Sonny92 I've been a fan of the Japanese stoner metal duo since their debut ep which saw light of day in 2017. They've come a fair way since those early days and have grown in confidence, with their sludgy stoner metal taking on a certain punkish swagger as they raise two fingers to all the naysayers. There are some killer cuts here, the opening riff to the single Abyss Woods is a real doozy for example and Yuko's guitar work in general is a treat as she fires off riffs and solos with equal abandon. Favorite track: Abyss Woods.

about

The self-proclaimed ‘Doom witch duo from Osaka’ are set to drop their third
album. ‘In A Bizarre Dream’ ups the ante considerably, to let rip and define what Blacklab are about. The combined talents of Jun Morino on production and Wayne Adams (Big Lad, Green Lung, Pet Brick, John, Cold In Berlin) on the mix have conspired to produce a towering beast of a record. A real step forward for the ‘Doom Witch Duo ’.
The drums have a humungous ‘Fugazi’ like welly, and the guitars are a boiling maelstrom of fuzz dense riffola and warped psychedelics, with added synth. Yuko’s throat shredding snarls are as mean as a pissed off Satan, and melodious, often within the same song.This is doom meets hardcore punk, hooky melodies, and killer riffs, all cranked up to the max.Plus there's a real surprise in there with Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab contributing lead vocals on one track.
Japan has always had a special take on ‘noise’ and ‘heavy’ and with ‘In A Bizarre
Dream’ Blacklab add their own spin to that tradition.
