Doors To No Where – Darkness Falls
Desert Records – 2021
Rock, Stoner, Punk, Grunge, Desert
Rated: ****

They’ve been around since 2010; but to be honest we’ve only been familiar with their 2016 recording The Haunting. But now that their new album Darkness Falls has gotten its hooks in us, we will definitely check out the rest of their stuff and not lose track of the trio that is Doors To No Where ever again! There’s a new bassplayer on board for this record and Fu Manchu’s very own Bob Balch riffs along on the title track and final piece of music on Darkness Falls. The orchestral and grandiose gestured Who Died? is the sixth track on the album and it’s the first hint of the magic to come on that closing title track. For it’s an almost eight minute battleship that starts off so intense and earthy and in a perfect tempo that you cannot wait to see the desert flower slowly blossom into the beauty that is. And it does, shows you every color possible and delivers itself in all its glory. Is it justified to single that one final track out? Indeed, it is not. For we have already been shocked into submission by opening banger Lie, Lie, Lie and that majestic groove of Policy could have gone on forever if we would have had a say in it. It’s all very impressive and hearing all these eight tracks shows perfectly that the Doors To No Where three know precisely what their best qualities are. And they bring it all together on Darkness Falls, perfectly balanced.
