Doom Metal / Psych-Rock

Turtle Skull – Heavy as Hell

by Stephan Boissonneault

Who knew the Aussies could rip so hard? Turtle Skull, an undisputed “flower doom” rock quartet sure does. The newest track “Heavy as Hell” is a vibrating slab of fuzz-drenched psychedelia featuring the band’s signature vocal harmonies. The mix of the male and female vocals with the layering synth lines feels a bit ’60s psych ala Jefferson Airplane, but with a dose of Boris or Electric Wizard.

“Heavy as Hell” is truly a marvel of sonic doom and psych layering, capping off with a filthy guitar solo. The black and white music video is also quite enjoyable, featuring the band in a darkened room lit by sporadic LED lights synced to the music, slowly losing their collective minds.
