“Leave a Little Room for Jesus” has the band grinding their heels into the earth while fire and brimstone rains down from On High. “Menstrualcity” is frightening and ravenous. “PxBxPxTxBx” calls to mind early Mudvayne, with a propensity for frequent tempo changes, flirtations with atonality, and absolutely ruthless verses. The interplay of riff with rhythm really is something to behold, a weave of heavy influences from thrash to death, groove to extreme. Unless you’re one of those people who likes good walking music, then you can appreciate the music’s idiosyncrasies as you improve your cardiovascular health. Get ready to fuck shit up while listening to the A-side. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Buzzherd this riled up before. One band is among the more elusive in the stoner-doom universe, the other prolific with a whopping handful of albums. Both have been around about as long as this publication, as a matter of fact. Both hail from the frost belt, BUZZHERD from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and PALE HORSEMAN from Chicago, Illinois. Here’s an album that’s well-suited to the cold wave that many of us are starting to taste as October marches to an end, leaving us with piles and piles of leaves or needles to rake.
