Notable Quotes

❝ Warmly welcomed, El-Thule arrive, who anyway start well with their nice fast Stoner, little Kyuss and very distorted.

❝ Recorded, produced, and mixed between Italy and Sweden by Niklas "Mr.Dango" Kallgren, guitarist of Truckfighters, the album distinctly distances itself from the debut, which was certainly more raw and visceral, showcasing a great musical growth and leaning towards a more abrasive, devastating yet psychedelic and rich in post-stoner suggestions sound.
