Eggnogg - S/T

First up I must say when this CD got sent my way, I really didn't know what to expect from a band called "Eggnogg" but I was blown away when I heard this self-released CD. The other problem I have is the CD arrived with no artwork or any information of any kind and to make matters worse, the only info I can find is on the Myspace page which appears to be a fan-run site. Anyway despite all that, this is one killer album that is pretty much a Doom album but with enough tempo changes and interesting guitar solos to make this very original sounding. You can hear a lot of different influences but at the same time, but they don't ripped off any of them. They have a Cathedral meets The Hidden Hand kind of Stoner Doom groove most of the time but what really stands out is the great solo work. This dude can really play with feeling, they are unique in as much they are melodic, jammy but also blend well with the rhythm section which is real tight. I will keep this review short for now till I can get more information but if you like classic Stoner/Doom sounds especially like the ones from Maryland that came out in the 90's you will want to hear this band. 8.5/10
