| Those infamous sludge outlaws WEEDEATER finally return with their long-awaited fifth full-length Goliathan. Their new album marks the crossroads where true Southern rock and metal meet raw humour, old religion, as well as weed and whiskey. Goliathan embodies the bandâs trademark shuffle and swagger at their fullest. Syrupy slow riffs are buoyed by canyon-deep bass and some of the hardest-hitting drumming since Keith Moon. Full-on bruisers such as âCain Enablerâ, âClaw of the Slothâ, and the aptly-named âBullyâ demonstrate that Goliathan is delivering a vintage WEEDEATER and the soon-to-be gold standard of Southern sludge metal. At its founding, the band rose like a doobie phoenix out of the ashes of BUZZOVâ˘EN. When the cult sludge act called it a day, bass player Dave âDixieâ Collins teamed up with guitarist Dave âShepâ Shepherd and founded WEEDEATER in the harbor town of Wilmington about the year 1998. Their crushing and massive first full-length ââŚand Justice for Yâallâ (2001) created an immediate buzz, while critics were struggling to put a tag on their sound. Nearly everybody agreed that stoner rock, doom, sludge and some crusty elements were part of the mix, which the band simply calls âweed metalâ. The debut was produced by renowned engineer Billy Anderson (EYEHATEGOD, NEUROSIS) as well as sophomore album âSixteen Tonsâ (2002). WEEDEATER went out to perform live with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY and ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY among others. After some detours of Dixie Dave, who played shortly with BONGZILLA and SOURVEIN, third album âGod Luck and Good Speedâ hit the world in 2007 and shifted the bandâs focus slightly towards the stoner side. The latest full-length âJason⌠the Dragonâ got delayed when vocalist Dixie Dave lost a toe due to an incident with his favourite shotgun. When the sludge driven album finally came out in 2011, shows in the US and Europe cemented the bandâs reputation as a fierce live entity. After signing to Season of Mist, WEEDEATER reissued their full back-catalogue on their new label. Yet the Bible Belt state of North Carolina, USA remains a fertile ground for hemp and stoner rock. Goliathan makes the South smoke again. Lean back and let this monster record blow your mind! |
