HIDDEN HAND, THE   The Resurrection Of Whiskey Foote   2 x CD   (Southern Lord)    14.98

The Resurrection Of Whiskey Foote IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

The latest album from doom-rock heavyweights The Hidden Hand, the current power trio headed by doom legend Scott "Wino" Weinrich (The Obsessed, Saint

Vitus, Probot, Place Of Skulls). With each new release, The Hidden Hand has become more and more nuanced and progressive, and with the band's third album

The Resurrection Of Whiskey Foote, they've produced a heavy, heady quais-concept album with the same lineup that appeared on the out-of-print

Devoid Of Color EP from last year, and which continues in the Hand's style of marrying colossal doom rock riffage to weighty subject matter. The

album's loose narrative revolves around a mythical individual from Revolutionary War-era colonial America that becomes a sort of messianic figure, and is set

against the band's backdrop of righteous jams like the ripping hard rock of "Lightning Hill" and it's awesome high energy harmonica lead, and the pounding

Grand Funk/Sabbath massiveness of"Majestic Presence" which shoots one of Resurrection's most searing solos right thru yer skull before bathing you

in beautiful synth bliss and an awesome comsic psych coda. And check out bassist Bruce Falkinburgh channeling some killer Blackie Lawless style snarl on the

raging "Black Dog"! Obsessed-style power dirges, Southern rock, hard-chargin' 80's metal vibes, and proggy doom riffs all come together into the band's most

progressive, grandiose album to date, dark and heavy, massive and thought-provoking. Awesome! This version of the album is the limited edition edition that

also includes the out-of-print Devoid Of color EP, and comes packaged in a hand-numbered 5" mini-gatefold/double pocket, thick-cardboard jacket.
