The Budos Band return with Burnt Offering, a wild, booze-fueled ride of hazy riffs and takeno-prisoners horn lines that summons the occult - an evolved sound for this mighty 10-piece band sparked by their love of Black Sabbath and Pentagram.
Burnt Offering was recorded live in the studio, engineered and produced by Tom Brenneck, a founding member and guitarist in The Budos Band who r uns Dunham Records and Studios. It was written at the band's longtime Staten Island studio, where they've gathered for weekly rehearsals for over fifteen years. The haunting album cover was created by drummer Brian Profilio, a NYC public school ar t teacher.
The new album is dripping with the psychedelic sounds of early heavy metal fused with the tightknit propulsion of Fela Kuti. "The Sticks" kicks off with a snarling riff seamlessly doubled on bass and guitar and unfurls into sludgy breakdowns and searing guitars.
"This track is a total fireball ... takes the best of psychedelic rock and Blaxploitation era soul and turns it into a raging beast. - Okayplayer
"The Budos Band are completely dialed in ... This group of musicians have honed their sound to perfection. Their freewheeling, heavy funk and soulful sound is totally infectious." - Dave Lombardo (Slayer) |
