Self released – 2021
Rock, Instrumental, Stoner, Psych, Metal, Prog
Rated: ***

Progression is key with these two cats! Indeed, Hermit’s Weedsom is a duo from Rennes, France and they play some heavy instrumental metal, with overtones of stoner and some psychedelic touches. On their sophomore full-sized album As Above, So Below they treat us to eight tracks that seem to progress ever higher or ever lower before collapsing unto itself. By sheer weight or force or will. For they seem to have moved at the speed of inspiration, letting the muse or the universal unconsciousness dictate wherever the track needed to go. There is light in the dark and dark in the light, and those opposites seem to perfectly complement each other on this record. There’s a distinct esoteric feel about these tracks and that alone makes it all an extra special experience to be a part of. Headphone music for the heads, the alchemists, the freaks, the beat poets, the crazies and the heavy prog loving fiends. Count me in!
