I always imagined this kind of stuff would be really silly and dismissed it out of hand. But I was flicking through twitter and I saw someone describing this album and in particular this song in a way that made it sound pretty good, and so I listened to it and indeed it is pretty good.
When I look at it on discogs it is described as doom/stoner rock but really when I listen to it it just sounds like it grew out of the heavier end of seventies fuzz psych - where did this sound come from? I always kinda assumed that they came from out of metal but when I listen it seems entirely possible that it came directly from psych without any detour into metal - but of course it's equally possible that this band came out of metal and ended up taking another route to this point. That is something that I find quite interesting, when there are several bands that end up at the end same point but travelled there by different routes on which the important stopping points were totally unrelated.
The only thing with this that I'm not keen on is the vocals which I do find a bit silly. Or not even silly, it's just that the straining raw vocals contrast with the rich deep sound of the guitars in a way that is not what I am looking for.
A few years ago I heard that album Dopesmoker by Sleep which is the same kinda stuff, right down to the vocals which almost spoil it. The Steep one is maybe less aggressive and as a result, although that is probably not what they wanted or how most would describe it, I find that album kind deep and almost relaxing.
I remember a year or three back I was at someone's house after a club and we were fucked on K and they were playing Burzum. I had expected that to have much heavier beats but to my surprise that was also a fuzzy grinding guitar sound you could get lost in... or was that just the drugs?
