New Vinyl Breakdown 2001 (continued from page 3)
'Hard to Beat' Trezz's hammer-slashing ax brings the band's funk-bashing attack home, while the Fuzz/Wawa-torqued Sabbath Meets Lord Sutch-on-Tool onslaught of 'Crawlspace' and the wailing Iggy-fied take on "F66" show off the focus these guys bring from years of headbanging among their various bands past
The new project was produced by Monster Magnet's Phil Caivano and looks to be a major contender in the Stoner-Space Grindrock vein, also plans are afoot for European Indy Release and Tour, and look for Heavy Liquid pouring it on in an opening slot at the next local Monster Magnet show..

And while we're treading in the realm of the heavy and the heavenly, we're just tripping over a new project from former Blue Oyster Cult keyboardist Tommy Zvoncheck.
