Hailing from Oxford, England, Desert Storm presents their monolithic blend of stoner, sludge & doom with the insane heavy weight of the new full length “Buried Under The Weight Of Reason”.
“Newfound Respect” evokes a sense of impending doom as colossal grim guitar riffs lead the way to a solid series of empowering grooves easily amplified by a thunderous vocal delivery.
Surrounded by a subtle trippy atmosphere “Shamanic Echoes” takes you to arid landscapes as the slick guitar leads emphasize an attractive ‘70s acidic mood and gradually evolve into majestic rhythmic dynamics.
“Woodsman” shows a deeply nostalgic side with warm arpeggios yet this mellow melodic ensemble will morph into a highly distorted groovy rhythmic core.
Without any hesitation “Cut Your Teeth” delivers plenty of grinding rhythmic blasts and the elaborate guitar work effortlessly shifts from vicious riffage to eloquent melodic lines.
Maintaining a higher rhythmic tension “Twelve Seasons” relies on galloping gritty riffs with the crucial support of stomping drums and reaches the acme with a flamboyant guitar solo.
With great confidence Desert Storm channel the glory of stoner/doom to fully develop a personal songwriting approach that throughout “Buried Under The Weight Of Reason” naturally generates pure heaviness but also a surprising vulnerability.
