Rated: ****
Sometimes you need a dream. Not one of those big ones, that might change the course of human history. Not the ones where you imagine yourself a millionaire or the ones where you hop and run through a field of flowers. Sometimes you need a dream. One that will have you envisioning mountains and a group of outlaws doing a variety of things. Not just the looting of corpses or the robbing of stagecoaches. But also the wood chopping, the hours of fishing, the slow trek through the last pieces of green terrain before the desert starts. Or the ominous feeling of those evil enemies following your trail. Sometimes. Shit, all the time! Here’s where the new album The Devil Arrives comes in. It’s already been qualified as a western themed instrumental doom album by the Wolfhand five-piece themselves and it is without any doubt a brilliant qualification. It would go great with a book like Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, if you are a reader. Or Red Dead Redemption II if you’re a game enthusiast. It carries so much atmosphere with it, it will not only make you dream, it will transport you to another time and place altogether. This really is a soundtrack for a movie yet to be made. What a ride!What a dream!
