Stoner, Hard, Kraut, Psych
Rated: 

Oz keeps the vibe going constantly! New bruces on the block SILVER ORBS deliver an emphatic, No-holds-barred blend of High-Octane Stoner Rock that is compelling and rewarding in equal measure! Opener "Manganangas" sets the table with a robust and grungy riff-fest. Track two, "Gannets" brings the Psychedelics into play: Delayed guitars feeding a monster bass riff that develops into a hard-rocking, Kyuss-esque bleacher. The finale, "Kanto Katso" rolls like the proverbial stone - a mixture of total groove and Stadium Rock vibes that will have your heads nodding like a dashboard dog! Every second of this is unwasted - time to drop it and get WASTED!
