Groggy - ...in the Land of Sunshine (2018)
The last time we covered my favorite
Russian band here on TBB was back at the start of 2016, to review
Groggy's release of the Turtle LP. Though they've had a couple of releases since then, this EP
makes for a nice point at which new-comers to the group's heavy
stoner metal can jump in and check out what they're about, or just
some extra enjoyment for existing fans. Opening track “IFLNTS”
throws some wild, almost punkish intensity into that metal base,
bashing hard and riding a fast-rolling groove through to the end.
“TAAB” kicks in with a clear and savory riff, leading to funky
string warbling and deeper rocking that keeps sinking further into
heaviness. Lastly, “DSOTWE” leads the way out with a crunchy
cook-up of chords, cymbals, and crashing drums, slowing fading out
into a sizzling psychedelic wash. Tasty stuff from start to finish,
and just as fun as it is heavy.
