Goatsnake, Trampled Under Hoof
Label: Southern Lord

Trampled Under Hoof puts together the best Goatsnake performances in the short form, accentuating the band's superb interpretations of songs by Saint Virus and Black Oak Arkansas. Singer Pete Stahl (formerly of DC hardcore mainstays Scream) is at his most lugubrious on Vitus '"Burial at Sea," a number that Scott Reagher's wail originally turned into a classic of stoner rock. Turning the mood completely around, Stahl electrocutes for BOA's "Hot Rod," delivering an on-fire Jim Dandy Mangrum tempered with Howlin 'Wolf. The rest of the EP comes down squarely in the early heavy metal of 1970-72, thumping and rumbling riff-rock driven by the bummed-out blooz of white boys.

Stoner Rock

Cochlea-shattering dB levels, s-l-o-w guitar riffs, bandmembers who look like they walked off the set of Billy Jack (even the girls), speaker cabinets stacked until the stage groans under the weight and an aesthetic that prizes atmosphere over catchy tunes: That's stoner rock — a genre that peaked around 2000 and collapsed soon after — and its close, crazy relative, doom metal. Stoner rockers overwhelmingly pointed to the mighty Black Sabbath as inspiration. One can easily… more »
