Eternal Riffian "Shaman's Visions"


Sleep Junior. Tribal Drums, Arabian Scales, sweet stoner groove. I Really Dig This Band Camp discovery I seriously read the name and was like "this is going to be awesome" The singer kinda reminds me of an Al
Cisneros and a mix of the dude from Godsmack. So apparently the Ukraine knows what's up with stoner metal. What really sold these guys to me is the fact that this half an hour album is broken down into 5 parts; one song. Now musically it's exactly what you would expect from this genre, Eternal Riffian isn't really pushing too many barriers. But it's very well done, don't get me wrong, the dynamic shits are tasteful and almost anticipated while you are listening. A lot of the time stoner bands tend to ride riffs to death, but not these guys, the tasteful bass fills give the music a constant forward motion. While some of the FX in the background of Part III Yax Imix Che (the Path) keep you listening deeper to the music.
