░█ █░ ▀
█ A six-piece band with members from across the █
█ country (including Windsor), Gypsy Chief Goliath █
█ have made international waves with their █
█ doom-stoner-sludge metal sound. Their most recent █
█ album, New Machines of the Night, was released █
█ this month on Pitch Black Records, an independent █
█ European record label. It follows their 2012 █
█ record, ItÆs A Walk In The Mist and has a █
█ production value miles ahead of its predecessor. █
█ The bandÆs choice to mix three guitars with █
█ harmonica and the distinctive vocal styling of Al █
█ æThe YetiÆ Bones creates a sound of southern heavy █
█ metal blues. Like Ronnie Baker Brooks meets █
█ Pantera. With the new album they have opened up a █
█ bit, creating some more dynamic songs than those █
█ that were found on last yearÆs release. This one █
█ is admittedly catchier than expected, with songs █
█ like ôGot No Soulö and ôSecret Liaisonö creating █
█ ear worms that last for days. But it still has not █
█ given up the bandÆs signature plodding and █
█ menacing tones, the likes of which are extremely █
█ apparent on the tracks ôSlow Leakö and ôUneasy █
█ Kings.ö █
█ ôDirt Meets Rustö and ôSt. CovenÆs Tavernö are two █
█ of the strongest tracks on the record. ItÆs █
█ entirely likely you will find yourself swaggering █
█ around the house singing along when these ones █
█ come on, but giving them a hard listen is very █
█ beneficial. ôDirtö features some of my favourite █
█ drums on the entire album, while ôSt. CovenÆsö has █
█ a bar fight feeling reminiscent of an Alestorm █
█ ballad. █
█ This ten-track album clocks in at just under █
█ forty-five minutes, all of it packed full of █
█ energetic head bang inducing greatness that would █
█ make this a great record for working out to. █
