Turtle Skull – Heavy as Hell

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.
