Negative Wall – Gammagelu

Black Doomba Records – 2019

Rock, Stoner, Space, Prog

Rated: ****

Negative Wall from Georgia, USA offer up a surprising and entertaining romp through the world of 70's Prog and Proto-Metal with their new release, Gammagelu. Opener 'Imperii Exsules' thunders in with the Majestic Pomp of early Uriah Heep or Arcadium; heavy, slow and monolithic. 'Hybrid Genus Serpentis' immediately conjours up images of Rush and Porcupine Tree with it’s brooding hooks and twisted solos. 'Mater Saeva Kp22' switches the mood... A delicate intro suddenly bursting into a crawling, savage riff of Sabbath oppression… Final cut 'Torquemada 71' reminds me of the proto-metal of Iron Claw or Eugene Carnan revisited and re-packaged as a solid wall of pure Stoner heaven! This is an album that both excites and delights - there's nothing negative about This Wall!! Four fat Stars!
