Talismana by Sweat Lodge will be released on 7th August 2015 on Ripple Music
“Roll one, light up, and do as Sweat Lodge would do: Burn it slow and take it in.”
Consequence of Sound
This August, Ripple Music are releasing Talismana, the long-awaited debut album from one of America’s most exciting and downright badass psychedelic metal bands, Sweat Lodge.
Charged by Consequence of Sound earlier in the year with the task of
turning in one of the ‘Most Anticipated Metal Albums of 2015,’ the
Austin, TX outfit have made good on their promise with a record that
delivers more than you could possibly ever ask from it. Pillaging and
plundering some of the most explosive eras of hard rock, heavy
psychedelia and proto-metal with a conviction and execution rarely found
this side of the millennium; in short, Sweat Lodge’s potential is one
that knows no bounds.
Seizing on the southern grooves of Fu Manchu, Saint Vitus and the
blues-driven majesty of 70s legends Mountain and fellow Texans ZZ Top,
across Talismana – riff after punishing riff, howl after
soulful howl – the vintage sound of rock ‘n’ roll reigns supreme,
sparked through an engine of uncompromising youth. As anyone who
witnessed the band’s debut TV appearance on Last Call With Carson Daly
a few months back will testify, charismatic front man and vocalist Cody
Lee Johnston’s ability to bring it on home is hypnotic. Backed by the
gnarled bass fuzz of Austin Shockley, the Bonham-esque drum play of
Caleb Dawson and guitar interplay of Javier Gardea and Dustin Anderson,
the band has been unstoppable this year and with Talismana they have delivered an essential record for fans of the genre.
