Holy crap…this is GOOOOODDDD…clearly we weren’t expecting to press play and be blown away like this! Don’t sleep on this! For any of you fans of stoner rock/metal/sludge style bands…Malaysian band Berdosa bring the goods.
“Berdosa is a three piece, heavy-laden, psychedelic rock band from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The band consists of Ravi Shankar on Drums, Ezekiel Mavani on Bass, and Afiq Iskandar on Vocals & Guitar duties with a healthy serving of fuzz on the side.
The sound can be best described as a dysfunctional, yet amicable marriage between early 90’s alternative metal and the contemporary fuzzed-out stoner rock bands.
As far as the influences go, bands such as Deftones, Windhand, Chevelle, Weedeater, Mastodon, Black Sabbath, Tool, Meshuggah (yes, that Meshuggah) and the mighty Electric Wizard often thrown around the rehearsal space. As a sonic unit, the band pushes the composite boundaries of the arguably comfortable ‘’stoner rock’’ sound by incorporating drop C tuned harsh-noise sequencing, samples, ethnic percussions and even classical strings, while simultaneously retaining downtrodden sludge rhythms, time-warped solos and reverberated vocals. So much reverb.”
Hold on – we have to hit play again for the tenth time.
What a MASSIVE announcement by our fellas in Japanese hardcore legends LOYAL TO THE GRAVE. After 7 long years, the band has just announced a brand new 5 track...
