This will be the shortest review I ever did… Owl mastermind Kolf created a true masterpiece. Epic, deep, and brutally honest. “Orion Fenix” peels your skin off and overcomes with emotions that truly touch the core. This is true melodic Doom magic. Unbelievably thick and smooth at the same time. I bow down!

Corrosion Of Conformity are back! On their current release “No Cross No Crown”, which is finally fronted by Pepper Keenan again, the band delivers high-quality, bluesy Stoner Metal tunes after their fans’ fancy. Fourteen tracks without any fillers show the quartet’s excellent shape. Extended solos, melodies that make you bow down and gut-punching grooves combined with Pepper’s voice = 52 minutes of pure magic and drive. As usual, Corrosion Of Conformity are a band that stands for quality, ideas and uncompromising honesty.
