GOLIATHAN

The infamous rock outlaws Weedeater return with 'Goliathan,' their long-awaited new album. 'Goliathan' is the crossroad where true Southern rock/metal meets raw humor and old religion, and embodies the bands trademark shuffle and swagger rightly. Syrupy slow riffs are buoyed by canyon deep bass and some of the hardest-hitting drumming since Keith Moon. Full-on bruiser 'Cain Enabler,' 'Claw of the Sloth,' and the aptly-named 'Bully' demonstrate that 'Goliathan' is vintage Weedeater and the soon-to-be gold standard of Southern sludge metal.
