Expert songwriting by modern veterans of the scene, Sweden's Goatess take the traditional doom metal foundations of St Vitus, Trouble and early Cathedral out to the desert and mould it into a set of arid, hypnotic stoner grooves. Bringing to mind modern classics of desert rock like the catchier moments of Kyuss's 'Sky Valley' and Corrosion Of Conformity's 'Blind' album, 'Blood And Wine' is a thirst quenching refreshment in a parched dust bowl. Limited to 350 copies on gold vinyl.
