Brainoil are a destructive three piece of southern-style sludge a la Weedeater, Buzzoven, Eyehategod, etc. and crusty hardcore roots.

This LP is so intense that only those with leather eardrums can survive it. Brainoil are maniacal riff merchants. The sound waves they create literally have a tangible and physical presence; you more than hear them, you feel them. Hell, you can almost taste and smell them. More driving and rapid (all things being relative) than most of their tar coated peers, Brainoil are likely to have a broader appeal than most bands of their breed. Only a fool would pass up this album. This is easily the best sludge album so far this year.
