Phantom High – Valley Of Sickness
Self-released – 2023
Metal, Stoner, Garage, Doom
Rated: ***

Once again we wanna make sure you are listening to the right Phantom High, for there are a few different ones. This trio hails from Portland, Oregon, USA and kicks you in the guts from the get-go with their garage doom. Opening track The Kraken builds slow, but then, when the throttle is screwed on, the speed rocking monster is on the loose! And at this speed, there is only the barest margin for mistakes, it has to be done right. The exact amount of grime and fuzz to keep the wheels spinning and the party going. That opening track turns every happy go lucky motherfucker into a one percenter. And by track number seven from their Valley Of Sickness album you are graduating from Phantom High, as a hairy, hard-fisted brute who walks over cops, extorts free drinks from terrified bartenders and thunders out of town on big motorcycles after doing whatever the fuck he wanted to whomever the fuck he came across…
