Helichrysum

Hippie Death Cult's latest offering, "Helichrysum," is like a psychedelic trip through a flower-filled meadow with a heavy dose of doom. The Portland-based band's blend of stoner rock and 70s-inspired riffs is more addictive than a jam-packed field of poppies. From the opening track, "Red Meat Tricks," the listener is transported to a hazy dream world where groovy basslines and fuzzy guitars reign supreme. The vocals, reminiscent of a stoned Ozzy Osbourne, guide you through this sonic journey with a mix of haunting melodies and raw power. Tracks like "Unborn" and "Black Snake" showcase the band's ability to weave intricate guitar solos with thunderous drum beats, creating an atmosphere that is both hypnotic and electrifying. It's like being caught in a whirlwind of heavy riffs and swirling chaos, but in the best possible way. But don't let the band's name fool you - there is more to "Helichrysum" than just death and destruction. Tracks like "Breeder's Curse" and "Black Snake" offer a glimpse into the band's introspective side, with introspective lyrics that delve into the darker aspects of human nature. Overall, "Helichrysum" is a wild ride that will leave you buzzing long after the last chord fades away. So buckle up, grab your favourite strain, and let Hippie Death Cult take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
