Swamp rock that drudges onwards with grimy guitars and stoner rock riffage, “God Luck and Good Speed” was actually recorded by one of the hallowed stars of the grunge era from which they emerged—the legendary Steve Albini (Nirvana, Neurosis, High on Fire, Pillow Theory) who also produced and mixed the album. Doom metal star Dave “Dixie” Collins is Weedeater’s frontman and bassist. Having previously recorded under the watchful eye and tuneful ears of Billy Anderson (Melvins, High on Fire, Neurosis), Weedeater finds that Albini focuses on creating a loud live drum sound with crunchy heavily distorted guitars. Sick discordant harmonies and raw throat vocals make this one of the heaviest albums to come out so far this year.
