Portland based rockers Hippie Death Cult aim to garner interest presenting a soulful blend of fuzzy doom and classic rock elements on the sophomore release “Circle Of Days”.
On “Red Meat Tricks” the robust rhythmic section constantly manifests darkened doom nuances while the guitar work focuses on charismatic soloing and haunting melodic accents amplified by the delicious vintage tonalities and the smooth vocal delivery.
There is a nostalgic feel lingering though the title track as the passionate vocals and the vibrant melodic phrases flourish within a mystifying atmospheric ensemble following a slower almost dreamy tempo yet you can still perceive an obscure doom aura.
“Eye In The Sky” brings closure with massive trippy vibes carefully crafted by hazy guitar melodies and brooding atmospheric arrangements while the gritty guitar riffs can easily generate heavier & lugubrious monolithic grooves.
Throughout “Circle Of Days” colossal doom & heavy rock influences naturally thrive within a groovy sonic maze and undoubtedly Hippie Death Cult are developing a quite interesting sonic vision.
