Oxcross is a very Heavy Doom/Stoner band from Salt Lake
City. There latest Album Tree and Stone is a Loud and very melodic record that
breaks the traditional Doom Formula. It reminds me of something found in the Savannah Ga area Like Baroness, Kylesa or Black tusk, But they are from Salt
Lake City of all places. The Almost trance like Riffs accompanied by great layered
Vocal patterns make this album very enjoyable from start to finish.
While mostly mid tempo I didn’t bore me at all. Some of the
songs have a newer Mastodon vibe which is a good them. You can hear some of their
influences in the music they play. They have made something that is completely their
own. The album is full of big guitar Harmonies and even bigger Vocal
harmonies. The internet is both a
blessing and a curse. On one hand I love hearing great bands like this, but at
the same time I really want to see them live and without Label support I don’t know
if I ever will.
To be honest I don’t think you kind of find a better album
for $2. Do yourself a favor buy it you will not be disappointed. If you are to
cheap to buy it steam it for free. I
love this record and have passed it a lot to several of my friends to check
out. This band deserves to be
heard. Take some time and enjoy some
good music.
