Steve I heard "Hounds of Dune" on a Spotify playlist. Loved the grooves, heaviness & originality. After listening to one more track I headed to Bandcamp and bought everything these guys have out. All the music is well produced and freakin kicks ass. So just listen. Read other reviews for a more technical review. All I know is Warchief is my best find since Jack Harlon & the Dead Crows. This shit is awesome. Thank you Bandcamp. Once again. Favorite track: Hounds of the Dune.

Keyzer Röger This is very good mix of different styles of rock; stoner, psych & prog.
The good thing is that this band is still active so there is hope for new stuff in the future.
Favorite track: Hounds of the Dune.
MindOverFour

MindOverFour An interesting mix of progressive long-form rawk, grunge, and space rock. Very much in the Truckfighters style of thoughtful, moody stoner rock with moments of immense power and bombast. Favorite track: For Heavy Damage - II.

Give 07:07
oneness with the jaded stars at the edge of their light wide-eyed in silence, we gazed the sky embraced in the eleventh hour of our last night as the fleeting moments passed we didn't bear to say goodbye to give them life, my own i'll drain at the edge of light i'll see you smile again no chance for me to stay couldn't live with such choice at the mercy of time and space i must journey on distress hanging in the air it's trembling my voice now duty calls to avail mankind to another dawn feeling my own significance receding at the speed that slows the hours one day i will return to earth that once was centuries ago a home of ours

carried through the open and crude intertwined with the wind. threatening, undisciplined. through the withered and and subdued deepened echoes from the unexplored the whispered omen was rumbling toward the hounds of the dune are awake they'll rip apart the silent hour the hounds of the dune never wait surreal terror as they growl in hunger coarse skin will never slough whipped in the whirling. vociferous roaring back into the grit they're blown from a lair of scorching sand came the scourge of this rugged land

Life Went On 09:13
i am thrown outside of this world every time gazing up to the sky can't believe that the change has begun scarce words all end with a sigh quandary, drown in me weeks on end the rain it goes on i am thrown outside of this world lost to view the sun has gone new aeon life went on through the towering layers above rays of light come breaking to view into fragments they cleave our despair spraying forth an unusual hue rapidly vanishing with the rain the clouds disappear not the wind that carried them on still unclear what drained them here full-scale transformation a new shift in the paradigm no vapour from the water domain the earth swallows it all drawn closer to the sun trapped in circulation exposed to its vehemence blazing down from the heavens

at the brink of dawn something shook the shivering daylight the stillness of the night was gone rays from the unknown the dark energy spawned a spirit a life from beyond the stone white heavy cloths, centuries old a creature from a tale never told what anonymous glare brought this vile curse on to this world tearing down every doctrine in its way. this texture feels no pain, with every inch inhumane called upon again from the depths of the grave for a reason unknown the gloomy end of the brightest sunrise is on the verge. it's about to emerge across the mountains and time it wandered on to claim its throne pursuing the reign it once had. its prime and at the brink of dawn just before this fateful morning how could life go on? rancid grave-soaked hands swept right before me i woke up to see the nightmare. one had slept long still in shock from the sudden awakening travelling hundreds of miles every minute not aware of the time and place but still ever ready to kill in the thrall of the lifegiving matter the strange energy gleamed in its eyes the pungent reek of an old tomb was bound to be mixed with the fresh stench of human blood never quite understanding this world gazing down at the panic and the terror although everything was unfamiliar it felt like home inside it felt the glory it had forgotten the world changing forever by its hand it remembered how good it felt to hear the streams of shrieks and the last breath of air blowing out they fought through the day bullets woudn't do fire just scorched its surface and the flames we're too quickly subdued the last line of the human defence wept terrified at its feet and the last of the shouting rifles bursted out its dying cries
5.
still alive i gazed from the ruins no one else to defy it anymore triumph from the human race it danced around the carcass of the world suddenly the night was filled with lights then a thunderous noise took the skies from between the stars something sucked it out the lifeless creature inertly dropped to the ground got us unprepared we were safe and sound our laws of physics were capsized something out of this world came to devastate and as quickly as it had appeared it was absorbed
