Riff Cannon - Mercury Mountain

self-released, 2009

Pretty good fuzzy sludgy psych-metal here, though the highlight of the disc for me is the epic, slow-burning, western-sounding "Roads To Pompeii". A band to watch out for.

"Riff Cannon are a 4 piece stoner/sludge/fuzz/space/doom/heavy rock band from Boston whose influences include Sabbath, Torche, Led Zeppelin, Boris, Melvins, Goatsnake, Pentagram, Electric Wizard, etc. They have so far released only their debut album, “Mercury Mountain,” in Sept of 2009" - lastfm
