There's rock and then there's RAWK! and after listening to Year Long Disaster's new album, Black Magic; All Mysteries Revealed, it's pretty obvious where this band belongs. This is a power trio that cranks up the amps to eleven, fires up a nuclear reactor and crushes everything in it's path.
Black Magic; All Mysteries Revealed is like the greatest album blasted back from the early 70's that has ever been created. This is a band and an album that sounds like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple all set up a commune in a field somewhere, built a ranch made up of Marshall amp's and just started to jam and have yet to stop. Black Magic; All Mysteries Revealed is fueled by a power chord frenzy that's hotter than Hades and sounds as if the bowels of the Netherworld have been blow to smithereens. Year Long Disaster has more power in their pinkies than most utility companies can generate and each of the songs on Black Magic; All Mysteries Revealed sound as if they're rocket propelled grenades headed toward your skull.
This is a band that refuses to go anywhere quietly and whether it's the strangely titled, "Foggy Bottom," or the metal groove of, "Black Magic," Year Long Disaster will make you pay attention. Black Magic; All Mysteries Revealed is truly a great record that had me reaching for my 70's metal records just to make sure that none of these guys were not related to Richie Blackmore, Ozzy, or Tony Iommi. They actually are not, so it's even more amazing that the three dudes who make up Year Long Disaster channel the power of all those bands into one focused killer of group.
Putting the RAWK! back into rock and roll, Year Long Disaster have resurrected the power chord in ways not heard in ages. This is a group determined to make sure you and your stereo succumbs to the sheer volume and power of Black Magic; All Mysteries Revealed and if you were wise you would bow to the new masters of metal or face the consequences.
