(June 2024) Episode 578 is ACRIMONY, a band out Wales considered a pioneer of stoner metal in the UK. By now you know the reasons for my love for this subgenre. Acrimony combines the loud low fuzz with space rock elements, and at times delivers the deliciousness with a boogie not often associated with this music. Unfortunately, their approach didn’t catch on in the UK, and they broke up shortly after 1996’s Tumuli Shroomaroom, a masterwork of the subgenre.
Favourite album: Tumuli Shroomaroom
Favourite song: Heavy Feather
Compared to expectations: ↑
Recommendation: Strong recommendation for Tumuli Shroomaroom but also for the earlier EPs.
