Desert Kingdom are a band from Australia that plays a mixture of stoner, sludge, and doom metal and this is a review of their self titled 2017 album which will be released in February by Black Bow Records.
A very hard and heavy stoner rock sound starts off the album along with some 70's style metal vocals a few seconds later while also having their aggressive moments and the music starts adding more doom and sludge into the heaviness side of the music and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very retro rock/classic metal style and synths are added onto one of the tracks along with a brief use of spoken word parts and the growls and screams add in a touch of death metal and blast beats can also be heard briefly while the music sticks to mostly a slow or mid paced direction.
Desert Kingdom plays a musical style that takes stoner rock, doom, sludge and groove metal and mixes them together with a touch of death metal to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover drinking and real life themes.
In my opinion Desert Kingdom are a very great sounding mixture of stoner and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "You'll Burn" "7 Years" and "Whiskey". 8 out of 10.
