While the band is undoubtedly indebted to the heavy stoner rock sound of the 90's, they also have a distinctive laid back vibe that make they more than a replica of Kyuss or Fu Manchu. In fact, they delve into psychedelia more than the aforementioned bands did. There are also more heavy metal and less hardcore punk influences in their sound. The bass guitar is quite heavy in the mix and in the forefront in a way that reminds me of groove metal at times. European sound all the way. Great stuff! David Yvinec
