Accolades for
The Wind Blows Witches from the Sky
The sound from Rietdijk�s throat suggests a lifetime of drinking whiskey and fits in perfectly with the heavy stoner rock of Wallrus. But from the first note on it becomes clear that we are not dealing with just your typical stoner band here. When harmonica and slide guitars are put to work it is all about the blues. And there�s no denying sweet reminiscences of bands like Taste, Cream, or Masters of Reality.
The pounding drums of Joeri Rook together with the stone-hard riffs of Conrad Freling, the growling bass of Paul van Schaik, and the long cries of Rob Rietdijk will force a river into a deluge. Reminiscent of Led Zeppelin�s debut album.
On a reinforced concrete foundation of 60s blues rock (Cream) they build a bulky bunker made out of 90s stoner somewhere between Kyuss, Masters of Reality and Soundgarden. On the wall, instead of a clich� Playboy-poster, a framed faded poster depicting Howlin� Wolf's Moanin� at Midnight. Somewhere in a corner are Black Sabbath�s first few albums and in the middle of the room Wallrus plays its balls off.
