Their self-titled debut had certain moments of brilliance (ref. "Sulphur Giants", "Prayer For Death and Fire") and created a lot of expectations which I personally thought the band was unable to meet. And yet, their sophomore release is even more mature, qualitative, psychedelic, and complete than the previous one. I admit that it took me some listenings to adapt to the change but I am so jubilant to have taken this to the end. Second Psychedelic Coming opens with the storming "Samhain" and as it unfolds, presents an unparalleled mixture of 70s psychedelia, occult aesthetics, memorable riffing and captivating melodies. With her charismatic and unassailable voice, frontwoman Jess holds the quintet tight, intact and solid throughout the whole album. Recommendations: "Crossroad Lightning", "The Equinox Death Trip", "Goetia of Love".
