Buzzard (Doom Folk) - "Doom Folk" album review by Obstinato / _nsigned.com

"A band that is undoubtedly heir to Black Sabbath, combining elements of 70s heavy metal and hard rock. They feature slow-paced rhythms accompanied by sounds and melodies worthy of legends like *Blue Öyster Cult or Steppenwolf, all while steering folk music into a unique, atmospheric direction. It is a darkness for the soul and spirit—not one that unsettles, but rather one that fuels us with high-octane energy. They are among the best and freshest acts to emerge in the doom metal scene in recent times. I discovered and supported them a while back via Bandcamp, and I strongly urge you to check them out—especially if you are in a position to support this great band.

What would be the result of answering the question the streaming platform jokes about: "What would happen if Dylan listened to Black Sabbath and read Lovecraft?". The result is that the ironic question ends up answering itself, functioning as a rhetorical question. For the prodigal son born of that hypothetical scenario is, quite evidently, the one right before your senses: Buzzard.

"Death Metal in America" or "Gods of Death" are examples about biggest and greatest compositions and music—call it Americana Rock or Doom Folk.

And speaking of gods, myths, and legends—bear in mind that they can be a blessing or quite the opposite. Regarding the latter, the perspective is far more detached and agnostic, and even critical of religions—criticism that extends to the very origins of the myths themselves.

"All Things Are Full of Ghosts" is another of the standout tracks on this exceptional "Doom Folk" album; it serves as a perfect finale—infused with sarcastic humor or biting criticism when called for—and is simply brilliant." By Obstinato / _nsigned.com.
