i had some money left to burn of my monthly vinyl budget and so i looked around what records would probably suit my mood. i landed at the kozmik artifactz store which is one of the best stoner/doom/psych mailorders here in germany. i browsed through the "new arrivals" section and came across two records that looked really interesting. the first one was the first full length by a band called hyborian.
the four piece hails from kansas city, mo and the description at kozmik artifactz said something about high on fire and mastodon worship. that was pretty much all i needed to make me more than curious. i checked out their bandcamp page and what i heard made me crave this record. the comparisons made in the description are absolutely accurate, even though i fell they lean more towards the early mastodon side. if you are a fan of the aforementioned bands you should definitely check them out.
"vol. 1" is a riff monster that sinks its claws into the listener and won't let go. i was lucky enough to snag the last remaining copy in stock at kozmik artifactz. this edition comes on slick blue and black merge vinyl and is called "aqueous nebula". the rest is a sturdy slip sleeve with a double sided insert and a download code. the clear and black vinyl options are still available via the label the company. go, get a copy before they are gone! 100 copies made. the company. 2017.
