A new great Nasoni-Release: ‘Ethereal Riffian's’ from Ukraine full-length album ‘Aeonian’ is the band’s most mature work combining progressive stoner/doom with mind-bending psychedelic and heaviest riffs in the entire galaxy. The eponymous book merged as a result of our intention to fully disclose the ideas and concepts of this album. Gatefold sleeve for the vinyl with a special 48 pages DIN A4 format book and a 4 pages insert. (Nasoni)

I approached this album as I do every album. I pushed play without thoroughly researching the band, their intentions, their hopes and dreams, rather my hopes and dreams as to perhaps finding a cool ass album to play over and over. That said, these guys seem to have a ton of ambition and unique ideas reading up on them after I had listened to the album and formed initial thoughts and descriptions for this review. Go check them out on their website to get a feel of what they are all about. As for the music here goes my experience:

To start things off, if there ever was a band to pull off being named Ethereal Riffian it’s the band named Ethereal Riffian. They basically invite all those who live within the riff worshipping community to gather, uninhibited, for a celebration of poetically and celestially heavy riffs. Although the riffs aren't light, the music portrays a feeling of serenity within its masculinity. Take heed of the album art as well which is always the first thing we as listeners see when scanning for new albums before pushing the play button. Grinding brain gears propelled by a sonic planetary spectrum of light. Ya, that could be used to describe the sound of the 4 track 45 minute album as well.

Thugdam opens the album with a crunchy magnetic riff, shaping into psychedelic solo interludes laced between melodic guitar cracklings. The vocals brood together scriptures of worship to the occult altar, with all out doomy intentions. The shortest song on the album dances to a close with an evil tribal psych guitar pow-wow.

Huge drums throb their way to the frontlines to kick off the March of Spiritu. Trudging away, awakening all inhabitants within microphones distance, the 2:20 minute mark sparks the commanding orders of Captain Stonezilla himself, guarded by troops of distorted fuzz. The spirit of doom battles on proudly and strategically, growing larger with every smattering riff. Ducking and darting in and out of the gargantuan slumbers of the riff cannons, to snarly strumming of the swords, Spiritu marches on into the Nothing. Vocals keep the adrenaline from excerpting all energy by restoring their true doom origin throughout.

The tracks seem to flow epically in nature, captivating the listener throughout their 11-minute plus durations. The singing seems to delve deeper and softer into the mix as the journey peddles on acting more as an instrument accentuating its dark mystic tone amongst its guitars.

Each song is spiked full of latent fuzz, scented with that ever so pleasant Nola groove which deserves the utmost applause by combining raw power and rhythm to the wickedly brain-fried absence of reality.

Anatman conquers the beaten warpath by unlocking a majestic Pink Floydian introductory passage leading to a hammer down of perhaps the wickedest rhythm on the 4 song epic.
High pitch guitar screams frantically echo through the boggy field of mire while the battle-axes palpitate the landscape into liquid sludge.

The album oozes seriously doomy bliss without surrendering its medicinal marijuana card. Only getting better with each listen as more and more buried treasures unearth themselves from beneath the belly of this epic beast.

If you claim to be a fan of the all mighty riff, the darkness of doom, or the tripped out jammy type, you will find it all on Aeonian. Be on the lookout.(Bucky Brown/thesludgelord.blogspot.com)
