One of the most exciting new demos in land of the fuzzed out rock/doom
metal comes from Ohio¹s Abdullah. Mixing melodic, clean vocals reminiscent
of Kings X with Sabbath-inspired rock riffs, this two-piece studio project
sees Alan Seibert handling all guitars while Jeff Shrilla drums and does the
vocals. While the dual vocal layering on tracks such as The Path To
Enlightenment may be too close to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath territory, it is
true ear candy for the fully obsessed fans of all that is slow,
groove-oriented and fuzzy. Now here¹s hoping they find a bassist soon and
start playing shows - if these guys are anywhere near as good live as they
are on disc, it'd be worth driving down to OH to check them out real soon.
