Baltimore�s Vincent Black Shadow seems intent on ignoring anything past 1979. Their self-titled debut is ten songs of Stooges-like rock and Blue Cheer-like heavy, and it sounds like a long-lost relic from a couple of decades ago. First off, the production is warm and tastefully low-fi. Secondly, the songs themselves are pretty fucking righteous. The mixture of Iggy Pop and heavy fuzz make for some solid psychedelic garage rock. At times, it�s thick and grooving enough to earn a nod from the Pentagram doom camp, but overall, it�s a Motor City freakout.

The debut album from Baltimore heavy psych assault squad Vincent Black Shadow. A stoned-out and grinding mix of Sabbathian thunder, swirling psychedelics, and grit-fueled, energetic vocals. For fans of Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Boris, Monster Magnet, Hawkwind and Bongwater.
