Weird Tales – Hell Services Cost A Lot


Weird Tales – Hell Services Cost A Lot
Self Released – 2019
Doom, Metal, Psych, Sludge
Rated: ****

With a new bass-player, the old one may or may not have been turned to jelly due to the effects of acid, the Polish trio Weird Tales continue on with their wild journey through the psychedelic doom landscape. We already loved The Fall, the collection of EP’s, the band released last year. But the new release Hell Services Cost A Lot takes things to a different maddening level. There is doom there, there definitely is. And sometimes it even resembles, for a moment, something archetypal doom. But for the most part it all goes to pieces, like your sanity, thanks to the demented sounding vocals, the complicated rhythm changes, guitars that quickly shift in color and drums that pound and pound and pound on the walls of the adjacent formaldehyde smelling room. Breaks that push the dynamics into ever more delirious realms and bass-work that rumbles and rolls like crazy Edgar and his tractor tire. He loves his tire. And we love this bass! The Weird Tales three have cooked up quite a lovely and deranged new story for themselves and we can only sit, mouth agape, saliva dripping and listen to how it all unfolds!
