Kroh – Altars (2016)

February 16, 2023

Altars is the Kroh comeback record, released a few years after the original self-titled. This time, the band have a new vocalist in tow, in the form of Oliwia, giving a more occult rock feel than the original vocalist , who brought a more Goatsnake / Kyuss level of vibe to proceedings.

The production is great and Oliwia is a brilliant addition, but the stand out element here has to be Mick Kenny’s (sp) crunching guitar tone, which stands unique even in today’s saturated market of HM-2 worship. Its like, instantly, as soon as the guitar rings out, you know its the dude from Fukpig.
