Rock, Stoner, Doom, Psych

Rated: ****

And ofcourse this Welsh band featured prominently on the Doomed & Stoned in Wales compilation curated by the wicked Reek of STOOM for Billy Goate’s Doomed & Stoned site. And ofcourse we loved their Crashing Into The Future release of 2015 and full-sized We're Already Inside Your Mind from 2016. But we have to admit, we never got around to mentioning them back then! And we are very very sorry! Now we try to remedy that horrible failure by mentioning the new Calling The Quarters by the awesome Lacertilia! The album arrived about a week ago and has been spinning ever since. Eight tracks of majestic stoner metal grooves and psychedelic doom explorations. It has this underlying rumbling atmosphere; a punk attitude and primal aggression which they let loose upon you with grandiose guitarwork and expansive gestures. It’s a gigantic sound and a truly feral experience that won’t let up till that intro part of the Further, the third track. On which they show that these five Crazy Welshmen have more cards up their sleeve. Going from big to huge, bringing in the Shamanistic elements and to something thick, dense and even more powerful. Hats off to Lacertilia for this amazing new release!
