Siberian Tusk – Reapers By Trade
Hidden Noise – 2022
Rock, Stoner, Desert, Doom
Rated: ****

The Siberian Tusk promo arrived somewhere in March, we immediately spun Reapers By Trade and dug it! And then for some weird and probably insane reason it disappeared under a pile of other releases. The pile is huge, the amount staggering and only ever so often we go through all of them again. And there it was, hitting us once again, with that opening track Rich&Poor! A stonerrock banger with one of those majestic grooves that just immediately grabs your attention and all of your short and curlies! The Norwegian four can also be found rocking out with doom outfit Lord Fungus, punks Cockroach Clan and a new project Andthepanda. But you might also know them from an earlier incarnation of most of the members of this band which was called Traktor. They already displayed that majestic groove they offer op on the new album back on that 2020 Siberian Tusk album Save My Soul and in perhaps a more punkier form on the EP’s that came before it. Reapers By Trade however moves ever more towards that desert rock sound, the Palm Desert heat and the sound that broke the bank when QOTSA did their Songs For The Deaf thing. Just check out laidback rocker Desert Sun; following angular robotic circler Fucked Up or more blues inspired Reaper Blues. They bring that shimmering stoner shingle with homerun swinging accuracy! Siberian Tusk will skewer and spike with their damn fine Reapers By Trade album!
