IAM3663 tis is cloud's second release. after listening to their first i decided to purchase this one and just like the 3rd it doesn't disappoint! Favorite track: Desert Weed.

Master of Alchemy I was listening to the captivating song Unpolished on the debut EP wishing that it was longer than 2 minutes... thankfully, the track makes an encore here as Indeterminate and clocks in at more than 10 minutes... thank you! Vocals on Desert Weed (courtesy of Mephistofeles' Gabriel Ravera), otherwise the LP is instrumental as before. The stoner vibe gets better toward the end with Otherworldly. Favorite track: Indeterminate.

bearded1 I instantly connected with this music. It sounds fantastic. Thanks for creating this and putting it out there for the world. Favorite track: Relapse.

Red suns rises out of thick dark smoke Close my eyes and feel the sky above Dust is ripping off my flesh n' bones Sunlight dries away my soul and hopes Yeah, sunlight dries away Yeah, left alive with just the wish of die. Layin' face-down on my knees Burnin' low I hear they are calling me Left alive with just the wish of die Smoke' my last blunt till I hit the ground Yeah, left alive with just the wish of die Burnin' low till I hit the ground. Burnin' low as l just hit the ground Smoke' my last blunt till I hit the ground Burnin' low as l just hit the ground Smoke' my last blunt till I hit the ground Yeah, Left alive with just the wish of die Left alive with just the wish of die

about

Indeterminate opens with thunder and rain and resonant guitar. It's a reworking of 'Unpolished' from their incredible first EP and what a rework it is. The pitter patter of rain seems to slowly develop into drum before the heavyness smacks you in the face. But this isn't ur, it generates speed with an awesome riff making it impossible not to head bang like a lunatic. Stunningly fulfilling in heavyness, incredible ambience throughout and lovely blues laden solos, this is living up to everything I hoped it would be.

Relapse fades in, slow and heavy with before breaking into a chugging wall of distortion and hangover like fuzziness with a satisfying hint of groove make the track more and more listenable as it develops.

Desert Weed was a make or break moment for me. A track with lyrical content, provided by Gabriel Ravera of Mephistofeles. I love that Cloud, up till now, produced great instrumental music so was dubious about this. Any doubt was soon cast aside when hearing the Ozzy style tone of Ravera complemented by a well written track. Cloud are clearly not limited in their writing ability and Ravera puts in a performance that has made his band the next in my search list. The instrumental interlude comes in and transports me back to early Sabbath, before Ravera sees us out with his last contribution.

Otherworldly takes is back home to instrumental land, with a track that shows some development from the original EP with pleasing licks and touches which add an understated element to the track.

Yggdrasil, the last track, opens with bluesy, groovy intent which continues to a breakdown of epic proportions. It eventually builds its way back, layer by layer, to being the heavy blues groove that controls your ears so hypnotically at the beginning. It sees us out by becoming bludgeoningly slow and heavy, with some great drumming fills.

Conclusion
Another great effort from Cloud and if instrumental doom is your thing then this album is a must. Its shows a steady progression the self titled EP in terms of song writing and a nice, and more importantly not out of place, surprise with the vocal track. Another success for Cloud.

These guys are, in my opinion, one of the greatest stoner/sludge band that have popped up in recent years. Sure, you have the "old gods" like Sleep, Electric Wizard, and Kyuss but Spaceslug brings something new to the table. They're fresh, and it seems like they've got no thought of stopping anytime soon.
