THE BEAST

Dopelord sound exactly how you’d expect a band called Dopelord to sound, and while the Polish band doesn’t exactly reinvent the bong, their latest album is a masterclass in execution. Beyond the universal stoner doom reference point of Black Sabbath (who certainly loom large here), fans of Church of Misery and Electric Wizard will also find a lot to love in the band’s riffs-on-riffs-on-riffs epics. Children of the Haze wouldn’t work if Dopelord were only capable of plodding heaviness, though. These songs really groove and swing, and that’s a testament to the band’s musical chemistry. The vicious “Scum Priest” and the hazy title track in particular reveal Dopelord as lockstep musical soulmates who bring out the best in one another. - pulled from https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/02/01/the-best-metal-on-bandcamp-january-2017/
