Having formed in 2011, Sweden’s Topplock have really transformed their sound from their Witchcraft inspired debut ep. Through the singles Tor and the wonderfully titled Boogie Till You Barf, Topplock were essentially a Blues Rock band. For this, their debut album, there’s a new metallic edge to their sound. I don’t know if they had a bigger recording budget or if they’ve just gelled more as a band, but this is definitely the rocket fuelled version of Topplock. Singer Magnus Nilsson occasionally veers into Ozzy territory, especially on the title track, which kicks off the album in mighty fine style and sets the tone for the new rockier Topplock. Older fans of the band need not fear the eradication of their older sound though, it’s still here, it’s just a bit louder than before. Topplock delivers power and dynamic on the debut album Overlord. Killer stoner proto metal record in the vein of Horisont, Graveyard and Demon Head.
