Weedeater are a band from Wilmington, North Carolina that plays I style that i would describe as being stoner/sluge/doom metal and this is a review of their 2011 album "Jason The Dragon" which will be released by Southern Lord Records.
Drums are mostly slow to midpaced drumming with no fast playing or blast beats, while the bass playing sounds very heavy and powerful with some evil sounding stoner/doom metal riffs, as for the piano that is used on the least song, it has an avant garde feel to it.
Rhythm guitars are mostly slow to midpaced stoner/doom metal riffs that utilize alot of distortion that have a 70's rock feel to them and there are little to no lead guitars or solos present on this recording, as for the slide guitars when they are utilized they have an avant garde as well as a country music feel to them.
Vocals are all high pitched sludge/doom metal screams, while the lyrics deal with fantasy, smoking weed, getting high and drinking, as for the production it sounds very heavy and professional sounding.
In my opinion this is a good album from Weedeater and if you where a fan of their previous albums, you will not be dissapointed. RECEMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Great Unfurling" "Turkey Warlock" and "Jason The Dragon". RECEMMONDED BUY.
