Ike’s Wasted World - Tres Lobos - Reviewed By Metal Digest ! Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2023/08/14/ikes-wasted-world-tres-lobos/

Spearheaded by New York veteran Eric Joseph ‘Ike’ Baestlein, Ike’s Wasted World delivers Rock ‘n’ Roll on their terms. With a thud and a thump and a shake of the rump, this album makes no pretenses and no attempt at finesse, just good old grit and grime like Mama used to make.

With sweet poetry like “I wish that I was oppressed. So, stick your noose on my neck.” and “Eat me alive. I’m a piece of meat,” plus a few choice NSFW phrases, Mr. Baestlein’s lyrics are more suited for a Nugent album than that of Neil Peart. But with a name like Wasted World, were you really expecting much else?

Spanning subjects like fatherly advice of seizing the day (“Lost Time”) to the history of the Lacota Indians (“Heart of Everything”), ‘Tres Lobos’ is loud, dirty, and great fun. Two points: 1. Baestin’s lyrics are miles beyond Nugent’s (sorry, Uncle T), and 2. There are many lyrics here that aren’t half bad at all. I’ll let you search them out. It’s worth the effort and a helluva good ride along the way.

‘Tres Lobos’ probably isn’t for everyone, and I’m sure the guys couldn’t care less. This is no frills Hard Rock that you want and deserve. Metal Digest

Hailing from Upstate New York, Ike's Wasted World draws influences from Metal, Garage Rock, Doom Metal & 70s Metal. Founded in 2018, ex-Lost Breed Guitarist Eric "Ike" Baestlein combined with Bassist Chris Adamson & Drummer Sean Teeter to create a power trio performing throughout the East Coast. Following the release of 2020's "Death is Certain,Life is Not" EP, the group linked with the Godfather of Doom Metal, WINO (Obsessed,Saint Vitus) for a track on their latest album "Tres Lobos".
