Description/Reviews
Opening track Symphony Of Swag comes across like Elder who they have coincidentally toured with. The use of prog rock in stoner/doom doesn’t always set my world on fire, but Gaffa Ghandi do a pretty good job of it nonetheless.
War On Fire continues the prog with some added chunky riffage that reminds me of Master Of Puppets era Metallica. It’s also the first of 2 songs to feature some nice Mellotron courtesy of Torsten Lang (who also mixed and mastered the album), this helps to add some diversity to the track. Next up is the over 9-minute Ancient Dominator and the second longest track on the record. To my ears there is a slight 70’s intonation here, with touches of fellow countrymen the Scorpions when Uli John Roth was in the band, hence why the riff is so damn good. More Mellotron is employed which adds to the 70s vibes of the track.
