I was well into the Mouthus/ Yellow Swans 'Live On Conan Island' LP on No-Fi and for some reason thought it was just a UK version of 'Conan Island' so I'm obviously buzzing at the fact that we got hold of some of the 'Conan Island' LP on weird Forest which is actually a different recording alltogether. This sounds fucking great. Exactly what you want out the collaboration. It just hits my cerebral cortex and massages it into oblivion. Deep layers of rich sound zap my body into a state of calm. I'm hypnotized. The great thing about Mouthus records is you can sometimes play them on both speeds which works for a few parts on here. The stuff dreams are made of... Big thumbs up from me.

An inevitable match made in Hades. Four titans workin' it out in the primordial mulch and all the gods are cowering in their presence. The dual intertwining guitar-attack impacts and fragments into the dense concrete percussion forest surrounded by a shroud of pulsing caterwauling skree. A harum-scarum locomotive ride of thick, bombastic & heavy proportions..just like you want it to be. Play loud for optimum effect! Cover art by Brian Sullivan.
