Bong - Mana Yood-Sushai (2012)
Local doom metal band who have, over the last few years, been quickly gathering momentum and exposure. Off the enhanced success of the major release of their set at Roadburn Festival in Holland in 2010 and 2011s "Beyond Ancient Space', this year the band released what could very well be their finest work to date. The band has expanded from three to five members over time, adding a second guitar, really freeing up opportunity for a more prominent use of effects, and a sitar player. The result is a hypnotic trance-like exploration of doom, Hawkwind-like psychedelica, Sunn 0)))-esque drone and a band who, with time, continue to perfect their craft.
