1000Mods – Youth of Dissent
Ouga Booga and The Mighty Oug Recordings – 2020
Rock, Stoner, Alternative, Nineties, Doom, Psych
Rated: *****
Those mad and crazy Doom Chart Contributors always seem to amaze each other with their finds, choice and Number One picks. But as you can see from the published amount of points each album received, a few rose even higher than the rest. And my guess is that the new Youth Of Dissent album by 1000Mods has not peaked yet. My guess is that not all of my fellow heavy music fiends had the chance to listen to it yet. Cause it is so freaking fine again. A first track to lead you astray and have you thinking, okay, what’s happening here. I can dig it, but is this the route the boys are going the entire record? Cause I’m not sure about that? And then. BOOM! The second track stomps that opener into dust. And really almost every track that follows keeps on being better than the one before. Which seems impossible, but well, these crazy Greek kings are able to do just that…
Their steady growth and rise towards an amazing level of craftmanship took a massive jump when Repeated Exposure To… was released in 2016. And now the 1000Mods quartet returns with a follow-up to that absolute beauty of a record. Youth Of Dissent moves ever forward towards the top of the heavy pyramid but with a sound that moves back towards the nineties. No less than eleven tracks filled to the brim with those amazing riffs and hooks, interspersed here and there with some psychedelic freak outs, bluesy solos or droning guitars. Add to this the wild bass work and intense drumming and we have yet another legendary album in the making. They are still Gods alright, still the kings of nowhere… And we will worship them as they rightfully should be… By everyone!
