The Sound Of Origin - Man In The Arena

 

 

The Sound Of Origin - Man In The Arena
Self-released - 2023
Stoner, Doom
Rated: ***

Yorkshire Stoner pokes its evil head over the parapets again, this time in the ungodly guise of The Sound Of Origin: Re-vamped and re-recruited, the Shudders of Hudders bring a new, invigorated interpretation of crushing Stoner Doom on their new release "Man In The Arena". From the opening riffs of "It Ain't Free" you can hear the palpable Intent of the band - to overpower and nullify you with the meaty and weighty delivery of prime Stoner Metal! "Frail Ol' Bones" is the first of two songs featuring Kyle Thomas (Alabama Thunderpussy) and is a sleazy, Southern Groover with great hooks and crunch! The second comes in the form of title track "Man In The Arena" - a slow-burning fizzler aiming straight for the TNT boom at the source! Overall, The Sound Of Origin have delivered a sophomore platter that has rejuvinated both the band and their sound - MUST HAVE!!
