One Inch Giant - Fur of the Lord

 

Today we are looking a little bit outside the framework and listen to a record that was at the door the other day. One Inch Giant, a Stoner Rock band from Gothenburg who have just released their six-track EP "Malva". Already at the first glance one gets interested, the cruelly beautiful cover captures me immediately (Art lover as I am), a sketched work with children book influences made by Emma Ekstam. I think that the image represents the small community of "Malva"

The EP contains 6 very well written songs, were the music is heavy, doomish, powerful, strong stoner rock filled with good classic riffs signed by Gabriel Lugo Méndez. Filip Åstrand vocals are strong and powerful and fits well into this heavy mammoth fur. Also the rhythm section consisting of drummer Gabriel Ek and the bass player Axel Berglund keeps the line straight and rhythmic.

The first track "Ripe And Bold" kicks off the EP before the song begins in earnest, with distorted guitar riffs with light bluesy influences. "Fur Of The Lord" begins much quieter with fuzzed guitar loop and a little more softer in the tune.
"Train of Lies" has a bit more classic hard rock song sound with a adequate part of the emphasis accompanied by melodic hooks that murmurs throughout the song. "Feed The Fire" & "Echoes In The Night" are two really heavy track, where the last retrieves influences from Black Sabbath. The EP ends with the gruesome opening of "Treasures That Betrayer" before the song kicks off in earnest.

The record is mastered by the legendary Peter In De Betou (who previously worked with bands like Meshuggah, Bring Me The Horizon and many others).

The EP has a high class, it is rhythmic and melodic, the band shows a real talent for good song writing.
