Goatsnake - Flower of Disease (2005)

This album will shut some mouths up. While some of us could have thought that the band would never do any good, Goatsnake get serious and seem to decide what direction are they going to take. They pick up the stoner density and the great vocals from Pete Stahl, and they mix it together with even more Sabbathian riffs, if possible. But the harmonica is the THING. They bring it on, and damn it fits so well! You only have to listen to El Coyote, and it will blow your mind. Well, in fact, I consider it the best song in the whole album. 


Nowadays, with the unavoidable presence of Kyuss' bassist, Scott Reeder and Cave In's drummer we can only hope everything will go even better.

Goatsnake - Vol. I (1999)

When The Obsessed happened to split, not eveything was lost. Wino made his moves and Guy Pinhas (bass) and Greg anderson (drums) did not wait either. They both started Goatsnake, together with Greg Anderson and Pete Stahl. Well, as you will imagine, nothing bad could have ever come out of this union. Though this debut is quite dirty and does not point at any concrete direction, the rage is still there as well as the good ol' Sabs' shadow, always lurking around -in this case the voice will eventually remind you of Ozzy's. There are really good songs, like 'Innocent' or 'Lord of los feliz', which can remind you of... any of the previous bands these guys have been in (obvious): Thorr's Hammer, Earthlings... You name it. We can never escape our past. I personally suggest you to listen closely to 'IV', the riff just makes it.

And despite everything else, look at the front cover... I mean, you don't need to say anything else.
