A friend of this reviewer, who will openly admit to watching ‘music talent’ shows like The X Factor and The Voice, religiously found this album to be right up his alley, and there-in lies who this album should appeal too.

The screams of “It’s not the years in your life; it’s the life in your years”, sum up what Atlas, and Parkway Drive, represent perfectly.

Napalm is hard to put down, and it’s hot. Napalm isn’t, and it’s not.

Though Apocryphon isn’t a genre classic like Kyuss’ Welcome To Sky Valley and Monster Magnet’s Dopes To Infinity, it’s further proof that The Sword might have a quintessential album in them.

Grothe’s presence ensures some marketability, but flickers of real promise and a few genuine winners will ensure their tunes won’t merely be relegated to televised sporting montages and highlights packages.

Apart from its flaws, Deer Creek Canyon is an interesting record that’d will no doubt have fans among certain circles.

Moon Duo have more or less packed what contemporary cosmic rock is, in with some interesting and sometimes surprising influences.
