about

"Shunning the normal, ruling musical orthodoxy, this is a truly unique bit of work, a concept sort of album based on a self-penned story bursting from the musical underground, filled with macabre characters, beliefs and thinking. And, as if that was not enough to keep the interest and surprise, he has delivered an album with only two tracks, both over twenty minutes long and each telling a profoundly disturbing story. In reality, each track is varied in tempo and texture, kicking off with an at times near-classical meter that echoes wildly, and a tad disturbingly at times, from track one, The Emissary, then with a continuing theme in track two, The Reaper." - Iain Patience, Blues Magazine, Netherlands

Wrank
by Mastiff

supported by 5 fans who also own “CrowSoul”

Wrank is easily my favourite Mastiff release which, unlike more recent releases that have strong leanings to a black metal sound (not my taste), is packed full of sludgy doomy riffs with a hardcore edge and an extraordinarily dynamic and powerful vocal delivery (listen to Lord of the Worm, and Leeches, for example). If you have ever wondered what it feels like to be repeatedly bludgeoned in the face with a club hammer then you have found your answer here. Master of Alchemy

The Edge of the Land

While undoubtedly Katie has her own unique style, I can hear the spirit of John Martyn and Michael Chapman in her guitar work (and she has a better singing voice than both). A wonderful album Martin Willcox

I discovered these guys about a month ago and I'm obsessed. Alex has such a powerful voice and Paul's riffs are one of a kind. A unique band with a killer sound, heavy grooves and awesome melodies Anthony Rizzo

Heard this one when buying Classic Rock Presents…THE BLUES Magazine. I loved the track alot and desided to find out more about this artist. And so I did. I'm now the lucky owner of two cd's and hopefully there will be more. Many great songs on this CD. Troygutt
