Review : CD

A very interesting and promising debut album of Oakland’s best kept instrumental secret duo Pegataur, that offers not only the typical doom and stoner stereotype. Pegatuar, which is Aaron Levin (drums) and Eric Murray (guitars), are cooking their own heavy riff rock soup with more influences from different styles. This album offers very power driven songs and they produce a sound throughout that is raw, heavy and mean. Although their songs are generally rather short, they add a lot of  ideas that less creative bands would fill a whole album with. There isn’t a bad song on the cd, but the standouts include the rapid "Divine young horse” which reminds me of earlier work of Tygers of Pan Tang without the twin guitarwork, NWOBHM kings  who released two fantastic albums in the early eighties, "Lesser bow of the herd’s man" a grippin’ tune with imaginative drum work and Karma To Burn’s influence is not too far away on “Lord Salomon’s eyes” and “The weeping quiver”.
Musically, the band, is pretty tight and adventurous. They’ve done something pretty original, and therefore it’s worth a spin.

85/100
