This German band traffics in a quirky brand of stoner sludge rock that at times reminds me of Kyuss quite a bit (like on the song "Upcoming", which sounds like it coulda been a rough jam from Blues For The Red Sun, but then there are parts where the singer's suddenly turns into a dramatic husky croon and it starts to sound like Danzig fronting Queens Of The Stone Age. Sorta. Duster 69 certainly keeps things varied and interesting on Angel King, switching the songs up between driving, punkier numbers, slow grooving sludge riffs, and a heavy dose of 90's style alt-metal. This might be one of the most accessible releases we carry over here, actually - I could easily imagine fans of everything from stoner rock, doom rock, Life Of Agony, and Danzig grooving on this, even if it is a little rough around the edges with some of the vocals at times. Holy shit, the song "Personal Navigator" just came on and this sounds like a dead ringer for Danzig! Yeah, I still think that the easiest reference point for this album is a loose, slightly buzzed meeting of Danzig and Kyuss and with lots of hard rocking pop-metal hooks and some moments of sludgy heaviness. Best song on here is "Nighttrain". And it's not just because I really like trains at night - nope, it's because this jams is the best execution of that weird Kyuss/Danzig pod-fusion that these guys are fucking with, with one of the more polished vocal performances, an understated hook that I find excruciatingly catchy, and some meaty desert-rock riffing that breaks down into a punishing sludge riff at the end of the track.
