Sigiriya
Return to Earth

THE REVIEW

An ancient palace on a rocky hill, imposing and towering in sunny Sri Lanka, with this name four-fifths of Acrimony have come back to life.

Disappeared into thin air after the sensational "Tumuli Shroomaroom," our specialists of the lysergic and pachydermic riff thought that stoner is a good and right thing and have resumed practicing its cult. Tribute is always owed to all the magical plants that populate creation. After all, if something grows spontaneously in nature, why should it ever be harmful?

The mysterious new name evokes contact with the deep roots of the Earth, and the music goes in the same direction, creating scenarios dominated by vast tobacco plantations (and not only...) where the beneficial power of the Sun's rays never abandons us. The sound is thus rocky and deep and loses part of the psychedelic component that characterized the old incarnation of the group. The approach is more focused on the classic song form, leaving aside the metaphysical trips, which still occasionally return, as in the final "Deathrip to Eryri," favoring choruses to happily sing in the shower, especially "Robot Funeral."

The carefree spirit is always the same, the joyfully stoned state as well.
