Boris
Pink
(Southern Lord)

I want to love Sunn O))), but they’re sometimes not rocking enough. I dig the slow and heavy and scary thing often, but sometimes the obfuscation of melody for anti-momentum can be extremely frustrating. Not that Boris is coming in with a hyper-slow song, but rock tempo-wise, “(parting)” is a churner with great melody making the journey into Pink all the more gratifying and exciting. From there, pretty much every heavy type of rock is put under their lens and done so muscularly and with radical grit and excitement. A wonderfully dynamic and burly group making a very welcome effort into the expansion of the Zep Empire.
