Acid Mammoth
Under Acid Hoof
Repress in digipack with new barcode. 'Under Acid Hoof' is this Greek band's second full-length album. The album was recorded in 2019, mixed and mastered by Dionysis Dimitrakos of Descent Studios, who also worked with the band for their debut album back in 2017. Drums were recorded in Dope of Sound Studios in Athens. The album is a direct continuation of the band's self-titled, debut full-length album, but darker, heavier, and fuzzier. Five tracks of doom, each one offering something unique to the opus. It just gets heavier and heavier as you dwell deeper into the album. The father and son duo on guitars offer to the listener a horde of Iommi-style riffs with fuzzy melodies accompanied by doomy riffing, which is supported by wicked bass lines and heavy drumming. The clean mellow vocals add to the mix, and the occasional talk of witchcraft and mammoths can lead to a sublime, heavy experience. The artwork is made by Branca Studio, whoelse could get the spirit of this album and put it on a cover? You have to dig this album loud if you are a fan of Electric Wizard, Monolord, Sleep.
