The Poison Touch
Warlung
Houston, TX, USA | Doom Metal
Dark and menacing, yet soulful and melodic, Warlung delivers again on their latest studio full length, The Poison Touch. The powerful dual vocals shine on this record, there’s plenty of searing guitar solos and hard-charging groove, and the band sounds tight and focused. Now five albums in, these guys have really honed their unique blend o psychedelic, photo and classic metal, and bluesy hard rock. Like their previous work, The Poison Touch is sure to age well.
