Call of Avernus

by Alunah

supported by

Charlie Hodgson I found Alunah out from the heavy psych sounds samplers and since then I've been slowly buying all the albums, this was the last one to be bought. It usually takes bands a few years to perfect their sound but Alunah have had it from the off some seriously cool riffs on this one particularly 30 seconds in on Dance of Dionysus. Favorite track: Song of the Sun.

Topi Opinions differ. While all three Alunah albums to date are strong, 'Call of Avernus' is my favourite. Favorite track: Call of Avernus.

“Those in need of a fix of psychedelic blues doom need look no further”

TIME MAGAZINE
“Serious heavy doom riffs perfectly combined with distinctive wondrous female vocals”

TERRORIZER MAGAZINE
“This is female magick”

DOOMANTIA.COM
“A band that is equally all about catchiness as it is heaviness and grooves”

MIDLANDS ROCKS
“One of the UK’s best exponents of the genre”

UBERROCK.CO.UK
“If you like bands like Goatsnake, Down, The Lunachicks & Candlemass you’ll love Alunah”

THE OBELISK
“Lack of adherence to the current trends in underground heavy rock makes Alunah stand out on the international scene”
