Kongh - Demo 2006 Samnu ( Regular Member ) 43 posts since 6/2/2006 Posted on 9/30/2006 at 6:26:33 AM Kongh - Demo 2006 Reviewed by Matthew Tranker (StonerRock.com) Self-release Released May 2006 Scandinavia has given not only the U.S., but the world, such fantastic and eclectic music - Opeth, Nasum, Enslaved, etc. Kongh, from Sweden, are another example of that. They have been around since 2004, and have only begun to fight. Kongh’s music, like their name and reference to the classic 1933 movie, is epic. This demo is comprised of four tracks clocking in at 45 minutes. But like their fellow countrymen, Opeth, they keep it interesting and exciting. There are many different sounds and influences from Mastodon, Opeth, Enslaved, to Neurosis. It never gets boring and the music gets down right beautiful at times. There are heavy, soft, and technical parts. Even with all of these influences, it sounds fresh. They should be signed to a label in no time. From beauty to ugliness and everything in between, Kongh keep it interesting and honest. They are cohesive and talented; let’s hope we can hear some more good things from them in the future.

As a matter of fact, we didn't do the logo or artwork ourselves, and neither did any of us know about that Orthodox album until now. Our cover is made by Seldon Hunt, and I'm pretty sure he did that Orthodox cover as well, hence the "similarities"? Anyway, now that you know there's nothing wrong with our creativity, check out the damn album! Cheers..

Just got CH now and am listening to it for the first time. This is some epic heavy shit. Can't wait for their split with Ocean Chief now.

"Turned To Dust" ended up on the Pharmacopiea Boxset. Split with Ocean Chief is now available from Land o'Smiles.
