San Franciscoveterans Disastroid have been serving up sludgy, grunge-infused stoner rock forthe better part of a decade now, refining a sound that weaves heavy riffstogether with angular guitar lines, odd time signatures, and hazy walls of fuzz.As influenced by '90s noise rock as they are by modern psych, doom, andpost-metal, Disastroid delivers thick, satisfying stoner rock stomp while alsoembracing layers of noise, tripped-out feedback, and some unpredictable songstructures. Their original approach, captured on their 2014 record 'Missiles'and the 2017 follow-up 'Screen', has made them one of the most essential bandsin the Bay Area music scene. 'Mortal Fools' is their heaviest and mostexpansive-sounding album to date. Produced by Tim Green (Nation Of Ulysses, TheFucking Champs), it's sonically focused on what Disastroid does best, layingsinger/guitarist Enver Koneya's deep vocals and fuzzed-out riffs on top of arelentless, pummeling rhythm section. At the same time, it's loose enough thatit takes some unpredictable twists and turns, conveying the band's rough edges,sense of humor, and noisy, experimental streak.
