With just four tracks in about a half hour Cult Of Occult set up a sludgy and haze filled maze for your senses to get lost in. This is a pretty impressive and dynamic first release from these French doom merchants. There are not very many bands in the French metal scene, let alone heavy doom metal and stoner rock groups but that scene is slowly growing. Cult Of Occult have been leading the charge since the release of their self-titled debut last November. They bring all the dopefueled psych that I love from Electric Wizard and mash it up with the hate filled sludge of Eyehategod and the end result is a brutally beautiful concoction of doom. I hope to hear more from this band in the near future. Get with this.
