Arc of Ascent - The Higher Key - Clostridium Records CR004 - New Zealand 2012


One of the many bands lead buy the busy Craig Williamson, bass player, singer and songwriter. Arc of Ascent are heavy stoner rock/doom metal which will give you a pretty good idea of what this sounds like. blazing guitar, thunderous drums, Sabbath esq riffs, this is a pretty fine damn example of the genre IMO. This was AOC's second record from 2012 and I think the first track, "Celestial Altar" is the best track. The record motors along relentlessly and although it is a great record, it doesn't drift far from the formula and the vocals tend to sound the same for each track, but play this fucking loud and disappointed you will not be if you like this sort of music. Rating 3.5/5
