Let me tell you that this is probably the best sludge/doom you have never heard. With a blackened vocal style and incredibly well written riffage, New Orleans' Mars give you four songs that will only be best appreciated at the highest of volumes. I cannot recount how many drunk people in Flagstaff have appreciated hearing these riffs emanating at max volume from my car while simultaneously having no idea what the fuck is playing. Dug up from the depths of the interhole by my friend Judge Shredd last year, I have played this album at least once every week and it never gets old.
Reign of Suns clocks in at 54 and half minutes. While much of it is atonal guitar feedback in between the songs it is well worth your patience to hear the song develop its riffs even though all of the four songs are longer than 10 minutes. Prepare your bong. Bust out the best beer you have. This is the best sludge I've heard since Eyehategod started doing heroin and NOLA should be proud of this fine band. Highly, highly, HIGHly recommended.
See? This fish just listened to
Reign of Suns and I felt the same way. Get your hands on this now if you don't.
