Wolfmother
A dollop of SABBATH riffing, a whole slopload of ZEP crunge and yowling about mystical bullshit and evil women, and just the right amount of greasy white boy funk, DEEP PURPLE organ noodling, and wide-eyed top-of-the-mountain pseudo-serious bare-chested shaman posturing.

The Phoenix Throne

Not bad, not great, just kind of ho-hum metalcore that could be taken or left. As such, my expectations were not very high for "The Phoenix Throne". A...April 24, 2006
