Heavy metal headbangers and sailors of the mind, gather round for Thieves and Liars, the new riffalicious album by Oakland five-piece Blackwülf. Released by San Ramon’s very own Ripple Music, this is the band’s fourth full-length in their 10-year history, and it shows through their meticulous rhythm and tone. The album’s peak may arrive on “Psychonaut / Edge of Light,” a nearly nine-minute sojourn that begins with a rapid romping electric gallop before transitioning through entrancing prayer for guitar and voice and then arriving in a pillowy, acoustic moment of serenity.
For even more excellent psychedelic, stoner, doom, and heavy rock from around the world, check out the rest of the catalog from Ripple Music.
