Zitat:Currently causing a big stir on the Stoner Rock scene, New Zealand's Datura are now taking the world by storm with this, their second album following in the wake of the now legendary Allisone. Approaching the Hard Rock/Stoner sound from a slightly different angle to many of the more 'metal' sounding Stoner bands, Datura apply much more of an Acid feel to their music.
There are many, many bands jumping on the Stoner bandwagon, with most just churning out bland, lumbering sludge. In our opinion, Datura are up there with the the 'big boys' such as Kyuss and Monster Magnet and deserve all the credit they get because this album is packed full of acid soaked monster riffs, awesomeley relentless drumming and spaced out vocals. Sure this is Stoner Rock but it's roots are firmly in the heavy psychedelia of Blue Cheer, Jimi Hendrix and the MC5. The distorted wah wah of 'Magnetise' delivered in a powered up Hendrix style opens the album and is a fine opening track setting the pace for what is an awesome album. 'Sunshine in purple' is big, heavy psych guitar, backed up by Craig Williamson's pulsing bass and powerful vocals. 'Reaching out' is a lot harder, faster and heavier. 'Euphoria', perhaps the stongest track, is full of heavy swirling guitar and spaced out effects. 'Voyage' changes down a gear in a powerful Kyuss sounding style. All too soon this excellent album is over, but not before the awesome psychedelic epic that is 'Mantra' takes you on one last trip, slowly building up layers of trippy effects, carried along by a meandering guitar jam.
Strapped on the front of this stonking album is one of the best covers we've seen for a while (by Franz Landl) click on the pic below to check it out.
We strongly recommend scoring one of these if you are a fan of Heavy Psych/Stoner.
