Snake Thursday - Iter 2014

Snake Thursday hail from Poland, but they play stoner metal straight out of the deserts of California.  I'm digging the heavy dirty riffs and over all vibe of this cd, and for me the vibe is the most important part of any stoner metal album. If a stoner band can make me feel like I am on a journey through a desperate lonely landscape then they have me hooked and Snake Thursday succeed at doing just that.

The other aspect of this cd that I like is at times it has a tiny bit of a doom feel, however, the band is also not afraid to pick up the pace and  rock the fuck out like on the track Beyond Aurora or even touch on a bit of that futuristic Voivod vibe on a track like Ego Trip.

Overall, Snake Thursday have delivered an excellent slice of stoner metal that isn't afraid to spread its wings beyond the normal confines of the genre , and I suspect that ITER will be spending an extended period of time near the top of my playlist in the coming months...Dave G.

Snake Thursday - Cruise Mode 2012

Snake Thursday are a big fat riffing stoner band from Poznań Poland. The band describe their music as  "stoner rock filled with energy, melody and dirt, built around memorable riffs and relating to heavy music roots". This description sounds good to me. Musically, the production on "Cruise Mode" is big and clear with a nice full bass sound and  melodic vocals layered over the top...think Kyuss with a touch more melody if your looking for a comparison...

Cruise Mode is available for free download from Snake Thursday's bandcamp page...so if you like to smoke the gonga and rock the fuck out then spark up and fill your head with some free tunes...Dave G.
