Of course. There is no substitute for looking into the bands’ background and lyrics for ourselves. I just really appreciate that the chance of falling in love with the music of truly awful people is far less likely here.
Just one reason Metal Storm is so incredibly important and useful for me, is the fact that when I discover a band here, I at least know the music itself isn’t an expression of nazism or some other evil ideology.
We’ve all probably paid for art made by horrible people. There is no way to be aware of every single band’s exact ideology, let alone the beliefs the individual members. Just one reason why… tbc

Could it beat Kyuss? Because their s/t is probably the stoner album I use to measure the quality of other stoner albums.
Huh... I still haven't heard the whole album.
Yeah, that and Electric Wizard's 'Witchcult Today' are the ones it has to stand up against in my head. Hard to say for sure but it's at least as good as them for me.
Sky Valley is the s/t one The band have insisted that it's self titled.
Oh like that
Anyway this is definitely a good album. Not so sure if I would rank it so highly though, but I haven't heard it that much yet, just a few spins. So maybe I will have a different opinion a few more spins down the line
