where can they go from here.We will have to wait and see.Indulge yourself in this when its released.8.5/10
