Notes:

Ah, "Occult Rock". The most oversaturated strand of
the already dripping sponge of Doom, featuring some
of the most generic, over-promoted bands in recent
history. Chuck in a 'Master Of Reality' logo font
some boobies and a pentagram on the cover, and I
wasn't overly enthused going into Spiritual Relics
(Soulseller), Bloody Hammers' second LP

But 2 minutes into the driving, fuzzy, happy-doom of
'What's Haunting You?' and its COC meets Type O
Negative rock and I was smiling. By the end of the
acoustic, downbeat melancholia of closer 'Science
Fiction' I was grinning and nodding. Here is a band
capable of producing that oh-so lost art of SONGS!
Not for Bloody Hammers the 8 minute, 3 riff
borefest, or the 'Blood On Satan's Claw' twangy
kitschness of their contemporaries. No, Spiritual
Relics is good, simple Occult Fuzz with more than a
touch of Desert about it, drawing as much on Fu
Manchu as Hammer Horror. The clever touches of
Devillia s organ (now, now) change the stoner ethic
and add a twist to the cocktail, for example
enhancing the Trouble-esque 'Flesh Of The Lotus'
with a B-movie soundtrack feel. Meanwhile Anders
Manga's strong, clear vocals carry choruses such as
the excellent 'The Source', which reminds of Hammers
Of Misfortune's masterpiece The Grain, providing
catchiness without descending into overt poppiness

Not every track is a killer, 'Shiver' and 'Path Of
Sorrows' pass by in mid-paced stupor, but when the
fuzzed out anthem 'Night Of The Long Knives', the
creepy 'The Transit Begins' or the Southern Gothic
Type O-Kyuss stomp of 'At The Well of Nazareth' do
their thing so well, it's easy to see Bloody Hammers
rising above the Occult Rock mire to establish
themselves as a genuine, successful rock band. And
really, there s nothing wrong with having boobies
and a pentagram on an album cover
