Fumarole - Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes

 

The Australian stoner rock scene is blooming. There are so many great bands emerging from the land down under. It's no wonder that it makes women glow and men plunder. One of the latest (And greatest) bands to emerge from this morass is Fumarole. Their debut full length Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes is a rock and roll blast. Not only is it a wonderfully fun listen but it's a record that showcases diverse influences making for a dynamic offering that stands a head and shoulders above its peers. This is what stoner rock was meant to be about people! 

Now yes - Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes does lean into genre tropes. (What is it with stoner rock and valleys anyway?) That being said - tropes are kind of the point! The music is wonderfully executed, burly riffs define tracks like 'Mothership' and the cacophony of drums that kicks off 'Depth Dweller' really speaks to the bands ability to pace a record. One thing that really stands out to me here is the sense of space the band is willing to embrace. As a mere three piece they don't go for the wall of sound crush of their peers but instead allow the music a lot more space to breathe. This makes for a far more compelling listen that leaves listeners entranced. 

This is a masterful offering that I know for a fact has been years in the making. It's another victory for the always excellent Interstellar Smoke Records and points at a bright future for the band. They continually prove that their ideas are not played out but in fact only at the beginning of what can be done with them. There's a lot to love about this debut album and it's going to find a way to make you shake, rattle and roll whether you like it or not. Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes is a stunner, Fumarole have crafted a heavy trip for the ages.

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

  2. I'm here to testify about what DR. OYAGU did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 2 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Shayla Bosschart on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. OYAGU on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. OYAGU prepared and sent me Healing Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after two weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. OYAGU assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. OYAGU for help via email} oyaguherbalhome@gmail.com visit his website https://oyaguspellcaster.wixsite.com/oyaguherbalhome whatsapp him through his mobile} +2348101755322. , Thanks once again DR. OYAGU for making me a happy woman again.
