the kings of frog island
label: Elektrohasch

The Kings of Frog Island have a deep understanding of rock and
roll from another time. Their songwriting will effortlessly carry you back to the 60s and 70s. You can here classic rock
sounds that have since become dubbed “stoner.” You can hear quiet, moody, ballady stuff.
You can even here a slight summoning of the doors.
A lot of stoner bands are just stoner bands but then a lot use that sound as a way of moving retro to the old school world of
psychedelic rock and roll. The Kings of Frog Island do that and even in the midst of channeling a sound of yesterday they
conjure some personality so that while they sound like
a mix of a number of bands of years past, there aren’t really any bands that sound like The Kings of Frog Island.

This is quite a good link:
http://www.metal-district.de/cdreview.php?ID=2267
"Oh yeah, Heavypsyche and skillfully between age-old and elements
quite up-to-date oscillating, so that sometimes one cannot say
whether those could not also thus have sounded to volume before
35 years. MONSTERS MAGNET were never more so geil and fresh
since its 1991er "Spine OF God" album.
Already the first two Songs killen everything. Howling, dreckelige
Leads is applauded around the ears continuous wildly with the
Opener the listener, that it is a true joy. Heavier as hell and
hotter than enormous lead mountains or also in reverse,
THE KINGS OF FROG ICELAND are the hammer.
In addition, they play their Heavypsyche usually very
with high energy and attacking, know, when it is best,
to take the speed out in favor of a benebelnden
atmosphere and to exchange also the hardness
of the distorted Klampfen against the gentle depth
of a acoustic guitar. It passes which with the British.
Many the aggressive Grooves are clear from newer design,
while in the gently flowing parts clearly the Flower power
times breaks through. It holds itself the balance.
THE KINGS OF FROG ICELAND know to drive skillfully
the majestic monotonousness from Doom and space
skirt to a musical high point specialsame to play a passage
perfectly hypnotisch again and again and to let it sound nevertheless fresh. They continue as MONSTERS MAGNET or KYUSS ever went,
more 60's and 70's, more authentically first of all.
One will not be able to umstimmen a purists of the
music at that time so easily, but they are close to.
And these betoerenden melodies of singing or guitar come
again and again, also from both parties if necessarily.
A Groover like "Amphibia" with continuous, swearing to
Beats and wild Soli shifts you into a condition of perfect Trance,
lets you a Veitztanz specify, after whose end you will sink perfectly exhausted to soil. This Leads, such uncontrolled guitar parts I for a
long time did not hear. Killer!
In the reason one can put this disk of all fans of the "Spine OF God"
to the heart, which best MONSTERS MAGNET album, whereby the
British partially psychedelischer, melodischer zuwerke go.
Their Hymnen does not have both volume and that too scarcely.
For psyche/space Freaks, which wants to test 70's things beside that also times ingenious current of volume, is that here a Offenbahrung.
There Elektrohasch Stefan made again a good catch.
Fat a Vinyl is only missing.
TRACK cunning:
01) Everybody's gonna draws their heads
02) The longest hour
03) Leone
04) The more river
05) Slate blue sky
06) Psychomania
07) Amphibia
0 save ME
09) Beyond the revolution
10) Leone (reprise)"
this is a translation therefore 'kings of frog iceland!!'

With a name like Rush how could I not like something that is a great combination of prog and 70's rock brought up to date with a slight hint of Danzig and Sabbath |

There's definitely that sort of feeling on a couple of the tracks. |
