GLOW  Gone, But Never Forgotten  CD   (Alone -Spain-)   11.98
Gone, But Never Forgotten IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Seriously awesome/heavy debut from madrid psychedelic doomster's GLOW beams straight out of 1975 and channels absolute asskicking post-Hellhound Records

vibes with this eight song album. You know what we wish we heard alot more of from doom metal bands? COWBELL. At the risk of echoing the now-classic

SNL skit, you just can't have enough cowbell, and GLOW offer it up in spades. The album starts off strong with heavy duty doom rock in the vein of

The Obsessed and Saint Vitus, totally born-too-late shit, with obvious nods to Black Sabbath, but Glow really hit the mark with the third song, "Rush", a

crushing slab of metallic flower power that simultaneously recalls Louder Than Love era Soundgarden and primo Maryland Doom a la Unorthodox and

Internal Void, but with massive downtuned guitars and huuuge chugging riffage, and a killer cowbell break lifted straight offa Nazareth that'll have

you lifting 10 sets of horns. The rest of the album continues in this vein, with killer hooks, reverb'd soul vocals, crazed wah-wah freakouts, and even some

doped up Hammond organ infused funeral dirge jam on "Seasons". An excellent dose of saurian doom and soaring, bonged-to-oblivian hippie sludge. Tacks on a

cover of VITUS' "Living Backwards" + some live video footage as a bonus.
