The last thing this Rhode Island foursome leaves you with on their debut full-length is the charge “may everything dirty win”. HowL’s followup to their eponymous 2009 EP does just that. ‘Full of Hell’ is a gloriously ugly massacre, clouded with rage, clogged with resin, clawing through bodies of the fallen.
I was reminded why they call it “stoner metal” as I waited on bated breath for a phone call from Rich Mullins of Karma to Burn, live during ‘Mind Over Metal’!

“A Determinism of Morality” is not bad. Not at all. It sounds completely and wholly like Rosetta. Every square milimeter of these songs is typical of their style. It just disappoints in comparison to their past, as they don’t quite execute the sound with the same fervor that you might expect them to. If you would like a recommendation of a good Rosetta album to start with, look earlier in their career. If you’re looking for good albums thusfar this year, look here. It may not be on any best of lists, but it certainly deserves a couple listens at the very least.

Bison B.C. aren’t really doing anything totally original or their own, but they manage to execute the sound of their forefathers quite well. Brent Hinds (Mastodon) and Matt Pike (Sleep, High on Fire) would certainly dig this album, as would Scott Kelly (Neurosis), whose signature howls are channeled occasionally by vocalist Dan And. Those are some big names, but luckily Bison manages to make the whole ring much stronger than simply the sum of its parts.

Griftegård obviously know their chops and if you are into doom metal, this is a release that you won’t want to miss.
