This outing from G&P is as the title suggests; a slower, doom laden extravaganza. This show cases the evolution of a band experimenting and growing their sound. There are still the lavish 80ies Heavy Metal lead breaks but a Doomy stoner sound is taking a greater precedence. The sound is more polished than the previous EP and the vocal are reminiscent of Kayleth’s front man, Enrico Gastaldo. Brilliant stuff. Harry Harrison
Coming straight out of the gates, this outing reminded me of Demonic Death Judge but ‘Welcome to the Ceremony’ adds Floydian guitar and Sabbath like percussion to the mix. To keep things entertaining and fresh, the styles and influences continue to change throughout the album. There’s even glimpses of Punk Rock and I also hear inspiration from Judas Priest. Again, an excellent album with a fusion of influences. Harry Harrison
These ratbastards kept it simple and friendly, playing blues and boogie for folks who just wanted to down their likker and smoke their bongs to the sound of some good-time rock’n’roll. Unlike, say, Sweet, the guys in Gods and Punks needn’t look back at old photos of themselves in glittering silver crotch-high platform boots and say, “What was I thinking? I look like a total git!
