Rock/Stoner/Metal/Psychedelica
Waardering: ****

On this last day of the Dutch Courage Month we bring you the four amigos of the new formation hailing from Tilburg and Utrecht called Yama. Although to be honest; the guys have been rocking around since 2008 under another name which was Les Ailes. With former Encircled singer Alex Schenkels the band delivers some grade A stoner rock that’s highly psychedelic often truly metallic and carries its sound into twisted regions; and thanks to the vocals on occasion reminds of 16 Horsepower and WovenHand which is a strong feat whichever way you look at it. Though on other moments names as Baroness and Graveyard come to mind. They have an ear for the massive riffs and use it to carry along solos and steady rhythms. This is some serious groove they got going and I bet their shows will be pure exploding loudness and intense adventures. I for one cannot wait to partake!
