the stoner rock legends’ 12^th does not disappoint, dishing out enough primal vocals and howling guitars to keep your blood up long after the succinct run time has elapsed.

this record marks a new chapter for the “fuzz rock” pioneers as they mix straight ahead blistering rock with unexpected time shifts, featuring tracks like the roaring cuts “Don’t Panic” and “(I’ve Been) Hexed” and the dynamically complex “Clone of the Universe” and “Slower Than Light.” The centrepiece of the album is “IL Mostro Atomico,” an 18 minute 8 second, side long epic featuring a special guest performance by Alex Lifeson, guitarist and songwriter of the legendary band RUSH. “Full-on fast-paced riffs and screaming guitars just grab you from the off, exactly what you want for these weathered rockers” 8/10 – rocknloadmag.
