Brutus-Behind the Mountains

Svart Records
2013


"Behind the Mountains" is album number 2 for throw-back rockers Brutus. These guys are-straight worshipers of all things 70's with a sound that is rich in texture. This Scandinavian quintet bow down in awe to the likes of Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Budgie, Grand Funk Railroad and Blue Cheer. With no pro-tools in sight the group pumps out fuzzy rock that comes smoking out of the speakers in a hazy mist. With a lead vocalist that sounds like a young (and less stoned) Ozzy the band pulls out all the stops to create this blissful, beer-soaked stoner rock that carries you up and away to a time and place when things were more organic and natural. This one makes sweet love to your eardrums and is very likely to make my best of 2013 list!
