Heddbuzz (I.R. Puffinstuff) More than a day late on this UK heaviness, but definitely no dollar (or pound) short. Glad to grab the tape before it sells out. Because it almost certainly will. Also, they make pretty sweet recommendations. Favorite track: Sludge Guzzler.

heavydoom118 An 18-wheeler speeding toward hell; fast, dark, heavy. Wonderful from start to finish. Will enjoy this one for a long time. Favorite track: Fatberg.

Lord Dunabunk Nothing makes sunning yourself on a lounger in Tenerife more enjoyable than sitting and listening to Callus exceedingly loud in your headphones.

This band are one to watch...nods to those that came before them but have their own distinctive sound.

If you do not have this band in your life then yours is a sorry existence. Favorite track: Molar Crown.

𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡-𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔢𝔱-𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡 𝓐 righteously wicked riffin' engine impacts a carriage of rollercoasting grooves, shattering the sonic airlock between the primeval spheres of stoner-doom and thrash metal. The ensuing union is resoundingly rugged 'n' raw and a sludge-guzzling celebration of all things heavy. Favorite track: Ka-tet.

about

The second studio album by UK heavy band CALLUS.

REVIEWS:

(Diaries Of Doom)
"This melting pot of sludge, stoner, doom, psych, thrash and progressive metal should not go under the radar of any self-respecting champion of British underground heavy music."
8.5/10
diariesofdoomuk.blogspot.com/2021/11/callus-breath-of-flesh-air.html

(The Razors Edge)
"Whilst Callus combine the heavier end of the stoner vibe, there’s no real genre pinning to be done here. They move ghost-like between styles, retaining the thumping flavors which demand you nod your head and stamp the feet."
therazorsedge.rocks/2021-10-album-review-callus-a-breath-of-fresh-air/

(Outlaws of the Sun)
"Yeah, I absolutely adore this record. The album has the right mix of throwback Heavy Metal vibes with the modern Doom, Sludge and Stoner Metal grooves leaving you wanting more."
outlawsofthesun.blogspot.com/2021/10/callus-breath-of-fresh-air-album-review.html

(Games, Brains and a Headbanging Life)
10/10
"Brilliant. What a brilliant release this is. It’s the sort of thing you hear and you know big things are in store for this band based off it."
www.gbhbl.com/album-review-callus-a-breath-of-flesh-air-trepanation-recordings/

(Andrew Field, APF Records)
"On this evidence, the Lancastrians are going places. An admirable and highly entertaining piece of work. Bravo!"
astralnoizeuk.com/2021/09/02/review-callus-a-breath-of-flesh-air/

(The Sleeping Shaman)
"From the first few notes, you just know it’s going to be a filler-less record with energy as every riff delivers across the album."
www.thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/callus-a-breath-of-flesh-air/

(A Certain Taste)
"Callus has a clear vision of what they want to sound like and allow for other influences to creep in, with no detriment to the songwriting and consensus of sound they wish to portray."
acertaintaste.co.uk/review/callus-a-breath-of-flesh-air

(Head-Banger Reviews)
"It’s at every turn Callus doesn’t only decimate all in its path in glorious fashion, but show us what it really means to deliver the goods in a form that cannot be considered anything other than exceptional."
headbangerreviews.wordpress.com/2021/09/05/callus-a-breath-of-flesh-air/

(Fuzzablity)
"This is a PERFECT and SOLID example of work."
fuzzability.com/en/2021/08/22/callus-ka-tet-stoner-review

(No Clean Signing)
"The artwork and album title grabbed me first, and then the rumbling bass, the clattering drum mania, and the grim, gouging riffage kept the grip."
