STONE LOTUS - Self-Titled EP


Just found this today on bandcamp, released by Jon Davis (of Conan and Skyhammer Studios)'s Black Bow Records page. Apparently I'm late to the party yet again as this six-song EP was originally released by the band on their own page in early October. Either way, it rips. Some good riffs and moments of deep southern groove are overlaid atop a sludgy foundation, not entirely unlike bands like Diesel King.

JUST THE FACTS (according to the band, taken from their facebook page):
