Dodgy name, but this is a prime example of smoking '70s prog-psych rock. Casting dark shadows, although nowhere near as ominous as Sabbath, this is Deep Purple laced with a little gloom. Not fair to call it metal let alone doom, this is retro rock 'n' roll of many shifts, favourite cut being the organ driven 'Tough Nuts', like a slightly watered down Sabbath. Catchy hooks abound, vocal attack of laid back quality, bubbling bass, and swirling solo's ('Sunflight'). Eight tracks on offer that will please anyone still existing in Medieval Britain, jigging with flute in hand around a crackling outdoor fire, all the while stepping occasionally into tame '60s psych.
6/10
