I'm beginning to totally dig this genre; before Freebird Records started sending me their releases Stoner was "Queens Of The Stone Age" for me and that was it, I'm glad now I actually know really good bands playing Stoner incredibly well, for example Wallrus.

The Wind Blows? it's one of the most powerful debuts I've heard since Withered released Memento Mori but that's another story; I really liked this album in almost every way possible, the first and most important is the marvelous execution, these Dutch guys really know what they are doing, they take their weapons and then blast any kind of shooting matter into your brain over and over again, in the end you'll be feeling numb and a little dizzy, that's fucking great if you ask me. Another amazing thing is the overall instrumentation, Stoner/Groove played with a Harmonica? That's really awesome indeed, and then you can hear the Ice-L-Horns (a brass ensemble with Marion Van Kapel, Gert Van Kapel, etc.) playing marvelously.
