“Hard guitar rock, garnished with aggressive, dark and melancholic elements flows through songs that often merge into one another with a session character and blues rock references.”

“The Subtle And The Dense is one of those records that you have to get involved with, but which rewards all your effort and interest twice or threefold.”

“the most authentic stoner blues from Vienna since there has been authentic stoner blues from Vienna. With almost breakneck enthusiasm, the band jams and fires their way through seven tracks that reveal everything there is to reveal.”

“As philosophical as the thematic approaches of this album are, the diversity of the music seems appropriate. Between desert sand and whiskey bar, the album develops a fundamentally life-affirming spirit.”

“These shamanic songs advance, becoming richer with greater forcefulness and perfectly structured harmonies to appear to the listener as a true delight for the ears.”

“‘The Subtle And The Dense’ starts with crashing guitar hooks and leads to dreamy melodies – a range that sometimes brings to mind KYUSS, then DANZIG or BLACK SABBATH.”The production is based on a live recording, played in over the course of a weekend, using a combination of restored vintage tube mixers and compressors as well as contemporary digital recording technology. Further recording sessions followed, rounding out the tracks with overdubbing layers of instrumental tracks and eventually all the vocals.
