Dark Foil…DOPETHRONE
Review

Puff puff on that stinky green stuff that alters the way we see this ugly world. Damn, this album should have been on our top 13 list for killer albums of 2011. Montreal’s
DOPETHRONE brought doom to a new high with the release of Dark Foil. Every time I put this record on, I run for the bong. This album is the perfect soundtrack to my mental elevation! DOPETHRONE’s music has all of the right ingredients: the bones of Sabbath, the filth of crust and the whiskey breath of Motörhead. The way that this album is mixed is perfect – it’s dirty as the gutter but clear as a sunny day, and it has the sickest apocalyptic vibe throughout! DOPETHRONE’s music has a dark energy that lives within every note they play, and there is something weirdly uplifting about Dark Foil. DOPETHRONE dipped all of their baselines in the sweetest Mary Jane resin, and then cured all of their riffs for maximum death of braincells. The vocalist for this band is on some next shit, you can hear the hash oil dripping off of every fucking word that he spews. How did these Canadians get so fucking groovy? When they kick off the cover of Bill Wither’s song “Ain’t No Sunshine,” they reclaimed this classic song as their own. This is one of those bands that will have the crusty punks head banging right next to the stoners, both united under the bad sign of doom. I’m overdosing right now on DOPETHRONE’s THC-infused melody that all of the tunes are coated with. I’m not even going to tell you what song you should check out, because the whole album is heavier than 666 tons of the finest Master Kush! For those lucky enough to be headed to Roadburn this year, make sure you peep DOPETHRONE do their thing. Stop reading this review, spark a bowl and listen to some of their jams below!
