		They attack with a mid-tempo yet aggressive sound, infusing enough groove to sink the “HMCS Uganda ”, which was the largest and strongest warship in the Royal Canadian Navy.
		Killer guerilla riffs that remind of bands like Alabama Thunderpussy, Cable and 16 create an energetic mastodon atmosphere which is certainly going to be appreciated by stoner/sludge fans but maybe also by Sabbath/Sleep disciples who can digest a lot of groove and vocals that tend to hardcore in their heavy mix.
		My only complaint about this “HCMS Uganda ” is that it’s actually too short (7 tracks – 27 minutes) and just as you start enjoying it as listener, it’s over and you need to repress the play button.
