Leather Lung are a band from Boston, Massachusetts that plays a mixture of sludge, stoner and doom metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Lonesome On'ry And Evil" which will be released in August by Magnetic Eye Records.
Distorted drones start off the album before going into more of a hard and heavy musical direction. Vocals are mostly sludge style screams while the riffs are more rooted in southern and stoner metal along with some back up shouting vocals also being used at times and the slow riffs also add in the heaviness of doom metal.
All of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them while the solos and leads bring in more of a 70's rock/metal style. The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with some psychedelic elements also being utilized at times and one track also adds in a brief use of spoken word samples as well as introducing blues rock influences onto the recording, clean vocals can also be heard briefly and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Leather Lung plays a musical style that takes stoner, sludge and doom metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover satanism, life, death and drug themes.
In my opinion Leather Lung 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 t his band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Barbed Wire" "Ain't Feeling No Pain" and "Skeleton Key". 8 out of 10.
