Rated: ****

Absence of Universe is the new album by the one-man band from Hudson, New York called Titanosaur. There are indeed a few spacey elements on the album and one or two moments of respite; just listen to middle track Miles To Go, which serves as a definite breather between all that massive and relentless chugging. But everything else just pounds and bangs and hits and grinds! Indeed, Geoff Saavedra known his fast-paced stoner metal, knows how to punk up his sludge and knows how to hit a homerun when it comes to fire and fury. For that you need to listen to the first four and final four tracks; they all stomp on the terra like a titanic dinosaur. Which might be logical when the project name is Titanosaur; but for a one-man project to excel at delivering both riffs and drums in this fashion, you need to be one hell of a legend. Personal favorite might be the chugging yet also dynamic: Shut Off The Voices. But we can name about eight other tracks we dig the shit out of!
