Cosmic Dead, The & Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs [coll] – [Old Noise Records, The]

Imagine you are zooming across unknown space, smoking the finest intergalactic grass in a nuclear powered stoner Space Van! This would be the cassette tape stuck in your stereo. Two heavy 20+ minute riff soaked tracks on here. Glasgow’s “Cosmic Dead” gives you the grooved out bass and drum combo, swirled around with kraut rock esque synths in the back and then you’re trampled by a thick warm creamy guitar licks that’ll send fuzz up and down your spine. Think “Sleep” meets “Hawkwind” in a cloudy space mist. Then, you have Newcastle’s lovable “Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs”. Their track is a throw back to the wild days of 70’s rockers. Take Gibby Haynes(of the Butthole Surfers) and add The MC5. Crank up the distortion and watch the shit fly! This is a bong rattling, bowl torching, smoke filled split.
