Heavy Blues, by Malkasian

Heavy Blues

by Malkasian

supported by

Mouth of Gravel Riffs soaked to the marrow with greasy swamp water and American grit.

The Macabre was a damned good album - one of my favorite of that particular flavor in 2023 in fact - however Sean and the boys have managed to distill their unique take on heavy blues down into a humid, boggy concoction worthy of AOTY contention.

Great band, awesome dudes. Heavy Blues is some of the best money I’ve spent on Bandcamp in months. Bravo!

about

FFO - Queens of the Stone Age, Pride and Glory, Clutch

“Heavy Blues” is the feeling. The genre is a second order issue.

Heavy
1. of great weight; difficult to lift or move
2. of great density; thick or substantial

Burdensome

“Heavy Blues” is more despondent and apathetic. Yearning to feel something when you haven’t been able to feel at all.

This record attempts to honor the essence of the blues while embracing grit, chaos, and indifference to conventions like the heavy alternative scene. It was made because it had to be, “just because….” Tropes about “being born under the blood red moon” and other cliches won’t cut it. The words and feelings are for here and now.

Its heavy influenced blues.

The thought with “Heavy Blues” is blues influenced by heavy alternative rock. Emo blues…even if only by intention, not aesthetic. This blues is more overtly dark, lamenting, melancholy, insouciant, frustrated and affected.
