Guzzlemug biography
GUZZLEMUG is a progressive rock band from Minneapolis formed in 2006. The band is compromised of bassist Tom KELLY, guitarist Shane PRENDIVILLE and Charlie WERBER on drums. Before even releasing their debut album, GUZZLEMUG has toured around the midwest for four years with names like RUINS, DON CABALLERO, CHEER-ACCIDENT and other great bands, with their debut 'Away With The Wind And Noise' getting released in 2010. Since then the group had created more than a couple of albums which they released on their own record label, all of them very experimental and psychedelic. Besides very much working in soundscapes and improvisation, GUZZLEMUG can also be recommended to fans of progressive metal.

— First review of this album —

Going from insultingly simplistic to exhaustingly complex, it is astonishing how this EP maintains one's attention. Expect heavy metal outbursts laced with and framed by psychedelic madness. Despite the repetitiveness of the second track, I find that this EP spiked with many melodic and rhythmic ideas.

"Flight" A rising, vivid wash of sound casts itself away as soon as it had come.

"Dust on My Tongue" A Tex-Mex stand-off plants the listener right in the middle of a Quentin Tarantino flick. The song doesn't change style until ten minutes in, when a mildly discordant riff and caustic metal vibe govern. Surprisingly creative bass and guitar riffs compete for dominance. Think about Yes imitating The Mars Volta but playing sludge metal instead.

"The Calm" Hushed voices and acoustic guitar massages the listener after the onslaught of the previous piece, and prepares them for the forthcoming storm.

"Io" Bright, metallic music, interspersed with a talented drum solo and acrid riffs create the finest piece of the foursome. There is a passage that sounds like it was lifted right from Yes' "Sound Chaser," yet it has an elevated fierceness.

Thanks to historian9 for the artist addition.
