Only Torche and their “Grenade Chord” guitar style could make this song sound happy and just as infectious as the original. Grohl admitted on Howard Stern’s Show he ripped off a famous disco drummer’s style on the entire Nevermind album. Torche pulls that off, too, whilst adding a twist on the fills. Chase your lung collapsing bong rips by shotgunning a fifth of Jack through the barrel of a 12 gauge and head bang your skullet until that wretched fifth wheel you call home implodes.

Heroin addiction has never sounded better. Slam a gram into your neck and put this on repeat for 8 hours. If you’d prefer, purchase some crystal methamphetamine from your local madman chemist and shoot an 8-ball into your vein. As the pristine high hits you like the anticipation of Christmas Morning when you were a kid, with a single tear running down your face, put on a pair of high quality headphones and let the euphoria and music destroy your soul.

Since the first time I heard “Heroin Swirls” I was hooked. Opium Lord creates some of the heaviest, ugliest, but, somehow, catchiest riffs you’ll ever hear. Prologue-The Healer, Eye of Earth, Vore, and now Sherpa are all must listens. One of the few bands in my weekly rotation. Their music breathes and shudders mixed with virulent vocals. Deceptively technical. Deceptively addicting. Any new music of their’s is a cause for celebration.

Harbingers of heaving despair and drug addiction. Heavy. Like my hand.
