Yeti On Horseback are a band from London, Ontario, Canada that plays a psychedelic and stoner form of sludge/doom metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "The Great Dying" which will be released in September by Medusa Crush Recordings.
Avant garde sound effects start off the album along with some clean guitars a few seconds later and after a minute the music starts going into a heavier direction along with some sludge style screams while the riffs bring in the heaviness of doom metal along with some melodic riffing and most of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are very dark and melodic sounding while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals also bring in growls at times along with a touch of post hardcore and most of the tracks are very long and epic in length while some songs also bring in a small amount of whispers and clean playing also makes a return in certain sections of the recording and they also bring in a small amount of samples from David Lynch's films and all of the songs stick to a very slow musical direction and one track brings in a brief use of female vocals.
Yeti On Horseback plays a style of doom metal that is very heavy and mixes it with a great amount of stoner and sludge elements along with a touch of psychedelia to create a style of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and violent themes.
In my opinion Yeti On Horseback are a very great sounding mixture of stoner, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Viking Mushroom Tae" and "Elephant Man". 8 out of 10.
