Rock, Stoner, Doom, Metal
Rated: ****

Often a band will throw a curveball somewhere on the album. One stand-out weird track that sort of changes your entire look on a certain record. Usually, they do that towards the end of the album. Mexican trio Fuzz Brigade decided to start with it! Opening track Rey De La Muerte from their debut album with the same name is one hell of a scuzzy doom and fuzzy metal anthem, a track to test the waters and to see if you, the listeners, can handle all the heaviness they might throw at you. And if you do, if you can pass the Fuzz Brigade test, they will then throw a fuzz and stoner parade in your honor! For the rest of the album is heavy fucking stonerrock! Sure, we can hear some other influences, like grunge and sludge pop up from time to time. And ofcourse that motor breath, motor punk, speedrock masterpiece Speedball, perfect for a Sunday afternoon to do LSD with your local Hell’s Angels chapter. But for the most part the Fuzz Brigade brings pure and unadulterated love for sweltering hot stonerrock! It turns soggy and swampy from time to time, but most of the music feels like an ode to the scorching sand from which it all came. The guitars grunt with heat, shit, they sound like yowling guitars IN heat! And the vocals will make you smell gasoline and fumes; while they bounce along on the melody; the perfect soundtrack for a backyard party with your local motorcycle gang…
