Quest for Fire - Quest for Fire

Lovingly pinched from Slant Magazine: Look north, young hesher: Toronto’s Quest for Fire, comprised of former members of Deadly Snakes and Cursed, has emerged from that land of curling and universal healthcare with their muscular and assured debut, a smoldering oil spill of stoner-rock.

Yes, there’s a surfeit of talented Sabbath and Hawkwind knockoffs clomping around, and yes, we’re looking at a fairly typical pedigree (hardcore kids hitting the bong instead of the bar) for a psycho-motor band. But enough craft and subtlety can bring life to even the most charred earth. Excellently atmospheric, Quest for Fire’s self-titled debut ultimately elevates itself above direct Sabbathian comparisons by reaching toward some truly magnificent crescendos, at times sounding closer to mournful, early grunge.
