Heavy sludge metal a la Nightstick, Electric Wizard, Sleep, EyeHateGod and In the Company of Serpents from this NY trio on this 6-song outing, as the majority of the music on We Are Here lies buried under a powerful onslaught of gritty vocals and a treacherous stomp of beats. From the opener of “Amnesia” through “Colombus” and “Seven” the band seems to create an honest and raw take on. I do have a problem with the vocals at times; while this is not a stoner effort, it can be a bit groovy at times with a more brutal and more primal edge than your average stonerband.
We Are Here is a good CD, although not a CD I would put on daily, but something I might crank to release some frustration every once in a while. The only downside would be a lack of variety within the album's six tracks. Nothing fast-tempo here. But with shit this brutal, who needs it?
