How the fuck do I describe this record other than " I dig this"?
Late last night I decided to go through some old stacks of CD's down in the garage and found this little gem that I was pretty obsessed with about six years ago.
Things were a bit different then - I wasn't a parent yet - and I used to be able to blast tunes & stay up *ahem* "partying" until early the next morning.
This CD was in heavy rotation on most days/nights.
Them days is gone, but the soundtrack to those years remains, and this still sounds good to me.
Lots of fat riffs drilled into the ground, creating a heavy groove w/o quite being hardcore, metalcore, stoner rock, or (ugh) "nu-metal".
This CD is perfect for a late night solo drive through bad weather on a stretch of unfamiliar road - maybe that should have been my entire description for this, huh? - anyways, Sacramento, CA's Will Haven broke up for a few years, then got back together a year or two ago & released a new record but honestly? That record ain't so hot.
Enjoy this shining moment.
Now playing: The Beach Boys - God Only Knows

Reminds me a lot of Burst. Good shit dude.
ReplyDeleteHmm... yep, that's a good comparision, Trey.
ReplyDeleteI haven't listened to Burst in a while, have to dig that shit out too I guess.
I have all of these guy's releases if anyone shows interest. This one you posted is probably my favorite one, though.
ReplyDeleteI have them all as well.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard for me to pick one to post, but I figured this one was the best.
Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while...thanks for the reminder! Now I'll have to dig out some old Snapcase as well...
ReplyDeleteHey Andy what's up, homie?
ReplyDeleteSnapcase? I never "got" that band.
Just seemed like some weird VH-1 kind of thing to me.
Maybe I'll give it another shot - post it.
Cool beans
ReplyDeleteNailed it. One of the heaviest albums of all time, once you accept the Korn & Deftones influence.
