OUTBACK ~ Hymn of Jupiter (2023)


 Born from the coastal landscapes of Saxon England lumbers a stoner doom heavyweight burdened with colossal riffs of seismic proportions.

I've only recently discovered this exceptional release called Hymn Of Jupiter by Outback and was literally shocked to see that their Bandcamp Page is virtually devoid of  any presence of the usual suspects of the stoner doom community, how can it be that a titan such as this could pass us all by unnoticed.

The album consists of four lengthy songs with a nod toward their doom majesties Electric Wizard but there is also the weedian groove of the Japanese stoner doom scene particularly with the second track 'The Sorcerer' with it's mesmerising but acid flecked solo and the use of psychedelic guitar interludes that locks the tracks of Hymn Of Jupiter into a seamless, unstoppable, eruption of magmic morass.
