Description/Reviews: 

The opening number of the album, Haemoglobin, begins with a delicate acoustic instrumental introduction that reminds me, of all things, of early Queen. That’s not a bad thing because I love early Queen, but I am reminded of Brian May’s dulcet tones for the first minute or so, before the piece turns into a strange hybrid reminiscent of early King Crimson and later Tool, through a filter of doom. Then some really nifty bass, after which we can introduce some classic stoner, a la Kyuss, yet remaining Crimsonesque all the while. Confused, yet? Well just wait a little, because the band are about to throw some post-rock in the mix too. This is a glorious combobulation – and I don’t know that there is such a word, but there should be, and The Bloody Mallard should be the definition as they manage to bring together something cohesive out of what appears to be a state of confusion and disarray.
