(review) Lüger – Revelations of the Sacred Skull

Lüger are hailing from Montreal, Canada and are not to be confused with Croatian punk band with the same name. This band is active since 2013 and this is their second full length opus containing 10 songs. This band is a perfect soundtrack to post apocalypse Mad Max remnants of humanity when only most bloodthirsty and most devious roam this planet and raise Hell, drink and smoke, then raise some Hell again and do some occult rites on the night of full moon. Music is a mixture of Motorhead punk induced mayhem, occult doom metal and melodic metal with anthemic epic choruses like awesome ‘Black Acid’, more biker rock oriented as in ‘Motorcity Hellcats’, There are couple of longer songs here, but the do not get boring as some similar bands that lean more on stoner sometimes tend to be. These guys mean business, they will tie your body to a bike, drag your ass through the wasteland and laugh about it later during dinner over roast coyote. My personal favorites on this one: ‘The Sacred Skull’, ‘Filthy Streets’ and ‘Bloodmoon’. Good album.
