Album of the day: Black Pyramid – Black Pyramid

Lovingly pinched from StonerRock.com: Massachusetts doomers Black Pyramid meet at the point of the road whereby the venerated riffs of Sleep cross paths with the modern beastly aesthetic that has come to replace the boogie vans and pot references as the go-to subject matter for new school stoner metal.

Guitarist /vocalist Andy Beresky has a voice caught between a gruff and clean delivery that sounds like it’s coming right out of the side of his mouth as he describes his plot to ‘kill the Sagittarius’ on ‘Visions of Gehenna’ –track two of nine following the intro ‘…And the Gods Made War’  –and the mission of heralding the genre’s past while marching it into the future is clear. Black Pyramid is next gen stoner (whatever wave we’re up to now -I can’t keep count).
