It’s been a long while since the release of
Swedish stoner rockers Kaross’ outstanding debut album Molossus, actually six
years! The band, now reinforced with former Slug guitarist Kalle Sjöstrand, has
finally made their second ten-track effort available to the public. If you
haven’t heard the band before, try to imagine a doom-oriented stoner version of
The Cult. A heavy, riff-oriented, repetitive, grinding powerful concrete floor
of music topped with Magnus Knutas vocals sounding like a mix of Ian Astbury
and Ralf of Mustasch. It’s a mix that works for me. We’re not talking hits
here, kids, this is really album music. It’s an album you can put on and groove
to, beginning to end. Good stuff indeed!
