This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
Filthiest Sludge record I've ever been deafened by!! Riffs are disgustingly heavy, the pounding of the drums is ferocious, the bass is gnarly as shit, & the vocals are pure evil!! ALL HAIL DOPETHRONE🤘 TheMetalheadGuy
A ferocious display of blackened stoner-doom from Moscow's Moanhand, who offsets moments of bleak ugliness with clean, haunting melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2021
Released to coincide with Ripple Music's 2018 SXSW showcase, a number of these bands have gained real traction in the ensuing months. The legendary swampy heavy rock of Wo Fat needs no introduction and is well represented here. As is the furious hard-rock of Mothership, whose real star is their lead guitarist -- some awesome soloing on display. Elsewhere, The Watchers and Steak show the abundance of talent on the Ripple roster, with this sampler barely scratching the surface. Logen Ninefingers
