Redscale – The Old Colossus

 

Redscale – The Old Colossus
Majestic Mountain Records - 2021
Stoner, Hard, Rock, Metal
Rated: *****

They hail from Berlin, Germany and produce one of the most grooviest and weightiest stoner rock sounds to roll across the globe since their foundation back in 2015. Their new album is called The Old Colossus and continues on with that massive Redscale sound. Indeed, it’s huge, it’s large, it’s stoner rock, it’s stoner metal and it’s damn freaking awesome! We could stop talking right there and for the September Peroration of the Doom Charts we did. But here we will write a little more about the sincere love we feel for Redscale and their new The Old Colossus album. It starts with a serious bang called On The Run, which in turn starts with a serious bang as well. That drum work, that guitar tone, those riffs, that solo immediately in the beginning. Now here’s a band who knows how to get the thing started; and then the vocals kick in. Exactly gritty and raw enough they will pull you deeper into the track; which shifts and cracks as the rhythm changes and alters and winds and whips you into a frenzy. Offering release with that second chorus; a chorus that is so attractive and flawless that it has no difficulty pulling you even deeper. And that’s just all on that first opening On The Run track. And there are eight more for us to groove to; some a bit more languid and doomy, others a bit more progressive or full out stoner trucking and one acoustic effort that will definitely pull on a heartstring or two. Redscale outdid themselves once again with The Old Colossus.
