"You know whats' up-dude who jammed with Wino with the 'Caravan has his own gig now, the no frills no nonsense Earthride. Vocals of the "I drink glass" variety are accompanied by obese Sabbath riffs, nice and fuzzy with the bass providing a big bottom. Southern Lord really doesn't dissapoint, and they certainly havn't started to here. Perfect companion to your mind-altering drug of choice. Nice organ flourishes here and there by Clutchs' new buddy. Disciples of the riff obey-pick this up when you're in the market for a new slab of rock."

For the discriminating doom fanatic.

"EARTHRIDE is home-grown pure Maryland doom. If you think we make good crabcakes, take a listen to the doom metal. This isn't gonna tickle fans of that gothy imported PARADISE LOST type stuff. Sherman's vocals are coarse, croaky, and sinister. Stuff like "God's Own Medicine" is just perfect, moving from a bubbling tar riff to perhaps the pace of SABS "Paranoid" while evil growls and snarls abound. "Drink some whiskey and bite down on this leather", he suggests. I suggest you stop messing around with the pseudo-stuff and pick up the real thing."

Even Better than "Taming of the Demons" ???

"If you liked "Taming" you will love this. The songwriting is a little more consistent, but the blending of the instuments is even rougher than on "Taming". So, it will take a few listens, but then it will sound like a whole new album. This is very very good doom metal.
