Buckle up and blast off - Album II by Texas heavy rockers Mothership is a groovy, gritty ride through cosmic soundscapes and riff-fueled madness. From the opening notes of the spacey instrumental “Celestial Prophet,” you’re launched straight into orbit, with the band steering the ship on a journey equal parts bluesy swagger and interstellar heaviness.
Heavier, dirtier, and even more spaced-out than their killer 2013 debut, II oozes 70s vibes with a modern punch. Think crunchy guitar riffs that hit like asteroids, basslines that shake your bones, and drums that could wake the dead—this is “heavy-as-ancient-dinosaur-bones” rock in its purest form.
Highlights? The explosive “Priestess of the Moon” slams in like a meteor storm, while “Shanghai Surprise” adds a noir twist to the chaos. And “Holy Massacre”? It’s a hypnotic, slow-burn banger that proves these guys know how to mix muscle with mood.
This isn’t just an album—it’s a full-on trip. Hit play, turn it up, and let *II* take you for a wild, blues-soaked, hard-rocking voyage across the stars.
