Weed Priest – Weed Priest

Weed Priest – Weed Priest

Self released – 2013

Rock, Metal, Doom, Sludge

Rated: ****

Something seems to be a brooding down in Galway Ireland. For after the amazing Hell Comes Home releases and the excellent Harvester; there’s also Weed Priest. A doom trio in every sense of the word. A slow march turning into an even slower procession with a definite occult and august taste. Music for dark castellated abbeys filled with strange incense and drowsy waving candles. The shadows cast are highly narcotic, hypnotizing and asphyxiating. Their 2011 demo already exacted and demanded total submission. Their official self-titled debut album has you selling of your assets and entering their cult. Bow down before these priests and worship the open and clean drums. Pay reverence to the grandiose guitar and adore the roaring chants of your master. Adore their sermon and follow their footstep towards your inevitable release…

Weed Priest – Demo
Self released – 2011
Stoner, Sludge, Doom, Occult, Metal
Rated: ****

From the muddy and foggy banks of Galway, Ireland hails a three-piece formation, which has been invoked as Weed Priest. And together they have been slaving on their songs since the end of 2008. And only know have they deemed the world worthy enough to be apart of their mystical experience. A three-track demo is released upon us souls and they still have another eight songs up their sleeves as well. The official demo part makes you part of their occult rituals and preachings. It initiates a ghostly and hypnotic sermon that is both low down, fuzzed out and low-fi. With relentless grinding they march forth and with military precision the drums and bass deliver the slow advance; leaving the guitar to build cathedrals. Epic houses of worship! And with complementary service of exorcism offered by the members should anyone become possessed by a demon; who can pass up an opportunity to see Weed Priest perform their ceremony…
