If you check out Glow�s excellent Gone, but Never Forgotten and dismiss it as sounding like Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, or any other down-tuned heavy act that goes well with bong hits and beer, that�s your loss. Because past whatever similarities there are with, well, who the fuck cares, is some thoroughly awesome doom metal, straight from the �70s.

Glow does have considerable distorted crunch but they don�t let that get in the way of a good groove. Even the slower songs, like opener �Stone Circle� and the Hammond-infused, funeral dirge-jam �Seasons,� Glow makes music that makes you move. You�d have to be pretty jaded not to dig those songs. What also works for Glow is the singer. Ralph has a clean, powerful voice that meshes well with the music, especially when he�s wailing out those drawn out high notes. It gives the band a sound not too dissimilar from the likes of Las Cruces or Spiritu. Glow�s Gone, but Never Forgotten points out that the greats of the past never fade away when there�s a new generation to carry the flame.
