SMOKE MOUNTAIN - Queen of Sin
Argonauta Records
Stick with what you do best and you'll eventually win. A few years back I got this Tallahassee, Florida three piece act's debut three song EP. From listening to it I knew this band was all into the whole stoner sludge doom style but were going to play it by their own rules. So with this full length they've fuckin did it.
SMOKE MOUNTAIN are Lee Pitt on Guitar, Brian Pitt on drums and Sarah Pitt on vocals. Don't ask me because I like the RAMONES so I don't ask those questions. Now the key is that there's no bass. No I'm not gonna ask that question.
And I don't need to ask questions about this full length debut. Last time around it was all about what could they be and on here they've done it. This album is more SABBATH-ian hard fuckin rock with obvious touches of WINDHAND and CASTLE. I said that before as well and it fits as far as the sound goes.
The riffs are amazing, can I stop there? Guess not OK so when this band rocks they're like the OBSESSED with female vocals. But the bad parts are when you figure in that the drumming in pushed back in the mix very horribly. Secondly the lack of real bass lines does lack in the songs. In the end it's OK, pardon the pun I didn't mean that.
