Heavy Psych Sounds announce the re-release of HIGH REEPER‘s self-titled debut album this January 11th, which will include a brand new artwork and two bonus tracks. Their blazing cover of US doom legends Pentagram’s « Hurricane » is one of them, and you hear it exclusively now on The Obelisk!
« All of us love Pentagram, especially the early stuff, so we thought it would be cool if we did a track from that era. It’s an overlooked track but we all think it rocks.” says the band. « The band could’ve covered “Forever My Queen” or “Relentless” or one of those other riffs that launched a thousand ships, but by digging even just a little further, they get to put their stamp on something familiar while making it their own. » adds The Obelisk.

HIGH REEPER « High Reeper » reissue
Out January 11th on Heavy Psych Sounds
High Reeper’s self titled debut is an unapologetic punch to the face for fans of early ‘70s proto-metal. The sound and smell of leather, weed, boozing, gambling and death permeate the record from start to finish. Nine tracks that run from uptempo straight ahead rock, to slowed down, heavy, early doom. With a rhythm section throwing down grooves that are deeper than the darkest abyss and guitars big enough to put a hole in your chest, the record’s finale hits just as hard as its opening track. Vocals that soar above the guitars with laser like precision, while delivering a direct hit to your soul.
