When I think of New Zealand, I think of rugged beautiful terrain, Lord Of The Rings, Kiwi’s, and a very admirable and progressive government. I don’t think of heavy music, but that has changed after hearing the new and first full length album by END BOSS entitled “They Seek My Head”.
What a brilliant album. It’s a gorgeous amalgamation of Doom, Stoner Rock, and Metal. The arrangements are inventive, the songs are really catchy, the riffs are pummeling, and the vocal harmonies are awesome. But it is EJ Thorpe’s beautiful, booming, and soaring voice that steals the show. Her vocal performance on this album is absolutely incredible.
The first single called “Punished” is a hella-cool tune and the performance video is bad-ass. I love EJ's pony-tail...HA!!!
“Becomes The Gold” and “The Crawl” lurch forth with dark cavernous beauty while “Nail And Tooth” and “Lorded Over” engage a killer and thunderous mid-tempo stomp that will keep your head bobbin and feet tappin. There isn’t a bad or skip-over song on this album. It’s just one awesome number after another.
