Assuming you haven’t already heard, Florida has a pretty bitchin’ metal scene. Ascending from the bowels of Tampa are the renegades of boogy and grime, Beerwolf. Once their brand of electric groove snags you, you’ll be taken along for the ride that is Planetfall.
Yes, all 59 minutes of this space groove arcane doom trip will please you. Not enough labels for you? How about psychedelic fuzz monster. That’s what Planetfall is, which you’ll experience as guitarist Matt Howland takes you on a trip to other places, reducing you to slick protoplasmic ooze as he tears through time. The hypnotic rhythms of bass player Jason Kleim evoke a traditional free spirited rock aesthetic, which fits wonderfully with Beerwolf’s lyrics of heathen high adventure. In the background drummer Ashwin Prasad leads you along with grace, and easily pummels like a gigantic wave.
Borrowing from The Sword, Witchfinder General, Cathedral, 70s rock icons and of course Black Sabbath’s chunky blues riffs, Beerwolf have a lot to offer. The steady kindling of “Opium Meadows”, the flamboyant ecstacy of “Haze Arcane”, and the orthodox groove of “Magick Warbird” all make for something special that you want to feel a part of. As the titanic “Epilogue” closes the door on this maelstrom, you will be left with the aftershock of Planetfall branded into your skull. Planetfall can be purchased here through Ripple Music.
