Surprisingly diverse melodic Cosmic Doom from this Norwegian trio. The nine songs on Moon Ranger Gone Evil mostly revolve around slow,

trippy riffs and Sabbathian vocals that recall Maryland stoner blues doom like Unorthodox and Internal Void, with an added helping of jacked up, acid-washed

70's psych-boogie, but things get really heavy here and there with some supremo monstrous Candlemass-meets-Sons Of Otis space doom chug that drops in at a

leaden crawl, and there's also a few moments of wispy psychedelic pop and mellow jazz flourishes that add to the bonged out atmosphere. Our fave track off of

this is the drum-free "Mantra Of Doom", with its cyclical droning melody that could have come off of EARTH's Phase III: Thrones And Dominions and

stoned vocals drifting into the ether.
