OVERVIEW:
The Maltese doomsters from NOMAD SON have made a huge impact on the scene with their debut and live shows. Their 2nd album brings dark, Hammond-driven, ominous heavy doom metal tinged with epic and obscure soundscapes - the perfect tapestry for the band's take on the spiritual, social and moral decay afflicting humankind in today's unrepentant world. This soundtrack for the apocalypse has irresistible charm, especially if you worship TROUBLE, CANDLEMASS, KRUX, ABSTRAKT ALGEBRA, PENTAGRAM, SAINT VITUS, LAS CRUCES but also DEEP PURPLE or ATOMIC ROOSTER. Skeptics shall see you can bang your head to doom!
