the dull eyes - titanomachy

the dull eyes is a young band from the west of germany, düsseldorf to be precise. they play a brand of hardcore induced stoner/doom metal. they already released a 10" in 2013 which goes by the name of 'war anthems'. i have this release too and bought it actually before i got my hands on 'titanomachy', but for currency reasons i chose to go with their full length first. to be perfectly honest, with a duration of almost twenty five minutes this is only scantly a full length but muically this is played so damn good.
perfect stoner worship. they have stripped down their hardcore elements to an hardly existent minimum and it worked out pretty well. 'titanomachy' easily outguns the first 10" by far. i didn't know beforehand and probably it isn't that much of a novelty, but at least it is for me and so i'll share it with you. titanomachy is the term for the 'clash of titans' from the greek mythology. that is a pretty cool album title, if you ask me.
if you're interested you can download or stream their whole album via their soundcloud. the vinyl version was released by germany's powertrip records. on my search for this album on the net, i came across another mailorder from germany, called evil greed. searching their offerings i found a purple copy of 'titanomachy' and some more vinyl to add to the order. check them out. what i have is what i believe to be the regular version out of 300 copies. i'm not really sure, information is a bit scarce. powertrip records. 2014.
