Slowtorch – 4-Barrel Retribution ( Riff/ Hongly )

Slowtorch are stoner rockers from Italy and this is their third release. Formed in 2004 they are very reminiscent of Kyuss and Clutch with big chunky driving riffs with the odd bit of psychedelia thrown in for good measure. This is a 4 track EP and it is rather good. Matteo Meloni handles the vocal duties with a rather rough style but it works well especially on the first track ‘La Vaja’, which has a monster sound with heavy double bass drum patterns and huge riffs. The other 3 tracks 27 and the double header of 10,000 tons/ Lords Of Tomorrow are all of the same high standard. If you like a bit of stoner music you will love this, but even if you are not that keen, Slowtorch are still with a spin. 4/5.
