Screaming Females - Doom 84



The name is definitely apt. Channeling the spirit of doom metal from 1984, this what normally is a chaotic alternative rock band, shows their blues and metal influence. The vocals oozes Ozzy Osbourne's misery when he really was miserable, covered with some excellent riffing and leads. The beginning just hints the Iommi influence but then it explodes half way through with excellent riffing that reminds you of War Pigs. Though purist may complain of the overt Alternative Rock lines on the track but that's the idea, alternative rock with a sprinkle of Sabbathian flavor. Now only more alternative rock is heavy metal or doom metal influenced. This sounds better than so many pseudo, trying too hard doom bands. I'm glad to see this track is pretty new, seeing how it was only released in 2013.

*Plus points for having a female vocalist trying to do an Ozzy impression.
