Out of the frying pan and into the fire
You are my only desire
Too hot to touch can't help myself
I wanna jump in your fire
You're so good I wanna be bad
Your beauty drives me mad
You're the prettiest fish in town
You turn a room upside down
People are so different and yet the same
Doing all these things that seem insane
All those things that seem so queer
It's just the fact that human nature can be so weird
Slime eel gonna make her squeal
Mind is numb while the body feels
Fantasy and reality
We cross that line so easily

Faerie Ring return and so does the RIFF, all caps. Faerie Ring take what would be a cookie cutter riff from anyone else and just JUICE it so thoroughly, with passion and energy and melodic interest and the all-important rhythmic groove (much more important to a good stoner riff than loud fuzz), that it just blows out your speaker and makes you mean mug. Guaranteed. I loved the wacky sounds they created in the studio that really push this over the edge from great into bonkers-great. pinkytheent

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back...
