Synopsis

Album Description
The dread Necronomicon - The Book of Dead Names - whispered of throughout history and made popular by pulp horror author H.P. Lovecraft; filled with sonic "keys" that open gateways in between the spaces we know, where the mysterious Great Old Ones, with unpronounceable names like "Cthulhu", wait to walk the earth again; few know the book's secrets and fewer still can produce a copy. It is rumored, however, that a certain rock band out of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia have access to this, and other forbidden tomes - or at the very least, access to the internet.
 

CD Reviews

A Good Effort...
William A. Gibson | Austin, TX | 09/13/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"...but lackluster compared to their later CDs.



They obviously weren't able to sink too much money into the recording of the tracks on this CD because they recorded it when they were first starting off, so the sound isn't extremely "clean" but it's alright.



Anyway, this is a damn good effort for their first CD. They managed to make a unique (and successful) mixture of Stoner Rock and Punk that I've yet to see any other band do.



Standout tracks include "Jimmy the Squid" and "Diggin' Up The World (acoustic)"."
