Album Review: "Curse of the North: I" by Curse of the North

Curse of the North: I

This isn't stoner metal, but let's talk about that concept for a minute.

Awhile back, bands decided that the missing link between Metallica and Black Sabbath was lost, so they became that missing link.

They became the second generation Sabbath.

That's pretty cool. They created bands based on a place and time that no longer existed. The pretended years of metal evolution didn't take place and they went back in time to create a family of metal that never existed.

Our band today feels like they've done something very similar. What if The Misfits and Samhain never existed? What if the Mesa/Boogie sound wasn't standard in metal in the 80's....what if what if...
