Vultures, by Greece’s 1000Mods, is filled with that kind of Wretch lo-fi aesthetic but produced in the Vista Chino era. “Claws” is a great example of that (Especially with an ending reminiscent of “Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop”).

But I digress.

1000mods is by no means a carbon copy Kyuss clone. These heavy rockers rise above the sophomore slump on Vultures with an album that is miles away from their stunning debut , Super Van Vacation. Experimenting more and expanding upon their sound (“Horses’ Green” alone blows apart the majority of SVV with its’ massive grooves) at greater lengths, Vultures preys upon all other posers and rises above to forge something new.

Giannis  and George blues soaked guitars on “She” are high points until their mastery of the instrument and the foundation of the feeling is established during the title track. Add bassist/vocalist Danni to the mix with Labros drumming his ass off and 1000Mods is THE veritable stoner rock psychedelic force to be reckoned with in the new age.

And then “Modesty” chimes in sounding like the bastard child of Kyuss and Clutch and all bets are off. Until the beyond epic instrumental “Reverb Of The New World” kicks in, that is (Just wait until the five and a half minute mark but make sure your seat belt is buckled before you hit that point).

Vultures is out now through The Lab Recs. Do yourself and buy yours here now.
