In April, those South London (UK) riff-monsters Stoneghost released their relentless and blistering debut album ‘New Age of Old Ways’ which RAW RAMP recently described as:
The band are now preparing to release their third single “Raynardine” from the superb debut:
We had a listen:
A fox can cause carnage in a chicken coop.
That’s why the aniumals are so hated by the farmer and his wife.
Apparently, it is their thirst for blood. They cannot control it when they see all those beautiful chubby birds sitting unprotected … vulnerable.
Foxes go blood crazy.
Once they get their claws and teeth into the first bird, they cannot control the urge to kill and maim everything else that they see.
If you think that a fox is bad, imagine how a were-fox (half man, half fox) such as Reynardine might prey on young hens in the night!
This song is like a raging fox cooped in a charnel house…
First, there is the meat-packing floor of congealed, half panting, half-breathing guitars that combine with the broth of muscled drums and a dark gloopy bass-line.
And this creates the kind of damaging, unhealthy conditions that favour a voice that grinds at your ear-level and crushes your bones along with your spirit.
This song is full of infectious riffage and spirited discharges of vocal.
That delirium, it is such brutal passion!
