A seamless grab bag of stoner, doom, thrash, and Motorhead, guitarist Matt Pike somehow manages to capture the beating heart heavy metal itself into one brilliant album. Riffs for days, esoteric lyrics, and production with enough distortion and fuzz to make Electric Wizard proud, make this a masterpiece that can't really be compared to much of anything out there.
