TOAD LICKERS BEWARE: A highly natural way to get high is ofcourse toad licking. A popular lick victim: the Colorado River Toad. When agitated, it secretes a hallucinogenic chemical through its skin. But the party practice could be fatal - some toads emit a cardiac toxin. “If you pick the wrong toad, you won't only get high, you'll get dead,” warns University of Michigan amphibian expert Carl Gans. Indeed. Shit and when you don’t die, you could also end up with the black hairy tongue disease! All this races through my mind when the first sounds of the Dieselburner debut vinyl release Toadal crackles through my speakers. The instrumental Alpha whacks you over the head and expands all the arteries, veins and capillaries of your brain. It makes your hair rise and your skin crawl! A massive cardiac arrest awaits and when The Itch starts you can’t control yourself anymore. Banging your head against the wall and rubbing your back against every surface you can find. And then the growling vocals start, they poke around in your chest and expands the air inside your lungs. And when you finally give in, and start screaming along, you know, you’ve picked the right kind of toad! No black hairy tongue disease for you, but an ultimate high! Delivered by two, yes two, hombres that dare to opt for different choices in their songs here and there. And relate this to us with highly fuzzed out gritty guitars and masterful drums. And the build-up continues leisurely massive on the other side, with monstrous Toad, wicked Nerd Rage, catchy High Road Warrior and tour the force Omega. Yes, they are made of ten ton heavy hallucinogenic fuel and got amazing shit to burn!
