In terms of stoner/doom metal, Windhand were the underground talk of the town during the last two years and for good reason, as Soma stood out of the lot by a large margin. Grief's Infernal Flower is a little too "loose" and "relaxed" for its own good, but still adequate in view of the genre the band files under.

The molasses-swamp density of snails-pace sludge-grooves is spellbinding on its own, but there are those little personal touches that help distinguish it from your standard ol' leadenly ~70-minute stoner-metal trek of doom: solos that come oozing out the cauldron, following-suit-yet-attentive drumming, ear-relief in the form of bare-bones downer-folk acoustic that sounds fit for a dusty+desolate dive bar. And a vocalist like Dorthia Cottrell certainly don't hurt: on the heavy stuff she's graceful and tough, possessed but cool+collected about it, and ineluctably semi-buried. When she's suddenly deprived of all the muck five tracks deep, bewitchery only increases -- which may explain the subsequent retaliation of extra-extra-emphasis on slow+heavy crush, which includes back-to-back 14-minute monstrosities. The peak, if you ask me.

| 4.0 excellent | Chino smoking it up! | January 22nd 19 |
This is great stonerdoom. Their last 2 releases start indeed really similar, just enter the flow with the simplest, slow and thick riffs layered with the most sweet, sour and silky vocals. Perfect stoned ride. Recd tracks - Crypt Key; Hyperium; Heperus
