Italy’s psychedelic doom instrumentalists Lord Elephant aim to impress the audience channeling the glorious spirit of classic heavy psych rock throughout the moody soundscapes of the sophomore release “Ultra Soul”.
Opening the album with determination “Electric Dunes” already manifests the band’s strong psych rock attitude delivering loads of soulful melodic phrases that make you space out easily and intense rhythmic crescendos.
The impactful track “Gigantia” aptly relies on monolithic loud guitar riffs to maintain a solid groovy momentum that will naturally evolve into extensive darker progressions showcasing old school doom influences.
“Black River Blues” is a trippy heavy rock doom affair as colossal guitars acquire the power to hypnotize you with bewitching melodic tonalities and surprise you with variegated crushing rhythmic patterns.
Within the multidimensional sonic realm of “Astral” a fiery cosmic energy flows through the heavy drum blasts and the extensive kaleidoscopic guitar leads enriched by shimmering psychedelic atmospheric elements.
Evidently on “Ultra Soul” Lord Elephant carry the torch for an exquisite vintage style and proudly jam their way through the chaotic underground scene.
