Synopsis

Product Description

Naam manifests a signature brand of super-sonic and ultimately mesmerizing heavy psychedelia. Trance-like and punishing at times, this trio of psychonauts (John Bundy-bs, vox; Ryan Lugar gtr, vox; Eli Pizzuto drms) mold elements of classic psychedelia and prog with modern elements of jam-heavy bliss and apocalyptic amplitude. Naam's self-titled debut is more so an aural-intoxicating odyssey than an album. In its increasingly dark and sinister progression, the album depicts an unholy spiritual journey in the search for a higher plane of enlightenment. RIYL: Deep Purple, Hawkwind, Sleep, Floyd.

CD Reviews

Opened a transdimensional portal in my face.

James A. Gordon IV | LA, CA | 04/03/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First, I purchased this album based on approximately one song I'd heard online. It does not disappoint. The sound is a mixture of Om, Electric Wizard, and at times I hear vocals that remind me of 80's Hardcore Punk. I was happy with the album and had it on repeat for about a week non-stop, but then I got a chance to see them play live last night at Spaceland and they blew my mind.

All in all - this album is great, they play great live. If you're into psychedelic stoner rock/Doom metal, you will love Naam.

Support this artist and buy this album. More importantly, see them live if you ever get a chance."

Brilliant but my copy is faulty

"Brooklyn stoner-rock sounds like a bit of an oxymoron at first however never fear it was alive and well; I know I shouldn't judge a record by its cover but one look at it sealed the deal for me. The fact it immediately launches into a 16 minute spacey sludge-rock opus complete with whacked out sitars and a sabbath-esque mantra loop also helps. A lot.

However the biggest downer is my copy of the vinyl is suffering from a nasty pressing fault on sides A,B and C."
