DRUIDS Shadow Work

Popis:

Shrouded in mystique and driven by the invigorating power of low notes, heavy psychedelic rock / metal outfit Druids return with their fourth studio-album “Shadow Work”. With a title referring to one of the chief ideas of the notable psycho-analist Carl Gustav Jung, the trio from Des Moines, Iowa present a wild, riff-laden journey through the desolate wastelands of the subconscious. Combining sonic prowess with psychedelic heaviness Druids serve their grooves with a distinctly forward-thinking attitude, taking their witchy brand of psychedelic stoner rock and sludge metal to a new level of sophistication. All across these eight phantasmagorical tracks, Druids portray their unique way of exploring riffs and grooves in multiple ways - both texturally and contextually - exhausting each possibility before moving to the next part and rarely to return to the first. However, instead of rejecting the traditional verse chorus scheme altogether, the trio has found a new way of playing with certain formulas of song structure at times, while intentionally straying away from them at other times. Emerging from the murky waters of the pandemic years, Druids have created a sweeping opus that offers an experience that exists on the interface of expression and introspection. An enlightening mix of psychedelic rock, atmospheric sludge and classic heavy metal that is both deeply rooting and refreshingly uplifting.
