Bloody Gulch, a stoner metal band based in Dixon, Illinois,
has an album out called Fly the Ghost, and it is 8 tracks of awesome riffs, kick
ass vocals, and powerful rhythm section mastery. Chad, the vocalist for Bloody
Gulch, hooked me up with the digital, and physical copy, of this bad mother
fucker, and for that I am very thankful.
All My Friends opens this album up with a nice heavy riff, one
that isn't a technical fueled riff, but is still heavier than anything by any
tech group out there. The vocal melody is infectious, like a good old fashioned dose of syphilis,
but, you know, syphilis that you'd actually want to have lol This is a thundering
mammoth of a track, and easily my favorite one on Fly the Ghost!
The title track is another favorite of mine, mostly because
it is an up tempo rocker of a song. The
verse riff is absolutely perfect for the song, and allows the drums and bass to
drive the song ahead. I love the vocal delivery, and tone, on this, and all
songs. Very cool execution across the board!!!!
Bloody Gulch
Road rages in with a Sabbath infused riff of pure
heaviness. This track has my favorite
vocal tone on this fantastic album, it's just so cool sounding. This song is
another of my top picks, because of their use of dynamics, sounds, and overall
power!!!
Bloody Gulch have scored a huge hit with Fly the Ghost, at
least in my opinion. They have killer
metal edge to their guitar tone, yet have a stoner metal writing style; which I
think is pretty cool. I'll attach a link to their Bandcamp page, and let you
discover this great bands for yourselves!
Enjoy!!
