THE REVIEW

Swedes, since 1996.

Complete, balanced, and powerful.

"A Single Book Of Songs" is a splendid album, poised yet aggressive, woven with energetic sound compositions and overflowing with great ideas for each song. Sabbathian fumes, piano à la Deep Purple, big band orchestral passages that the old Motorpsycho would love, but above all an extraordinary intuition for 70s prog-rock blends: like less complex King Crimson or tougher Gentle Giant; a scientific card game with Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Metal has withered like the breasts of a beautiful prostitute who has now given too much to too many.

Stoner survives on old ghosts and new distortions.

Wave plundered by newcomers who don't even have original black outfits with which they dress up for the occasion.

Emo is not a genre but a brand.

For the stuff they play and the style with which they do it, in another solar system, Mammoth Volume would be a grand, esteemed, and famous band constantly on tour.

But instead, hell no.
