Psychedelic stoner disco metal? $20 says that there's more than a couple of you guys out there that at this moment are ready to punch me right in the mouth for letting that sequence of words tumble out of my skull. But I can't think of a better way to describe the awesomeness of the song "Movements And Vibes" and it's five minutes of throbbing, disco-ball spinning, fucking ridiculously catchy blending of heavy stoner riffage and 70's dancefloor action. For real, that song alone had me picking this album up immediately. It's as zonked and perfect as anything off of Sigh's Imaginary Sonicscape, so fucking catchy and infectious, like KISS' disco foray "I Was Made For Loving You" fused to the dopest 80's doom metal imaginable. Holy SHIT. And while that tune is the only foray into doomed dopehuffing disco on the power trio's second album for Meteor City Share, Japanese hippie metallers Eternal Elysium continue to pile on both the weirdness and the heavy, from "Machine"'s hard-chargin' buzzsaw rawk and demonic dripping alien vocals, to the sprawling 9-minute free-jamming and cosmic doom of "Waiting For The Sun" that gets split with some lead guitarwork that reminds me of Leslie West. "Dogma" drops a bizarre gang chorus of "Hi de hi de ho"s in between some tribal psych-rock groovin' over funky conga drums. And the album closes out with a wacked out ambient drone-n-howl piece called "Fairies Never Sleep". EE's bread and butter is heavy (and I mean HEAVY) 70's psych metal with nods to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Japanese psych bands like Flower Travellin' Band and guided by Yukito Okazaki's soaring soulful vocals, but what makes their take on stoner doom so damn infectious is the way they flex their x-factor muscle (every Japanese band's got one...) and drop in a lot of stuff you hardly ever hear doom bands do: damaged garage rock, mutant new wave moves, ass ripping funk, a coupla hooks that sound like they coulda been lifted from one of those paisley alt-rock bands from 1992, and, uh, disco. Granted, Eternal Elysium aren't as balls-out loopy as Sigh can be, but Share is nevertheless some seriously tweaked stuff that fans of Church Of Misery, Electric Wizard, Boris, and yes, Sigh (we're talking their psych rock turn on Sonicscape, here) will most likely flip out over. Highly recommended!!!
