Staring Into The Abyss

by Shield of Snakes

supported by

Steve Rodger Thanks to Bucky this showed up in my feed or I’d have missed it and given how much I dug SOS label mates The Fae’s album years of regret were avoided. This is the HM I remember from Sounds music paper around 79-83 and Geoff Barton who did so much to promote the NWOBHM.

Bucky Came for that titillating wax mage record. Stayed for the scorching riffs, muscular vocals, and abysmal groove. Left a better man. This is certainly a sleeper album in the scene right now.

The funk and prog bits sprinkled on this muthalovin' heavy groovy cake make it oh so tasty, and I like a good, unpretentious concept album. I'll have another slice right now, hold the nanobots, thank you ! Coraxio

Invisible Oranges had it right calling this record "shimmering." Light glinting off the leaves of the Appalachian foothills suffuses this record. Great songwriting that keeps you engaged even in repeating verses, and emotional chord choices that invoke that special, yearning kind of good melancholy. And kudos to the synth/keyboard work for being right on point, fleshing out the sound without taking over and getting corny. pinkytheent

This album is a concentrate of energy. No song is boring, on the contrary each one renews the pleasure. Each song is a classic stoner surprise. Addictive album! Pumpkin Thierry
