HAPPY St. Patricks Day, PLUMBER!! This is for you...

STEEL MAMMOTH - >>Nuclear Ritual<< (2009)


I know a lot of you dig the first LP by these maniacs.
Look at the fucking cover... I mean look at the sick ass 87 minivan. Thank GOD that the music does this blessed cover art justice!! I think you'll agree as well. These aren't just songs...THESE ARE FUCKING HEAVY METAL ANTHEMS!!!!  The Rock is very reminiscent of a Doom and gloom, less coke/more heroin'd out version of Diamond Nights.  Nuclear Ritual's tracks seem MUCH catchier and almost radio friendly at times, which is sort of refreshing right now.  Midway through the record they still throw down some delay drenched progressive Steely Dan guitar work.  On "Atomic Chainsaws" the Mammoth brings some hella melodic garage riffage.  Followed up by some guitar work that you would hear off a classic Iron Maiden record.  I'm HOPING to see these dudes back in the states again pretty soon.  ENJOY!!  Especially Plumber.

You NEED some Steel Mammoth in your life right now. Face it.

Steel Mammoth
Atomic Mountain (2007)
  I had to cap tonight of with this gem.  If you're not familiar with Steel Mammoth, you're well past due.  Trust me. It's FINNISH hypnotic desert rock that seems to be drug drenched, incredibly coherent, mellow and smart simultaneously. The Vocals blend perfectly with warm guitar tones that remind me of a modern day Supersonic T-Rex!  It's like NOTHING I've ever heard before, which is a quite a feat these days, IMO. And if that's not enough... there's even a hint of Kraut Rock mixed in.  FUCKING AWESOME!  How can you really even go wrong when Steel Mammoth's Mission Statement Reads...

 "A lonesome engine cries, howling in the cruel crüel night! Nuclear nightmare, atomic style! Shadow barbarians with lazer eyes, radiation village, the black fire burning bright!"

 FUCKIN' A is right!  Now follow the link below for the tasty goodness that is, "Atomic Mountain"
