Black vinyl with printed innersleeve
Darkwalker from Los Angeles has released their debut album The Wastelands and they describe themselves as a sun burnt, Gibson slingin stoner rock/grungy/doom band. The band mixes 70s hard rock with a modern heavy, desert rock sound, with alt/grunge grooves. The lyrics is based on The Dark Tower of Stephen King’s series who himself chose the setting for his books after seeing the classic Sergio Leone film The Good, The Bad and The Ugly; wanting to portray a sense of quest against a majestic western backdrop. So if you want an album that is a crash course in Sabbath fandom with lyrics culled from Stephen King then this is for you. To quote Stephen King once more he said of The Dark Tower; More than anything else, I wanted to tell a tale of wonder. In my opinion, Darkwalker have certainly achieved that with this record and in some style.
