10. Wires (Murder the Mountains, 2011)

“Wires,’ is a bouncy, simplistic good time rock and roll number with clean and melodic vocals reminiscent of QOTSA, at least until the atmospheric proggy build up in the middle, at which point things change once more into a grand and spacey direction reminiscent of modern Mastodon.”

9. Malverde (Murder the Mountains, 2011)

“Malverde,” could very well be an early Mastodon (or Baroness) b-side, as it mainly revolves around walls of sludgy, Sabbath-on-steroids-esque guitars, steady bass lines, dexterous, bouncy drum fills, and oh-so-Troy Sanders-ish vocals.”

8. Throw Up (Murder the Mountains, 2011)

“Throw Up,” takes the cake for being the set’s epic. Its ominously doomy and brooding bass intro flows perfectly into crunchy, driving guitar and bass riffs, thus creating doomy, meaty, and crunching piece of sludge metal. The tune also has a fast tempo change at around the three-minute-and-forty-second mark, thus taking it to up-tempo territory with brisk, chug and churn guitar leads and surprisingly deft and quick drumming”

7. Dirt Wizard (Murder the Mountains, 2011)

“Dirt Wizard,” which has thundering, densely crunching guitars and noteworthy (and almost funky-sounding) bass lines coursing throughout.”

6. Crows in Swine (Whales and Leeches, 2013)

“Crows In Swine” is another standout because it boasts a strong, pronounced bass throb, some clattering cymbal crashes, pounding, rolling drum fills, and more really Mastodon-esque vocals and Black Sabbath-gone-haywire riffing.”

5. Cut It Short (Only Ghosts, 2016)

“It’s the driving energy and urgency of hook-filled bangers like ‘Flies’ and ‘Not For You’ that makes this memorable.”

4. Hank Is Dead (Murder the Mountains, 2011)

“Hank Is Dead” continues in this same vein, as it finds a gluey, flowing, and propulsive bass groove underlying Sabbath-y sludge riffs, and churning, lumbering, pounding rhythms. (This tune is a highlight, though, for also featuring a bluesy, harmonic guitar solo, to boot.)”

3. Blood Like Cream (Whales and Leeches, 2013)

“The music is kind of deceptively dense, due to its riffy nature, low vocals and raw earthy production, which may appear monotonous at first but can reveal hidden depths and great variety to those who persist, so its somewhat of a grower and may take a few listens to fully get into.”

2. Prehistoric Dog (Red Fang, 2009)

“The video for Prehistoric Dog is one of the best I’ve seen in many years. I really enjoy it, and have watched it at least a dozen times now. Great song, great band. I will try to see them on tour based on this song and video.”

1. Number Thirteen (Murder the Mountains, 2011)

 “Number Thirteen” is another large standout track because it begins with some nicely melodic picking and ominously grumbling, grungy-sounding bass lines, before slamming into pure doom metal territory with brutal (yet oddly hummable), and towering doom-laden riffs and nifty bass fills.”
