(Qumran and No Dust Records)
The sophomore release from the Doom Metal juggernaut known as Spillage, comes alive in the form of, 'Blood Of Angel'. Produced by Trouble guitarist Bruce Franklin and mixed by The Skull guitarist Lothar Keller, is a masterclass in the art of the almighty "Heavy Riff". The band is comprised of, Elvin Rodriguez on vocals, Tony Spillman on guitars, Nick Bozidarevic on guitars, Billy McGuffey on bass,
Chris Martins on drums and Paul Rau on keyboards. The metallic mayhem served up pulsates with a conviction that cannot be faked. Musically powerful and filled with bold lyrics and smoldering twin-lead metal riffs galore! reminding me of something one would hear from Candlemass or Black Sabbath. From start to finish the band does not hold back nothing back as they dish out doom laden riffs that go for the throat! As is evident on tracks like, the title track, "Living In Hell", Rough Grooved Surface" , "Eyes Of A Snake" and "Voice Of Reason", both tracks clocking in just over six minutes. The band also serves up a killer rendition of Sabbath's "Dirty Woman". The bottom line is, what we have here is heaping spoonful of well written doom infused heavy metal served up on a plate of fat Mesa Boogie amps. These tunes absolutely groove and the vibe created here is something special. If you love bands like Black Sabbath or Trouble (what metalhead wouldn't?), you'll love what Spillage bring to the table. The bottom line here is, 'Blood Of Angels' is a incredible album that is a beast and one that begs to played at maximum volume. - Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
